Ariel and her family stayed at the family home for protection and supplies.

#### **"Mulligan"**

Ariel asks Edwin if the coast is clear outside. Edwin assures Ariel that the coast is clear. Ariel tells Edwin that they are running low of supplies and that they need to be prepared for anything. Edwin tells her that their group is returning soon and that they are prepared for anything. Edwin smiles, leaving Ariel.

Later, Ariel walks into the living room and tells Daniel to be careful of the fire place. She tells Daniel to eat something, but Daniel tells her he's not hungry.

Later in the night, Ariel is eating a bag of stale chips, not thinking nothing of it. Suddenly, Tim walks in and tells the group that the group is back. Ariel is relieved they're back and walks with Edwin to greet them.

The 3 of them get to the door and realise that only 2 people are back, and not 3. Ross and Benedikte enter. Edwin is furious, asking where his brother, Dan, is. Ross comes out and says that Dan is dead. Ariel listens in shock, as Edwin storms out. Ariel suddenly vomits. She apologizes to Ross and Benedikte, but the 2 tell her to go rest up. She does.

A bit later, Ariel comes into the kitchen after hearing Daniel screaming "HE'S DEAD!". She tries to calm Daniel down, though being extremely ill. Ariel tells Daniel she's sorry about Dan's death. She hugs him and eventually walks him out.

Ariel is explaining to Daniel about her sister, Marie. She explains how she went off early to look for her husband who was a business man. Suddenly, she get's the urge to vomit again and rushes to the bathroom.

The next day, Ariel is resting when Edwin get's home from a supply run. Edwin comes upstairs and talks to her. She tells Edwin that Daniel needs to eat, and Edwin promises to feed him. She tells Edwin that they may not be able to stay much longer in the house. Ariel tells Edwin that he needs to eat as well, but he tells Ariel that he's fine. Edwin tells Ariel to rest up, before leaving the room.

#### **"Family Issues"**

In the morning. Ariel comes walking down the stairs, visibly very sick. She lays down on the couch. Edwin approaches her, telling her that he's going to go get her some water. Ariel tries to tell him that she needs medicine, not water, but Edwin is already walking away before he hears her. When Edwin returns with a bottle of water, Ariel declines it, telling Edwin to give it to Daniel. Edwin insists to give it to her, but Ariel declines once more. Edwin gives up. As he does, Uriel comes walking in, demanding to know where Daniel is. Ariel says that he's upstairs in the bedroom. Uriel walks off without saying a word. Edwin follows.

Afterwards, Edwin and Uriel come back downstairs after yelling was heard. Before Edwin can tell Ariel what happened, Benedikte calls Edwin and Ross over after seeing 2 people walking outside. The 2 head off to go find those 2 people.

A while after Edwin and Ross leave, a window breaks behind Ariel and an infected grabs Ariel, trying to pull her out. Benedikte is quick to rush in and help by grabbing the infected off her and stomping it's head in. Ariel quickly grabs Daniel and she rushes up the stairs as more infected swarm the living room.

Minutes later, Ariel comes walking back downstairs holding Daniel. She sees Uriel fighting a new person, Thomas. She weakly yells for everyone to stop, but nobody listens. She eventually gives up, telling everyone to clean up the bodies before going back upstairs.

Later in the day, Ariel is sitting upstairs in the bedroom with Daniel. She pours Daniel some water, then asks him why he's been coming into mom and dad's bedroom a lot. Daniel tells her that his friend stands outside in the woods, only at this window. Daniel then points out the window saying that his friend is out there. When Ariel goes to look, she sees a huge man with long greasy hair. Her jaw drops and she immediately closes the blinds, yanking Daniel away.

#### **"A Gift From Hell"**

Ariel is sitting in the living room, holding Daniel tightly. She then lets go of Daniel. Ross notices what's going on and he looks over. Ariel explains to Ross the man that she saw outside in the woods. Daniel tells Ariel that the man outside is his friend, which Ariel responds by yelling at Daniel that he isn't his friend. Daniel runs away. Ross gets more information on who Ariel saw outside. He asks Ariel if she's sure, several times. When Ariel tells Ross that she for sure saw a man out there, Ross asks if it is in Ariel's imagination, her being sick and all. Ariel is angered and she storms off to find Daniel.

