Fables POV
Its been 2 months since the zombie infection began. Before the infection I was a normal teenage girl failing school and hating life... Now I cherish it and stay with these strangers. I look at the people in front of me. James and Crystal are father and daughter, Felix is a random teenage boy I saved from a zombie and Lilly is an 8 year old girl who was already staying with James and Crystal when I got here. She's not related to them though, I can tell. James and Crystal both have black hair and pale skin while Lilly is a bit more tanned with blonde hair. The group sit in the small car with James driving. I look out the window and watch as the world I used to hate passes me.
James POV
I pull into a driveway of an abandoned house. It's about time we get out and stretch our legs while we search for loot. "Come on everyone!" I tell the group. They all get out of the car except for that girl named Fable. I slide back in the car and sit next to the lonely teenager. "What's up with you?" I ask her. She looks at me with a strange expression. "Do you think there will ever be a cure?" She asks. I think for a moment. This is the longest we've talked since she joined the group, but now that we're actually having a conversation... I don't know what to say. "I'm not sure... I don't think it's something for us to worry about. We just need to focus on getting to the wall and leave Australia" It's the only thing I can tell her... What else is there to say? Fable hangs her head down, looking at her ripped jeans. She begins to play with the loose threads and sighs. "We're heading into the city, aren't we? How bad do you think it is there?" She asks. "That's where the infection started... So it might be pretty bad. We'll need to be careful"
Lilly's POV
I stand next to the boy named Felix while he searches for food in the kitchen. He turns around with a concerned look on his face. "You alright little one?" He asks. I look up at him and hold my teddy bear close to me. "I'm really hungry" I tell him. He looks in a cupboard and finds a muesli bar. He offers it to me and I take it. As I take a small bite, I see him put his index finger up to his lips. We're not supposed to share the food that we find. The only person allowed to give me food is James because he's the oldest. I jump as I hear something smash near the kitchen window. I slowly look outside and see nothing. "What was it?" Felix asks. I turn around to look at him. "It's nothing..." After saying those words a zombie jumps through the window and grabs my arm. I scream, trying to pull away but the zombie has a tight grip. Felix grabs a frying pan and begins to hit the zombie, trying to make it let go. It finally loosens it grip. I run to the other side of the room and hear Felix scream. I watch in horror as the zombie rips at the teenagers skin. "James!" I yell. James runs into the kitchen and aims his gun at the zombies head. "Don't look!" I cover my eyes with my hands. All I hear is a single gun shot. "Can I look now?" I ask, slowly moving my hands away from my face. I look at Felix and the dead zombie. "Is Felix ok?" James looks down at me with a sad look on his face. He shakes his head. "It's time for us to go..."
