Chapter 1: Guidance
Main Story
It's been about 4 months since the walking dead apocalypse. You have been on your own for the first two months until you met your guardian angel, Alexander Hamilton. During that time, you were looking food supply since there was hardly any food source in the cabin you escape to. What was happening while being distracted of collecting canned food was a walker slowly creeping behind? It attacks almost attempting to bite your arm for a delicious snack. Never have to experience killing a walker. Fearing that same fateful day was the end line for you until someone bash it head with a sledgehammer. Ever since that day, your savior Hamilton has dedicated his life to your survival of this cruel world. He even taught you how to wield a knife, reload a gun, and any sorts of weapons. You saw him as a father figure since you never have a father before. All of your childhood was nothing more than a living an orphan life.
Right now, you and Alexander are camping in the forest for the time beginning. Giving the fact that a herd of walkers was crossing toward the east side. Luckily, you're on the south side though Alexander always let you know that you shouldn't be too careful. Especially of how the world went downhill. Also, another obstacle was coming between that Alex's is a transgender. Supposedly he was to get top surgery but suddenly realize that the Caribbean male is pregnant with his late lover's child. The father of his unborn child is Aaron Burr, the sweet and kind-hearted man that left the world too soon. Burr was bitten by a walker within less than 24 hours, the African American male blasted his own brain out. It caused Alexander to make a sole promise to himself that he'll always protect his unborn child and you as well.
You knew how much Alexander loved Aaron with all his heart and soul. Hell, he couldn't even stop talking about him if he wanted to. Though you can't blame him since your guardian angel lost his lover before he met you. Looking at Alexander who was scouting the campsite in case of an intruder or walkers come by. You didn't while trying to lit the fire despite having the lighter on low oil. Doing your best to keep you and Alexander warm during the cold winter.
"Your Name" Hamilton whispers your name from a distance
"Yea, Hamilton" You replied
"We gonna go now. I spotted the herd coming in our direction"
"What?! I thought they were heading East"
"Guess those walkers change their mind"
Hamilton tosses you a rifle and a duffle bag without a hesitation. Even though the herd is miles away from the campsite but it's not worth taking the risk of staying in the forest. You and Hamilton have been on the road for a month now. Yall never stay in one place for too long. Been traveling like gypsies in the needs of shelters, bullets, and foods. Life has been difficult lately cause of the apocalypse but also traveling on road nonstop.
"Your name, it'll be alright. Once we head to South Carolina… We can start over in the countryside" Hamilton spoke
Choice 1:
a. "Can we really start over?"
b. "Isn't the world starting over?"
c. "Sound nice. We can be a family"
Remember! There are no right or wrong choices. Choose which one best fits for you
A. "Can we really start over?"
You looked up at the skies as you saw nothing but a few birds. Though there were any other birds that you'll see the forest. Instead, you only saw ravens and crows. They're always cawing nonstop. As if they're mocking both you and Alexander since they don't have to suffer from the apocalypse like the both of you. Always sleeping every night with cautious with a gun by your side. Always fearing of being bitten or get eaten by a walker during your sleep. Scraping food from other stores, abandoned houses, and etc. Now you'll always be on guard whether to trust the people you'll recently meet deciding where they're either allies or foes. Taking a deep breath as you'll be breathing for the last time in the forest of New Jersey.
"Can we really start over?" you ask
"If you believe it with all your heart then we can" Hamilton reply
Giving him a warm smile knowing that both of you can overcome anything. Quickly packing all your supplies into the car that Hamilton found in the middle of the forest. You were going to miss the forest deeply but it has to be done. You saw Hamilton humming to his unborn child while rubbing his pregnant belly. You pity him since Alexander lost his darling Aaron at the beginning of the outbreak. Tears were slid down his face just remembering the moment of Aaron death. You know how dearly your guardian loved his beloved lover. But he's now gone away from this cruel world.
"Your name, let's head out. The sooner we get to South Carolina, the better chances to live a better life" Alexander advice
Hamilton gently patted your head with a soft smile. Settling in the car before both of you headed East to live a new life in South Carolina. With a possibility of living with John Laurens and the others. Or perhaps living in permanent shelters until the outbreak wears off hopefully very soon.