Later the same day, Ariel rushes downstairs after Benedikte, Jonathan, and Henry return from a supply run. Benedikte sees a bite wound on his ankle. He then falls over, shaking. Daniel runs over to Benedikte, yelling. Ariel yells for Daniel to back away. Benedikte grabs Daniel yelling "YOU DIE!" into Daniel's face, before he turns into a runner. Ariel takes a chair, ripping the leg off. She beats the living hell out of Benedikte, before stabbing it into Benedikte's eye. She fumbles back, dropping the chair leg and hugging Daniel.

#### **"False Faces"**

Edwin comes back from a supply run, with medicine for Ariel. He sees Ariel on the ground, scrubbing blood off the floor. She tells Edwin that Benedikte turned and was killed. Edwin gets down to Ariel, asking her if she's okay. Ariel tells Edwin about the man she saw outside in the woods. Edwin is shocked. He then tells Ariel that he brought 3 more people back to the house. He gives Ariel some medicine. After, Ariel tells Edwin that they may need to start kicking people out of the house, as the house is becoming overcrowded. Edwin is highly against the idea. He tells her that he needs to go on one more supply run in order to get gas for the cars. Ariel tells Edwin that they are low on food and they need to go now, but Edwin tells her that they will be gone in a couple days and that this is his call, not hers.

Later, Edwin walks back into the bedroom to Ariel and Daniel. Ariel tells Edwin that the Rennie isn't normal and he needs to leave, as he came looking for Daniel. Edwin gives Ariel his gun and tells her that if Rennie tries anything while he's gone, to shoot Rennie. Ariel is thankful, and Edwin leaves.

Late at night, Ariel is tucking Daniel into bed. He asks Ariel what will happen if Rennie comes back. Ariel tells him that he won't come back. As she does, the bedroom door opens and in walks Rennie, holding a pin. He asks to speak to the birthday boy, Daniel. Ariel goes to grab the snubnose off the nighstand. Rennie gets real aggressive, telling her that he saved Edwin, only for Ariel to shoot him. Ariel falls, and Rennie runs over, beating Ariel. Rennie takes out a knife, stabbing Ariel in the leg. When he's done, he looks up to Daniel. He continue to slightly slice his wrist open, causing blood to leak out. Rennie then slices Daniel's arm. Just then, Ross comes running up the stairs. He asks what the hell is going on. Ariel yells for help. Ross runs forward, tackling Rennie, and grabbing the knife from his hand. Rennie freaks out, yelling and squirming. Ross slams Rennie's head against the wall, knocking him out. He runs to go get bandages.

As Ross is getting bandages, Daniel begins to pass out. Ariel yells at Daniel to stay awake. Jonathan comes up stairs, asking what happened. Ariel tells him what happened. Ross then comes back up. He throws over the bandages, then grabbing Rennie's body and taking it downstairs.

#### **"Marked"**

When Edwin comes in to talk to Daniel, Ariel is sleeping.

During the infected attack on the house, a runner pins Edwin down, clawing at him. Ariel comes racing in and she pushes it off, yell at Edwin to grab a knife. He grabs a knife and kills the infected. Edwin tells Ariel to gather the supplies in the house, before running off. Ariel begins to gather the supplies.

After, Ariel and Daniel are running throughout the house when they spot Ross holding the front door. She and Daniel push a couch in front of the door, then the 3 of them rush off to go into the backyard.

Outside, Ariel hugs Edwin before getting into the van. The two cars drive off.

Ariel steps out of the van at the rest stop, holding Daniels hand.

Later, Edwin walks back outside to tell the group the rest stop is clear. Ariel asks him if he's completely sure. Edwin says he is. Edwin then sees something in the woods and he yells. Ariel asks what he saw. Edwin says he saw a tall, dirty looking man. Ariel knows who it is. She tells Edwin that he's following them and they need to go. Edwin convinces her that they need to stay.

In the night, the group is up talking about how a beartrap ate Eren's flashlight. Ariel says that there should be a release button on the beartrap, and calls him a doofus. After, 2 men appear behind the group, introducing themselves. Everyone, including Ariel look up, shocked.

A bit after, everyone is telling each other names. Ariel tells them her name.
