Chapter 1: They Walk Amongst Us

Monday 8:30 A.M.

Gwen looked out her window, and down at the empty highway, it had all happen so fast. The virus, the death of almost half the world, and the "reanimation" of those people. She was running out of food, she had no choice, but to leave her home, and try to find survivors. She grabbed her mom's hand gun, packed a few clothes, said goodbye to her dead family, and left.

Downtown Toronto Monday 7:00 P.M.

Gwen was tired, hungry, and thirsty, she was starting to lose hope. She found a abandoned car, and tried to bust it open, it wouldn't budge. Nothing seemed to work, and that was the only shelter available for god knows how long, the only thing she could do was break the window, and try to unlock the car. She grabbed a rock and slammed it against the window, it broke instantly, but as soon as she did that the car alarm went off.

"SHIT!," Gwen screamed, she then heard a hoard of zombies heading her way.

Gwen immediately ran away hoping she could escape the hoard of zombies, but she knew she was going to die. Just as she gave began to give up hope she saw another human being, a short, petite young woman, she had long blonde hair, and was wearing a green sweater, she seemed to be telling Gwen to follow her. Gwen had not other choice, but to run towards the girl, the zombies weren't far behind her. As soon as she reached the blonde girl, the blonde girl took Gwen's hand, and ran inside a gas station.

Stop N' Go Monday 7:07 P.M.

The gas station was a pale red, empty food cans were scattered around, and spiderwebs surrounded the room. Four people surrounded the area as well, 2 boys, and 2 girls.

"What did I tell you about leaving this place?!" screamed a tall girl with long black hair.

"You just expected me to leave her to die?" said the blonde girl in calm tone.

"Yes, that's what we have been doing for the past 3 weeks," said the girl with the long black hair.

"Heather, we can't keep doing this," said the blonde girl, "We can't just keep leaving people on the streets to die."

"We also can't keep saving every survivor that walks on by."

"You know Heather, Dawn has a point," said a scrawny boy, with light brown hair.

"Shut it, Cody," said Heather.

"Guys, we shouldn't be arguing," said a tall, young man, with a white beanie.

"What do you propose we do, huh DJ?," asked Heather, "Sign a fucking treaty?"

"I just think we should try to get along," said DJ with a concerned tone.

"Whatever, I'm done arguing," said Heather, "Welcome to the fucking group," yelled Heather as she walked towards the front counter.

"What's up with her?" asked Gwen.

"She thinks she's the "leader" of the group, so she thinks she can tell us what to do," said Cody.

"She's a bitch, is what she is," said Gwen.

"I couldn't agree with you more," said Cody, "Anyways welcome, I'm Cody", said Cody.

"I'm Dawn, and that's DJ," said Dawn.

"Hello, nice to meet you," said DJ as he shook Gwen's hand.

"And that's Heather," said Cody as he pointed at Heather.

"So, what do you guys do for fo-," said Gwen before she was interrupted by a loud noise.

"What is that?" asked Heather.

The whole front wall then began to crumble.

"Shit," said Gwen "ZOMBIES!"

"Grab whatever you can, and let's get the fuck out of here!" screamed Heather.

Everyone scrambled to find food, water, and ammo, and collect whatever they could. The door then began to fall down, and a hoard of zombies came inside the gas station.

"You!"said Heather as she pointed at Gwen, "Start shooting, what the fuck are you waiting for?!"

Gwen then immediately began to shoot all the zombies she could, but there were just to many to for her to handle. Heather then began to shoot the brainless zombies with her riffle, while DJ began to cut their heads with an ax. The wall was starting to get weaker, and would come down any second.

"Everyone run!" yelled Heather, as she ran towards the back.

Just before DJ could start running rubble fell on top of his legs.

"GUYS HELP, I CAN'T MOVE!" yelled DJ.

Dawn, Gwen, and Cody stopped moving.

"We have to help him!" said a concerned Dawn.

"Leave him, he's a goner!" yelled Heather.

"What should we do?!" asked Gwen.

"Well whatever you're gonna do, do it now!" yelled Cody.

Gwen then ran towards DJ, and tried to help him get out of the rubble, Dawn, and Cody weren't far behind. After a while they got DJ out of the rubble, and ran towards the exit as they watched the building get filled with brainless zombies.
