Where Do We Go From Here

Well, here we are, finally my first story. Just so you know, I don't own The Last of Us, it's owned by Naughty Dog

Chapter 1: The Infection

When people told me the world had gone to hell, I'd expected terrorists. But nothing could have prepared this 17-year-old for THIS. I've pretty much played every zombie game out there, yet this is NOTHING like the opposite reality. I had always dreamed about what it would be like in a post-apocalyptic world. But now that I think about it, this place SUCKS! It all happened that fateful day; I'll never forget it…

- December 19th, 2013

We heard the explosion, but didn't realize what was going on. Little did we know that our small group of juniors would be thrown into this shit hole. No one knew what to say or do. But the day went on like normal. Having pushed that thought aside, we all thoroughly screwed ourselves. The infection spread faster than we expected. Either way, from Nevada to Pennsylvania in four days is a real feat for a horde of runners. Good job dick heads. Before we knew it, we had the lot of them banging on our door. Fortunately, I had grown up in the woods. Weapons had become my greatest ally, in a matter of seconds.

Well, now that the alibi is out of the way, we can get introductions in. I'm Trevor by the way, and the group that I mentioned earlier, was: me, my best friend James, Kaitlyn, Debra, Jessika, Rebecca, Ashlynn, and her boyfriend Bransin. We've all been together for about three years, bonded through the harsh hellhole we call home, but back to the story.

That fateful day, it was all over the news. Reports of "sick" people spread from that plant in Nevada. Once we heard that they were extremely aggressive. We knew what we were up against. We met at the school, and I gave them the run down.

"All right guys, depending on the genetic coding of the virus, we should be able to get to know our enemy better."

"But what are we going to do about supplies? How are we going to survive? What will we eat? What if one of us dies-" WHAM! I punch James in the jaw.

"We are NOT going to talk about dying! Now let me make one thing clear! We are going to do whatever it takes to survive! Now all of you stop talking about death! There's enough people who've died in the past three days, I DON'T need to mention that our parents are all dead, and that that horde is almost here, and we have less than a day to get ready!"

I stare around at the faces of my friends, all horror struck, and sad. Everyone's parents are either dead, lost, or one of those THINGS. Having grabbed as many guns; ammo; weapons; and food we could bring, we've got just about enough supplies to last us a week. Given that we stay low, and keep our noses clean, we should last through the initial horde. James, who I had just slugged in the jaw, has dark long hair, wears glasses, and is always wearing that Red Hawks jacket everywhere. As I pull him to his feet, and say my apologies, Jess speaks up.

"Uh, guys, I understand the situation and all, but what are we gonna do with three handguns, a revolver, 4 shotguns, 7 hinting rifles, and a shit ton of ammo for all but the handguns?"

Jessika is the girl with long dirty-blonde hair, the small build, glasses and that damn Pokémon shirt with the purple jacket. Really can't blame her for being optimistic, but at a time like this, it's really annoying.

"Well, what we're gonna do with them, is pass them out equally, based on our skills, and get the fuck out of here!"

"But where are we gonna go?"

That's Bransin, Ashlynn's boyfriend. He's got short brown hair, and one of the smartest people I know. Ashlynn is quiet, tall, and has long brown hair always thrown over her right shoulder. As I calm down, realization slaps me in the face, harder than I hit James. Soon, the panic starts to kick in as well, but I manage to force it down.

"All right, I don't know where we're gonna go, or what we're gonna do. What I DO know is that we're gonna find a suitable place to stay, so we can ride out the horde. Rule #1: stay away from populated areas. The school's gonna be one of the first places they hit, so let's get the hell outa here!"

As we distribute supplies, and gear up, off in the distance we can hear an almost inaudible sound. At once we know what's coming. And as the sounds of screaming people and infected grow louder, we realize that if we don't stay together, we're all going to end up like THAT.
