Mystery

So lets start from the beginning.

Thomas Lawrence was coming home from school when he heard a sound. It was like someone was growling at him. He decided to go have a look and see what it was and to his amazement it was someone there. When he asked if the person needed help, the black figure turned around and it had glowing blue eyes and it charged at him, the both of them were knocked onto the ground. Thomas didn't know what to do they were "fighting" each other then the man bite Thomas on the hand, but Thomas managed to push him and run away in fear and never looked back. Thomas got home and he wasn't feeling to good and he passed out. Thomas woke up 4 months later, the bite on his hand was gone, he was scared he wanted to know how it just disappeared m, but he decided to push that a side and go look for his mom and brother. He left out of his room and screamed for his mom and when she didn't hear he screamed for his brother, no one answered. Then he saw blood on the floor and he followed the trail to outside, but when he got outside the blood trail ended and no one was around. The town was quiet, but in the distance you could hear a growl. Thomas remembered the growl he heard before, but he didn’t care about that right now. He was trying to find his family that was the only thing on his mind. He started to freak out and he screamed hoping someone would hear his cries of help, but no one appeared. He decided not to look around and he went back inside because he thought some one would come and save him. After a month he started to run out of food so he decided to go to the grocery store, he was walking, but there was on one in plain sight. He made it to the grocery store and it had chains on it. He find something to hit the chain, but before he could he was knocked on the head and he passed out. He woke up to people surrounding him and he was freaking out he didn't know what to do.

"What were you thinking of opening that door." Said one lady?"

"What do you mean? I was about to open it because I was running out of food to eat.”

"Do you know what's in there." Said the lady again

"Food."

"He's a funny one." Said the old man

"What do you mean? What's in there?" Said Thomas

"You don't know." Said a little boy

"Know what."

"First let's start off introducing ourselves. Hello, young man what's your name." Said the old man

"Thomas Lawrence."

"Oh my, nice to meet you boy.” Said old man

“Like wise.” Said Thomas

“Kara, go to the grocery store and paint on the door no food, but zombies are inside.” Said old man

“Yes, sir.” Said Kara

“Boy come with me.”

Thomas got up and he followed the old man.

"Well boy there are 100+ of us in this camp here and I will introduce you to everyone and then I will tell you what happened here first I need you to calm down and breathe and my name is Jeff, I am the chief here."

"So here we have the doctor office and inside is the workers. There are 14 of them. 5 doctors named Peter, Will, Betty, Kathy and James. And the rest are nurses and they are Charity, Catherine, another Peter, Rick, Shun, Ray, Jessie, Mia and Jenasia. Here we have a food house and there are 50 workers who walk here their names you can learn later. We have guards at the entrances, the back and on top of the fences. That over there is our solar panel station and there are workers there. We have a team for the garden for food and that over there is our house division. We take turns for each job besides the doctor offices, but if you want to learn they can train you over in the doctor's office. So that's all for here, What do you want to know?" Said the chief

Thomas looked at him like he was crazy because he know what he wanted to know.

"Oh yeah, so it started on May 4 a outbreak happened that caused major confusion. It was on the news that people was eating each other. And then they started to call it the Zombie apocalypse, then the news started to say it was the governments fault and that they were the reasons that this happened and they were about the reveal the truth when the news station was attacked by the zombies. We put all the zombies into the grocery store and we made these place right here. See we only have 5,000 people in our town so it was pretty ok to deal with them we have decided to burn the grocery store to the ground so they would bite no one else." Said the chief

"So you're telling me that people are going around and eating each other."

"Son their not people anymore their monsters and they must be destroyed no matter what."

Thomas understand that day what had happened, but he doesn't know why he didn't turn into a zombie.

"Ok."

"Son, I want you to meet some people."

They walked into the housing division and walked up to a red house and knocked on the door. The door opened.

"MOM."

"THOMAS, omg you're ok."

"I told you he was alive and you didn't believe me." Said the mom who name is Renee

"Ma'am you know I couldn't believe you it has been 5 months since these has happened and I could just believe he was still alive, as you know not all zombies are required for."

"I know but still it doesn't matter he's here now that's all that matters."

They walked into the house and he saw his brother Mane and he ran up to him and hugged him. That night they had dinner and Thomas told his mom what happened but not the full story.

"Where have you been this whole time?"

"The house."

"You didn't come looking for people."

"No I thought that it was no dangerous and decided to stay back and hope someone would come to find me."

"Well I'm glad you weren't hurt, but you didn't see the news son."

"No I didn't I was knocked out for 4 months."

"What?"

"Yeah I was coming down the stairs and I fell down and when I came to, I saw blood on the floor and thought something bad happened. I was going to go look for you but something told me not to and just wait."

"Ok well I'm glad to have you back my boy."

That night he went to sleep and woke up to a bell. Everyone came outside and the chief told all the newbies to come to the front. They had to take a course to see what their jobs would be. The course lasted 2 weeks and Thomas had became a gather. A gather is someone who goes out into the zombie apocalypse and collect supplies the community needs. Before Thomas could go out he had to learn the things of a gather like how to navigate, shoot guns and arrows and things like that. 4 months had passed and his first gather was coming they had to go to the next town over because the supplies they had was almost gone.

^The day before the gathering left.^

"Are you really newbies, this is your first gathering and you have to be careful. Do not let the zombie bite you and remember shot to the head means death, when around zombies do not make a sound because what." Said Kara she was the person in charge of us gathers

"Because the zombies can hear us,but no smell or see us." Said the newbie gathers

"So before we go into battle let's have a FEAST." Said Kara

"YEAHHHHH!" Said everyone

The night was over then came the morning and it was time to go.

"Bye ma." Said Thomas

"Be safe and come back to me."

"I will."

