'Changed'

PART 1: Hope you are enjoying it so far!

I rushed into the conference room, clutching my shoulder bag restlessly. The conference room was the room where we held meetings, talks and lectures and it was diffinetly my least favourite room of HQ. For one, it all it had was chairs, tables, a projector and a screen, and two our meetings went on for hours.

"Marnie! Where have you been?" snapped Chief Martin's "Your twenty minutes late!"

"Sorry, sorry i completely forgot it was on! i'm really sorry Chief"- relaxed face, shoulders back, stare clearly at Chief...

"Hmmm..." mumbled Chief. "Marnie, you do know i took the lying course too and i have taught it 100s of times"

"How could you tell?" i moaned

"Your over doing it, try not to stare at me, look around at other people too. But not bad... now sit!"

I slumped into my chair silently. I looked around at those next to me. Matt was on the left corner of the table and was smiling widely with his thumb up at me, i smiled back and winked. Next to him was Julie, and her face wasn't very amused at all! She glared at me, her lips pursed, her pale eyebrows raised. I blinked at her, like i didn't know what she was so moody about. But of course i did, if she came 20 minutes late for a meeting, Chief would have a right go at her, scream at her probably, but i got away with it! And not bad is like AMAZING in Chief's world. I tried not to smirk.

"So, as i was saying before i was so rudely interupted (Chief glanced at me), we are going on an expedition in approximately 2 days time to New York- there we will be recruiting the people and perhaps warding off any... others"

Her voice droned on and on and on. But i was ecstatic with the new news.  We never get to go away anywhere. Its all training, and meetings and tests. But here is the real test! Excitement bubbled in my tummy rapidly. I'd never been to New York. We used to live in Glasgow, before it happened. My lips twitch thinking about it. I don't like to look back. 

But anyway, New York! So exciting! i hope we shoot loads of Dead. I glance over at Matt and see he's in a daydream too, his smile as wide as mine. I know this all sounds a bit creepy, daydreaming about shooting zombies in New York- all very romantic isn't it? But this is what its like when you live in HQ we barely ever get to go anywhere, we just train. Its not at all fair as all the less experienced recruits go out fighting all the time. Which is just horrible as they die almost straight away out there.

But you don't know about us, do you? The Changed 10? (Also known as 'The Specials' and 'The Fun Team of Funky Freaks' to Matt). We're a small team of unstopables that were created during the first part of 'The Revelation' (zombie apocolypse). We don't know how it happened it just did. It was just like one day we woke up and there were a load of dead around. (by around i mean ripping heads off bodies and eating people's brains) My Mum was a agent in the C.I.A and we were escaping Glasgow to go to Washington D.C HQ to get more information on the situation. But when we landed in Washingtion, we were jumped on apon hundreds of Dead. My Mum and the other agents tried their best, but there were just too many. My Mum pushed me to the back of the plane and tried to guard me, while shooting zombies. But they got her. It was terrible. Really, really bad. But when the zombies came for me, something happened. We don't know what. But something happened to make me different. I remember this cold feeling inside of me then there was this whoosh feeling and i was 'Changed'.  And i had super powers 'Hurray'..

Thats all they say happened. But i think they know more.

But anyway, so here we are, a group of super-freaks waiting for something to happen. 

Great..
