Dead Man Walking
Ross POV
The smell of death fills the polluted skies. Earth was once beautiful, peaceful and held so much more, but now everything is destroyed, dark and most importantly DEAD! Dead bodies fill the roads, streets, cities, towns but the only problem is they ain't fully dead. They are what I call the Walkers, they were once innocent people, close friends, precious family members. Now there mindless flesh eaters, I watched as they ripped apart the people they once knew, the people they once loved and the people who were trying to help. This disease spend faster than you could say 'peanut butter' no one knows how it happened, no one know when it happened. All they know is that this is a zombie apocalypse, no one is safe. Now we all have to fight for survival, and pray one day that the world will go back to normal, even if there is no hope.
My name is Ross Lynch, I'm 17 years old I lost my parents to this disease.
How would you feel when you have to pull the trigger and watch your parents blood splat all over the wall, you would probably go insane. Well I couldn't for the sake of my groups survival. There's me the group leader, Laura the looter since she's the best with weapons in the group especially knives, Raini she's like the first aid nurse, Jordan & Rocky the lookouts since they're the best at far distance shooting, Marie & Kira they basically only look after 5 year old Megan & 6 year old Nelson, and Calum & Elliot they help Laura with the looting. We were once a group of 16 but we had to kill the other 5 since they were infected with the walker disease. We have all lost our families and friends to this disease, but whatever it takes we will survive, we are a family now and we are all we have left. We've been on the move for the past 4 months. We stole an old school bus so we could all travel together, who knows what will happened if we drove in different vehicles, one of the vehicles might get overrun by the flesh eaters. We put metal bars on every window and on the doors so nothing can get in but we can still get out, we also put sharp spikes on the wheels and the sides of the bus so when ever we drive past a flesh eater or group we can just slice them to pieces without leaving the bus and save our ammo for whatever reason. We're heading to Washington D.C I heard a rumour that it was safe and very well protected by the U.S Army, but we still have about 4 more miles to our safe haven. For now we need to camp out.
"Raini and I saw a creek a few yards south, we figured some of us could fish for super." Calum stated once Ross, Laura, Nelson, Megan and Jordan joined them.
"Kira and I will also take your clothes and wash them there." Marie planned.
"Jordan, Rocky and I will finish setting up camp and look for fire wood." Calum offered. "Nelson, Megan want to help?"
"Sure." They smiled, joining them.
"I will be look out." Laura suggest. Well since she's capable on looking after herself.
"That means you and I will fish Ross." Elliot said, patting him on the back.
Everybody went their seperate ways to do their missions. Marie and Kira went down to the creek with Elliot and Ross, Jordan and Calum took knifes with them and went to get fire wood, Laura went up a hill so she could see everybody to keep an eye out, and the rest set up shelters and the rest of camp.
After gathering everything we needed we all headed back to camp well except Laura she was on lookout. Only 10 walkers so far that had tried to attempt on attacking us. Luckily for us Laura is well skilled with a sniper gun. We each took shifts in being a lookout for the night, I had to force Laura to go to sleep she's so stubborn sometimes...well it's my shift now ready to kill basically anything that moves. You can't trust anything even animals are infected by this flesh eater disease. You wouldn't even expect a normal horse to eat meat but in this case they do now. The other day I saw a horse missing both its back legs ripping apart a little girl. I couldn't help but gag at that. The world is just sick and lifeless now, but for some reason I still have hope that one day we will survive this world and we will reclaim it.
This is my first story review if I should keep going with it (: It gets way more interesting honestly
