-4 Years in the Future-

Diana was laughing as her twins toddlers ran away from a man who had black shoulder length hair with white highlights. He held a camera and was trying to get a picture of the toddlers as they played. Noticing that Diana was laughing, he turned the camera to her and started snapping pictures.

Diana didn't notice until she stopped laughing and quickly frowned at him. "Xavier, you better get that camera away from me or so help me!" She said while trying to reach for it.

"No, I want to document every little moment. It will allow the future children to see how their ancestors lived" Xavier said as he snapped another picture of Diana.

Diana rolled her eyes and pointed towards the two toddlers and the 6 year old who were playing a game.

"Then take the pictures of them. They are the future. I'm just part of a horrible past."

"The past may dictate who we are, but we get to determine what we become." He said as he turned to the three kids in the room. Raising the camera again, he moved toward them and attempted to capture the moment.

Diana pondered what he said and quickly pulled out her journal. Looking through it, she stopped at one of her entries.

Dear Journal,

This is hard. Living in this world is difficult. Today I learned that sometimes our past may be dirty but our future is spotless. A photographer taught me that. He was out taking pictures of the dead. Said he was capturing what would be historical events.

He says his name is Xavier, but to call him X. He was walking through the street and occasionally stopping to get a picture of something. I just stood there staring, completely confused. Then he noticed us, raised the camera he had, and snapped a picture.

Of us! All of us completely covered in blood!

Dusty flipped…. She hates pictures and the guy probably thought it would be a good idea to take one. She handed Elliot over to me and stomped over to him. She screamed…. and screamed… and i had to cover Elliot's ears when the profanities started…

In the end, I decided to stop her,, after the first few swears. I introduced myself to the guy and tried to calm Dusty down. Took a while. The guy look hesitant at first. like if he was trying to figure me out. He kept asking questions.

I just responded as well as I could. Before the undead arrived of course.. Dusty had screamed so loud it attracted a lot of the dead. We all tried to fight the ones close by, but then we realized we had to move away. So we ran. X stuck around after that.

He is nice, besides the constant picture taking.

On the other hand, I keep feeling sick. Dusty says she thinks she knows what it is. She won't say though. I just hate how she reminds me with a grin that i'm sick every time I am not thinking about my sickness.

Diana Faith

Diana looked up. She smiled at the children and stood up to stretch. As she walked over to the kids, she spoke to Xavier.

"I think it would be nice to get a family picture"

She picked up the little boy and grabbed the little girl, who then had her hand grabbed by the 6 year old.

"But not yet." Diana said as she walked out with the three kids.

-Present time ( Morning of Day 1)-

The alarm clock rang as a weary Xavier turned to turn it off. A soft knock was heard from outside the door before it slid open enough for a girl to pop her head into the room..

"X, I'm sorry to bother you. You have a call from Mr. Sierra." The small blonde girl said softly as she brushed her strawberry blonde hair out of her face.

Xavier had been giving her a death stare for disturbing him until she mention his publisher. Getting up quickly, he walked toward the door and opened it completely.

"Thank you, Roxanne. Do I have anything planned today?" He said as he walked toward his study. The girl pulled out a small notebook and flip through it.

"No, You have the day free. Unless Mr. Sierra is giving you a job." She said as they arrived to the study.

" Alright, thank you" He said to her before picking up the phone. She left the study with a nod.

Xavier took a deep breathe and put the phone to his ear.

"Hello"

"Good morning X. I have a job for you today." Said a deep voice from the phone

"What is this job, sir?"

"I need you to go and photograph a baseball team. They are meeting up in the local field and are said to be the next thing in the sport industry."

"Alright, sir" Xavier said before hanging up.

He walked out of the study and headed back to his room. As he arrived, he noticed that Roxanne had set out some clothing for him. He walked into the bathroom adjacent to his room and did everything he needed to do.

He quickly changed into his clothes which were a silver t-shirt, black jeans, sneakers, and gloves. Grabbing his camera, he made his way towards the kitchen. Sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea in hand was Roxanne. Her strawberry blonde hair was now tied up in a bun and she was wearing a business suit. Xavier sat down in front of a plate of pancakes with maple syrup and a cup of coffee. It was quiet as the two ate their breakfasts

Roxanne finished first a quickly washed up the plate she had toward Xavier, she quickly looked at her watch.

"Roxanne, I have a job today at the baseball field." Xavier said in between his last few bites.

