A Tale of Survival in the Apocalypse (doctor strange x reader short story)

Chapter Two: The Apocalypse Begins

The world had turned into a nightmare. The virus had spread rapidly, infecting and killing millions of people worldwide. The streets were filled with the moans and screams of the infected, who roamed the cities looking for their next meal.

(Y/N) had lost her parents to the virus. Her father, a kind and loving man, had been her rock throughout her life. But as the virus took hold of him, his once bright and cheerful demeanor turned into a cold and distant one. (Y/N) could see the fear in his eyes as he struggled to hold on to his humanity, but it was a losing battle.

One night, (Y/N) was awoken by her father's screams. She rushed to his side and found him convulsing on the ground, his body contorted and twisted by the virus. She tried to help him, to ease his pain, but there was nothing she could do. He died in her arms, his final breaths a mix of sobs and moans.

(Y/N) was devastated. She had lost the person she loved most in the world, and now she was alone. But she refused to give up. She knew that she had to keep going, to find a way to survive in this new, terrifying world.

Over the next few days, (Y/N) scrounged for supplies, raiding abandoned houses and stores for food, water, and anything else she could find. She was constantly on the move, always wary of the infected and other survivors who might pose a threat.

But despite the constant danger, (Y/N) refused to let the world break her. She held on to her memories of her father, of his love and kindness, and used them to fuel her determination to keep going.

As she wandered the streets, she saw other survivors like herself, people who had lost everything to the virus. Some were friendly, offering a nod or a kind word as they passed by. Others were hostile, attacking her on sight and trying to steal her supplies.

But through it, all, (Y/N) remained strong. She had survived this far, and she would keep surviving. She would find a way to make it in this new world, even if it meant going it alone.

As she walked, (Y/N) could feel the weight of her father's loss heavy on her heart. But she refused to let it break her. She would keep going, keep fighting, and keep surviving, no matter what. As days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, (Y/N) continued to wander the wasteland alone. She had encountered many other survivors along the way, some friendly and some not, but she had never stayed with any of them for long.

Her days were filled with scavenging for supplies, avoiding the infected and hostile survivors, and trying to stay alive. The nights were long and lonely, with only the sound of the wind and the occasional moan of the infected to keep her company.

Despite the constant danger, (Y/N) refused to give up hope. She knew that there had to be other survivors out there, people who were still fighting to survive just like her. And she was determined to find them.

One day, as she was walking along an abandoned highway, she saw a sign that caught her eye. It read "Safe Zone Ahead - Follow the Arrows." Intrigued, she decided to follow the arrows, hoping that they would lead her to safety.

As she walked, she saw more signs pointing her in the right direction. She could feel her heart beating faster with every step, the hope of finding a safe place to call home growing stronger.

Finally, after hours of walking, she saw it. A large, fortified compound surrounded by a high fence and guarded by armed men. It was the safe zone she had been searching for.

As she approached the gates, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. Would they let her in? Would they accept her as one of their own?

But as she reached the gates, the guards lowered their guns and smiled at her. "Welcome to Haven," they said.

(Y/N) had finally found a new home. A place where she could be safe, where she could find friends and allies, and where she could continue to fight to survive in this new, terrifying world.
