Gloria takes the baby to her room, he's sleeping with her in the same room for now.. as she's feeding him she looks at his crystal blue eyes and sees little Alex in him, she remembers as if it all happened yesterday..
-FLASHBACK-
"Mrs. Robinson?"
"Speaking, how may I help you?"
"It's your husband... he.."
"JOEL? What happened?? Is he ok?!"
"Look, there's no easy way to say it.. your husband has passed away about 20 minutes ago. He was hit by a truck about an hour ago.. they just sealed his fate.." From that point on her life was turned around 180 degrees. She couldn't even cry because she was in to much of a shock.
"M'am? Are you the-" toot - toot - toot. Then all of the questions came up: How do I keep on living? CAN I keep on living? How do I tell little Alex?
Alex. She forgot about him. How can she break his heart? at such a young age? he's only 7 after all...
She hasn't noticed that she has been thinking and crying for almost 4 hours, and that she must go pick up Alex from his friend, Neil.
-SCENE SWAP-
"MOMMY!" Alex called as he ran up to her and gave her a big hug. "Did they have a good time?" She asks. "Yes, they watched TV, drew together, played with their Legos.." "Good to hear.. Thanks Michelle." She says to Neil's mother.
-SCENE SWAP-
"Mom look what I drew at Neil's house!", He says as he shows her a picture of the whole family. She then sees Joel in it, and she can't stop the tears from coming. "What happened mommy?" Her son asks her. she looks into his eyes, I HAVE to do it... She takes a deep breath and says: "Sweetie, you know how much I love you, right?" "Yes, I do" "Good. Listen, it's about daddy.. He went somewhere.. where all the special people go..". "When is he coming back?" He asked with a sad but hopefull expression. She knew she had to crush that hope. "He isn't."
-End of flashback-
"No more.. no more death.. please... for him..."
She then slowly drifts to sleep.
NOTE: PHEW! That was a heavy one! Hope you liked it and I hope it explained explicitly how Alex lost his father.

Alex and Matt are packing their bags, and are interrupted by Gloria. "Where do you think your going?" Alex looks up at his mother. "Going to get Aaron a cradle. We might be gone long, so that's why we're packing bags."... Melody comes rushing out of her room, with a bag on her back. "Hey sweetie." Melody says wrapping her hands wrapping arms around Matt. He looks up at her. "And where are you going?" He asks. Melody looks puzzled. "Coming with you of course!" She says....... "Don't you remember the last time you came with us? You almost got kidnapped!" Matt snaps!
Melody begins to cry. "But, you saved me!"
Matt thinks before speaking. "Yeah, and a good man died because of it!"
Melody stands completely speechless.
Matt starts again. "You're not coming. That's it."
The duo starts their way down the road. "I know a good place to stay, if we ever need to camp out someplace." Alex says.... "Where might that be?"... Alex smiles. "The Everett family drugstore."
"Melody, just forget him! He's obviously not ready for a relationship." Gloria says. Melody sighs. "I'm going to head back to my room."
Night time... "Wonder why their not back by now..." Gloria says to the baby. "Why don't we go check how Melody is doing."
Gloria makes her way to Melody's door, and begins to knock. No answer. She knocks again. No answer. She slowly opens the door to Melody's room. "What the hell?!" Gloria says as she runs inside.
She finds a note.
Please continue with the note, (Make sure it shows how Melody left the travelier motel) Please nobody show that she died, because her character follows up into our other fan-fic.

I have left the motel because I am not treated as an equal, and frankly, I feel like I don't belong here.
I will miss you, you have been a good friend to me and I am sorry for my lack of faith in your plan to go to Rome. I am heading somewhere safer, so please, don't worry. Take care of baby Aaron! Tell Alexander to keep up the shooting practice. As for Matt, I don't care.
So um... Bye, Gloria. Maybe we'll see eachother again some time.
Melody
"Oh Melody... Goodbye." Gloria whispered.
-Scene Swap-
"Shit. Get away from me!" a boy yelled on the road. Melody didn't know how to react, and was startled by the sound of sharp metal hitting a human skull. "NO! GET OFF ME!" the boy screamed. Melody couldn't let him suffer... could she? She pulled out her bow and aimed it at the walkers skull and... the walker fell. There were still 3 more though, and Melody left her spare arrows at home. "Fuck" she muttered. Melody pulls out her pistol and sneaks towards the walkers, but is surprised when the boy cracks another walker skull with his climing ax- Wait... climbing axe... Gloria mentioned something about the boy who saved her. He had something that looked like an icepick. Could this be Aaron? She realized she hadn't been paying attention and the two walkers had jumped on Aaron. He turns his head and sees her... "HELP ME! PLEASE!" Aaron begged, and Melody quickly assisted him, shooting both walkers.
