Chapter ONE: Ava's Start

I walked quietly down near the river, figuring that It had to end somewhere near the ocean, don't attract attention, looking over ever so slightly backward towards where I'd come from.

Nothing; good, l have been trying to find a group for a month now but my main goal is to reach the sea and find a boat, Australia is where I want to go, My country, America is so foreign to me and after the epidemic spread fast and watching others lose everything and their lives and coming back as the dead walking, eating everyone being something unnatural is nothing I've ever read about zombies because I liked reading about that stuff but to think about it now is horrible thought.

I lost my travelling companion, Katie, took her from my hands after the airport became affected and almost over run, I took it upon myself to leave the city in search of something safer than what was going on in the city but my overall goal is to leave the country. To my people, the ones that I understand and love who are probably worried about me and I wonder if Australia is safe from this shitty Epidemic that has taken over America.

The public places where hit first, I suppose because that is where many congregate, the smell of death everywhere you go, rotting corpses fumble their way towards you wanting to eat you, its strange but never be caught in a herd of them because there is no way to get away from them, you really have to be careful out there.

The first night was the most scary because its over whelming because, you talk to the person, something happens and they go all zombie like and they want to eat you!, and you think, i only asked for a piece of gum but I had a weapon before coming to America and that was the whip, it sound stupid but it works, for me that is, i had seen anyone use one but i made sure that i'd learn to use a gun by teaching myself how, to weld a knife properly, a katana and bow and arrows to make sure that whatever happened I was covered with anything, if anything happened.

The reason why I am now in the forest is I'm running from a group of walkers, maybe 5-10 of them, I'm scared, but I tell myself that I need to keep my head on and keep going.

I did have a group but they left after being attacked and I was out hunting for food when I got back with my kill I was confronted with the group gone and replaced with walker, I than dumped the kill and turned and ran in the opposite direction killing whatever walker got in my way by using the katana and slicing their heads off and kept running until I got tired ad climbed a large tree and tied myself to it just in case because it was high enough for me to be safe for the night, at least.

I struggled to sleep, hearing the moans as the walkers surrounded the tree. I put my head phones in where my favorite music was played and falling asleep and wait for the morning to come. i was worried that something happened and they could start to climbing but with the knowledge that I had on the walkers, they couldn't and I was grateful for that fact and trees were not comfortable while I slept, well tried to sleep as I pictured my family, or the others that I left behind.
