The Introduction:

Summary: Abby's dream was to be a FBI agent ever since she was a young teenager. She always wanted to save someone, to be a hero. Her dreams were soon crushed when an outbreak occurred, an epidemic that not only surfaced through the United States, but the whole world. Now her goal is to survive. With her partner Gerard, she fights her way through the struggles they face. Men with grudges, girls with over obsessions, infected, name it. She couldn't even imagine what she would do being without Gerard, but what will happen when she meets someone who will change the course of everything?

Character Descriptions:

Abigail Johnson: Originally from the state of New York, Abigail came to Boston in search of life. Now living in Quarantine 51, she dwells in an apartment with her partner Gerard. The two have been partners for almost four years, and show many interests in one another, though neither are one to act on it besides the occasional flirtation. Abigail being an only child, was alone after her father was deceased during the beginning of the apocalypse on their way to Boston. Her mother who died during child birth years before the infection began, died when Abby was only seven years old, along with her baby brother, Evan, whose lung collapsed shortly after he was conceived. On the road to Boston, her father Kevin was shot down by the fireflies, as he was part of the government who was hunting them. Though Kevin posed no threat to them as he was just trying to get his sixteen year old daughter to safety, they still slaughtered him causing Abigail's hatred for the fireflies to arise. Getting her as well with a knife to her throat, she managed to yank herself free, causing the knife to deeply cut her cheek leaving a long slim scar, a scar which makes her unmistakable when others are trying to identify her. Abigail has dark chocolate colored hair with very pale skin and emerald colored eyes. She is well known around the quarantine zone, as she knows how to get her way. She is unafraid of death, and often distrusts those who associate with her. Her heart became hardened from two years of being completely alone until Gerard entered her life, and now he is trying to fix the girl who had been left so broken.

Gerard Ambrose: Abigail's partner. He was born in California, and came to Boston in search of refuge as well, wanting to get away from the over-crowded California which was one of the areas where the infection spread the most quickly. Barely making it out, Gerard was also left alone, but unlike Abby became appreciative of his life and thankful for what he did have left, a small pack of supplies, his camera, and a picture of him with his parents. Before the apocalypse, Gerard wanted to be an artist, to work with all kinds of art, photography being his major. He loved to capture the moment, and make memories that he could always cherish. He was very compassionate in everything he did, being the star of the of his town's baseball league, earning a scholarship that was going to take him to college, of which he was going to the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Gerard's first instinct is to help anyone in need, and was helping his mother through treatment of her breast cancer after his father left them when he was young by working any jobs he could get when he was younger. His mother passed away after her cancer resurfaced after about two years of chemo therapy. He is a one year older than Abby, and has light brown hair with tanned skin; his eyes are a hazel color, with small bluish rings around his pupils. He stands at about five foot, eleven inches, and is built with six pack abs.