"Thanks... Who are you?" asked Aaron. "Melody, and you're Aaron... right?" Melody responded.
The shock on Aaron's face told her that she was correct in her assumption. "The lady who you saved from those two men told me about you. You know she named the baby after you." Melody said. Aaron simply responded with a smile.
"So where are you going?" Aaron asked. "Rome." Melody responded. "So am I... maybe we could go together? It would be nice to have company, it's not fun being alone with just my axe."
"Of course I'll come with you, I mean we're going to the same place right?" Aaron smiles, as they continue to walk down the road.
Note: It's still night time...." "So where did you say would be a good place to camp out?" Matt asks Alex. Alex feels good, that Matt likes his idea. "It's called the Everett family drugstore. My dad used to work there." Then the memories come flushing in...
Flashback
Dad comes rushing through the door, pressing his arms around his son, Alex. He then starts to tickle him. "Dad Laugh, Haha stop tickle- Hahahaaa stop tickling me!" Then a younger looking Gloria marches from her room. "What're you two doing?" She asks, as Dad acts quickly. "Alex here won't stop tickling me!" Alex looks up at his father, then his mother. They all begin to laugh. "I have to head back to work now. Okay son?" Alex nods, and watches his father leave.
It had been 20 minutes before he heard his mom crying. "Alex, you have to- Sob, cry, cry you have to go to Neil's house, I'll come get you later." Alex looks confused. "Mom, what's wrong?" Gloria takes a minute before replying. "I don't know sweetie, I just don't know..."
The helicopter lay dormant on the Everett Pharmacy roof, the rotors rotating with every frigid breeze passing by. "Hoo, boy," Matt said. "Shit went down here, didn't it?" "Yeah, I guess." Alexander replied. "You guess?" Matt asked. "We were coming back from a trip to Daytona Beach when things got to shit. We were at the Georgia state line when we got attacked by the walkers. Then-" Alexander stopped suddenly, as he heard a low, growling moan. "Hear that?" He whispered. "Yeah." Matt answered as he pulled his pistol out. Alexander sighed as he loaded his M-16. "Got 20 here," Alexander announced. "Thirty... Uh... 39 here, man," Matt said. "Okay, c'mon Matt," Alexander said as he walked cautiously through the back door of the Pharmacy...
~ FLASHBACK ~
Gloria smiled as Lee Everett walked up to her. "Hey, Gloria," he said. "Hey, Lee," she said. Alexander, standing shyly beside Gloria, waved at Lee. "Hey little bud," Lee said. Gloria smiled for a second. "Congratulations, Lee. I hope things go well with your new wife," she said. "Y'know, I always looked up to Greg. His advice always helped me out," Lee said. Gloria's mind raced across years to Greg. Seeing his big grin mangled into a deathly, morbid grimace as he lay dying in the streets, Gloria was eerily calm, reminiscent as she said, "Yeah, he was." Lee looked pained and sad as he moved onward to talk with Big B, as Alexander referred to Lee's brother. Gloria and Alexander walked out of the Pharmacy as it began to rain softly.
"Of course I'll come with you, I mean we're going to the same place right?" Aaron smiles, as they continue to walk down the road.
Note: It'… mores still night time...." "So where did you say would be a good place to camp out?" Matt asks Alex. Alex feels good, that Matt likes his idea. "It's called the Everett family drugstore. My dad used to work there." Then the memories come flushing in...

"Shit it's got no protection in here!" Matt exclaims. "But it- it has to work. It's my only memory of my dad." Alexander begins a soft cry. "I know its been 9 years since he died... but..." his voice is interrupted by a sound nobody will ever get used to. "Walkers..." Matt says. Alexander pulls his gun out ready to shoot, when he hears's a sound he actually hasn't heard in a while. Thunder, and rain. "Shit! Follow me! I know a room we can lock ourselves in." Alexander leads Matt to a small room in the drugstore. "Looks like we're going to be here for a while..." Matt says.
The night had passed, along with another full day. The rain hadn't stopped. Matt lay asleep, while Alexander stays awake to keep watch. When all of a sudden he hears a knock on the locked door of the room. "Huh?" He says as he pulls his gun out, and proceeds to open the door. On the other side was a soaking wet Gloria, holding an upset Aaron. "Lightning struk the hotel. It started a big fire, I tried to pit it out but... I didn't have enough time." Alexander stands in disbelief, that was his home. "How did you- how did you know I was here?" Gloria turns the bad day upside down and smiles. "I knew if you were staying anywhere... it'd be here."
Major choice #5
A. Decide to go to Rome
B. Decide to have a temporary new home.
C. Decide to live in the drugstore.
D. Decide to start fresh, with a completely new home.

Matt's thoughts begin to speak louder then his words ever could.
