2015-now

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

zarth- “God damn i hate school” he mutters to himself as he walks down the middle school hallway. 

sophia- “Come on, lighten up, it’s Friday, soon it'll be the weekend!” The main character's friend says as she skips down the hallway next to him. They both go into social studies class and sit next to each other as the teacher talks about the lesson.  then forty-three minutes into the class. 

Mrs. glarn- “so do we all understand how an imperati-“ BAM she was cut off by the door coming off the hinges of the classroom and slamming onto the floor with a loud band and wile everyone turns their heads a man rushes into the room to fast to make out any distinct features but there was one thing that the zarth  saw… danger he then immediately got up. All he knew was something wasn't right and he was in danger so he yelled. 

zarth- “FUCK THIS SHIT IM OUT” he says as he pulls up his friend by force in panic. He doesn't even know what's about to happen but in his head he doesn't want to find out. He thinks “the fuck is going on i need to get the fuck out of here, time to run. Not the door it came from that the windows are too tight a fit. The emergency escape window is the only bet so rip ass towards it.” and in a matter of seconds before his friend could speak he had a plan.

sophia- “wh-what!?” She says as she is pulled up and panicking over his quick strange actions but before she can say anything she sees the teacher on the floor with the front of her left eye fully ripped out and a good amount of skin and flesh gone from her head as well. she reaching for help from anyone that can as a man is ripping her guts out of her lower stomach with one hand in his mouth just fully focused on one thing… Eating… 

zarth- “I SAID MOVE YOUR DUMBASS” he yells at his friend as he drags her to the right side of the room away from the door 

sophia- she is just silent and horrified at what she saw happening to the teacher. She didn't like the teacher but this was horrible. She was frozen in fear and was just shocked.  She just gets dragged to the windows by the main character. 

zarth- “ITS GETTING THE FUCK UP MOVE YOUR ASS OUT THE DAMN WINDOW!” He yelled as he literally threw the girl out of the emergency escape window in the corner of the room as the man in a blood stained blue flannel with cargo pants and leather shoes gets up and looks towards all the panicking and running middle schoolers and starts tearing them to shreds one by one, first janice by ripping a large portion of skin off of her skull as it chomps down on her shoulder and yanking she was in immense pain not dead. So he then put his hand into her ribcage and ripped her heart from her chest. It had killed her in a matter of seconds and then move onto another, margret was killed by the infected man throwing her head left as it obliterated her neck with its ravenously sharp teeth then ripping her head from her shoulders and drinking from her neck still slightly attached to her head then dropping her to the floor. It continued to rip through the mindless children that had no idea what to do as zarth jumped out the window and looked around for his friend. 

Sophia- “w-what was that?” she asks, leaning against the wall below the window as he sighs a sigh of relief at seeing her unharmed. but  She looks very shocked and traumatized from the events that had unfolded in front of her. After all, her own teacher and some friends had just been killed brutally right in front of her and she was too scared to stop it.

Zarth- “no idea fight or flight or whatever the fuck kicked in and i just took your ass out of there. Honestly I'm too much a pussy to look at what happened because I'd end up like you… we should go before that thing does too much.” hew had to admit as he pulled her to her feet off the wall of the school under the window they had left out of the air still filled with screams of kids, some friends some not. 

Sophia- “so you didn't see-” she was cut off by zarth as he stated in a loud firm voice

Zarth- “don't finish that sentence i really don't wanna be scarred for life yet let's wait until later when it's safe to process all the details.its not safe here to be frozen in terror and the way i work i know i would be if i knew what had happened to all of them” he stated as he started to walk with her away from the school looking around making sure to avoid any of the few weird looking people walking the streets and the occasional dead man being eaten or woman trapped in a car. But it's all the same to him… it's all the end. He just has to prove his worth over all the others to live long enough to actually accomplish anything. 

2025-10 years later

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zarth- “it's been 5 five years since I saw her… im so damn lonely. Nobody wants to band together with me. It's bandit this, or murderer that. I do what I need to do to survive, you get it dont you?” zarth says to a zombie that is trapped under him as he just sits on it with the zombie being armless it poses little threat leaving it squirming around under him. It just snarls and screams while they sit there. “Damn you're not talkative either, just like the other zombies I try to speak to maybe one day... I'm so hopeless I gotta talk to the dead to stay even a little sane.” he chuckles after he says this. Not out of joy but out of despair about his situation.he then stabs the back of the zombies neck with his pocket knife severing the spine leading to the head leading to instant death. It just lays under him now. Dead, quiet, and free at least free from its life as a zombie. Zarth then gets up and walks away down the street of the small broken down town searching, Not for food or people… but for himself. He walks upon a small camp that seems to have been raided but not recently so he then walks in.

