Hey guys I know I said there was only eight chapters left but I can't think of anything interesting to write so this will be the last chapter and then I will be taking a break from the walking dead to carry on another fanfic that I left half done and then I will be taking a break from writing but I will return so don't worry...I will leave a preview for the next walking dead story at the end also there will be an epilogue thank you all so much for everything and hope you like the way I ended it.
As the day went on food was getting harder and harder to find...Nick and Andrew would go out and hunt for animals to eat they tasted awful but we have to eat something to keep us all alive.
One day we decided to leave to find a town or city to find more food hopefully...I was holding Noelle and she was fast asleep.
Unlike Katilin she was a quiet baby only cried when she needed or wanted something where as with she cried all the time but Christa and Omid were so good in taking care of her and her constant crying...they will make amazing parents to Katilin but they will as she get's older remind her of her real parents. Respecting Rebecca's wishes they will say that Alvin is her real father and perhaps when she's older and understands more tell her about Carver.
I was getting tired carrying a baby was difficult plus I was carrying things we might need for her. It was getting dark and we were thinking of setting up camp when we heard a bunch of load moaning.
We spun around to see walkers coming towards us...without hesitating we all started to run Luke wanted to pick me up but I resisted by giving him a death glare I could run by myself quite well with a baby.
We kept running until we came to a dead end there was a huge wall of rock in front of us and we could hear the sound of rushing water behind it.
Collie and Sam curled at my feet as we watched the walkers coming closer and closer we knew it was all over...we were going to die.
That brought tears to my eyes as I looked down at a wide brown eyed little girl who hadn't and never will experience life.
We all slid down the rock wall till we sat on the ground, Luke wrapped his arms around me and Noelle. I could feel his arms tightening around me, I closed my eyes tight not wanting to watch the inevitable.
As the minutes ticked away I didn't hear the moaning anymore...infact I haven't heard a scream from anyone. I dared to open my eyes and I swear I couldn't believe what I saw.
There was a green mist and as it landed on the walkers they stopped in their tracks and started to shake.
I nudged Luke with my shoulder as his eyes were closed as well and watched as his eyes open and watched as confusion crossed his features aswell.
"Hey guy's look what happening to those lurkers" Luke said calling out to the others.
Everyone opened their eyes and saw what was happening to the walkers and we all watched in confusion.
Then as the green mist hit the ground and disappeared all the walkers collapsed to the floor and looked so...unmoving.
After a few minutes Luke got up and walked over to them "what?!, Luke are you nuts?, what if they are not ya know?" I called after him.
Luke got out his machete and had it ready if it attacked him, but as he got closer they didn't move or make a noise. He then used the tip of his machete and nudged one of them but it didn't move.
We all got up and walked over to them and started nudging them and were surprised and happy that they were gone and weren't coming back.
"Is the apocalypse over?" asked Beca.
"I don't know, but this is real weird whatever that mist was it killed them" Shel said completely confused.
"Let's go and see if the nearest town has the same thing and see what the hell is going on" Andrew said and we all nodded and walked past the still walkers with no trouble at all.
When we got to the next town there was a United States Air Force helicopter. Out of the helicopter came out an old guy in a suit and another old guy in a lab coat.
We walked over to them and they noticed us as we reached them.
"Ahh good survivors" The old guy in the suit said.
"Yeah and who are you?" Omid asked frowning.
"I'm General Ted Dawson in charge of the United States Air force, I have been working with the top scientists in the world to combat this outbreak and we have finally come up with the formula for it...has it worked?" the general asked raising an eyebrow.
"What those things that have been roaming around the last couple of years?, yes we were cornered by a crowd of them and they were stopped just before we got the the chomp" I said.
"Good, fantastic I knew it would work!" the guy in the lab coat shouted.
We looked at him in confusion and then he introduced himself "oh where are my manners?, I'm Professor Edward Shelton I was the head scientist in the creation of this formula I would explain but it's terrible complicated."
"Well can you just say what the hell happened to them?" Andrew asked.