It was him, his sister, and his girlfriend. They were all going to the same college, they had their own apartment. He was at class when it all started.
"Classes will be cancelled for today and tomorrow. Due to a outbreak of a new disease." The announcement, didn't make it seem so bad. But when he went back to his apartment, and found his girlfriend bit, he didn't know what to do. That was the first time he didn't know what to do.
He brought her to the hospital, since she had a terrible flu. She was coming in, and out of consciousnesses. He hadn't left her side the whole time he was there. Then, the bad people had came.
They came in with guns, and all sorts of weapons, all of them were wearing masks. One of them entered his room, and shot his girlfriend. Luckily Matt kept a pocket knife on him at all times. In an act of anger, and frustration, he slit the man's throat.
He had no idea on what to do. He grabbed the man's gun, and stayed in the corner of the hospital room.
Then the worst part. The man never shot his girlfriend in the head, so she turned. "Patty?! Patty why aren't you talking?! How are you even alive?!" He said, as he hopped into the closet, and kept it shut.
Patty would have gotten to him. But Matt's sister saved him, she came running into the room with an assault rifle, and hammered the bullets straight into Patty's skull.
He and Patty found the only survivors in their area. They all made a camp out in the woods. They were hoping something good could come from it. And it did, we had been living fine for nearly 70 days.
But then the Commander came, and shot everyone in his group. Everyone except him...
The Commander leered angrily at Matt and his group. "YOU THINK I'M FUCKING KIDDING?" He shouts at the group. "ME AND MY MEN WILL KILL ALL OF YOU AND RAPE YOUR GODDAMN WORTHLESS CORPSES!" Matt saw one of the men, Quincy, lick his lips as he eyed Matt's sister Amelia. Zach and Austin, standing by Stanley, were warily holding their M-16's, caring only about the food and weapons. Stanley grimaced oh so slightly as the Commander spoke again. "YOU TELL ME WHERE THAT DAMN FARM IS!" The Commander shouted at Adrian, Matt's friend and leader of his group. Adrian, as scared as he was, defied the Commander. "I. Don't. Fucking. Know." Adrian said. The Commander grimaced. "Fine," he said. "Quincy, take that blonde girl. Amelia, I think?" Quincy grinned as he pulled Amelia against him. "You're going to love this!" He whispered to her. Matt was scared to death, but just as he started to object, Stanley shouted,
[CHOICE #6]
[A. No!] [B. What the fuck is wrong with you?] [C. She don't deserve that!] [D.FUCK YOU! (Punch Quincey)]
Erm... I guess my post wasn't as clear as I wanted it to. Party was the girlfriend, I never named the sister. Sorry. If you want me to edit, I can change it so the sister is named party.

Oh. Well basically, we haven't continued off of the MAJOR CHOICE just yet, We needed to wait for time to vote. The last two posts were a flashback sequence of Matt.
"She doesn't deserve this! She's another person! Just like you or me. What if you were in her position?" The commander smiles, and looks back to Gloria. "If I were in her position, I would be loving to fuck me." Matt quickly begins to frown. "Please.. Don't.." He says.
The commander simply laughs as he takes Amelia's shirt off. "Now for the fun part.." He says as Stanley interrupts. "Don't. Touch. Her." He says. The commander let's go of Amelia, and walks over to Stanley. "I've given you way to many chances.." He says as he put's his M-16 up to the face of Stanley and fires.
"NO!!!" Austin screams, as he drops to the ground.
Matt and Amelia run off in one direction through the woods, using Stanley's death as an escape. When all of a sudden the Commander, and his buddies run straight in front of them.
"I can't believe you ran.. I could have given you the time of your life.." The commander says as he shoots his M-16 into her skull. She falls into Matt's arms and he begins a soft cry.
"Shit! I have to reload! Shoot that other fucker!" The commander says to his buddies. They all stand still, nodding to Matt to escape. Matt mouthed the words "Thank you" To them as he escapes.
Reality
Matt awakes from his dream, and sees Gloria and Alexander talking to each other. "Where's- where's Melody?" Gloria looks down at Matt. "I'll tell you later... I need to tell you something. We've made a decision.. we've decided to...
Note: For the next person to post, say "We've decided to... (and you insert the winning post from the Major Choice.)
"Shit it's got no protection in here!" Matt exclaims. "But it- it has to work. It's my only memory of my dad." Alexander begins a soft cry. "I… more know its been 9 years since he died... but..." his voice is interrupted by a sound nobody will ever get used to. "Walkers..." Matt says. Alexander pulls his gun out ready to shoot, when he hears's a sound he actually hasn't heard in a while. Thunder, and rain. "Shit! Follow me! I know a room we can lock ourselves in."

