Carl sits on the ground with his sword in hand looking u watches as the walkers press their hanging skin against the wall trying to get to him. He laughs as he sits their passing his sword from one hand to another.
CARL: If only they could feel my metal going through their skin.
Carl looks up while getting to his feet, walking slowly to the zombies that lurk him. He stares at each and every one of them laughing as he knows they cant get to him. He slowly paces backwards trying to remember the events that led to him being where he is: Leaving the group, having an argument with Cindi, Cindi leaving, Carl killing the family and he watches as he knows he has very little to live for and its best for him to do what he wants until he is finished with.

(February 2nd, 2019)
Lilia sits on the couch in the cabin wondering about how they will cope with only the three of them left since penelope and Donna left them. She watches as Nevra practises her aim outside using an old archery board that they found under one of the beds, carrying onto think about the life that they may have now.
Laura walks in seeing that Lilia is quite mopey.
LAURA: Where's Nevra?
LILIA: Out there, shooting, practising as we all need to be strong now. No weaklings.
LAURA: I agree but we need to find a better place that this. Not here, its way too open for us to live here much longer. We are going to get ambushed by either people or the walkers.
LILIA: Lets make sure that she's capable to fight before we leave this place because she needs to be strong.
--CUT TO--
Nevra watches as her hand shakes with the gun in hand. She tries to aim with it making sure that her arm doesn't shake anymore. Breathing in and out, she calms herself down shooting the gun which barely hits the archery board. Looking down, she lines up her gun again shooting it once more which hits the blue ring of the archery board.
Getting annoyed at herself she lowers the gun thinking to herself that she can't do it. She then looks back at Lilia who she can see through the glass. Lilia nods back knowing that Nevra can do it and that she just has to believe in herself.
NEVRA: I can do this. I can do this..
Nevra lines her gun up again closing her one eye, breathing in and out quite slowly. Behind her she doesnt notice the sound of walkers growling as they come from behind her just as she shoots once more hitting the red.
NEVRA: Good enough i guess!
Nevra gets quite pleased with herself but then her joy goes to fear as she hears the zombies that are behind her. Whipping round, she looks at the 4 zombies that stalk her. She starts to scream alerting the others. Nevra grabs her gun shooting once more hitting the zombie's chest but it doesnt make a difference as one pulls her down to the ground
NEVRA: Laura! Lilia!
Nevra frantically panics as she watches the zombie jump on her almost trying to grab her as she uses her feet pushing it off quickly, getting to her feet. Nevra is once again grabbed by a zombie which pins her to the ground. Laura grabs a gun that she has shooting one of the zombies but she realises that she has no more ammunition left in the gun.
LAURA: Shit!
Laura runs out of the cabin seeing that the zombies are overpowering Nevra. Laura looks around trying to find something that she can use to save Nevra from the zombies that are trying to get at her.
: : :SCENE 3: : :
Heather and Quinn stand in'front of the group at the mansion knowing that they need to sort themselves out so that they can live further into the apocalypse. There isnt much chatter between the members of the group even though many are unhappy at the leadership that Heather has taken up on herself.
QUINN: Listen up! Myself and Heather have been discussing how we run things here. Its going to be harder to get supplies the further we go along in this place and honestly we need to start making provisions.
WOLF: In what way, starving ourselves?
HEATHER: No by surviving properly. Not like pigs who just eat when we want to.
COREY: So wait your restricting us from eating? In the place I FOUND. This is a joke
CLARISSA: Corey calm down
Clarissa puts his arm around Corey who is trying to calm down from his outburst. Clarissa is also annoyed as she starts to feel that this is being a dictatorship but decides not to say something.
QUINN: We need to fix this place up. Clear the zombies round the forest. That sort of thing. But Corey you will be included in these jobs. You have to be. Everyone must pull their weight. So we decided every couple of days, a group will go out there. Clear out some of the dead. Make it safer out there.
COREY: Seriously this is a JOKE!. I look after my mother and still have to do this crap. You guys a joke
Corey looks at the group storming out of the room, stomping his feet upstairs clearing annoyed and angry at the decision.
HEATHER: Anyone got preferences of what to do?
JOANNAH: I'll help clearing the dead. But wait what we gonna do about the fences around this place. They aint the best due to zombies breaking parts of the fence. Some places have just been put up for temporary purposes.
ROVER: You do have a point, Jo. There's that one part right at the back. Its never been a problem but it could be in the near future.
Heather nods at this trying to think over their possible solutions about this.
DAVID: You really have everything planned don't you?
Heather walks over hugging david embracing his presence for a few seconds, making her reminisce about what she has missed since she has been gone. She pulls back looking straight into her eyes.
HEATHER: You really do know me dont you?