???- “finally!” there is a feminine voice that yells out and zarth suddenly stiffens and draws his glock with a suppressor on it. Then there are some rustling noises coming from where the voice came from. Out from behind one of the tents steps out a beautiful woman with a brown trenchcoat and worn jeans on with smooth black hair that runs to half way down her torso. She notices zarth with his glock pointed at her and she freezes up and looks scared.

???- “w-woah! We can talk about this can't we!? I mean no harm and all I have is one bottle of water and stale crackers!” She blurts out to try to bargain for her life so she doesn’t die by the hand of a stranger. 

Zarth- “who are you, what do you want, who else are you with, and how many are there?” he asks firmly with a no nonsense tone making it clear he will not be up for small talk or stalling.

???- “o-oh well i'm margret, nice to meet you i travel alone so im sorry but it's nice to meet y-” she is cut off by the sound of a suppressed gunshot as he had fired at her hitting her in the stomach region and he shoots her two more times to make sure landing in the left side of her neck and in her leg. She lands on the ground facing down to the floor with a shocked expression as she had just been shot. All she could say was, “h-how did you-...” she bled out of the floor before she could finish leaving her in a big puddle of blood in the middle of the seemingly empty camp.

Zarth- “i need to get the fuck out of here.” he says as he turns to run in the opposite direction but he is met with the sight of two men that are bulky one with an ak-47 and the other with a metal bat. He turns and then sees another two men scowling as they were closer than the other two most likely to use their daggers and riot shield and police baton. Zarth then looks panicked as he runs into one of the tents and yells out to them.

Zarth- “HEY WE CAN TALK THIS OUT, I DONT GOT ANY MORE BULLETS BUT I GOT SHIT TO TRADE!” he yells out to them to hopefully save himself with a worried tone in his voice.

Man with daggers- “YOU THINK THAT YOU WILL BE SAVED BY TRADING AFTER YOU KILLED OUR BAIT!?” he says as he starts to raise the entrance of the tent with his hand with the dagger still in his hand. He then quickly falls to the ground as zarth quickly turns the dagger towards the man and puts it deep into his neck, skimming him but getting deep enough to kill him almost instantly. But when zarth looks down his face pales… It was a recognized man. Not just any recognized guy though. It was his teacher from ten years ago. It was mr. darm with the same blood stained blue flannel with cargo pants and leather shoes all torn and worn like they were used for years… it was. No he had no time to think about it, he had to focus on surviving. Then a man rushes at him with a metal bat raised ready to knock zarth out within seconds but darth doesn't have any time to think to react he just raised his right arm to block it and with a sickening crunch his arm feels broken and it hurts like hell but this ain't time to feel pain. The adrenaline was doing its job stopping every bit of pain as zarth then grabs him by the throat and slams his head onto his own head with the two colliding focus going fast at each other his nose breaks splashing blood all over the mans face making him blink a lot and as he does this zarth takes one of the daggers and stabs it deep between his eyes making him drop onto the ground with his buddy. Zarth instantly backs away from the entrance and then bullets start flying through the tent as zarth gets down another guy pops in and zarth pops him in the head with his glock obviously lying about not having any more ammo. Then the sound of a body hitting the floor fills his ears as he instantly whips that direction to see but he is met with the side of the tent. 

Zarth- “what's going on out there why did u stop shooting?” He calls out to the last man with the ak-47 and is met with silence but then footsteps come towards the tent and then heads towards the entrance of the tent. He thinks “too smart to be a zombie” and then just gets ready for a fight and then the plastic flaps of the tent open and it was her… 

 Sophia- “hey idiot” she says pointing the ak-47 at him with a cold glare but on zarths face its immense happiness as he sees her not even realizing the ak-47 pointed at him as he steps towards her like he is in a trance of happiness. He just keeps stepping forward but then she shoots at him and says “hey not another step idiot.”

Zarth- “wh-what? Sophia why we haven't seen each other for years why so co-” she cuts him off still maintaining the cold glare not lowering her gun from him as she says with an emotionless voice. 

Sophia- “I don't know who you are so dont act like you know me. And how do you know that name?” she asks as she steps back and doesn't take her sight off him for even a second as she looks slightly interested in how he knows her. She then adds, “I haven't gone by the name for many years. So I don't know how you know the name but if I don't like the answer I WILL shoot you as soon as you answer.”

Zarth- “it's me i may not look like the skinny little runt like i was but you gotta still remember me i would never forget my best friend! C’mon u say u dont recognize zarth? You have to have remembered me.” he says pleadingly but she hasn't shot him so that is a good sign for him. She still doesn't change expressions though but she sighs and starts speaking in a softer tone.

