Perfect World Project

by clawfulGood

Zoe Bogwell thought she had her life figured out. Step one, enter a human time capsule set to open in 200 years, when the earth is not covered with radiation. Step two, lead her people. Until she woke up one day, one hundred years earlier than when she was supposed too. By a strange group of people lead by some guy named Bellamy Blake. Rated T for swearing.

1. Chapter 1

Chaos, that's what I remember. The streets were a writhing mass of flesh. Screaming people flew past me, heading for what they thought was shelter.

They were all going to die, I knew that. The beauty of panic. How people become primal when their lives are threatened with an unbeatable force

I threw myself through the surging mass of bodies. Almost tripping over a victim of the mob. My hand was clasped around another, I shoved my companion through the crowd in front of me, making sure she was going the same way I was headed. Her body was frozen with fear. It was hard getting her through everyone.

Finally we broke into a semi-open space. There was some room to breathe. I swung my friend around to face me, my hands on her shoulders I looked her in the eye.

"Belle, you've got to snap out of this. I can't walk for the both of us. We're almost there."

Belle nodded fast, her pupils were dilated, she obviously didn't hear a word I said. She decided to reply to me, "Zoe, where are we going? You need to get the P.W.P building," her eyes darkened "you passed the tests. You, unlike most of us, apparently deserve to live,"

I shook my head, "I wouldn't deserve to live if I left you behind." I took her hand again and exited the small pocket of safety. As I was mashed back into the crowd, I kept us heading in the same direction we were going before. We rounded a corner and a short concrete building came into view. The letters P.W.P. were pasted on to the side.

Belle gasped, "I can't go in there! They'll notice I don't belong and they'll kick me out!" She seemed flustered and looked like she was about to panic again. I rolled my eyes,

"Are you serious? Look around you, they wouldn't notice if a /Russian soldier/ walked in and sat down. It's too chaotic."

She just started stammering something incoherently as I turned around and continued to pull her toward the front entrance. The nukes were predicted to hit the state in approximately 30 minutes, Belle and I needed to get to the fridges before we all got blown up.

Before the rest of the human race is wiped out.