They opened the gate and they were on their way. They made it passed the town hall until they saw a group of zombies it was like 40 of them, they were quiet going around them until someone stepped on plastic. They zombies started to come towards them. Thomas was confused because the zombie they came up to him was fast and these zombies were slow. The bow and arrow team started to fire and the others ran. We made it outside of town and we waited on the rest.

"Matthew, do you think their ok." Matthew was Kara second in commend said one of the boys

"Yes, they will they have the leader with them." Said Matthew

30 minutes later they caught up with the rest of them everyone was a counted for.

"Let's go." Said Kara

They made it to the next town and it was quiet to quiet, but we thought nothing of it. We went to there grocery stores and hospitals and there were zombies but not a lot of them. They were on there way out until they heard screams and they ran towards it and saw zombies a lot of them and people.

"Bow and arrow team now." Said Kara

The started shooting at the zombies and they zombies fell down and turned to dust. And they  ran out of arrows.

"Sword team come in." Said Kara

Thomas was a part of this team and they killed all the zombies.

"Where did that sound come from?" Said a boy

"I don't know" Said Kara

Then a women came out of a door and she told them to come in, but they didn't trust them and they stand there looking at her.

"We have people inside and some are injured we just need your help."

"Stay our until I tell you to come inside." Said Kara

"Yes, Ma'am" everyone said

She walked inside and  looked around.

"So how many are here 89." Said the women

"Ok, And how many are injured."

"29, ma'am"

"Were any bitten or got blood in their mouth or in a wound."

"Yeah."

"How many of the injured did?"

"Well not just the injured, but the ones who did that are injured is 15, but the ones who aren't and is infected are 34."

"That many and you allowed them to come inside."

"Will it takes 2 days for them to turn and we allow them to see their family before we kill them."

"Ok that means 49 are infected."

"Yes you are correct."

"Do you want to come with us we have a safe place."

"No where's safe, darling." Old lady said in the corner

"Safer then in here."

"Yes, I do, but I have to give the families the rest of their time together."

"How much time is left."

"22 minutes."

"Ok we can wait but is there anyone one who had been bitten in a place that they don't need."

"Why?"

"Because if they don't have blue eyes yet and if it is in a place that can be cut off then they might survive."

"What for real?"

"Yea, how many?"

"7."

"Let me see them."

"Ok."

"We have 6 of them, but one mother wouldn't let her son go."

"Ok, I will go see."

"Where is she?"

"I will take you to her."

"Ok."

They walked to the back of the room where the infected was and Kara saw the mother holding here child and crying.

"Ma'am, my name is Kara and I need to see your child in order to save him."

"How can you save him, but can't save the ones who have been infected, but not by a bite." Said the women

"Ma'am the situation is different."

"How?"

"With a person who has been infected by blood getting into there system we can't cut the infection out of them because it has transferred into the bloodstream, but with a bite it focus on the skin around it first and then it starts to eat the bloodstream instead of going into the bloodstream. The bite will start to eat the body and when it gets to the heart or brain its to late. And now you have a choice to save your son,but you are being fucking selfish and allowing him to die because of your stupidity."

"Ok, but how do you know it will work."

"I don't but at least you have a choice."

"Ok."

"Thank you."

Kara takes him outside with the rest. Everyone has already been done now it's his turn. The 22 minutes were up and the people were killed. The rest got there stuff together to head out to there next home. They made it back 3 days later.

"So there are the people you were telling me about."

"Yeah."

"Hello, I'm Jeff the chief around here nice to meet you all."

"What did you mean she told you about us how?"

"Oh walker talkie."

"And you must be their leader young lady."

"Yes and my name is Andy."

"Well, Andy come with me and let's have a little chat. Kara and get someone to talk them to there housing we will show them about when they are well rested up."

"Yes,sir."

"Come on, girls this here is Jake and Mike. They will be showing you to your housing for today."

"Thank y'all sooo much." One lady said

"No problem we just like to help people."

Jake and mike started to show them to there housing and the gather who was on the job want to put things away and take the 7 people into the doctors office. Thomas finally made it home at night.

"You're back."

"I told you I would be. Where's Mane."

"Sleep, are you hungry."

"No, I already ate."

"Ok, are you going to bed."

"Not yet, but in a little while I will."

"Ok, but don't stay up to late."

"I won't."

"Good night love you."

"Good night and love you too."

Thomas sat on the couch and stared at his hand wondering why didn't he turn and why did the mark of the bite just disappear. He was scared of what could happen and he was scared of himself because he didn't know what he would do. He started to cry and he decided to go outside and take a walk. There he saw Kara and he walked up to her.

"Hey." Said Thomas

"What are you still doing up?" Said Kara

"Can't sleep. How 'bout you?"

"Same."

"Kara if I tell you something you promise not to freak out."

"Yea."

"I was bitten."

"WHAT? WHERE?"

"It was 9 months ago and I think I was the very first person to get bite."

"What? How are you not a zombie?"

"I don't know."

"Do you think it's a cure?"

"I don't think so."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like it's a fire in my body and it needs to be put out right now."

"Are you saying you want to go around eating humans."

"No, it's the opposite."

"Zombies."

"Yea."

"But that doesn't make sense."

"I know, but sometimes it's like I can hear someone talking to me."

"What are they saying to me."

"At first I couldn't hear them, but later on I could hear them saying kill yourself."

"When did you start to hear the voice?."

"3 months ago."

"Do you recognize the voice."

"No"

"Ok, so what happens if you kill yourself?"

"I don't know and I'm afraid to find out."

"Ok, for now I want you to go inside and sleep and we will talk more about this tomorrow."

Ok, but you won't tell no one right.

"Yes I won't."

Thomas walked back to the house, he felt like something was lifted from his chest from talking someone he trusted. Thomas got into bed and he fell a sleep.