"I can't believe that moron kid, Ben was it? Was giving us all of those supplies." The commander says, chewing on a piece of beef jerky. Quincy snickers. "The bitch is a moron! Good for us though."
They are interrupted by Stanley. "Mr. Commander sir, he didn't give us the supplies today." The commander spits his jerky out and replies. "Well, we're going to have to kill them."
"Send out everybody, except you 5." The Commander says referring to Quincy, Zack, Austin, Stanley, Samuel, and another man named Emmit.
One man comes back, after the battle. "Sir, they killed everyone of us..." Says a small bandit. "Did they?" The commander says. "The group has never been this small.." The small man makes a mistake, by joking. "Well i'm still here sir!" The Commander looks back at the man. "Are you know?" He says as grabs his knife, and jams it through the man's eyeball.
"What the hell are you AHH!!!!" The man screams in pain. The commander quickly pulls it out, and does it to the other eye. The man is now bleeding and screaming at the top of his lungs. The Commander tears the second eye out, and put's the eye in his hand. "I'll be saving you!" He says.
The commander continues his attack, by piercing the knife through his nose. "Is your nose bleeding?" The commander asks laughing. He pulls the knife out of the man's nose, and begins to cut off the man's hand.
Out of the 6 remaining bandits, the only one who isn't puking, is Quincy, who is laughing away. "Can I lend you a HAND?!" Quincy asks laughing uncontrollably.
The Commander then begins to chop the man's head off. "Wanna play soccer?" He asks Quincy. He nods, as they kick around the poor man's head. Then Emmit, who is trying to be on the Commanders' good side joins in. And begins kicking the head around.
Emmit forgot one crutial detail. The head takes it out. Emmit left the head next to his foot, while taking a break, and it chomped it's teeth straight into Emmit's foot. Emmit acted quickly, and shot the thing.
The Commander stands speechless. "Cut my leg off!!" Emmit says. The commander and Quincy exchange a look. "I'll cut something off.." The commander mumbles. He approaches Emmit, and slices his neck off also.
"Serves you for destroying our only soccer ball..."
NOTE: Sorry if it's a bit diluted, I wrote all this down and backspaced accidentally.... made me feel dead inside.
"We've decided to fortify this place, make it our temporary home" Gloria says. "Good idea, we need to gather every last bit of strength we have left for the road.. Also, we need to check if there're any lone survivors wanting to join us.. after all.. safety in numbers is the name of the game". "You're right", Alex says. "Tell you what, tomorrow, with the break of dawn we'll go and check Macon for any survivors willing to join us". "Sounds like a plan to me, goodnight guys."
"Go long!"
"I'm going!" He says as he throws the ball. vooosh the ball makes a sound while piercing through the air at high speed, "I got it!" Alex says as he catches the ball.
"Good job champ! Come give me a hug!". Alex runs to his father and gives him a big hug.
"You know I'm going to your uncle Patrick's wedding tomorrow right?"
"Yes, how long is it? Going to Jacksonville?"
"A few hours, nothing special, I'll be back at Wednesday".
"Ok.. dad, can I ask you something?"
"Of course little guy, what is it?"
"You'll never leave me, right?"
"Of course not! Why would you think that?"
"Like Neil's father left him.."
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you".
"You promise?"
"I'll never leave you, I promise". He says as he starts fading into thin air..
"DAD? DAD?!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!! DADDY!!!!!"
"DAD!!" Alex screams in horror as he wakes up. Luckily, he didn't wake up anyone, not even Lil' Aaron. he then looks up and says "You promised you'll never leave me!you promised...". he then falls asleep.
NOTE: Jacksonville is on the way to Rome, just sayin'...

Your not stupid. Everyone makes mistakes.
You mind if I write now?
Go ahead. I'll go after.
I'm in class as I'm writing this, I'll write when I get back.
Gloria takes the baby to her room, he's sleeping with her in the same room for now.. as she's feeding him she looks at his crystal blue eyes and sees little Alex in him, she remembers as if it all happened yesterday..
-FLASHBACK-
"Mrs. Robinson?"
"Speaking, how may I help you?"
"It's your husband... he.."
"JOEL? What happened?? Is he ok?!"
"Look, there's no easy way to say it.. your husband has passed away about 20 minutes ago. He was hit by a truck about an hour ago.. they just sealed his fate.." From that point on her life was turned around 180 degrees. She couldn't even cry because she was in to much of a shock.
"M'am? Are you the-" toot - toot - toot. Then all of the questions came up:
How do I keep on living?
CAN I keep on living?
How do I tell little Alex?
