On April 13th, John's 13th birthday, the world ended. It started with some sort of infection, that spread. Nobody will admit it, but these walking dead people are zombies. No longer science fiction, its the real deal. The day started out normally with birthday wishes and Dad baking a cake, which John almost vomited at the sight of. Now he'd give anything for one of the cakes. John was pestering with friends and being troll by a jerk. Nobody knew anything about what was about to happen. While video chatting with Dave, there was a scream from his end. Dave went to go check it out. He ran back in, slamming his door and holding a sword.
"Dave? Dude what's wrong?" John said full of concern. He turned back to the computer.
"John, go look on the news or something. Lock your doors." He was dead serious. The other quickly looked out the window and saw these things walking around… people. They looked dead. He opened the window and could hear screams, gunshots, and explosions.
"What is this?" John asked shutting the window and going back to the computer. He didn't give him enough time to answer. "Dad!" The nerd quickly ran out of his room, being followed by screams from the computer telling him to stay. Pounding down the stairs he see's his dad, who turns around. His eyes were bloody and he had no pupils. His skin had a green tint and he hissed. He was now one of them. John quickley grabbed a nearby knife and ran back up to his room, locking the door. His dad was now dead. Tears fell down his face.
"John? Hey Egderp?" Dave called. He went and sat back in front of the computer.
"What are these things?" John finally said.
"Undead. Like sci-fic shit come to life." The cool kid replied.
"Do you think Rose is okay? Jade too?" Another window popped up in their video chat: Calling tentacletherapist
"Dammit Rose answer…" Dave muttered. Finally Rose appeared, surround by darkness, her computer screen illuminating her face. She look frightened.
"Where are you Rose?" John asked.
"I'm in my cat's mausoleum… These undead are trying to kill me… I'm scared…" She sighed. gardenGnostic is requesting to join popped up. John clicked accept.
"Hey guys! How's everyone- is something wrong?" Jade said.
"Harley, the world's under attack by zombies man." Dave said. Her mouth fell open in shock.
"Do you guys want to come here?" She asked. They all looked confused. "I can send Bec.."
"Do it. Save us Jade." Rose commanded.
"I'll go tell him. See you all soon." Then the power went out in John's house. He jumped a foot in the air and fell onto the ground. Grabbing the knife, he hid in his closet hoping nothing would come kill him.
After what seemed like hours, there was scratching at the door, followed by a bark. Gripping the knife tightly in his hands, he opened the door a crack to see a big white dog staring happily at him. John quickly jumped out and hugged the animal. Suddenly a bright white light surrounded them and warmth surrounded him. He opened his eyes just to have to close them again by the bright sun.
"John!" He was tackled to the ground by the young jade haired girl.
"Hey Jade." He said. Normally he'd be more enthusiastic to meet his friend for the first time. "Where's the others?"
"In the house, come on." She pulled him down through the doors and up the stairs. There he saw Rose and Dave sitting on the couch, both looking more pale than normal and frightened. John quickly went up to hug the two. Rose clung to him and he heard sniffling. Dave on the other hand hugged him then went back, his hair covering his shades. Jade sat in another chair watching them.
"How bad is it out there…?" She asked. John looked over to her and sighed.
"Pretty bad… My dad is gone…" He said.
"Bro died fighting… had to kill him before he turned to one of them."
"My mother turned into one. Just went on drinking, didn't even notice me till i screamed. Had to kill her…" She burst out crying and went into her "brother's" arms. John brushed tears away.
"So everyone is basically doomed?" Jade started to tear up. "We're doomed as well… I do import a lot of food and such…"
"Someone should find us right? You say planes fly over all the time correct?" Rose said in between sniffles.
"Hopefully…"

Three months pass on the island with no contact. There had been planes flying over them but never noticed the 4 kids, until Jade found an old radio. It was once her grandfathers, and they were able to contact one of the planes. It was an american military plane and it landed on the shore of the island. The soldiers walked into the house and Jade showed them where supplies were such as ammunition.
The 4 kids were each given a gun and told to get into the plane, Bec following close, afraid of these armored men. They were told to shoot anything that tried to attack in the head. Only Jade really knew how to shoot, the others not so much. But soon they were flying high into the clouds for 3 hours. Finally they arrived at a base.
"This is where we train teens to fight. You will stay here until you are ready to help and then you'll be shipped over to the main base where you will be assigned to a job. Got it?" The soldier said. The four were ushered into a building where they were given medical checks and new clothes. After they all met in a cafeteria like place. They were told where to sleep and given their daily schedules. Luckily they all had the same room. The next day their new lives began.
Everyday was the same. Wake up, eat breakfast, schooling, lunch, training, dinner, time for themselves, and bed. The four friends did this for about a month till anything different happened.
"Harley." A soldier called. Jade looked up from playing with Bec.
"Yes?" She said standing up.
"You're shooting is exceptional, and your training has gone very successfully. You're being moved to the base." Those six words changed everything. Jade was leaving them to go fight. They may never meet again. She had 3 hours to get everything and say her goodbyes. Bec whined while watching her pack knowing he couldn't go with her.
"Jade…" John said. He ran up and hugged her. "You can't leave…"
"Oh John, I'll be fine. They told me I'm an exceptional shoot. I'll be fine…" Everyone said their goodbyes and soon Jade was put into a helicopter and flown away.
Within a year, Dave also left. Now it was just Rose and John. They were put to harder training and most extreme situations. Together they got out of them using Rose's clever mind and John's good aim. But then Rose had to leave. She was already assigned to stay at the military base and help organize everything. This just left John. John who became depressed after losing his friends. John, who was getting beat up by other teens. John and Bec. The last of them to stay.
=========================8luh==========================
April 13th, 4 years after the start of the zombie apocalypse. 2 years since he'd seen his friends. John's 17th birthday.
"Egbert!" The new commander called. "Congratulations you're being moved up finally." John's dull eyes rolled.
"About time.." He said. The sixteen year old walked out to gather his things and get Bec, who would be traveling with him now that he was leaving. Unless he finds Jade. Then she can have her dog back. Soon he was on a helicopter, off on a 5 hour ride to the main base. He couldn't wait to see Rose again.
The closer they got to the ground, the more bodies he saw. They were all undead. Some were fighting, others just walking. They made it to the base and John stumbled before walking normal.
"Egbert, over here." Someone called. He walked over and stood in front of the man. He was handed a piece of paper containing his temporary information such as room and schedule. He quickly went to his room, Bec following close, and stopped when he saw his roommate.
"Oh gog they put this fuckass in my room?"