The girl nodded her head and pulled out the small notebook. Writing down the job, she then looked up to see that Xavier was done. She quickly grabbed his plate and went to wash it

After a bit, she returned again to the table and looked at the time.

"X, When do you want to go?" She said.

" I think now would be good. Spend the morning there and take the afternoon off." He said as he got up and walked toward the small garage. He pressed a button to the side of a doorway and the garage door slowly started to open.

Roxanne followed him out and took a seat in the driver chair. She watched as he got in and then started to drive to the field.

When they arrived, Xavier got out and moved closer to the baseball players as he tried to snap good pictures. The manager walked up to him looking very angry.

"What do you think you are doing!?" The manager screamed at Xavier.

"All I was doing is getting the pictures for the next issue of Baseball Heights." Xavier said as he took a picture of the fuming manager.

The manager stomped back to his team. Xavier moved closer and took quick pictures. One of the players, the third fielder, saw what he was doing and called out to the manager. They seem to talk for a bit before the manager turned away and called out for a time out.

The third fielder made his way over to Xavier, smiling. As he got closer, he started to speak fast.

"My manager said you are from the Baseball Height magazine. I give you permission to take any picture of me."

The player grabbed Xavier and pulled him along towards the rest of the team. As they got closer, the player screamed over to his team mates,"Guys, and Rose, He's here for pictures. Let's get back to practice." The team all seemed to nod and as they passed by they said hello to Xavier.

As they practiced, a moan came from near the extra supplies. One of the players sitting at the bench, got up and headed toward the supplies to see what was the sound. A minute later a scream was heard from the player.

The other players that were sitting down, quickly got up and ran towards where their teammate had gone. Xavier turned to where they were and saw the first player reaching over to one of his first player grabbed his teammate and pulled the poor guy over, then took a bite out of the guy's neck. A scream rang out and the other players started to try to pull away their team mate. Xavier turned around and noticed a baseball bat laying on the bench. He quickly grabbed it and start to run back to his car.

In the car, Roxanne sat watching a movie. It was just getting to a scene where the main characters were about to kiss, when all of a sudden the back door opened.

"Drive Roxanne Drive!" Xavier said as he slammed the door.

The strawberry blonde quickly turned on the car and started to drive back to the house.

"X, what happened?" She asked as she turned a corner.

" The players… I saw one.." He said as he tried to calm down.

"The players?"

"One bit the other! and he was missing a piece of his stomach…" he said as he freaked out.

Roxanne looked through the car mirror back at her mentor and shook her head.

"We are almost home, X" She said as she turned to the right. A figure was stumbling around in the middle of the street and she swerved to not hit it.

As they arrived, Roxanne quickly opened the garage with a button and parked the car. She got out and ran into the house. Xavier got out of the car and pressed the button to close the garage door. A scream rang from the house and he quickly ran into it.

Roxanne laid on the ground pinned by one of the dead. Xavier quickly raise the bat still in his hand and swung it at the dead's head. The dead crashed to the ground and Roxanne quickly got up.

"Thank you!" She said as she held on to her arm. It was dripping blood all over the ground as she moved. She wrapped it in a handkerchief and turned to go up the stairs. Xavier followed her up and then made his way into his room. Looking around, he didn't see anything that would be useful and left the room. Roxanne sat in the hallway looking pale. In her hand was a Bow and an arrow scabbard filled with arrows.

The strawberry blond turned toward him and tried to get up. She got about half way when she started to vomit out blood. Xavier rushed to her and lower her back to the ground.

He could see that her eyes looked sort of foggy.

"Rox, stay down. I'm going to get you some water." he said as he went back into his room and into the bathroom.

As he filled up a bottle with water, a moan came from the doorway. Xavier turned to face the door and Roxanne was standing there. She was completely pale and her eyes were blanked out. She reach for him and he quickly raised the bat while taking a step back. She moved closer and he swung. She fell to the left and smacked her head on the toilet.

He poked her and waited to see if she would get up. When she did not, he snapped a picture using the camera hanging around his neck and made his way out of the bathroom. As he left his room, He notice the bow and arrow scabbard. He bent down, grabbed it, and put the scabbard hanging from his left shoulder. He then made his way downstairs.

On the ground near the garage door was the dead body. He raised the camera and snapped a picture, then walked away.

SO for some reason, I had such a difficult time writing this chapter. Something just kept me from writing what I wanted to. I wrote and then rewrote.

I would like to thank TigerMaster for Xavier. I got to say he was hard to write! But I did it!
