Okay so here is the deal with this story. I was sick of Dawn of the Dead, not the film but the films location. I didn't want to write another "trapped in the mall story," which is all I have been writing. Not that I don't love them, but I wanted to keep people interested so here is what this is…I like the show Lost, I'm not an obsessed fan of it but I watch it every week and came to the thought that it is just like the Dawn remake! Okay… without the zombies… and mall. But there is a pregnant woman, a dog, a person with medical knowledge etc. So what if the same characters from the movie met a different way, and had to face a different horror? What would be different? The other thing I think may be cool is I'm using characters from the original script that didn't make it into the finale version, like a girl called the "Goth chick." Only because I hate making up new characters in stories like this. I say in Movie fics its better to use people that fans know and like, so I hope this adds a new spin to it. And you don't have to know anything about the show "Lost" since im just using its concept. So that's what this is…I hope you like it. I want to thank again the great writer Stayhooper (Check out Stays Biggest fear for a great Dawn story!) for making me want to start this sooner rather then later! Thanks again!
Lost at Dawn
One by one each one of them awoke in the mist of smoke, fire and among debris. They couldn't place what had happened but knew one thing…this place was quiet and green, and unlike any place they had ever seen. It was island.
Michael got his torso off the white beach sand to take a better look at what had happened. The 37 year old, with sandy colored hair had been lying in it for what was an unclear amount of hours. As he rose he felt the stabbing pain that only a wound could bring. He bit his bottom lip and took a look down to his legs, the right one was full of blood and housed a small piece of metal. "Shit," Michael said to himself thinking of what to do, and how to get his leg in shape so he could investigate. Whatever the case was he was afraid of not knowing.
Only a few feet away from the now fully awake Michael was a slim Blonde in her thirties. Her name was Ana, and she was a nurse at a hospital…and…she… was married! Yes that's it, she was on a flight with her husband Luis for their wedding anniversary! Wait…where is he? "Luis?" she called out to her unknown surrounding. He was in the seat right next to her when they took off on the plane…how many hours ago had it been? Three… four? "Luis?" she called out once more this time her eye full with tears. She searched around and then came to someone on the beach across from her own freighted body. It was him! It was her husband! She got on her feet and ran to him, falling into the sand when she got near enough. "Luis, Luis are you okay?" she asked. No…it wasn't Luis! It was another man. "Oh" she said. The man was hurt. "Sorry not Luis…who? Are you okay?" the man asked her with concern. Ana could have laughed. This guy was bleeding and he wanted to know if SHE was all right?
"Yeah fine…let me take a look at that" Ana told him going into full nurse mode. The man smiled. "Thanks…wasn't sure what I was going to do," he laughed a bit. Ana moved her hand to his leg and took a look. The metal in it wasn't deep, which was good. But she didn't know if she could stop the bleeding when and if she could pull it out. "So how does it look?" he asked. "Good…" she told him ripping a strip off her long dress she had just brought for her trip at her local mall, called Crossroads.
"Oh you don't have to do that," he told her. "Don't worry about it." Ana took another strip of cloth and wrapped her hand in it. "What's your name?" she had to keep him talking so she could take his mind off the pain. "Its Michael" he told her. "Okay Michael I want you to breathe for me, okay? Take a deep breath!" Ana told him holding his leg down with her free hand. "Okay" Michael said closing his eyes. In her mind Ana counted down from three and pulled the metal out of his leg. Surprisingly Michael only flinched once when she did and made a small moan. Quickly Ana took her ripped dress and tied it on his leg. "You should be fine now, but you may want to keep off that leg when I-" before she could finish Michael was up on his feet. "Thank you…I'm sorry what's your name?"
Ana smiled and got up after him. "I'm Ana…better slow it down there, your going to have a lot of pain." With a limp, Michael started off to the slight of the dark smoke coming down from the sound of an ocean. After they got past a cluster of palm trees the two saw the horror of the accent played out on the beach in front of them in full bloody color. The picture perfect background of crystal blue water, and baby blue skies didn't help the fact that about 30 people were grouped in mangled forms on the ground. Ana let out a gasped as she came into view of the sight. "Oh my God" Michael followed.
