Chapter 2- The Outbreak

Happy Halloween everybody, to celebrate the occasion I bring y'all the second chapter (hope y'all like it)

Author note- I don't own the walking dead (but I own my character)

After Rafael grabbed his backpack he started running, because he didn't know were to run he decided to go were the other panicked people were heading (out of the city), but besides the escaping people, he saw things that he could swear he had seen on resident evil (the second and third one). There was people abandoning their own cars, he saw cars burning, he could hear gunshots, police sirens, people screaming and crying (people were just running for their lives) and he could swear that he a police helicopter, and he know that was a bad sign. But the worst thing that he saw was the thing people were running from.

They were running from those humanoid like creatures that eat people, but it was not just one or two it was a HORDE of them, they were slowly approaching the people running and police officers who were trying to control the situation (witch was just delaying the inevitable). Rafael didn't look back he just kept running to the city's exit.

After what it seemed to be an eternity, Rafael finally managed to get to the city's exit (He knew it was the exit because he saw a sign saying it) he also saw some people rounding up there, so that was a good sign, he decided to join them and try to comprehend what just happened.

He decided to talk to a woman who had long black hair and had a little boy right next to her (possibly her son). He approached the woman "Excuse me madam, can you tell me your name".

The woman looked at him confused for a second, but when she realized that he was a scout, that seemed to calm her up.

She finally answered "My name is Lori Grimes, do you need anything?".

The little boy looked at Rafael curious "Mommy who's the police officer?" the little boy asked. Rafael chuckled at the question, he looked to the boy "What´s your name kid?".

"My name is Carl" he said introducing himself.

"Well Carl" He said smiling "I'm not a police officer, I'm a scout, you know, those guys who go camping, learn survival skills and sell cookies" He explain.

"Cool!" Carl exclaimed.

But then Lori decided to interfere on the conversation "Weren't you gonna ask me something2 She said raising a brow.

Rafael lifted his head realizing that he was gonna ask something "oh yeah I was, do you have any idea what's going on?"

Lori shook her head "I have no idea, but I have a friend that might know, he's a cop" she explined

"Really, can I see him?" he asked.

"Sure follow me." Lori said. And so the triple went to a guy who was wearing a police officer jacked and a cap.

The man notice them, Lori was the first one to speak "Shane there´s a scout here that needs your help".

The cop named Shane looked at Rafael "a scout?, haven't seen one in a while." he said smilling, for a second he inspected Rafael's scout uniform "I see your from Portugal, were you here for the Jamboree?" he asked (Author note- on the scout uniform there are badges that tell you witch country are you from) .

"Yeah I came to this country for that, and before you ask, I don't know were the rest of the scouts are, they just run away and left me behind, right now I'm by myself, but enough about me, do you know what´s going on?" He finally asked

Shane scratched his chin "There were some news talking about something big going on the hospitals, something that the news reporter said "it could end humanity has we know it" obviously I thought it was some sort of joke, but then it really happened" he stooped for a moment "These monsters you just saw back at the city, they break out of the hospital and started killing people… that's were I lost my buddy." Shane finally said.

Lori realized what he was talking about "Hey Carl why don't we go see if Sophia wants to play, and we let Shane talk with the scout?" Carl nodded and they got away.

Rafael looked at Shane confused "What was that?"

Shane answered with a frown "My buddy was her husband." he started explaining "His name was Rick Grimes, he got on a coma when he got shot, and then this happened… there's no way he could of survived."

Rafael understood what happened "I'm sorry for your lost.", but he realized something "Do you think there's a way that I can get a plane and go to Portugal?" He asked.

Shane shook his head "Sorry kid but all the airports are closed."

This was exactly what Rafael feared he was stuck in America (no way out) separated from Europe by the Atlantic, if he couldn't fly to Portugal, he obviously could't swim to his destination… or could he?

Rafael then had an idea, if he couldn't get on a plane, then maybe he could find a boat and get to Portugal. "Wait a minute, Shane do you think that the docks are closed?" he asked.

"Why you think you can get a boat?" He asked.

"It´s the only chance I got to get to my country, do you know were I can find any docks?" Rafael asked.

Shane thought about that for a moment "There are some docks in Savannah, do you have a map kid?" He asked.

Rafael nodded and took of his backpack a map of the USA. "So, if you go straight on this road you'll get to Macon and then when you get there he follow another straight road and that gets you to Savannah, it should take you at least 1 week on foot." Shane explained.

"That´s good enough plan for me" he said adjusting his backpack "Even if there are no boats, it's worth a try."

But before Rafael could start his journey he was stopped by Shane "Before you go there are things you must know about these creatures" He said "Those things are people who came back from the dead, if you get bitten you die and then you become like one of them, the only way to stop them is either shoot them or stab them in the head." Shane explained.

"Thank you for the information my friend, I hope you can take care of Lori and Carl" Rafael said before he started walking.

But before he could begin his walk Shane had one more question, "You haven't told me your name."

Rafael stopped "My name is Rafael de Oliveira"

"Well I hope you can find your way back home" Shane finally said before letting him go.

Rafael thanked Shane one last time before finally start his journey to Savannah.

He was ready to defeat all obstacles that he could encounter in this new world.

So that was chapter 2 (Leave a review).