Alex. She forgot about him. How can she break his heart? at such a young age? he's only 7 after all...
She hasn't noticed that she has been thinking and crying for almost 4 hours, and that she must go pick up Alex from his friend, Neil.
-SCENE SWAP-
"MOMMY!" Alex called as he ran up to her and gave her a big hug. "Did they have a good time?" She asks. "Yes, they watched TV, drew together, played with their Legos.." "Good to hear.. Thanks Michelle." She says to Neil's mother.
-SCENE SWAP-
"Mom look what I drew at Neil's house!", He says as he shows her a picture of the whole family. She then sees Joel in it, and she can't stop the tears from coming. "What happened mommy?" Her son asks her. she looks into his eyes, I HAVE to do it... She takes a deep breath and says: "Sweetie, you know how much I love you, right?" "Yes, I do" "Good. Listen, it's about daddy.. He went somewhere.. where all the special people go..". "When is he coming back?" He asked with a sad but hopefull expression. She knew she had to crush that hope. "He isn't."
-End of flashback-
"No more.. no more death.. please... for him..."
She then slowly drifts to sleep.
NOTE: PHEW! That was a heavy one! Hope you liked it and I hope it explained explicitly how Alex lost his father.
Nice job, I like the whole flashback scene, felt like I was reading a book.
Continuing after the night....
Alex and Matt are packing their bags, and are interrupted by Gloria. "Where do you think your going?" Alex looks up at his mother. "Going to get Aaron a cradle. We might be gone long, so that's why we're packing bags."... Melody comes rushing out of her room, with a bag on her back. "Hey sweetie." Melody says wrapping her hands wrapping arms around Matt. He looks up at her. "And where are you going?" He asks. Melody looks puzzled. "Coming with you of course!" She says....... "Don't you remember the last time you came with us? You almost got kidnapped!" Matt snaps!
Melody begins to cry. "But, you saved me!"
Matt thinks before speaking. "Yeah, and a good man died because of it!"
Melody stands completely speechless.
Matt starts again. "You're not coming. That's it."
The duo starts their way down the road. "I know a good place to stay, if we ever need to camp out someplace." Alex says.... "Where might that be?"... Alex smiles. "The Everett family drugstore."
"Melody, just forget him! He's obviously not ready for a relationship." Gloria says. Melody sighs. "I'm going to head back to my room."
Night time... "Wonder why their not back by now..." Gloria says to the baby. "Why don't we go check how Melody is doing."

Please continue with the note, (Make sure it shows how Melody left the travelier motel) Please nobody show that she died, because her character follows up into our other fan-fic.
Nice to hear.
Yeah you did a good job. I feel like we need to flesh out the characters more.
How far ahead is the other fanfic? If it's a long time maybe we can see her again in Rome.
Well this is around 100 days, and when we met Melody in the other fan-fic it was somewhere around 260.
Alright, thanks.
I'm writing now, I wont be too long.
Dear Gloria
I have left the motel because I am not treated as an equal, and frankly, I feel like I don't belong here.

GRRR i was just in the middle of writing and i pressed backspace, and it took me back to the homepage.... I'm going to continue writing.
I know your pain! So infuriating.
"Of course I'll come with you, I mean we're going to the same place right?" Aaron smiles, as they continue to walk down the road.
Note: It's still night time...." "So where did you say would be a good place to camp out?" Matt asks Alex. Alex feels good, that Matt likes his idea. "It's called the Everett family drugstore. My dad used to work there." Then the memories come flushing in...
Flashback
Dad comes rushing through the door, pressing his arms around his son, Alex. He then starts to tickle him. "Dad Laugh, Haha stop tickle- Hahahaaa stop tickling me!" Then a younger looking Gloria marches from her room. "What're you two doing?" She asks, as Dad acts quickly. "Alex here won't stop tickling me!" Alex looks up at his father, then his mother. They all begin to laugh. "I have to head back to work now. Okay son?" Alex nods, and watches his father leave.
It had been 20 minutes before he heard his mom crying. "Alex, you have to- Sob, cry, cry you have to go to Neil's house, I'll come get you later." Alex looks confused. "Mom, what's wrong?" Gloria takes a minute before replying. "I don't know sweetie, I just don't know..."
I feel you bro.
The helicopter lay dormant on the Everett Pharmacy roof, the rotors rotating with every frigid breeze passing by. "Hoo, boy," Matt said. "Shit went down here, didn't it?" "Yeah, I guess." Alexander replied. "You guess?" Matt asked. "We were coming back from a trip to Daytona Beach when things got to shit. We were at the Georgia state line when we got attacked by the walkers. Then-" Alexander stopped suddenly, as he heard a low, growling moan. "Hear that?" He whispered. "Yeah." Matt answered as he pulled his pistol out. Alexander sighed as he loaded his M-16. "Got 20 here," Alexander announced. "Thirty... Uh... 39 here, man," Matt said. "Okay, c'mon Matt," Alexander said as he walked cautiously through the back door of the Pharmacy...