Heather chuckles leaving the rest of the group to do their own thing as the two of them stay in contact with each other.
: : :SCENE 4: : : :
Alvaro's group looks around from their camp realising the lack of danger round the hillier parts. Alvaro smiles as their is a lack of zombies and the dead in general. The others also notice this and they all look at each other.
JUDITH: So what's the next step for us?
GREG: We need to find somewhere. It's getting colder on the nights. Further we get up these hilly parts, the colder it's going to get. We need to find somewhere to stay.
LYNN: Yea we could think about that but well, he's missing.
Lynn points to where Samuel was just standing. The 6 of them watch seeing that Samuel isn't there. Greg starts to stress knowing that him walking off could get him killed.
GREG: Shit! Where the fuck is he?
ALEXA: He'll turn up. He always does! I give it 10 minutes and he will be back.
JUDITH: Or he could be in serious trouble we have to go. Go find him.
KEISHA: Guys we need to stick together but lets go.
The 6 of them start spreading out with several of them going into the fields next to the road checking if he's anywhere near them. The 6 of them walk in a line as they start coming upto farms.
ALVARO: Guys he can't have gone far i assure you.
In the close distance a shotgun is fired. The shotgun is followed by a young man's scream. The group look at each other, hearing the shot presuming its Samuel
LYNN: Shit! We have to move.
Alvaro, Greg and Alexa take out their guns as they follow the screams that lead up to a small farm a couple of 100 metres away from them. Alvaro leads the group which follow into a courtyard.
An older man that looks around Judith's age, watch the group as he tends to Samuel's leg wound that was caused from the shotgun.
LYNN: Oh god.
The group runs over pushing the man onto his bum immediately applying pressure to Samuel's wounds. Alvaro stands up pointing a gun at the man.
JACKSON: Please don't. I didn't realise he was human. I thought he was one of the dead.
ALVARO: Dont fucking joke with me. You better help him.
JACKSON: Its me alone. I have food. Please come with me. Grab him. I have supplies to help his leg.
Alvaro nods at the group as they pick him up, following Jackson into his farm house.
: : :SCENE 5: : :
Donna and Penelope watch on as they travel up north with their car. Donna knows that she has to do what she has to do, to try and find her sister.
PENELOPE: Where we heading to then because i don't know? Your just directing me.
DONNA: Just leave it. I just want to find Joannah.
PENELOPE: But what if?...
DONNA: What if what?
Donna rolls her eyes staring at Penelope in anger. Penelope looks down knowing what she just said is wrong but it had to be said. She carries on driving knowing that its going to be hard to talk to each other as Donna is so adamant on what she has to do.
--CUT TO--
Joannah stands outside the mansion watching the sun go down hoping for something to happen with Donna. She waits anxiously hoping that she will come. Clarissa stands behind her, trying to keep quiet realising what she is doing.
Joannah looks up to the sky, the orange, yellow and red from the sunset mesmerises her, giving her some sort of hope.
CLARISSA: Hey, Joannah. Its getting late, best be getting inside.
JOANNAH: Just give me a minute ok?
CLARISSA: Whatever you want.
Clarissa steps back sitting on the steps waiting for Joannah to come inside which takes a few moments before she turns around in a forced smile
: : :SCENE 6: : :
(February 9th, 2019)
Heather is concerned about how the terms are with her and David and the fact that she is hiding something very important from him. She looks down hearing David walking down the hall getting nearer to her bedroom that she sleeps in with.
David walks down the hall nervous about what Heather is going to say to him after they have had some awkward moments through the weeks Heather has been living there. David goes to the door seeing that Heather is waiting for him.
HEATHER: I was wondering when you was going to turn up.
DAVID: Well i am expecting you to break up with me
Heather rolls her eyes walking up to him whispering in his ear.
HEATHER (Whisper): Its not negative. I have something to tell you
Heather steps back to the bed sitting down breathing slowly.
DAVID: What do you want to tell me?
HEATHER: Shut the door and i will.
David closes the door quietly smiling at Heather while he does. David gets a little excited about the news which makes him quite jumpy. He then walks over sitting on the bed next to her.
DAVID; Whats this news then?
HEATHER: Is it better if i tell you or show you?
DAVID: What do you mean?
David smiles as Heather goes back a little unbuttoning her top, until her stomach is exposed. Heather smiles at it as she hugs her stomach.
DAVID: Wait, you're not?
Heather nods making David uncomfortable. Heather is surprised by his reaction thinking that he would be happy for her whereas in reality, he seems scared in a sense.
DAVID: But how?
HEATHER: I don't know, it was definitely you though. I'm 3 months.
David is at a loss for words getting up from the bed stepping back from Heather.
