The Dead
It's been 4 months since this whole zombie apocalypse situation, the T-Virus they call it. Unleashing it to innocent civilians that had so much to live for. They were nothing but testers and useless people to the scientists.
All hell broke loose when that virus got released out to the world. Screaming, crying, rage, and panic was spreading globally.
This pandemic was no fucking joke. Everyone suffered because of those fucking fools of a "Scientist" did this to the world. Not knowing if there is any other survivors.
But then there's me, [First name] [Last name]. I don't know if there are any more survivors, except me? It's really hard living alone here in this abandoned cabin out here in the woods. It's not even my actual home.
I've been staying here ever since those "things" ate my family and friends.
Hell, I think I'm the only one alive?
I've been running out of supplies lately, I barely have food, water, and medicine. I wonder how since I live alone, nobody else is here.
"I guess I can go and get more supplies?" I stood up from my bed that I was laying on and walked over to the dresser that had female clothing in it.
I took out a pair of sweat pants and a sleeveless shirt.
I stripped from my current clothing and put the new ones on. After I finished changing, I walked to the closet and grabbed my backpack before running out of the run.
I reached over the the door and picked up my bat.
I opened the door and walked out of the cabin before closing it and began my journey to the local town that was miles away from the cabin
・x・
Once I made it to the town, I searched it and took all the stuff I need. Most of it was pretty useful, nothing special, but useful.
"Mom.. I'm so sorry.." I heard a faint cry coming from the office of a pharmacy that I was searching through.
".... Pl-please.. I didn't mean for this to happen.... I promised that I would protect you... But I failed.. I-I failed you!"
I slightly opened the door to the office and found a green-haired male facing away from the door. He had a female —which would be his mom— in front of him. She was laying in his arms with her lifeless green eyes peering up into his.
Blood was coming out the side of her mouth. I would gag but that's the kids mom, I would never disrespect the dead of someone's family member.
I quietly walked into the office and quietly shut the door. All I could hear in the office was crying that came from the green-haired teen.
"This is my fault.. You should have came with me. Why did you have to insist a lot, mom?"
He was crying his eyes out. It sounded like he does even care if those "things" get him anymore. I feel his pain though. I blamed myself for my families death for 2 months.
Now 2 months later, I realized that my family used to say, "If you love us, you would let us go." and "Whatever happens.. Don't look back, okay?" they would always say that.
But this kid, I think he needs to be told that as well.
"H-Hey, kid?" He jumped and quickly let go of his mother and scooted away on his butt quickly.
"Pl-Please! I don't have anything! I'm just trying to die here with my mom, that's all!"
"Hey, hey, hey! It's okay.. I'm not going to hurt you." I backed away with my hands in front of me, signalling him to calm down.
"What d-do you want?.." He was shaking really bad, but that made sense because it was chilly outside. His eyes had fear and no hope. They were green though, pretty color.
"I don't want anything. But I do wanna help you! I'm sorry that this happened to your mom.." I looked over at her. She had a bullet wound in her head.
"But, you know what my parents would say to me?"
He nodded slowly and looked into my [Eye color] eyes, "They would say "If you love us, you would let us go." or "Whatever happens, don't look back, okay?" parents would do whatever to save their young."
I walked closer to him. He moved away and curled into a ball, sniffling and crying.
I crouched down next to him and placed my hand on his shoulder.
He flinched and tensed up a bit but then relaxed, "What's your name? I'm [First name] [Last name]"
"I-Izuku... Izuku Midoriya.." He lowly said.
'Poor kid..'
I felt bad for him. He doesn't have a mom anymore and now he's lost. Lost like how I was when I lost my family.
"You're coming with me. I'm not letting you die out here."
I stood up and helped Izuku up. He gave a sad look at me then at his lifeless mom.
"Hey... Let's not look okay? I don't wanna see you crying anymore.."
Izuku nodded and looked down at his intertwined hands. He fiddled with his thumbs and sniffled, trying to hold back anymore crying.
I looked for a blanket and laid it over his mom's body, saying something respectful to her.
Izuku and I walked out the building and headed towards the forest.
・x・
We made it back to the cabin, safe and healthy.
"well, it's not much but it's something. At least it's big enough for us."
Izuku nodded and walked around the place.
"Is this your cabin?" He asked shyly.
"Nah, I ran here when this whole thing started." He didn't respond back but continued to look around, "I'll be putting away supplies if you need anything, okay?"
"O-Okay." Izuku looked over at me before looking away.
・x・
After I put the stuff away. I walked over to the room Izuku was staying in —which was next to my room— and opened the door.
He just laid on the bed on his side. His forest green eyes were peering outside the window across the room.
'He must really loved his mom?'
"Hey, Midoriya."
He didn't respond back.
I sat down next to him and patted his shoulder, in response, he flinched.
"O-Oh.. Hey [First name].."
Izuku looked up at me with dull emotionless eyes, "Why were you alone at the pharmacy?" I asked softly.
"Someone kicked me out of a large group of students. He said that I was useless and would only slow them down... He told me that me and my mom should get devoured by those freaks. We tried joining other groups but... they would trick us or use us to get bit."
Izuku looked away from me. It looked like he was about to cry after saying that.
"I'm so sorry! I wish I knew you before this happened. I would have helped you and your mom! I didn't mean to ask that question..."
I looked down at my thighs and bit my inner cheek.
Izuku kept quiet and hid his face in the pillow. He cried into it and gripped the sides of the pillow.
"What the hell is wrong with people?! He's so innocent! Why would they do that?!"
I moved closer to him and rubbed his back, "It's okay. I know it's hard but.... you have to stay strong. Don't make your mother sad by showing her these emotions you're feeling."
I really hoped that he was going to be okay. I dont want to see someone like this after losing someone they only had and loved the most. It's so sad..
