A New Day: The Woods
Outside of Piedmont Fayette Hospital
There was Military Camp close to the hospital, there was many bodies outside but it wasn't done with patients yet. Axel parking the car other side of hospital so the military can't even see it. He get out the car and look around to see if Chris is here somewhere. Then he see him in the window on the third floor. He opened the window to talk Axel.
Chris: "Axel, thanks you have coming to help me."
Axel: "No problem, are you with your sister?"
Chris: "No, not yet. The Doctors have already "sold" all patients from the first and the second floor to the military. She is on the third floor and the military will take the patients from that floor soon."
Axel: "Is this something problem to get her out this place?"
Chris: "It seems like the soldiers guarding whole of parking from these monsters, but there is whole many windows of this building, like the soldiers can through a person walking inside on the hallway. They gonna alarm if they see a non-soldier. And that is the only way to my sister's room."
"Take it easy, buddy. It seems like i have learned little about these monsters."
"Really, i thought you don't like science."
"Are you done now, i'm seriously now."
"Sorry"
"These monsters seems like they walk when them hear a sound like a gunshot and then they walk to where the sound came from."
"Okay"
"Some buildings like police stations and hospitals have a own power generator, if we turn off the power and then hospital is everything dark inside so we can sneak in easily."
"That sounds reasonable, but what if that any of soldiers is going to turn on power again, what then?"
"Well that is gonna be intense, if we have lucky when we are hallway there is windows are while power is on again. Then we have to smashing many of windows possible we can."
"Hold down there minute, are you telling me that we are going make the windows to a dinner bell for those monsters?"
"Exactly if we are discovered, once the windows are crushed in the pieces it make a noise for these monster and when monsters shows up to the hospital, mostly of the military are not giving attention to us because they are busy with the monsters to protect this place."
"But we can't do that because there are other innocent patients. They are not deserves this if they are trap with those monsters in this hospital."
"I didn't say we are here to save just your sister, we are going to save so many possible too.
"Okay then, i think you going to shut down the power while i going to my sister and the other patients, i tell them that they going help to smash some windows if the powers return."
"Alright then, tell them to meet in this place too."
Chris nodded and shut the window and walk to the hallway. As Axel trying to find a backdoor. When he found the backdoor but it was guard by a soldier.
Axel: "Shit, now what?"
When Axel start to think how he going get to the backdoor without be seen by the soldier. Then a walker shows up from nowhere in the woods and walk to the soldier.
The Backdoor Soldier: "Aw shit, can't ever end this mess now."
The soldier go from the backdoor to the cellar that generator are. He was fifteen meters from the backdoor and Axel sneaking carefully without noise. Axel grip the handle of the backdoor as the soldier has firing on Walker from his gun with a Sound damper, he opened quickly but gently and the door and then closes.
The Cellar of the Hospital
Axel walking around in the dark hallway, it was so dark that can't even barely see but for him he see a power cable up on the wall. He follow that cable so he never be lost.
After almost a few minutes he found a room that there power generator are. He walking to close and look around where is something like a the main button or some lever to power on or off. Then he see a red lever in the power box.
Axel grip that lever.
Axel: "Here goes nothing."
He pull the lever down and all power have shut down in the Hospital.
The Third Floor of the Hospital
Chris hide behind edge of wall and look the hallway where they windows are that the soldiers can see through it.
Chris: "Hurry up now, Axel."
Then the lamps on the roof shut down and everything gets dark inside of the hospital.
"Great work, you tough son of bitch."
Chris sneaking in at the hallway and opened a door of patient room.
"Hello?"
There was a man who have wound on his right arm.
The Patient: "Who the hell are you and why are you doing here?"
Chris: "Relax man, me and a friend of me are going to help you and other patients, because the military are going to execute you."
The Patient: "I knew it that was something with the doctors what they up to after the military shows up."
Chris: "There is no time to explain, i need you to help me to warn they other patients."
The Patient: "With my pleasure, kid."
Chris: "And wait a second, have you a brown hair teenager with with a ponytail hairstyle, she is 10 years old and have a wound on her left leg."
The Patient: "I have a bad memory about people's face in this hospital, but i know one who you talking about. Cath, was it?"
Chris: "Yes, she's my little sister. You know which room she is?"
The Patient: "I think it was between 181-190 on the left at farthest in the hall. Go there now, i handle the rest then you take care over there."
