The Trotting Dead

LORI'S P.O.V

After the freeway and Atlanta bombing, Shane, me, Carl, Ed, Carol, and Sophia drove away from the roadblock. Shane was toying around with a C.B until we heard something.

"Hello... can anyone hear my voice?"

"This is Shane Walsh, speaking to messenger unknown, please respond."

"I hear you! Shane, my name's Amy. We have a camp set up off the highway, the rock quarry." Amy said.

"We'll be there in 10 minutes, repeat, 10 minutes."

TWILIGHT'S P.O.V

We were setting up a quarantine zone in Ponyville with walls set up to keep the dead out. After Rarity and Fluttershy managed to escort Blueblood in one piece, they joined in on fortifying the walls with us. After a few days, the walls were finished. Not fences, a big, concrete and metal wall all around Ponyville.  We went to Canterlot to try to find some survivors.

"I doubt there's anypony left." Red said.

"Me too, but we gotta look." I said.

Now that most of Canterlot was evacuated, we had less hassle telling the Infected from the ponies. Me and Red were out looking around when we saw a construction site filled with food and building materials.

"You get food, I get building materials, as much as you can carry." Red said.

We grabbed as much food and construction materials as we could and headed back. We saw some Infected come by us and near a house. I went inside and saw about 5 of them. I then snuck out and used a spell to destroy the house. Red looked at me confused.

"There was 5 of them. I couldn't take them all on." I said.

Red nodded and we headed back into the walls. We dropped the heavy bags off and we went to rest.

*****'S P.O.V

I was with T-Dog organizing the food when 2 cars came by.

"Is that them?" Amy asked.

Then, 6 people came out, counting 2 children.

"Who are you?" Jim asked.

"I'm Shane. This is Lori, Carl, Ed, Carol, and Sophia. You must be Amy." Shane said pointing at Amy.

"Yeah." She said.

Dale came out.

"These are the people you contacted?" Dale asked.

"Yeah. That's them." Andrea said with him.

"Well, I'm Glenn. This is T-Dog, Jaqui, Morales, Jim, Miranda, Eliza, and Louis." I said.

"Hope you like it here." Dale said as he went back into his R.V.

RED'S P.O.V

I was laying my head down on my bed when I saw something outside. I got up and grabbed my knife. I opened the door and saw Twilight with Spike.

"Hey. What is it?" I asked.

"It's Celestia. She called us." Twilight said to me.

We went and saw her in Twilight's castle with Luna at standby.

"You said you wanted us?" Twilight asked.

"Yes. We have a problem." Celestia said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I think one of us is infected."

"What? Who?" I asked.

"Her name's Bon Bon. Whenever we went to her home, she never answered the doors. Her marefriend said that she was outside the walls on a run where all the other ponies were killed." Celestia said.

"I'll talk to her." Twilight said.

"Be safe." I said to her.

SHANE'S P.O.V

We were settling in with the camp when I asked about the city.

"Don't go there, man. It's a war zone, Geeks all over." Glenn said.

"Geeks? That's what you call 'em?" I asked.

"He does. We call them Walkers." Dale said.

"Sounds like a good name. Walkers... I like it." I said.

I looked at Ed, who was telling Carol to get in their tent. I looked at Ed, who looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"What's up with him?" I asked.

"I don't know. He's just like that." Andrea said.

"We should keep an eye on him, though." T-Dog said.

We kept planning when the leaves rustled. I grabbed my shotgun and took my aim.

"Come on out!" I said.

TWILIGHT'S P.O.V

I was trotting to Bon Bon's when Lyra, her marefriend, stopped me.

"Look, I know I shoot my mouth off sometimes, but if she's bitten, tell me. Okay?" She asked.

"Of course." I said.

I knocked and waited. After she didn't respond, I opened the door. I trotted upstairs and went into her room.

"Bon Bon? It's me, Twilight! We're worried about you. You know, after the run..." I said.

I was about to leave when I saw a figure limp out of the closet. It looked at me with white, empty eyes.

It was Bon Bon.

When she walked out, I saw a dark red bite on her hindleg and her stomach with a blade in it. I pulled out my knife and stabbed her in the head. She fell to the ground and I pulled it out. I looked in sadness at the corpse. I knew her when I came here, she was sweet enough to help me adjust with the others. When I found out she was lesbian, I agreed to take it okay. I met Lyra and we got along pretty well. But now...

"Twilight! You okay?" Red asked.

He came up and saw Bon Bon.

"I-I'm sorry..." Red said.

"Don't worry about me. Worry about Lyra." I said.

SPIKE'S P.O.V

Bon Bon's funeral was short but sad. I didn't know her well, but I knew she was a good friend of Twilight.

"..in this world, we have losses. Ponies who were good, bad, and, well, friends. We must mourn this death, despite her sexuallity. May Bon Bon rest in peace." Celestia preached.

We were sent off and I went to see Rarity.

"Rarity? Are you home?" I asked.

"Hello? Oh, Spike! Please come in!" She said.

I walked in and took a seat.

"What do you need?" Rarity asked.

"Nothing, it's just... I think there's something wrong here." I said.
