Hi guys, so this is my 3d attempt actually on re-writing the story, because I made the first one complete, but my internet crashed during the upload and I didn't have a back-up and the second attempt I had to stop playing xD, but on to the story, I got my inspiration for writing this from many different stories, the first chapter will be, what should I say, a little bit fucked up, but what-ever..

Please note that : I do not own Left 4 Dead or it's characters or any other brand/game/etc. named in this story!

Types of story visions I will be using : 3d person, Main Character View(MCV), P.O.V.s and TV/Radio broadcasts

Rated M for gore and violence

Chapter 1.

Beginning

MCV

It was a cold and dark Saturday evening as me and my parents walked home from the cinema, I was only 7 years old and full of excitement of the epicness I just saw back in the cinema, but that all changed as I heard my parents footsteps stop and freeze at instant on the frozen, snow-covered pavement, staring at a TV in the Electronics Store nearby.

TV News Broadcast

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Channel 4 news. Today we got some breaking news for you; there are rumours about a mysterious virus taking the lifes of many people, it is said to be a widespread disease, the virus is known as the 'Green Flu' and could only be transmitted by saliva.

We also got a report about a snowstorm heading for New York, please stay at home if you live in New York. This was Channel 4 news and we wish you a good evening.

3d Person

As the parents with their child stood in the snow, uneasy from both the cold and the worrying message, they decided to head home, which took them about 27 minutes. When they were in the avenue where the house stood, the cold from the winter started taking effect upon the child, as he started to collapse and fell on his hands, he now was on all fours, nearly immobilized by the freezing cold, he got picked up and carried by his father who was doing his best to resist the still weak snowstorm. As soon as they reached their house, the mother locked the door and turned on the heater at instant. It was 19:53 in the evening, they sat in front of the heater, enjoying themselves as the warmth flew over their bodies.

MCV

As the warmth covered my nearly frozen body, making me think that this is the best time of my life, I also had something in the back of my mind which made me somehow unsettled, but I chose to ignore it. As the snowstorm raged outside, we were enjoying a nice hot cup of chocolate while sitting in front of the TV, when we suddenly got another news broadcast, but this time, it was an emergency broadcast...

Emergency Broadcast

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is Channel 4's presentator, Lucy Hebenvelt, with an Emergency Broadcast! It revolves about the Green Flu, as it's victims are rising up from their graves! We are deeply ashamed of our suggestion to wear a mouth-cap, but for now, we suggest you to hurry to your house, barricade it and make sure you stocked up on supplies! We hope our message reached you some-UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

MCV

My eyes widened in fear as I heard the screaming on TV, it clearly showed us the bloody slaughter of this news reporter, blood spurting everywhere, and as soon as the zombie who killed the reporter stood up, it attacked the camera, thus ending the broadcast.

3d Person

There the family sat, staring at the screen, fear in their eyes, tears starting to roll down from the mother's eyes, slowly sliding down her cheecks, unable to process what just happened, she started to whisper to herself, words like "This is not happening." and "This is just all a TV prank."

Then, suddenly, after about 4 more minutes, the father decided to stand up, he hurried to the back of the garden and started to grab anything that could provide some sort of protection, which were mostly planks. As the snow storm raged on, the father slowly but sure managed to get the house barricaded.

MCV

As my father barricaded the house, he returned to the living room, covered in snow and sweat, panting and gasping for air from all the hard work he just delivered. As he sat down, he told me something very important : "Son, if something ever happens to me and your mother, search for the closest evac center..." he coughed and continued his sentence ".. because if there is something I know about zombies is when there are zombies, there is an evacuation center..". Without any doubt, I nodded, worried and sad, but I nodded. "Now go to bed, it is late.." he told me. As soon as I was in bed, I heard my mother and father have a discussion, it was about barricading the windows on the upper floor; "But what if they can climb?" "They are zombies, dear, they can't climb for as far as I know!". This raged on until I fell away in a slumber..

3d Person

As the night has passed, the 7-year old boy got up from bed, did his usual things, dressed up and went downstairs, where he saw his mother and father sitting at the table. His mother was preparing breakfast, which smelled good, while his father was reading the paper, this was his usual morning.

After they had the boy's favourite breakfast, bacon, toast, egg and a glass of orange juice, the father got up from his chair and said "Honey, could you be so kind and get me my shotgun?" "Why won't you do it with your lazy ass?" she snarled, on which he replied "Because you are the only one who knows the code.."

The Mother's POV

"Alright, alright!" I said when I headed to the hallway, went up the stairs and headed straight for our bedroom. Upon entering the room, it was completely quiet, eerily quiet, which sounded good to me, because it relieved me of the fact that those zombies couldn't climb. As I unlocked the weapon vault and got my husband his Pump-Action Single-Barrelled Shotgun, as I closed the weapon vault and turned around, I saw something both my eyes and my mind couldn't believe, it was someone, dressed in a black hoodie with his hood covering his eyes, blood stains all over him, blood drenching from his eyes, he started to get on his fours and started growling deeply, which unsettled me the most, but all I cared about was getting the hell out of here, and alive too. As I positioned the shotgun in front of me, I quickly loaded a shell in the chamber and loaded it, which startled this freak, making him leap over to me, pounce on me and then I saw it, he was one of those zombies.

MCV

As I heard my mother's screams all around the house, me and my dad hurried over to their bedroom, where horror froze me in my stand, I saw my mother lying down on the ground, being ripped open and disembowelled by this creature, bite marks all over her. As I saw my father running at my mother who was gurgling in her own blood while trying to scream and being slaughtered by this monster, my father managed to knock the beast off of her, only to find out she got her last blow when my dad pushed that thing off of her, while his claw was still in her chest, cutting her heart. My father quickly grabbed the shotgun laying down on the floor, aimed at the zombie and pulled the trigger, causing it's victim's head to explode, blood splattering everywhere, pieces of brains and skull shards scattered across the shotgun's shooting radius. As soon as he pulled the trigger, he sank to his knees next to the puddle of blood where the corpse of what used to be my mother laid. I just stood there, trembling out of fear, tears rolling down my cheecks. Then, I heard soft cries, they came from my dad, as he sat on his knees, begging for this to be just an awful nightmare, he wanted to stroke her cheek once more before he left her for good, but as his hand closed in to her face, her eyes sprung open, glowing bright yellow, she screamed, grabbed my father and chomped down in his neck. I was scared, really scared of what I saw what was happening right in front of me, when I heard my father say while he was gurgling in blood "Son, run.. now, get out of here, search for the evac center.." which was followed by a short and weak "Son.. I love you.. I always did.." as his voice weakened and slowly died. I hurried myself to my room, grabbed me some clothes, grabbed my backpack, went to the kitchen, grabbed everything I could carry, hurried out of the house, onto the snow-covered streets, I heard a shotgun shot "So he did it.. they both are in heaven now.." I briefly thought as I ran away from my house, further into the snowy streets, I ran, and I kept on running, not stopping to look back for any reason possible, I just ran, as hard as possible, tears rolling down my cheeks as I whispered to myself "I love you too dad.."

And that ladies and gentlemen, was my first chapter of my story, the first name in here was completely made up, and may I repeat : I do not own any trademarked things in this story, they all belong to their respectful owners! Anyways, if you like the story and if you want me to continue it, tell me by leaving reviews, also, don't be afraid to criticize me, I did my best to prevent as many spelling errors from happening, the story may be short, but at least I managed to do it..