Chris: "Thanks and you better be hurry now before the power returns."
Chris starting to run on farthest in the hall and turned left as he see rooms with a nameplate on the wall. He looking and reading the nameplate to the next and to the next. Until the room 188 with nameplate that it says: Catherine Carver.
Chris: "There she is."
Back to the cellar under the Hospital
Axel: "Okay then, time to..."
Axel was interrupted when he heard the door is opening. It was the soldier who guarding the backdoor and came to the generator to turn power up. Axel hiding somewhere from the power box. He grab a iron that there was among of other stuffs in a locker. When the soldier is going to turn back the power as Axel swing the iron and hit the solider's head. The soldier fell on the floor and fainted.
Axel: "I wouldn't do that if i were you."
Axel run out the outside then and get in a opened window on first floor. He see the soldiers walked past the corridor where he was hiding inside one of the patient rooms before walking up the stairs to the third floor. When he got to the third floor, he sees many patients around 50. He sees Chris together with a girl who can be 12 or 13 years. She has brown hair with a ponytail hairstyle.
Axel: "Great job, Chris. Hey Cath, how are you?"
Cath: "I fine, Dix. Thanks for you helping my bro to save me and the others."
Catherine usually call him "Dix" for shortening of his surname, Dixon.
Axel nodded and look at Chris.
Axel: "Let's get out of here befo..."
When Axel is going to finish the last word, the power turns back as they see the soldiers from the outside through the windows.
Chris: "Dammit! Everybody, throw some thing on the windows."
As Chris pick up a metal jar and throw it at the window but it didn't smash, just got a little crack.
The Patient: "It doesn't work in this way, these windows are so secure hard."
Chris and Axel are now screw up that its so pointless to break through it the windows, but Axel start to look the soldiers are prepare their weapons and aim at him and the others as he look around outside then he pick up his own pistol.
Chris: "Axel, the fuck are you doing?"
Axel: "EVERYBODY, DUCK AND THEN FOLLOW ME"
Everybody starting to duck meanwhile Axel aim his pistol against the windows and firing the pistol with a few shot. A window breaks into glass pieces, the gunshot scared soldiers as they start to firing back and they hit and break some few of windows. Axel starts to crawl on the floor to the stairs, the others crawled after him, some of them are long slow because of their wounded feet and arms.
When they got to the stairs, they heard some soldiers are coming up now.
Axel: "Fuck, they coming up!"
The Patient: "There is a downstairs over there to back of hospital."
Axel: "Great. It looks like the military has stop to try shooting at us because those monsters giving them busy right now."
They get to the door to the downstairs, they get down to the ground, there was a patient bus right next to the right from Axel's car. Patients went into the bus, the patient man are stand left and talk to the boys.
The Patient: "Hey, thank you for saving us, you there got almost us killed but that was smart. Stupid, but smart."
Axel: "Sorry for trouble, but it could be worst..."
"What the fuck was that for?!"
Someone yelling at the boys and the patient, it was the soldier who guarding the backdoor to the cellar as Axel aiming his pistol at him.
Axel: "Get back!"
Chris: "Cath, stay behind me."
The Soldier: "Who the fuck think you are doing?"
Axel: "You guys was going to execute patients with no reasons and no explanations."
The soldier glare at Axel then he saw patients in the bus. He pointing them with his gun as Axel got a panicked and firing his pistol at the soldier. BANG! The bullet hit on his face and fell down to the ground. Everyone just getting shocked about it and Axel too. The gunshot didn't just warn for those monster but the military too.
Axel: Oh shit, they found us! We have get out of here, right now!"
The Patient man: "Yeah, your right and thanks again."
Chris: "Come Cath!"
Axel, Chris and Cath went into Axel's car and drive away from the hospital as the patient bus did the same with theirs different destinations.
In the Car
Axel driving too fast on the road.
Axel: "Fuck, this is so fucked!"
Chris: "Why did you shot that soldier, what the hell was that?!"
Axel: "I didn't mean to do it, look i just got panicked when he pointing on the patients."
Chris: "Panic is your excuse? You could have shoot his legs or something like a not to kill."
Cath: Guys, stop fighting. I think i see a car right behind us."
There was a military car who driving to fast to get the car. Chat who sitting on the backseat, duck down to watch out from gunshot.
Axel: "Oh shit, how'd the hell they catch up to us?"