DAVID: You can't be.
David runs out of the room trying to contain everything that's just been said to him but he struggles to. Heather looks down upset at David's reaction to the situation. She starts to tear up knowing if David will ever be ok with her being pregnant
: : :SCENE 7: : :
Samuel looks at his wounds that have started to heal up. He tries to sit up on his bed but struggles due to the pain that he has been feeling due to the wounds. He looks up to see Greg walking in smiling.
GREG: You want me to help you?
Samuel shakes his head as he works himself up into a sitting position holding onto the rail that's beside him.
SAMUEL: Whats up with you?
GREG: Nothing, i was wondering how is your leg?
SAMUEL: Well, look at it. Its full of small balls of whatever metal it is in my leg. Well they went into my leg anyways. It's just taking ages to heal. When it is i will be ok.
GREG: Good, it's how we have been here for a week. Its seems like we have been here no time.
SAMUEL: What's happening with the drama with the guy thats shot me anyway.
Greg sits on the bed slightly sniggering at his comment.
GREG: Well we are all ok with it but 1 person.
SAMUEL: You're talking about Alexa? Cause if so, that's her all over. From the start she's been like it. Not trusting. After she lost the guy that she was sleeping at the studio, she's been very skeptical with people.
GREG: I get it. She needs time to fit in with people. Its normal i guess.
Samuel shrugs his shoulders staying in the same position as the pain from his legs is starting to go away since he had some pain medication several hours earliar. Greg smiles at Sam as he starts to leave the room, leaving Sam on his own.
: : :SCENE 8: : :
David is just cooking some food for the group. He looks around seeing no one but himself in the kitchen which allows him to self-emote. He loops down knowing that he made a mistake by acting like he did to Heather after hearing the news. Stopping himself, he turns around looking down knowing that he needs to find her to apoligise. As he thinks about this he sees Heather walk in to get a drink. David smiles at her as he offers her a hug.
DAVID: I am so sorry. I shouldn't have acted in that way. I can't wait to have a child with you.
HEATHER: You really mean that??
Heather walks closer to David wrapping her arms around him, knowing that the baby will bring them even closer together than they have been already.
HEATHER: Just to clarify, this is your baby. You do know that right?
DAVID: I believe you. You just need to trust that i believe you.
HEATHER: I just hope everything goes well with the baby. Like with the apocalypse and everything. I don't want the baby to die.
DAVID: He or she won't. The baby, they have us. We are two military personnel and if something does happen. It won't happen without a fight. Do you understand me?
Heather nods slowly as she watches the food that David was cooking, starting to overspill. Heather looks worried at it knowing it could burn someone.
HEATHER: You may want to turn the food off. Its going over the side a little.
David turns around turning the gas off of the cooker as Heather leans against one of the sides. She laughs at David who turns around smiling with her.
HEATHER: Let's take that into the others. Hopefully they will be fine with the little burnt bits.
DAVID: What burnt bits?
Heather laughs out loud walking out of the kitchen leaving David to finish off the food ready for the group.
: : :SCENE 9: : :
(1 week before)
Nevra tries to use her legs to push the zombie that pins her down. She knows she has to do something before she gets killed. She looks in the eyes of te zombie for a second. Seeing nothing, no soul nothing. The zombie keeps lunging to attack her, trying to bite her face.
Laura looks back to Lilia who is searching for a knife inside the cabin. Laura gets increasingly nervous as Lilia seems to be taking a while.
LAURA: What the fuck Lilia? Hurry the fuck up.
Laura sees that shes not finding anything making her put it in her own hands looking out seeing Nevra is now dodging three zombies at the same time.
NEVRA: HELP!!!
Laura tries to find something to use to attack the zombies. Her heart starts to pound even more as she struggles to find anything to help. Lilia finally finds something looking proud of herself as she finds it. She grabs the knife she finds running out to see Laura with a broken chair leg.
LAURA: Good find! Took you ages though.
LILIA: Lets just help her.
The two of them run over to Nevra who is severely getting attacked by the zombies.
NEVRA: Laura, Lilia. I love you both. Please stay safe.
LAURA: You're not gonna die. I swear we are here.
Laura is the first to attack one of the zombies hitting it round the head with the chair leg while Lilia kills the two other zombies with a knife to the head.
Nevra looks up to see Laura and Lilia smiling at her holding their bloodied weapons. She looks in relief as the two of them offer Nevra a hand to get up.
LAURA: You bitten?
NEVRA: I don't think so
LILIA: Good. We'll check when we clean you up because your covered in the shit.
The three of the girls walk back to the cabin with Nevra obviously shaken up due to the fiasco. Zooming in onto Nevra's leg, a scratch can be seen on her ankle. Small but distinctive.
