Left 4 Dead,
the Story so far...
Disclaimer: I do not own left 4 dead. That honour rests with valve. Now that the legal stuff is done, lets start the story.
Chapter One
The Uprising. (untold chapter)
The television was blaring, news was coming in about an unknown virus that was making people go crazy, attacking people like animals, and of the vacant expressions. There was also information about other more advanced beings, these creatures, while human in almost every way, had some sort of ability. There was Hunter, who was skilled at jumping, and pouncing people, there was Smoker, who had an especially long tongue which was used to ensnare the victims, and there was Boomer, who vomited on the victims and this seemed to attract a mob of the more common infected beings.
Strangely enough, the house was quiet, there wasn't a single movement, the house had been long since abandoned. The newsroom was one of the rare places in the city at the moment to which the infection hadn't spread. Outside, there were mobs of the infected, scouring the city for others in the hope of infecting them too. The infected, were in a more zombie-like state than being human, and it was in this way that they became dangerous. No-one knew how they became this way, but one things for sure, there's only ONE cure, Send in the four known people who are immune. Their names are Bill, an ex Vietnam sergeant, Zoey, a College girl who was saved, while running from a hunter, Francis, a biker who had managed to kill more of the infected so far than the rest of the survivors put together, and Louis, an IT technician.
To begin with, the four survivors just got on each others nerves. They couldn't agree on anything. Zoey, used to college, the good food and the company of people her own age, refused to adjust to trying to put up with these older people. Bill and Francis, mostly being used to living in wilderness found this slightly more relaxing than the lives they had been leading previously. Louis, trying to sympathise with everyone, always ended up getting yelled at and wishing that he hadn't said anything in the first place.
It was always a shock running into someone they knew before the infection, and most of them were covered in tumours which seemed to take over their minds, but not so much as to completely disfigure their looks, and so it was hard for the survivors to have to shoot who they had either grown up with, or known longer than they could remember.
Authors note, Relatively short first chapter and others will be longer, this one is just a basic introduction to the story and characters, although there will be a lot more in the future, this will eventually be following the campaigns though.
