THE WALKING DEAD A NEW END
Chapter 1: Starting Over
I was walking down the street of the big apple trying to get to my apartment, I tend not to get anything expensive even though I have a high salery as a doctor I like to stay under the radar. After a almost 20 mile walk I got a phone call from my nurse, she sounded out of breath and there was alot of commotion in the back round.
"Charlie! Are you there!?" she was screaming at me.
"Uh, yea. Whats that noise in the ba-"
"No time to talk. You need to get out of the city right now, you hear me!"
Before I could ask anything else I heard a man scream and a huge slam, I think she had dropped her phone. At that point I was confused on what was happening and a little flustered, so I did something a little drastic, "Shit why am I doing this?" I started to run down the sidewalk to the hospital. I had to figure out what was happening, but I got stopped right in my tracks when I lost balance and fell to the ground. A sudden intance rumbling had knocked me off my feet and put me to the ground, but I didn't have time to think because a second later a ear-shattering sound came stright through my head.
The rumbling had stopped after a few seconds, but my ear's were still ringing and I was a little dizzy but got to my feet. My vision was blurry when I looked up, but I could see smoke coming from the hospital was it an explsion? After a While I started to get to my senses, there were people all around me screaming or starring at the smoke lingering next to the hospital. At that moment I relized that I was just standing around gawking at the smoke.
"What the hell am I doing I need to get to the hospital! Idiot!" I didn't waste another moment.
I was almost there when I saw people running and driving away from the hospital, I tryed looking out for anyone I might recognize but I couldn't find anyone. After dodgeing a few cars and poeple a had finaly made it to the hospital, the whole street was empty, no one was here, and it looked like the police had not arrived yet. I was on the other side of the street looking into the entrance and realized that the power was out, but the sunlight was keeping it a little lit inside.
There were 28 stories to this building and my office was on the 14th floor, I had to at least figure out what had happened here. I decided that it would be best just to go in before the police came and when they do to slip out the back, I started to walk in through the lobby. At first there was nothing diffrent, then agian it was very dark so I could barely see anything, I started toward the lobby desks past the chairs. When I got there the first thing I saw was a bloody mess but no body, I realized then that I had stepped on something liquid like and was making tracks.
I opened the hatch to get to the other side of the lobby desk and closed the hatch behind me, then guided my hand to the first drawer and pulled it open. I reached in and tryed to feel around, the sunlight that was coming into the lobby didn't reach the first two drawers so I had to feel around. I felt a few sharp objects poking me, but it just turned out to be pens, so I took out my hand and went to the next drawer and pulled it out.
As I put my hand in there the first thing I felt was something rugged, I think it was bandages and next to that more pens and paper. I then stepped into the sunlight where one of the drawers were and pulled it open, "Finally found it." I took out the flashlight that was kept in the drawer and turned to the hatch. I then started to walk toward it when I heard a scream from above me and then after that loud footsteps following, it sounded like a few floors up. I opened the hatch and ran to the right of the room where the entrance to the main building was, a long hallway greeted me.
At the end of the hallway there was an elevator and next to that was stairs that would bring me up a few floors. There were no windows in the hallway so there was no light, I pulled out the flashlight and turned it on. I shined the light around and I saw blood splatters on the walls, I started down the hall slowly trying to comprehend all the blood. I had gotten to another hallway leading to more patiant rooms and at the start of that hallway I saw someone on the floor not moving. I quickly ran over to the person's positon and kneeled down next to what seemed like a male, there was a pool of blood to the male's left side. I was kneeled on the right side of the man so that I could flip him over to his back.
I put my right hand on his left shoulder and my left hand on his left leg and pulled him over. There was a huge opening in his stomch and some of his organs were missing, there was a blood trail leading to the end of the hall, I nearly almost puked. I honestly did not want to follow that trail, so I turned around and started back for the elevator. I started walking through the hall and past a few rooms, I didn't dare look into any of them.
I had finally made it to the elevator and the door to the stairs was to my right, I reached for the push nob on the door but it wouldn't open. "Its fucking locked!? dammit!" as I stood there I relized that if I'm going to do this I'm going to have to make some noise. I took 2 steps back and charged at the door making a hefty loud metallic sound, then without a minute passing I rammed at the door 2 more times making even louder noise. I decided to take 4 steps back in sted, by then my right shoulder and arm was getting bruised. I aimed my body at the door and sprinnted into it when it finally opened and I fell to the ground in the door way.
I just wallowed there for a minute on the ground trying to get used to the pain in my shoulder, a moment later I pulled myself up. Suddenly I heard echoing footsteps coming from behind me I was afriad it was going to be the police, what would they do to me if they found me here. "I didn't do anything I swear it!" I said in a deep vioce, but there was no answer just footsteps. Thats when I relized that the footsteps were slow almost like a drag, a cop wouldn't drag his feet in a situation like this.
I turned around slowly and in the dark saw a human figure walking toward me, I slowly raised my flashlight to see who it was. "Hello, who is that?!" there was still nothing but the eari sound of footsteps, I then got a look at his feet so I could see how far he was. He had just turned to face me and was still at the start of the hall where I found that corpse, I had raised my flashlight to his waist and stopped. "I know you're there, speak!" I had raised the flashlight to the person's stomch when I saw a hole in it with blood pouring out and the organs missing.I couldn't even move, frozen in place I couldn't look away from him
"Your dead h-h-how are y-you."
I was shaking and he was getting closer. He was inches away when he tossed himself at me, suddenly I could move again and tossed him to the ground while he had a hold of me. As I watched him try to get up he seemed like he was struggling, I then turned to the broken down door and ran for it then I closed it behind me as soon as I got there.
As I stood there leaning on the locked door combrehending what was happening, that thing was banging on the door like it didn't know how to opperate it. I waited there to try and catch my breath, but after a few echoing bangs later it sounded like another arrived and was banging at the door too. I sat there for a few more minutes when I decided to not stay there any more and wait for more to come, so I got up shook it off and started up the stairs.