"The formula has some very deadly chemicals in it to combat the disease, it took us a long time to find the right combination...long story short we got hold of one of them that was already dead and studied it and we finally came up with the formula to end this epidemic" the Professor explained.
"That's great an all but what does the United States Airforce got to do with this?" Christa asked.
"Well once the formula was creates we had to get it over all infected areas so we adapted to planes and helicopters to have a big exhaust to that would hold this formula and spread it. This is extremely harmless to humans and anything living but deadly to the zombies" the General said.
"Do you know what started it?" I asked needing closer for Lee and my parents.
The General and the Professor looked grim and then the Professor said "it was unfortunately caused by an experiment gone wrong...we were trying to develop a chemical to make people live forever...but it was accidentally realized to Southern America when it was nowhere near completion and made people become zombies through their brain."
"So my family, friends and people I loved where just victims of a dum experiment!?, how could you have been so god damn careless because of you my family is dead!" I screeched at him.
Luke wrapped his arms tight around me as I cried on uncontrollably. "Half the people that live in Southern America or more were turned for no reason this could have been prevented but instead we have gone through hell watching our loved ones stop being humans" Luke said.
"Yes, and we are all very, very sorry we know that it probably doesn't matter and won't make a difference, but we have called for international help to help rebuild everything that has been destroyed and a memorial will be made to remember the people who didn't make it...there will be a ceremony and a day of mourning every year on the day it started and the day it stopped" the Genreal said.
He was right sorry didn't cut it but Southern America is going to be rebuild and everyone who didn't make it will have two days a year to be remembered by the whole nation...
Epilogue
Five years later...
"Mummy!" Noelle shouted running into the kitchen with her pink and white stuffed lamb.
"Yeah baby, what wrong?" I called back as I was making lunch in the kitchen.
Noelle came and stood next to me, she looked a lot like me. She had curly black hair, my colour eyes, my skin colour and my build but everything else was Luke. In fact she looked like both of us.
"When's daddy home?" Noelle asked.
Noelle was a daddy's girl big time...she had Luke wrapped around her little finger and he doted on her completely and he has a hard time saying no to her. You can physically see him trying to and it's harder when she turns on her puppy dog eyes and pouts.
"Soon baby, daddy and uncle Nick are very busy with the club at the moment" I responded.
Luke and Nick had another go at running their own boxing club and it was an instant success which got more people to move to Georgia...however it meant he had to work longer and that was a shame but he was here always in time for dinner and for Noelle's bedtime.
Then the door opened and Luke shouting "I'm home!."
Noelle gasped and smiled, and ran towards Luke as he came round the stairs and faced the kitchen.
"Daddy!" she shouted and jumped into his waiting arms.
Luke kissed her and hugged her tightly "hey Elle you ok?, you been a good girl for mummy?" he said as he carried her into the kitchen.
We lived in a very large family home. As you come in there is large living room, with a big corner sofa and one of those large chairs that you can swivel in. We had light wood on the floor, the kitchen was a nice big family kitchen with an island and a dinning table with chairs.
Then as you go up the corner stairs you have a spare bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and en suite, a bathroom, mine and Luke's bedroom again with a walk in wardrobe and en suite then there is Noelle's room which also has a walk in wardrobe and en suite.
Outside we had a nice, large garden perfect for a growing five year old, there was a large pool with a diving board and slide. There was an eating area with a grill and comfortable sitting area, then further up in the corner on the other side was a mini playground for Noelle with a climbing frame, seesaw, swing, slide and sandpit.
After the apocalypse was stopped we had international help from loads of countries, towns and cities were rebuilt reasonably fast. The reason me, Luke and Noelle were able to live here rent free and no mortgage was because we were on of the first few survivors found and as compensation for what happened to our loved ones we got nice houses. Only people that want to move here have to pay rent or mortgage if they have a place that does.
Also Sam and Collie live with us...in the first place Sarah wanted to have them but Carlos said no because he didn't want to end up looking after them...however it wasn't long till Collie got pregnant and gave birth to six beautiful pups.