The Soldiers from the military car start to shot the car.
Axel take his pistol and hand over to Chris as he have learned to wear a gun which belongs to his father.
Axel: "Here, take it and shot."
Chris take it no doubt that and leans out the window after having opened, he aims the gun at the military car and shoot. After a few shots, he managed to hit the car's right front tire which makes military vehicle running awry and crunched straight against a tree when it ran off the road.
Chris is getting shocked over that crashed.
Axel: "What was that, i didn't saw it on the back mirror. Chris, say something."
Chris: "They crashed. I'd think i must hit the tire of the car."
Axel: "No shit!"
Cath: "Are they coming more of them?"
Axel: "No, i don't think so, the rest of them are to busy to clean up this mess."
Cath: "Those "monsters" you mentioned, what are kind are they?"
Chris: "I don't know, i only saw them on the TV back in the high school and little more of them when i was went to the hospital."
Axel: "I think those things was people before. I saw one of my drug dealers friends came back he was shot at his he-"
Chris: "Axel!"
Axel: "Sorry, those monsters are trying to get us, people and eating us."
Cath: "That's sound sick."
Chris: "Yeah, i mean it's not like from any movies or sort of mythology."
Axel: "Whatever they are. We have to get our homes, to our families."
Chris: "Yeah, your right. I just can't believe it why the military going to kill wounded patients."
Axel: "Probably because of the virus, they believe it the virus comes from every hospitals, i think."
Cath: "Are we sick?"
Axel: "No, we are not."
Chris: "How can you be sure of that?"
Axel: "The Drug dealer that i mentioned had a bite on his arm, his friend told me he was attacked by one of these things. After he got shot and died, he came back as a one of those monsters."
Chris: "So it is the bite that how we turn to one of those things?"
Axel: "Probably."
Carvers House
It's been over night and already at the clock four. Two Carvers and a Dixon stays in the Carvers house. The parents is out where to look the others of their family.
Axel: "Okay, i be right there after six, Therese."
Axel shot the call and put his phone in the pocket as he see Chris just seating on the chair. Cath have take a little nap in her room. Axel take a seat on a another chair next to Chris.
Axel: "Hey, are you okay?"
Chris didn't answer instead he pulled away his shirt from his shoulders, showing he was shot in his left shoulder.
Axel: "What the hell."
Chris: "It's happened back in the hospital, at windows. I didn't even notice but i felt just a little bit."
Axel: "My god, i'm so sorry i get you be shot."
Chris: "No, it's alright. It could be worst if you have never firing your pistol."
Axel: "I did it because to make a panic to the soldiers so they shooting at us while they hit and break some windows for us."
Chris: "Like that patient man told you that, it was stupid but still smart."
Axel and Chris laughing a little together about that comment. Then they are calm down.
Chris: "So how is going with that deal?"
Axel: "It doesn't matter anymore when this shit started plus the last person on my list have send a assassin to execute me and the other drug dealers, but the cops caught us. But then those things show up and i got away."
Chris: "So after this mess ending, we can go back now what it was before your mother's death."
Axel just look at Chris with glare when his friend mentioned about his mother.
Chris: "I'm sorry, i shouldn't..."
Axel: "It's okay, just i don't want hear about her now."
Chris: "Okay."
The boys just be quiet for a minute.
Chris: "I was kind a little lonely because once i got out and still see me as..."
Axel: "A week ago, there was a girl who have that eye just like yours but little different and makes me jealous because i wish have that eye to be like i am tough bastard. The girl was bullied by some of five teenagers. I defending her from them, i almost going to hit some more to their leader just like what i did to Amanda but i didn't. And i realized that your are not the only one who suffered like this all over the world."
Chris: "I guess you have some point there."
Axel: "Of course i have, but i realized there is some people like Amanda i'm afraid."
Chris: "I don't have much problem with her no more. I can handle myself."
Axel: "Yeah you do, but i guess Davie will still believe that you are what he calls you for last month ago."
When Chris would reply back, the boys heard someone or some screaming. It was the neighbors, when Axel and Chris got up from the chairs and looking out of the window. They see the military starting evacuate the people to nowhere. The Soldiers are going to the next the Carvers house.
Axel: "Oh shit, they're coming. I don't think we will get to my car."
