《Invincible Ones [A Walking Dead Story]》Chapter 4- Wat❓
Advertisement
I went to my cell, change into a navy blue T-shirt and leggings and fall asleep the way a book falls off a shelve: first slowly, then all at once.
I woke up and Beth said that Glenn and Maggie went on a run to get some things for Judith.
I still stayed in bed, I'm so tired for some reason. "Wakey, Wakey, Ember." Daryl says at the doorway. I moan and bury my face into my pillow.
"I'm tirrrreeeeeeeeeed." I complain.
"Hey, it's not like you need your beauty sleep. That doesn't work." Daryl teases.
"Yeah, shush. I'm getting up." I mumble and Daryl leaves.
I get dressed in my usual wear and realize how unkempt my blond hair is. Meh, whatever.
I ate a granola bar for breakfast and everyone was worried about Maggie and Glenn, they haven't came back yet. I was at the fence, waiting for them to arrive.
"Rick!" I shout and I point to the fence where a woman was. She had a red basket in her hand. The woman collapses and Rick doesn't do anything, she was bleeding. Walkers go for her, but someone was gunning them down-it was Carl. I start gunning 'em down too.
"Carl, Ember!" Rick yells as Carl and I rush to open the gates.
We all brought the woman in and Hershel treats her gunshot wound.
"It's full of baby stuff..." I say as I rummage through the basket. I look up at Carl with wide eyes. "Why would she...?" I ask, my voice trailing off.
~a few hours later~
Rick interrogates her and walks out of the cell. "...Merle took Maggie and Glenn. He was with a man named The Governor..." Rick says and things go blurry. No...no. After five years Merle can't out of-the-blue be alive. That's impossible. I collapse to the ground and everything goes dark.

Ember passes out and Daryl and I rush to her. "I got her." I tell Daryl and he nods. I gather her up in my arms and lay her down on her bed.
"My brother is alive?" Daryl says in disbelief.
"Uh, so alive Ember is in shock." Beth mumbles as she rushes to Ember's side.
"That's what the woman said." My dad says.
"Did you catch her name?" Carol asks my dad (Rick).
"She seemed to know who we are." My dad says vaguely. So I'm guessing she didn't tell him her name.
"We need to go get Maggie and Glenn." Hershel says.
"I need to talk to Merle." Daryl concludes and there was a shifty silence.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" My dad asks him.
Daryl's eyes harden. "He's my brother." He finalizes and walks out of the cell block.
"Umm...what about your unconscious little sister?" Beth yells after him and I try to hold in a smirk.
"Don't worry, he'll come around." I say and I sat down next to Beth. She was seventeen. "So, she just passed out? She'll wake up soon, right?" I ask Beth and she nods.
"Yeah, it was just too hard for her to take in. I've been in shock before, but in her case it's just that she's unconscious." Beth clarifies and I nod.

The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.

Fateful
Edgar Vogel was a 30 year old underemployed veteran who dropped out of college. His life was comfortable but all ambition was lost. His plans, born of depression and anxiety, were to simply live out his life of mediocrity and enjoy what little he could. That all changed, all it takes is something small to change fate, in his case ice. Reborn into a primitive but fantastical world, full of magic and monsters, he may make something of himself. Oh and there's a massive war against werewolf hordes on the mainland. Edgar, now Jon, has a second chance at life. His previous life was reduced to fragments of technical knowledge that come to him in the form of visions. His new home, the Northern Isles, is far removed from the conflict of the mainland for now as he lives in the quiet frontier village of Terra. His new family believes that fate can be changed and destiny overruled but he has no idea. Whether that's true or not, being told by a crazy old lady that his fate starts with him sitting by a rock in the middle of a field seems wrong, but who knows? Maybe she's right but what's the bit about 'await the bite' supposed to mean? Jon soon learns and his life changes forever. What can a young boy who's gained wolven-blood do? Will he be a monster or will he find salvation? Jon was bitten. ********************************************************************************** Welcome to the Northern Isles. My first story posted on here! I already have the outline of the first couple of books planned out and will be posting a new chapter every Tuesday and Friday. The story will be dark at times but I intend to keep things fairly light when I can. I'm aiming for a world that isn't full of sunshine and rainbows but isn't as bleak as it could be. Focusing on friendship, camaraderie, sh*t talking, and adventure.

Flawsome
>> Featured Staff Pick on Tapas.io! “Imagine someone who likes you so much, they make you like yourself.” Looking at sixteen-year-old Neo Favre, there isn't anything to point out that would explain him being heavily bullied. He has loving parents, a healthy amount of sibling rivalry to overcome every day. He can be funny, he is nice, he isn't an annoying know-it-all nerd. He's just like any other teenager attending Haven Highschool. Except one thing; Neo suffers from OCD, and his irky habits are solely the reason for his classmates to make fun of him. But as much as he tries to hide his annoying habits of counting literally everything, entering a class without touching the floor right in front of the first desk, tapping light button's to the beat of "we will rock you" and any other small tic, his fellow students know, and they use it to bully him endlessly. Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.

The Doormat Villainess – Adrianne
A villainess is a character who has always been diametrically opposed to the heroine of a romance drama. What makes a person a good villainess? The fact that she's unabashedly beautiful and charismatic, yet also rotten inside? The fact that she's incredibly loathsome, greedy, and selfish? That she's reasonably strong enough to be a hurdle, yet ultimately powerless in the face of a determined heroine? That despite all these character flaws, a Villainess's greatest virtue is unwilling to give up until the last of their breath, in pursuit of her personal desire? If those are the hallmark of a successful Villainess. Then, I might be the wrong person to play that role. Also on Scribblehub (Profile)