~ FLASHBACK ~
Gloria smiled as Lee Everett walked up to her. "Hey, Gloria," he said. "Hey, Lee," she said. Alexander, standing shyly beside Gloria, waved at Lee. "Hey little bud," Lee said. Gloria smiled for a second. "Congratulations, Lee. I hope things go well with your new wife," she said. "Y'know, I always looked up to Greg. His advice always helped me out," Lee said. Gloria's mind raced across years to Greg. Seeing his big grin mangled into a deathly, morbid grimace as he lay dying in the streets, Gloria was eerily calm, reminiscent as she said, "Yeah, he was." Lee looked pained and sad as he moved onward to talk with Big B, as Alexander referred to Lee's brother. Gloria and Alexander walked out of the Pharmacy as it began to rain softly.
~ PLEASE CONTINUE ~
"Shit it's got no protection in here!" Matt exclaims. "But it- it has to work. It's my only memory of my dad." Alexander begins a soft cry. "I know its been 9 years since he died... but..." his voice is interrupted by a sound nobody will ever get used to. "Walkers..." Matt says. Alexander pulls his gun out ready to shoot, when he hears's a sound he actually hasn't heard in a while. Thunder, and rain. "Shit! Follow me! I know a room we can lock ourselves in." Alexander leads Matt to a small room in the drugstore. "Looks like we're going to be here for a while..." Matt says.
The night had passed, along with another full day. The rain hadn't stopped. Matt lay asleep, while Alexander stays awake to keep watch. When all of a sudden he hears a knock on the locked door of the room. "Huh?" He says as he pulls his gun out, and proceeds to open the door. On the other side was a soaking wet Gloria, holding an upset Aaron. "Lightning struk the hotel. It started a big fire, I tried to pit it out but... I didn't have enough time." Alexander stands in disbelief, that was his home. "How did you- how did you know I was here?" Gloria turns the bad day upside down and smiles. "I knew if you were staying anywhere... it'd be here."
Major choice #5
B. I feel like the road for Rome should be later but..who knows
B, only for a week or so, until they are ready.
I vote A, that's where Gloria would want to go.
It was the early days, they were the worst.
Matt's thoughts begin to speak louder then his words ever could.
It was him, his sister, and his girlfriend. They were all going to the same college, they had their own apartment. He was at class when it all started.
"Classes will be cancelled for today and tomorrow. Due to a outbreak of a new disease." The announcement, didn't make it seem so bad. But when he went back to his apartment, and found his girlfriend bit, he didn't know what to do. That was the first time he didn't know what to do.
He brought her to the hospital, since she had a terrible flu. She was coming in, and out of consciousnesses. He hadn't left her side the whole time he was there. Then, the bad people had came.
They came in with guns, and all sorts of weapons, all of them were wearing masks. One of them entered his room, and shot his girlfriend. Luckily Matt kept a pocket knife on him at all times. In an act of anger, and frustration, he slit the man's throat.
He had no idea on what to do. He grabbed the man's gun, and stayed in the corner of the hospital room.
Then the worst part. The man never shot his girlfriend in the head, so she turned. "Patty?! Patty why aren't you talking?! How are you even alive?!" He said, as he hopped into the closet, and kept it shut.
Patty would have gotten to him. But Matt's sister saved him, she came running into the room with an assault rifle, and hammered the bullets straight into Patty's skull.
He and Patty found the only survivors in their area. They all made a camp out in the woods. They were hoping something good could come from it. And it did, we had been living fine for nearly 70 days.
But then the Commander came, and shot everyone in his group. Everyone except him...
The Commander leered angrily at Matt and his group. "YOU THINK I'M FUCKING KIDDING?" He shouts at the group. "ME AND MY MEN WILL KILL ALL OF YOU AND RAPE YOUR GODDAMN WORTHLESS CORPSES!" Matt saw one of the men, Quincy, lick his lips as he eyed Matt's sister Amelia. Zach and Austin, standing by Stanley, were warily holding their M-16's, caring only about the food and weapons. Stanley grimaced oh so slightly as the Commander spoke again. "YOU TELL ME WHERE THAT DAMN FARM IS!" The Commander shouted at Adrian, Matt's friend and leader of his group. Adrian, as scared as he was, defied the Commander. "I. Don't. Fucking. Know." Adrian said. The Commander grimaced. "Fine," he said. "Quincy, take that blonde girl. Amelia, I think?" Quincy grinned as he pulled Amelia against him. "You're going to love this!" He whispered to her. Matt was scared to death, but just as he started to object, Stanley shouted,
[CHOICE #6]
[A. No!] [B. What the fuck is wrong with you?] [C. She don't deserve that!] [D.FUCK YOU! (Punch Quincey)]
Erm... I guess my post wasn't as clear as I wanted it to. Party was the girlfriend, I never named the sister. Sorry. If you want me to edit, I can change it so the sister is named party.