Sophia- “that does sound familiar but i still don't remember you. But I don't hear any trickery in your voice so I will let this meeting slide for now. If we truly are meant to remember each other then we shall meet again but I'm leaving.” she says as she then turns her back on him leaving him speechless and hurt. This was rare because he had never been that sad or at least shown it but it was clear as day he was hurt deeply by this interaction as he then watched her leave. Hours went by and then soon it was night. Still just sitting there mind racing zombies keep walking by every now and then. It was just like that time. The time she left…

2020-flashback

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zarth- “shit we’re surrounded by the damn zombies!” he says in panic as he stands on top of his two story house with a horde of zombies surrounding them and a car that has the keys in it in the driveway. He then says, “we can't make it! Its to far and the fall would hurt like hell… were fucked. I guess I will have to distract them while you get in the car to drive away.”

Sophia- “ HELL NO, I'M distracting them so you can escape. There is no debate if we are meant to truly be together in this new world then we will meet again and I will survive. Just remember me. I couldn't save our friends but i can save you” she says as she falls off the house into the horde of zombies then she attempts an escape to distract them and it works she attracts the zombies and zarth looks away as he cant watch. He then jumps down to run to the car, legs burning from pain from the fall but he gets into the car and turns the key then it starts. Or it doesn't. He turns it again. And again. But no gas. He realizes that they did all that for nothing and she may have just died for no reason but for him to have a small chance to be able to run. He quickly gets out of the car and a few zombies look over and turn to him and some start running for their new prey. Though only ten are coming they are still a threat. He stabs one in the head with the key and tries to pull it out but he quickly finds it's stuck so there are still three running and the other six are stumbling or walking. One of the running one trips and falls. Zarth quickly runs to the garage and swings a bike at one of the running ones and it works killing it with a locky blow but now the last infected is almost literally on top of him in arms length so then as a last ditch effort he uses his closed pocket knife to jam it into its eye going straight through. It doesn't work and the zombie grabs him and bites him. Right in the shoulder. But then he sways the zombies head to the left then rapidly to the right. 

Zarth- “cant believe that worked… I just saw it once in a movie to snap someone's neck but damn it worked… shit the bite!” he realized but then checked to see how much it bit him since he can’t feel it from the adrenaline. He checks and there are small markings but it seemed that the jacket blocked the virus enough so he wont get infected as he then sighs. 

2025-now

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zarth- “I used to think that being in an apocalypse would be better for my life. Taking back what's mine. Never taking shit from other people. Protect my own land. But no, I'm stuck wandering. Stealing what I need so I can live, most likely killing any hope for those who desperately need food. This place is a shitshow. I wish for normal days.” he mutters to himself as he walks down an abandoned street in the early morning. Must be around seven o'clock where he is at. He hasn't seen a lot of dead or zombies so he is on guard because usually there are a lot of zombies in the morning or the night but there are very few… no none he had realized he hadn't seen not one zombie since he stepped foot into the town. So he kept walking and walking, always on edge for what's around the corner but always finds nothing. All the shops have been raided, the zombies cleared out, and most importantly… no blood stained the streets of the town. So he thinks to himself “strange, maybe there is an outpost at the school or town hall. Any of the big buildings because there has to be something here cleaning everything up and taking care of the town. I haven't seen much moss of broken down buildings either… what is this?” 

???- “woah are you ok dude?” a masculine voice says from behind zarth. And as he turns he sees a man with a black t-shirt on and jeans. He looks clean, no blood stains, no ripped clothes, normal. A stark contrast to zarth as he had a tank top that was torn to shreds and covered in blood, and his blue shorts were practically red as it was also ripped a good amount. Zarth was very confused on how he looked like the world was in a state of total chaos. The man notices the man's confusion along with the dirtiness of him as well. 

The man- “oh sorry I'm dylan, so why are you here and why do you look like that here?” he wondered why he was confused and so distraught. But he ignored it and focused on why he was here and so… bloody and looked like he had been put through hell. Well he had been put through hell but the man doesn't know that. Zarth- “wh-i-my-la-wh-.... Wait gimme a sec” he then pauses to collect himself and figure out what was happening. So then he continued, “are you seriously asking why I'm looking like this? I came from out of town. Why wouldn't I look like this? I mean there is a whole ### z-” he then stops and drops to his knees holding his neck like something was choking him but nothing was there but he felt something stopping him from continuing. The man gets concerned and goes to zarths side to try to help not understanding what's happening. Something was wrong… very wrong. This town was not all it seemed and zarth knew it.
