The Mayans were right. The world did end on December 21, 2012. What the Mayans got wrong was that people survived after the end of the world. That's where I am now. Living in a facility known as Gamma, that was built years before the virus hit. It has generators that keep the place running, enough food to last almost forever, and even running water. It's a pretty amazing thing, if only they had put this much effort into stopping the virus from happening in the first place.
I can't forget what happened when the virus first hit. My mother and my father were both infected before I woke up that morning. Luckily, I knew what to do. I hit both of them with a baseball bat of my brother's. Their skulls cracked each time I hit them. Once I was sure they weren't getting back up, I went to find my siblings, Jessamine and Leon.
Jessamine was wrapping gauze over a wound on Leon's forearm. "What happened?" I asked, hiding the bat behind my back. "Mama bit me," Leon sniffled. I knew what I had to do. I had to stop him before he could turn and kill both my sister and me. So, I called him over to me, and before he reached me, I bashed him over the side of the head with my bat. Jessamine's scream filled the air. I turned to face my sister, the blood of my four year old brother splattered onto my face. "I had to do it." I told her, "He was going to kill us." "How?" Jessamine asked, not even looking me in the eye, "Vivienne...he was four years old." "He was bitten. Don't you know what's going on?" Jessamine shook her head, arms crossed over her chest. "Something is happening to people. Remember those movies I always watched? When the dead came back? That's what is happening. We have to get out of here, okay?" Jessamine thought for a moment, then came with me, not speaking a word to me.
We made our way somewhere safe. I don't remember exactly where we went, but that's when Axton found us. He told me to follow him. He knew somewhere safe that the Infected couldn't get us. Somewhere called Gamma.
I followed him, my sister followed as well. When we got to Gamma, we were both tested and sorted. I was sorted as a Hunter, my sister as a Doctor. And that's how we got to where we are now.
Now, I'm a Hunter, Second Level...and that's not because I'm dating the guy in charge, Axton. I got to where I am with lots of hard work. I was told today by Blake, my partner, that we are on Supply Duty tomorrow...the most pointless thing ever. Wish us luck. -V