So... When do we continue with the major choice? This back story is pretty cool it's just kinda confusing.
Oh, sorry. I'll change the sister's name.
We can continue whenever you want to. As for the backstory, you want me to summarize it or something like that?
No, I mean like, we just left it at a major choice and started doing this. It could be confusing for new people.
Oh. Well basically, we haven't continued off of the MAJOR CHOICE just yet, We needed to wait for time to vote. The last two posts were a flashback sequence of Matt.
"She doesn't deserve this! She's another person! Just like you or me. What if you were in her position?" The commander smiles, and looks back to Gloria. "If I were in her position, I would be loving to fuck me." Matt quickly begins to frown. "Please.. Don't.." He says.
The commander simply laughs as he takes Amelia's shirt off. "Now for the fun part.." He says as Stanley interrupts. "Don't. Touch. Her." He says. The commander let's go of Amelia, and walks over to Stanley. "I've given you way to many chances.." He says as he put's his M-16 up to the face of Stanley and fires.
"NO!!!" Austin screams, as he drops to the ground.
Matt and Amelia run off in one direction through the woods, using Stanley's death as an escape. When all of a sudden the Commander, and his buddies run straight in front of them.
"I can't believe you ran.. I could have given you the time of your life.." The commander says as he shoots his M-16 into her skull. She falls into Matt's arms and he begins a soft cry.
"Shit! I have to reload! Shoot that other fucker!" The commander says to his buddies. They all stand still, nodding to Matt to escape. Matt mouthed the words "Thank you" To them as he escapes.
Reality
Matt awakes from his dream, and sees Gloria and Alexander talking to each other. "Where's- where's Melody?" Gloria looks down at Matt. "I'll tell you later... I need to tell you something. We've made a decision.. we've decided to...
Note: For the next person to post, say "We've decided to... (and you insert the winning post from the Major Choice.)
What do we do if the vote is a tie?
In the interests of keeping the story going, B.
Wait until another voter comes, but so far, B is up. (ClementineCultist you should vote, to settle this)
Hey guys, we really need to start discussing episode names. Here are mine
Episode #...
FLASHBACK
"I can't believe that moron kid, Ben was it? Was giving us all of those supplies." The commander says, chewing on a piece of beef jerky. Quincy snickers. "The bitch is a moron! Good for us though."
They are interrupted by Stanley. "Mr. Commander sir, he didn't give us the supplies today." The commander spits his jerky out and replies. "Well, we're going to have to kill them."
"Send out everybody, except you 5." The Commander says referring to Quincy, Zack, Austin, Stanley, Samuel, and another man named Emmit.
One man comes back, after the battle. "Sir, they killed everyone of us..." Says a small bandit. "Did they?" The commander says. "The group has never been this small.." The small man makes a mistake, by joking. "Well i'm still here sir!" The Commander looks back at the man. "Are you know?" He says as grabs his knife, and jams it through the man's eyeball.
"What the hell are you AHH!!!!" The man screams in pain. The commander quickly pulls it out, and does it to the other eye. The man is now bleeding and screaming at the top of his lungs. The Commander tears the second eye out, and put's the eye in his hand. "I'll be saving you!" He says.
The commander continues his attack, by piercing the knife through his nose. "Is your nose bleeding?" The commander asks laughing. He pulls the knife out of the man's nose, and begins to cut off the man's hand.
Out of the 6 remaining bandits, the only one who isn't puking, is Quincy, who is laughing away. "Can I lend you a HAND?!" Quincy asks laughing uncontrollably.
The Commander then begins to chop the man's head off. "Wanna play soccer?" He asks Quincy. He nods, as they kick around the poor man's head. Then Emmit, who is trying to be on the Commanders' good side joins in. And begins kicking the head around.
Emmit forgot one crutial detail. The head takes it out. Emmit left the head next to his foot, while taking a break, and it chomped it's teeth straight into Emmit's foot. Emmit acted quickly, and shot the thing.
The Commander stands speechless. "Cut my leg off!!" Emmit says. The commander and Quincy exchange a look. "I'll cut something off.." The commander mumbles. He approaches Emmit, and slices his neck off also.
"Serves you for destroying our only soccer ball..."
