1 Shocking Beginnings

Alex was walking home late at night contemplating his life's choices he just blew his chance to go to school of his dreams. "Argh! I always do this, waste away my life doing pointless shit, I should've studied!" he yelled out into the night.

Then as he was wallowing in self pity he saw a little girl run across the street from something or someone. It was a crazed maniac chasing her. Alex quickly went into action, he tackled the man and grabbed the knife. "Look man just leave her alone... OWW" he screamed. The girl was back holding a brick over her head, she quickly slammed it down on Alex's head. As he was hit he dropped the knife which was quickly picked up by the man. As he was repeatedly stabbed by the man Alex saw the girl with a sinister smirk on her face. "Whyyy... agh", was all Alex could get out as he slowly faded away.

He woke up in a dark void, unable to feel, see or hear. Suddenly he was able to see again and he saw a bright light and in that light he heard a voices that was neither masculine or feminine, "My child I apologize for your pain, I have decided to take this opportunity to give you a gift, goodbye" Then the voice was gone just as sudden as it appeared. Alex lost consciousness as soon as the voice had left.

///Alex`s POV///

When I woke up I felt warmth and love all around me and something else... no someone else. It eventually donned on me that I`m in the womb of what appears to be my new mother and with a twin sibling. I have no idea how but I can somehow sense my surroundings far outside my mothers womb. When I first noticed this I could only sense the room which she was in, after a while of observing I discovered my father is named Rick and seems to be a cop of some sorts. It seems this sense is some form of echolocation but I have this strange feeling it is much more than that. Eventually after a few days I tried to expand this newfound sense what greeted me was an extreme headache and success I manage to see the entire house.

But afterwords I soon lost consciousness only to awake to what I can only explain as another mind, but the thoughts of the mind, if you can even call them that are primitive, I figured it was my twin brother whom I seem to have a mental link of some kind. From the state of his mind(yes his it seems I can sense inside the womb) it seems that our birth is soon approaching. A few days later I began to feel it coming not wanting to cause a mishap in the birth I quickly succumb to my primitive instincts to allow everything to be fine. Knowing I was about to be born again was quite exciting, a new life full of promise I just couldn`t wait.

After a long and arduous process of the hell you could call birth, I realized something really F*CKED UP, that bitch or bastard dropped of in a world full of death and misery. How do I know this well I`m currently looking at Rick Grimes, why I didn`t put two and two together a month ago, I don`t know but one things for sure I`m Rick Grimes` son and twin brother of Coral... wait Carl Grimes.

Ironically they named me Alexander, which I found easy not having to get used to a new name. So, with nothing to do except lie down, shit, and eat I decided to further explore this sense or vision. I have discovered That when I forcefully expand my vision the pain I endure is excruciating however the results are worth it. My vision is permanently enhanced, I also found that instead of sleep I can meditate and focus on sensing my surroundings enhancing how detailed my sight is with this I can read and hear people in a one mile radius. Because of me constantly falling unconscious due to the pain of me expanding my vision I visited the hospital many times only to discover a highly advanced brain for a 3 month old baby. I figured this was due to the "gift" I was given and because my brain is still in it`s growth stage I assume my capabilities will be amazing and am pretty sure I have eidetic memory.

A month later I started to have troubles increasing my sight range and came to a bottleneck with a radius of three miles. I then looked into my link with Coral it turns out I can send image into his head and other thoughts , so for the next month I focused on being a baby trying to speak in secret crawling and getting used to my body and playing with my cute little brother. At about 6-months old I was able to finally speak, of course not fluently but still surprised my parents, Coral also has finally begun to show signs of cohesive thoughts so I assume after seeing me speak it`ll take him about a month. So while helping him to speak I begun my arduous quest to walk. It took some work but I succeeded on a Sunday morning right after Coral Said his first word which was Alexander funnily enough which quickly saddened my parents before he said momma and dadda.

It has been a year since I was Reborn and I've discovered quite a list of inconsistencies. First I was born in 1998 which is years before the original Carl was born in the series so I can only assume this is another part of my "gift" more time to prepare I guess. I also have the ability to communicate with my brother who is much more intelligent thanks to me and sense anything in three mile radius. I have decided to make the most of my "gifts" and prepare as much as I can for early 2013 the start of the outbreak.