Chris just looking down and thinking about that wounded on his left shoulder it makes him slowing for the escape, he doesn't want get his sister to be found by the soldiers. Not after the hospital.
Chris: "Axel, listing to me. You and Cath have to get out of here. I get them distraction."
Axel: "What the fuck are you saying? It's gonna be suicide if they see you like this with your wounded shoulder.
Chris just ignored him and go to Cath's room.
Chris: "Cath, put on your clothes and pack some stuff now, no more questions."
Axel: "Chris! I can't just left you behind, especially Cath wouldn't do it."
Chris: "I'm sorry, but i'm just going to slow you two down when we trying to escape from plus somebody must give them attention, that would be me i'm afraid."
Axel getting be little angry at Chris's idea but then he got some point there. Axel sinking his head down now and look at Chris now.
Axel: "Don't die."
Cath: "What the hell is going on?"
Chris: "Cath! Look sis, the soldiers is back and i don't know what's gonna happened when they see you. After the hospital, i can't let you go with the military. You have to go with Axel, you be safe with him and listen to him."
Cath starting to cry little as Chris did same
Cath: "NO, no. Why can't you just coming with us, please?"
Chris: "Because someone must stay here and giving them attention so they get not notice by you and Axel. Please Cath, just listing to me. You be fine with Axel. This is not gonna be farewell between us. We will meet again with our parents and our-..."
The military starting kicking the door.
Axel: "They are here! Come kid, we have to go now."
Axel grape Cath and run to the backdoor as Chris is prepared to talk and distract the soldier. Axel run as he care Cath and climbing over the fence of the yard and run into the woods.
On the Road
Axel still running as he care Cath and then trough of the woods they came to the road. And Axel put Cath down to the ground.
Cath: "Why the hell are you thinking, we could have get out all of us three!"
Axel: "Cath, i know how you feel, me too. But that was Chris want, i wish i should be the one who stay back there but Chris couldn't because he couldn't carrying you."
Cath: "What do you mean he can't?"
Axel: "He got shot at his left shoulder back in the hospital, at the hallway."
Cath: "Oh my god, Chris."
Axel and Cath are standing in the road so quietly. But something came from nowhere and try to get Cath.
Axel: "Cath!"
The person was quite ugly because his skin was rotten and gray. His eyes were as white as milk-paint. He tried to take Cath but Axel came so fast and grip at all the person to the ground and hit his face but it seems that the person did not feel the pain of the fist and did not seem care about it. The person grasps a time axis and trying to bite him, but Axel fighting back by shaking him. Axel grabs a rock and smash the person's head and again and again. And then Axel stops when he see that person stops moving. He stands up.
Cath: "What the hell happened with him?"
Axel: "It was one of those monsters. I guess the only way to finish them to destroy the brain."
Cath: "Oh, i feel sick now. Well thanks you for saving me, Dix."
Axel: "Well your welco..."
Axel was interrupted because he sees a red pickup driving down the road as he steps on to the road and waves at the truck. The truck stops next to them and the driver gets out, which was a teenage boy dress in green button-up shirt and brown pants with short black hair, named Shawn Greene.
Shawn: "Hey, are you two need help?"
Axel: "Well if it doesn't bother you"
Shawn: "No, don't worry about it and i take it you there have took down one of those creepy-crawlies that have been showing up everywhere, right?
Cath: "Well, kind it."
Shawn: "Well, my name's Shawn. Shawn Greene."
Cath: "I'm Catherine Carver, but you can call me Cath."
Axel: "And i'm Axel Dixon. Listen, can you give us a lift, please. Cath have a wounded on her leg and it's almost healed but she need rest in a safe place."
Shawn: "Yeah, no problem. But your two are not sibling, right?"
Axel: "No, She's sister of my best friend, i promise him to look after her. We already left him behind because we can't let her be with the military. Look i can explain later, right."
Shawn: "Oh, okay, I get ya. Where're you guys headed?"
Axel: "To Macon there i live. But Cath need to relax her legs a day i think."
Shawn: "Well, I was actually heading back to my family's farm from Atlanta. If you want, I can-"
Axel: "Thank you, we appreciate it."
Shawn: "Okay, but I'm pretty sure that my dad, Hershel, won't let you guys stay there for long."
Cath: "Why not?"
Shawn: "Let's just say he has a thing about strangers overstaying their welcome on his farm."
Axel: "It's okay, we need stay just a night if your dad think is it alright."
