Chapter 1: New Days

My name is Ned Smith, I'm 23 years old, and just started working as a Car salesmen. I was born in Atlanta Georgia, and just moved into my new apartment. So far my life is actually pretty good, don't exactly have all the bills payed yet, but its still pretty good. I'm going too see how my friend is doing over in Macon, Hope he hasn't gotten into any trouble the last time I saw him, Guess I'll find out soon enough.

On a Highway, Somewhere between Atlanta and Macon. Ned was driving in his SUV. Well he was driving he notices a couple of SWAT cars pass by on the road heading to Atlanta

Ned: Turns his attention to the SWAT cars Wonder where they're heading?

Ned Returns focus on the road. After a few minutes of driving, twice as many SWAT cars pass by, heading towards Atlanta

Ned: Turns to the Passing SWAT cars Strange.

Ned once again returns his attention to the Road. After a couple of minutes, double the SWAT cars drive pass Ned, heading towards Atlanta, with police helicopters following them

Ned: Turns his attention to the helicopters What the?

The SUV Ned was driving suddenly crashes into the back of a Car. The SUV's window breaks, and Ned hits his head on the steering wheel, only dazing him

Ned: groans in pain, well rubbing the spot of his head that hit the steering wheel What the fuck?

Ned Saw that there was a large line of traffic in-front of him, and he just ramped into a car in the back of the traffic. Ned examined the car in-front of him and saw that there was someone in the car in-front of him, and they weren't moving

Ned: Crap Gets out of his car and walks over to the car in-front of him

Ned saw that the person in-front of him was a man, he looked like he was only 18, but he couldn't tell if he was alright

Ned: knocking on the window hello, you alright?

The man gave no response and did not turned towards him

Ned: Opens the Car door Hey you oka-

the Man quickly turned to Ned and attempted to grab him, but was stuck in his seat belt. The man's eyes were plain white, and it looked like he suffered some neck damage. The man kept trying to grab Ned angrily

Ned: quietly and slowly What in gods name?

The seat belt suddenly broke and the man fell to the ground in a attempt to grab Ned. Ned tried to get away but the man had grappled his ankle and made him trip onto the ground. The Ned got on his back and began kicking the man off, but it barely slowed him down. When Ned kicked it one last time it finally let go. Ned started to crawl away trying to find something on the ground to use as a weapon, well the man crawled towards him. After a few feet of crawling backwards Ned found a large sharp piece of broken glass. He picked it up and stabbed it into the eye of his attacker. A splat of blood came out of the man's eye, as it fell to the ground, a pool of blood came from the man's head, it was darker then normal blood

Ned: panting what, the fuck, was that?

Ned got up and looked around the traffic, to see that there were people getting attacked by other people

Ned: What's going on?

As he looked around the chaos he heard moaning coming from behind, he turned around and saw another man with the same eyes as the one he had just killed, slowly limping towards him. The man had pale skin, and was reaching out with one arm well the other one hanged around. Ned started to look around for another weapon, seeing how he stabbed the piece of glass into the other man's eye. As the new attacker slowly walked towards him, Ned decided to turn tail and run, but when he turned around two more strange men were walking towards him, Both reaching out at him with both arms

Ned: Shit!

as the strange men continued walking slowly walked towards him, he kept looking around for a way out, but it was no use, there were only two ways out, and they were both being blocked by the strange men. Before they got any closer, the limping man was shot in the head

Ned: What?

a police officer was standing a few feet behind the now dead limping man. Ned simply stared at the man

Officer: Look out!

The officer Fired another shot hitting one of the two men in the head, and making him fall to the ground. Ned then turns around and stumbles back as the other man almost grabs him. The officer, once again fires his gun and only hits the man's shoulder, making the man stumble back and continue to walk towards Ned

Ned: Shoot it again!

Officer: Shut up!

the officer fires again, hitting the other man in the head. The man fell to the ground, a pool of blood surrounded the corpse. Ned simply stared at the dead, shocked

Officer: I know, terrifying right?

Ned: Yeah...what the fuck! Is going on here!

Officer: Lets just get out of here, I need to get to my wife, have a car?

Ned: Yeah, right here gestures to his crashed SUV

Officer: sigh crap, we need to find one.

Ned: Where's your wife exactly?

Officer: As soon as we get a car, I will tell you where.

Ned: Fine, but I won't be much help without a weapon.

Officer: Alright removes his knife holster and gives it to Ned

Ned: attaches the Holster on his belt then equips the knife thanks, lets get moving.