She had three boys and three girls...and after much begging and persuading from Shel, Sarah and Beca Carlos gave in and let them have one of the puppies. The chose one of the boys and named him Harvey. Carlos and Shel had gotten married last year, and Shel has recently given birth to a baby boy called Jona. Beca has been doing well in school and so has Sarah where as in the begging Beca was a bully towards Sarah and now they are best friends.
Carlos has started his own practice and Shel work's with him as his assistant and secretary...
Christa, Omid and Katilin have been acting like a real family...Katilin is about to turn six and both Omid and Christa are dreading her going to school because of the clothes and stuff they will need to buy...
Katilin calls Christa and Omid mummy and daddy but in about six or seven years time they will explain everything to her...and also Christa got pregnant and had a baby girl called Jamila and Katilin adores her and is always showing her off when they are out in public.
They have also adopted one of the puppies they chose a girl and called her Lilly...well manily Katilin named her as she was an early birthday present for her.
Omid and Christa are back in the police force and are partners at work much to Christa's annoyance.
Nick and Alpha have worked out their differences and are now living together and are currently engaged and Alpha is five months pregnant with a twin boy and girl. They have agreed to call the boy Pete after Nick's uncle and call the girl Theodora...Nick got one of the girl puppies and gave her to Alpha as she always wanted one...they named her Daisy as that was the other name option that they wanted to call Theodora.
Nick co-owns, Box-A-Rema with Luke and Alpha is running her own weapon school where people go to learn how to use a weapon.
Andrew had started his own bar and has been doing very well, he met his girlfriend Amy who was working there to help provide for her and her son Oliver. Oliver adores Andrew and has started to call him daddy, I was there the frist time he said it and I could see tears in Andrew's eyes.
Andrew treats him like he was his own son, Amy's ex-boyfriend the father of Oliver had been violent towards her while she was pregnant and one night Amy took Oliver to the police and told them everything and he was arrested and put in prison for a long time with a restraining order for when he come's out...she says she had never felt so save for her and her son than she has with Andrew.
Oliver was two years old yesterday and as a birthday present the gave him one of our puppies, a boy and he called him Tuker.
Kim went back to school and finished her senior year and graduated, she then went on to college to become an English teacher, she and Alpha have patched up their friendship and has accepted that Nick is good enough for Alpha and is looking forward to becoming an aunty.
She is in her first year of school and is living with her Boyfriend Mat who is ten years older but cares for her very much and he has a eight year old daughter Lila and Kim has taken her on as her own and Lila adores her just as much...
Kim is one month pregnant but intends to stay at work until her due date as this was what she wanted to do and felt well enough to work.
They took the last female puppy from the litter and called her Jenna...Mat works as a mechanic and run's his own business.
And lastly Carter, Sarayhtah and Dante. Dante has come out of her shell more and is not that weird little girl she was before now you can have a proper conversation with her and she not freak out.
Sarayhtah has gotten better with her attitude towards people and is actually a very funny and friendly person she works as a nurse in the local hospital along with Carter and they are finally happy as they were before and decided to take the last puppy and name him Mitch.
Dante adores him and I see her walking him in the local park...
Carter and Sarayhath are trying to have another baby so Dante won't be alone all the time even though she has a puppy it would be nice for her to have some more human interactions.
So everyone is happy for once since the epidemic started...I'm currentl not working or studying as I wanted to raise Noelle without the stress of papers or homework and Luke make's more than enough to provide for us, maybe when Noelle starts school then I will start training for something but untill then we are happy...
Twice a year we hold a party to celebrate the life's that were lost...I know it's sad that they are no longer here but we have to focus on the good things and not the bad things anymore we all have a bright and positive future ahead of us.
I know I shouldn't say this but I'm kinda glad the the apocalypse happened because I met Luke and Lee two amazing men who I love in my own two ways...I know that if my parents were still alive they would have loved them both I think about them everyday.
I never believed that things happened for a reason but after this...I do.
It was getting late and Noelle just had a bath and I had just put her to bed, Luke came in to say goodnight and we both looked down at the beautiful little angel that had come into a world of chaos with chance of survival slim but against all odds she was here and safe...with a little brother on the way. My life is perfect and I wouldn't have it any other way...
The End
Hope you liked the way I explained things xx