Nice name suggestions! Only thing I want to add is for the first episode's name:
only the strong ones, as In only the strong ones survive
NOTE: Sorry if it's a bit diluted, I wrote all this down and backspaced accidentally.... made me feel dead inside.
"We've decided to fortify this place, make it our temporary home" Gloria says. "Good idea, we need to gather every last bit of strength we have left for the road.. Also, we need to check if there're any lone survivors wanting to join us.. after all.. safety in numbers is the name of the game". "You're right", Alex says. "Tell you what, tomorrow, with the break of dawn we'll go and check Macon for any survivors willing to join us". "Sounds like a plan to me, goodnight guys."
"Go long!"
"I'm going!" He says as he throws the ball.
vooosh the ball makes a sound while piercing through the air at high speed, "I got it!" Alex says as he catches the ball.
"Good job champ! Come give me a hug!". Alex runs to his father and gives him a big hug.
"You know I'm going to your uncle Patrick's wedding tomorrow right?"
"Yes, how long is it? Going to Jacksonville?"
"A few hours, nothing special, I'll be back at Wednesday".
"Ok.. dad, can I ask you something?"
"Of course little guy, what is it?"
"You'll never leave me, right?"
"Of course not! Why would you think that?"
"Like Neil's father left him.."
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you".
"You promise?"
"I'll never leave you, I promise". He says as he starts fading into thin air..
"DAD? DAD?!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!! DADDY!!!!!"
"DAD!!" Alex screams in horror as he wakes up. Luckily, he didn't wake up anyone, not even Lil' Aaron. he then looks up and says "You promised you'll never leave me! you promised...". he then falls asleep.
NOTE: Jacksonville is on the way to Rome, just sayin'...
"Rise and shine." Matt awakes Alexander. "You bright eyed and bushy tailed?" Alexander yawns. "Jacksonville..." he mutters.
"Ready to leave champ?" Matt says.
"Yeah. Mom are you and Aaron staying here?" Alexander asks.
"Yes, I would feel better with Aaron in safety."
Alexander nods, and is about to leave, when all of a sudden everything goes black.
"Yes I would feel better with Alexander in safety." Gloria says.
"What's so wrong about taking him with me to Jacksonville? Gloria, today he asked me if I was going to our leave him."
Gloria gasps. "Well, I guess he can go with you, he hasn't seen his uncle in a while."
He smiles. "I'll go wake him.".... "Rise and shine sport!" Alexander awakes. "You bright eyed and bushy tailed son?"
Alexander yawns. "Yes daddy." His father begins to speak once again
"You ready champ? Ready to go to Jacksonville?"
Then it all stops. Alexander wakes up. "You ready to go to Jacksonville?" Matt says. "Why did he keep saying that?"
Matt looks down. "Gloria, he's awake."
"What's- what's wrong? What happened to me?"
Matt sighs. "You passed out 3 days ago. You've been mumbling things in your sleep. Does Jacksonville sound familiar to you?"
Choice #7
A. Tell them about your continuing thoughts of your father.
B. Hide your thoughts, pretend you have no idea what they're talking about.
Only The Strong Ones. (This name could change but so far...)
summary.
And, an older woman, named Melody.
Alexander starts the episode off by shoting, and missing a walker.
Melody interrupts the scene, by entering from her room. She informs the group that she had found some medical supplies.
Later, Danny, and Gloria, go searching for food. They go to the St. John's farm since Danny used to know them.
They decide to take the cow back to the hotel, since it would be better in the long run.
While they were at the farm, a new man approaches the hotel, seeking a group.
Instantly Danny didn't trust the new man named Mike.
Later that night, Mike begins to flirt with Gloria.
It was successful.
That night, the whole group was being spied on, by a group of 5 bandits.
Alexander hides back in his room until dawn.
Gloria, didn't believe Alex about the bandit's.
She had then found a bullet casing, and believed him.
The bandit's consisted of, an evil dark man, who was also their leader, named the commander.
Three people who didn't like the commander were named, Austin, Zack, and Samuel.
After the bandit's stole the cow, Austin had a plan.
Eventually, they agreed to go together to warn Alex's group.
That morning, Alexander found Danny dead, in his room.
Just then, Alex seen two people coming towards them, so he shot one of them.
While Matt and Austin were running towards the motel, Alexander had shot Austin.
Matt informed them of the bandit group, and Alex, and Melody decided they would come with him, to try and kill the commander.
They decided they would lure tons of walkers into the Commander's tent.
They thought it was a successful plan, and went to stay the night at an abandoned gas station.
When the walkers were lured, the Commander decided to throw Samuel out as bait.
It worked, and they followed them to the gas station.
Once Alexander realized they were being followed, he told everyone to hide behind the counter.
Then Alexander shoots the Commander, and Quincy.
