Prologue

Beth Greene knew her life was over the minute she watched hordes of walkers flood into her childhood home, watched them destroy everything they touched. An errant thought crossed her mind that it was like the plagues she learned about in Sunday school, but no more Sunday school now, a shrill crazed laugh escaped her, "I never really liked it anyway" she muttered to herself. "BLONDIE!" a male voice barked, breaking her out of her thoughts "get your ass on the bike now or your walker food". Beth looked up at the commanding voice, surprised to see that man from Rick's group. Why did he care was all she had time to think before a strong hand grabbed her arm hard enough to bruise, and yanked her behind him on the bike, "Hold on girl" he muttered, Beth tentatively wrapped her arms around his stomach, and the bike roared off down the dirt road. No, Beth thought as they passed the walkers and screaming chaos into the silent unknown, maybe this is the moment.
