Pilot 6/10

Cody tended to Dani's wounds. "We're going to get answers, right?" She looked over at the guy, he was tied up to a chair. "If not I will feed him to the walkers." He turned to look at him.

He opened his eyes. "He's awake." Dani pointed at him, the guy looked around.

Cody went over to him and grabbed a bucket full of water, he dumped it on the guy which caused him to cough. "You're going to answer some questions."

"Like hell I am." He snickered at Cody. He clenched his fists and punched him. "I'm not messing around, where is Rose?"

"Hayden took her." He laughed and spat on Cody's shirt, looking up at Cody. "You better pray that Hayden doesn't kill her."

Cody looked at Dani and then at him. "What's your name?" Cody asked and the guy looked at him, a smile formed on his face. "Zach."

"Well, Zack— Zach. Looks like you're going to lose a finger or two today." Cody lowered the blade on his middle finger. "WAIT NO!" Zach screamed and Cody cut it off, watching the finger fall on the ground. Blood gushed out, Zach was screaming in pain which definitely attracted walkers.

"Just answer the fucking questions or these blades will be the last thing you will see." Cody grabbed Zach by the hair. "The poison we use is normal poison— I-I was just bluffing; You just have to make an antidote! Rose is at an old warehouse in the city. I don't know what Hayden has in stock for her but it isn't good. J-Just don't kill me! I'm not ready to die yet!" Zach shut his eyes and ducked his head down.

"Does your group carry antidotes?" Cody spoke calmly. "Yes, we do. I didn't cause they knew I would fuck up!" Zach opened his eyes, looking at Cody with a scared face.

He started to tend to Zach's wounds. "You worked for the wrong people. Even in the middle of the apocalypse, you sure aren't the brightest…" Cody muttered and cut the ropes. "You're going to come with us though. Try anything silly and you will meet my blade head on as promised." Cody went over to Dani.

"T-Thank you." Zach stood up and looked around. "Where are we though?"

"We're at an old cabin in the forest. We figured it would be the best place to interrogate you." Dani answered. "You're going to show us the way, then we will look for Annabelle." Cody answered and Zach nodded.

Dani was a bit upset knowing Annabelle was their second priority but she respected it, the likelihood of Annabelle surviving is high right now and Rose is at risk.

Annabelle looked at Stalker and Andrew. "Why did you guys even save me?" She looked at the two. "At the beginning we were sent here to try and figure out why the virus was spreading in Russia since it started here in America. We wanted to save people but sadly we couldn't. Now we want to help others, in the past 3 years we haven't lost anyone." Stalker looked at Annabelle and gave her a gentle smile.

Andrew nudged Stalker. "And Stalker is gay—" He smirked, Stalker rolled his eyes. "Bisexual, not gay."

"That's cool." Annabelle smiled and looked around. "How far are we from this 'place' that you mentioned, Stalker?" She looked at him.

"Our campsite isn't that far, we got humans and demis!" Andrew looked at her and smiled, Annabelle hasn't heard of demis in a while. If you don't know what demis are, they are human-animal hybrids that have powers based on their animal.

Andrew went over to an old building and knocked on the large metal doors. "We're back!" He yelled and a few seconds later, the door opened. "Welcome back Andrew, Stalker. I see we have a new guest?" The guy was a deer demi. He had antlers and a nose that assembled a deer's nose.

"The names Jug, new one." He smiled, Jug held a shotgun and he looked to be around 14-15. "Nice to meet you…" Annabelle muttered. Inside the building were campfires, tents and plenty of other things. Of course the floor was concrete.

"YOU'RE BACK." A little voice was heard and a girl with cat ears and a cat tail came running and jumped, hugging Andrew. "Hey Alice." Andrew smiled and patted her, Alice gave him a smile and then frowned. "Mom's been sleeping all day and I don't know why!" Alice complained.

Andrew's eyes widened and he picked Alice up. "Where's mom?" He tried not to cry, knowing what happened. Alice was 7 so she didn't get the concept of death amid the end of the world.

Alice pointed over to a tent, Andrew went over and opened the tent. Praying that his lover will be okay.

He unzipped the tent and looked inside, he put Alice down and looked at Stalker. "Stalker, keep watch on Alice… please." Andrew looked at him and Stalker nodded silently and then looked at Alice. "Hey Alice, let's get a breather outside!" Stalker patted his shoulder and Alice ran over, she turned into a cat and jumped on his shoulder. "Okay, okay!" She smiled and Stalker walked outside.

Before Jug shut the gates, Stalker looked at Annabelle and. "Welcome to the community." He spoke and Jug shut the doors.

Andrew carried his lover's body and went to the back exit so that Alice wouldn't see, blood dribbled down her head. Annabelle realized she was gone, Andrew put her down before reanimation. Sorrow surrounded her gut and she felt sick.

"Hey. Are you okay?" A girl with white hair and purple eyes asked, Annabelle looked at her. "Yeah…" she leaned over, thinking she was about to hurl.

"The names Emmy. You can come with me. I'll make sure you fit in nicely." She smiled, next to her was a small 4'3 kid. "Oh and this is my son Ted. He is half bear." Emmy smiled and patted Ted.

"Ted protect mom!" Ted roared and had his fists up, ready to attack Annabelle, Emmy giggled and picked up Ted. "She isn't an enemy." She patted Ted and he shut both of his eyes and then opened them. "Okay!"

Annabelle smiled, she knew she could fit in. But she was missing something. "I need to go and find my sister, and my friend. They went hunting." She spoke up.

"You will once you rest." Emmy smiled. "Ease up, they will be okay. I'll make sure Stalker and Andrew find them!"

"Ted will come!" Ted spoke. "No, Ted will not go." Emmy squished Ted's cheeks and Ted complained. "Fine! Fine! Ted will not go!" He spoke and pouted.

"Just rest, okay?" Emmy smiled and Annabelle nodded.

Cody, Dani and Zach reached the location. "There's two guards at the front. We'll go through there."

Cody pulled out his pistol. "Ready?"

Dani nodded and aimed her bow, Cody slid down the hill they were on and fired.