B: "Isn't the world starting over?"
Looking beyond the forest trail is where you'll leaving this forest for good. The lovely forest of New Jersey that you won't be able to see again. It breaks your heart into a massive amount piece like a shattered gem. Though there nothing you can do since you and Hamilton have to move on. It's for the best for Alexanders' unborn child. Where it would be safe for his new baby to live in a safe environment despite having to witness the outbreak. You didn't want to leave this beautiful forest but then again you have to think about your unborn brother or sister. Hamilton has called you his own child despite not being blood-related in which didn't matter to both of yall.
"Isn't the world starting over?" You murmur under your breath
Hamilton places his hand on your shoulder while giving you a soft smile. Appreciating the comfort of him while tears were sliding down your face. You were tired of living on the road of day after day. Slowly you broke down into Hamilton arms who was hugging you tightly while rubbing back. Whispering words of encouragement for a minute or more depending on how much times pass by.
"The world may be starting since I believe that either God or perhaps even the Devil is punishing us for our sins. Or punishing us for taking life for granted. Though even with a push or shoves we can over anything as we put our minds into it" Hamilton comply
"You really think we can survive this?" You question
"I've no doubt that we will survive of this outbreak. Until we reach to South Carolina, we can all live a happy life as a family"
Wiping your tears away before placing your hand on Hamilton pregnant belly. Feeling the baby kick a couple of times. Both of you and Hamilton laugh softly before pack things up into an old and dirty van. Somehow you found it abandoned in the middle of the forest but luckily it has warm clothes, food, and everything else yall need for the long journey. Deciding to take for the first few hours so Hamilton can rest easy with the baby happily kicking to him. It would take awhile to get South Carolina but the journey would be worth it.
C. "Sound nice. We can be a family"
Giving him a soft smile knowingly that South Carolina maybe yall only hope for survival. Even for Hamilton unborn child to live in a permanent shelter where the baby can live a normal childhood. The outbreak has caused many children to mature so quickly instead living a normal life by just being a kid. Many of the children you met during your travels where they all knew how to load a gun, hunt, and even kill walkers at a young age. It wasn't fair for many children to mature so quickly but yet it has to be done. The outbreaks made people question about life to see if it's really worth to continue living on or just died quickly so no one could suffer from loss of friend and family.
And that's was something you don't want your unborn brother or sister to live their life as. Placing your hand on Hamilton pregnant belly while humming softly to the baby that is inside your guardian's belly. The Caribbean male chuckles lightly as you did that every day in which comfort him knowing that you'll do anything to protect him and his unborn child. Hamilton is really lucky to have you as his own child. Alexanders' rubbed your hair gently with a soft smile.
"Sound nice. We can be a family" You said
"Yes, we can a live a normal life as a family in a warm permanent shelter instead of traveling on the road nonstop. I want you and your unborn sibling to live a normal childhood" Hamilton reply
"That's all I ever wanted since the beginning of this damn outbreak"
"I know sweetie. I know"
Taking the wheel of Aaron and Alexanders' pickup that they owe before the outbreak. It brings the Caribbean male wonderful memories of his late husband. He'll always treasure those memories until the day of his death. Hamilton let you rest since you have been on night watch for the past 48 hours and it would be a while to arrive in South Carolina. Appreciating the offer but you wanted to drive since you wanted Hamilton to take it easy with the baby. Though with Hamilton stubbornness getting in the way, you decided to rest before feeling his lips pressing against your forehead.
"Sweet dreams my child" he spoke before you were falling asleep.
Main story
You and Hamilton weren't too sure of what to expect once both you arrive in South Carolina. Though hopefully in your guardian opinions that both of you will get to see familiar faces like Laurens, Mulligan, or maybe Lafayette. Still, it was better to stay on guards and loaded with weapons in case trouble comes by to your direction. Praying every day and night whether you'll get to see another daylight to live another life. It may seem hopeless toward others but both you and Alexander are determined to survive whether it may break you down or bring you up to the top. You'll never know until reaching the destination of South Carolina where it may be yall's last chance to live a normal life.
Well, I hope you have fun with this first choice despite the fact it may or may not get harder as the story continues on. Until then, see ya.
