AN: I have been reading Walking Dead stories like crazy and I think it is time for my to try my hand at writing one. Please let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Walking Dead or any recognizable characters.
Chapter One
Whatever was going on started a few weeks ago. Small stories here and there about people going crazy and trying to eat each other. Stories like this came happened a few years ago, the whole bath salts incidents. Then people were just trying to scare each other. So, It originally was very easy to ignore the broadcasts. But we were wrong. So very wrong.
Things in the clinic have been going crazy all week. For a town with just over 5000 people we had seen almost every resident in the town throughout the week. Also, any of the people that they couldn't get into the hospital for the fever were routed to their small clinic. Emergency broadcasts has been airing all day telling people to stay indoors as long as it was safe, and if not to head to the safe zone.
They were doing the best they could until Dr. Anderson had been bitten. Alex could see in his eyes that he knew he was not going to make it. After a brief pause, the other two nurses jumped in to help to doctor restrain the biter. After the biter was restrained Dr. Anderson pulled everyone together for a staff meeting. He sent them home. It was not a surprise since most people had abandoned ship a few days ago when the news started broadcasting about a safe zone in Atlanta. Nurses Brad and Joy ran to grab their keys and left immediately.
Dr. Anderson went to check all the doors making sure that they were barred and locked. He stopped at the side entrance and noticed that Alexandria was still there. The only two people left in the building, that were not infected, were Alex and Dr. Anderson.
"Alex, take my keys and go." Began Dr. Anderson, "Go home and find your family. I am sure that things are only going to get worse. Be with your loved ones."
Alex took his words to heart and headed to the nurse's station to get her things when she began to hear the shots. Dr. Anderson was killing all the infected. She didn't waste any time grabbing her things and heading for the exit.
Placing her hand on the door handle, Alex prepared to go out into the chaos that had steadily been growing each day. That was when she noticed that the shots had stopped. She looked back and saw Dr. Anderson in the hall behind her.
"Remember, always aim for the head." Said Dr. Anderson before placing the barrel of his gun under his chin and firing the fatal shot to his own head.
Alex was alone in the clinic. Stealing herself she, once again, attempted to exit the building when her cell phone started ringing.
"Alex. Its me."
Relief rushed through her. Sergent Aiden Kendal, her older brother, was on the line.
"Aiden tell me what is going on! Are you okay? Have you heard from Jenny?" Asked Alex, voice filled with worry.
"Jenny is ok. I already spoke with her and Grandfather Wesson. We are all going to head to his compound."
Grandfather Wesson had always been a bit of a doomsday prepper. He had contacts all over the world and knew that something bad was coming over a year in advance and began working on a compound hidden in the woods of Canada.
"Jenny and her family are heading towards you. Once you meet up head to Atlanta. I will be waiting for you here. Phones are not going to work for much longer so get some walkies and radios. That will be the only way that we can communicate." Aiden warned as the line began to break up.
"Aiden I can barely hear you." I called into the phone.
"I will be on channel 40. I will wait around Atlanta for as long as I can before I have to leave, and head up so don't delay. Get whatever supplies you can before Jenny gets to you. Be safe and be quiet. I love y-"
That was it. Aiden was gone. No matter how many times she tried to redial his number the call would not go through. As much as she wanted to panic, Alex knew that she had to get a move on. Jenny's husband Morgan moved quick. He would not waste any time in getting to me so that we could get to safety. She needed to get a plan together and get supplies.
Please leave me a review and let me know what you think. Is this worth continuing? I am open to all feedback.
