Outbreak

This was not how she expected the world to end. She expected the rapture, a meteor, the oceans to rise- but not zombies. Never zombies. Zombie AU, told in Quinn's POV. Pairings: Klaine, Brittana

1. Prologue

So this is how the world would end.

I had always expected to get through high school, go to college, become a secretary or some other menial job, become a house wife, have children, have grandchildren, and die at some far off age.

Or maybe the rapture would come, and they would all be lifted up to heaven. Or I would die in a car crash. Or a plane crash. Or some other freak accident.

I expected anything really, anything but zombies, that is.

It read like the plot of some horror movie, or video game. The usual, "government-experiments-with-bacteria-and-a-zombie-outbreak-begins." It began in D.C. and quickly spread to other major cities along the east coast. Then it hit Europe, London getting hit first. Asia was the next to fall, then South America, then Africa. Australia they had no word of, it seemed to go into lockdown.

So that, in the beginning, was the plan. Get to Australia. There were 16 of us, at the beginning. Lauren, Artie, and Principal Figgins never stood a chance. Lauren and Artie went down fighting, at least. Santana put a bullet in ever single one of their heads. She threw up later, and wouldn't talk to the rest of us for the next three days.

Mr. Schue, Ms. Pillsberry, and Coach Sylvester went out a couple days after that, looking for more supplies. Only Coach Sylvester made it back alive. She told us that Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsberry had been bitten. Sue gave us more food and ammo, went outside, and shot herself. She, too, had been bitten.

So we were down to 10. Me, Finn, Rachel, Santana, Brittany, Puck, Tina, Mike, Mercedes, and Sam. A couple of days later, the Glee group, what was left of it anyway, finally got up the courage to venture outside the choir room. The school was mostly deserted, only a few zombies still stumbled around. Venturing back out into Lima was terrifying. The town had been decimated. We stuck in a tight group, jumpy and nervous.

Finn asked to go to his house first, to see if Kurt or his parents had surprised. We all agreed, seeing as it was closest, and Burt did have shotguns and ammo. So, for the first time since the outbreak, we were out in the world.
