I Hold On
Summary
Ellie Lavelle and her sister Ariel are a couple of lone survivors in the apocalyptic world of the undead. For the past few weeks since the sickness hit, they have only had each other to hold onto. But one can only hold onto something so long. How long will it take before the world takes its toll on them?

Characters

Ariel Harper Lavelle
Having harbored ill feelings towards her older sister for most of her teenage life, nineteen year old Ariel Harper Lavelle finds that she is only left with her sister to hold onto. Having lost thier parents due to the outbreak, once as stubborn and fiesty as Ellie, now Ariel finds she's losing hope and contemplating suicide instead of fighting until the end.

Ellie Willow Lavelle
Born and raised in South Carolina, southern beauty Ellie Willow Lavelle isn't what you'd call your average woman. She's a stubborn, mouthy twenty four year old spitfire who will do whatever it takes to survive. Having lost both of her parents when the outbreak hit, her only living kin is her sister Ariel whom she's very protective over. Now she's struggling to keep her sister and herself alive.

Gail Lavelle
Forty six year old Gail Lavelle married her highschool sweetheart Luther at the young age of twenty. She was always the headstrong and happy go lucky type. She helped in raising her girls to be the same. Due to unfortunate events of the outbreak while visiting Ellie at college with her husband and youngest daughter, she ends up not making it out alive.

Luther Lavelle
Fifty year old hardened marine war veteran and well known lawyer Luther Lavelle was fortunate enough to marry his high school sweetheart. Not long after, he was blessed with two daughters who he adored right away. He taught them everything he knew from survival techniques to firearm safety and use, but what he didn't teach them was how to plan for a zombie Apocalypse. Like his wife, he never makes it back from the visit to Ellie's college in Georgia.

Shane Walsh
Thirty year old Shane is a hot head with a dark side and was Rick Grimes's partner in the King County Sheriff's Department and best friend since high school. He had an affair with Rick's wife (Lori) and killed a man (Otis) to save Carl's life and now is fighting himself because of it.