Cath: "Uh guys?"
Axel and Shawn look at Cath and sees more of the undead people coming to the road from the woods behind Shaw's truck.
Axel: "Oh shit!"
Shawn: "I think now's a good time for us to get outta here."
Cath: "Your right."
Shawn, Axel and Cath hurry inside the truck; Shawn gets the engine on and drives them all away from the monsters.
In The Woods
Back the crashed cop car
Lee was now waking up from the accident he got into with the police officer. The last thing he heard before completely passing out was a couple of bangs and someone yelling, possibly for help.
Lee: "Ohh… ugh, ow! Shit."
He sits up, looks at his wrists and sees that the handcuffs were still on. Then he see his right leg wounded from car accident.
Lee: "Thirsty… Agh! Fuck! My leg."
He looks at the front of the car and there was nothing there except broken glass and blood. He turns around and sees the police officer lying on the ground out the window.
Lee: "Hey! Hey, officer! Are you all right? I'm still cuffed back here!
But the officer doesn't moved and Lee saw the blood trail that lead from the police car to the officer. Lee try to call out to the officer again.
Lee: "OFFICER?!...That doesn't look good. He wasn't ejected from the car."
And Lee is also curious why his shotgun was also on the ground.
Lee: "Why the hell did he have his gun out?"
Then begins Lee turn straight towards the car window and start kicking it, after four times, it was broken out. He begins to drag himself a bit to the window and begin to haul out and then fell to the ground. When he tried standing up, he ends up leaning against the wrecked cruiser due to the steep hill he was on. He moves alongside the car until he was on the other side, pushed himself off the cruiser. Lee then turns his attention to the police officer.
Lee: "Officer?"
He limps to him until he was standing over him. After examining the old cop again, the man came to the conclusion that he was dead.
Lee: "Goddamn…"
He sees a set of keys on the dead cop's belt, bends over and takes them. When he tried to unlock the cuffs, the key slipped out from his hand and fell next to the officer's face.
Lee: "Shit."
He bends over again and snatches the keys from the ground. He tries unlocking the cuffs again and manages to get one off and then other off. He drops the keys and rubs his wrist. But then, he notices the old cop twitch a little bit and moaning.
Lee: "Uh… officer?"
Suddenly, the police officer lunged for him, causing him to fall backwards and was terrified to see him abruptly come back to life.
Lee: "Ah, ah! Holy shit!"
The man started backing up to get away from the old cop. When he looked at his face, he saw that his eyes and skin were decayed, his mouth and clothes were bloody and was snarling as he was using his arms to crawl at Lee.
Lee: "What in the hell?!"
He keeps trying to get away from the monster until he backed all the way up to the side of the cruiser and was trapped.
Lee: "Get away from me!"
He sees the shotgun on his left, grabs it and try to shoot at the officer but it was empty. Then Lee see a shotgun shell on his right, he pick it up and tries to load it into the shotgun. But because his hands were trembling, the shell slips off and lands on the grass.
Lee: "Shit!"
He quickly picks it up again and manages to load it into the shotgun, pumps it ready and takes aim at the undead cop in front of him.
Lee: "Don't make me do this!"
But the officer still crawl towards Lee, as he pulled the trigger and shot the officer. It's blowing off half of its face and it finally stopped moving. Then Lee looks at the weapon in his hands for a moment, throws it to the side after shaking his head, and then looks at the corpse in front of him.
Lee: "Man… his skin is all rotten and he smells like shit. What the hell is this?"
He looks up and sees a mysterious figure up on the top of a hill from across the forest. He squints and makes it out to be a little girl. He call out to her.
Lee: "HELP! Go get someone! There- there's been a shooting!"
As Lee try get some attention to the little girl, she runs away.
But then, Lee hears rustling, looks around him and sees two more undead people coming after him. He brings himself onto his feet and tries to get away, but trips over the old cop's body in the process. He gets back up to his feet, and stumbles away from the monsters as fast as he could to get to the top of the hill. As he kept moving, he glances to the left and sees more of them coming after him. He wounded leg causes him trip and fall again. The zombie-looking people began surrounding him from all directions and Lee crawls up the hill to get away from them. He reaches the top of the hill, gets back on his feet and stumbles toward a wooden fence, which seemed to be his only chance of escape, he hops over the fence and falls backwards into a backyard.
