Late December 2021

I sigh quietly as I lay on my bed. My window has a pretty good view on villedor. The city is kinda quiet, but it's like 3AM so that should be expected. I glanced over to my clock each second feeling longer. The anticipation for my 10th birthday making minutes feel like hours. I finally decide that I don't need to wait, I can just wake my parents up now.

God I was a dumb kid.

I get up, walking over to my door but sudden screaming stops me in my tracks. I just in my tracks. I recognize those voices. Oh God that realization was horrific. My parents screaming downstairs was a sound I could not understand. I really thought that my parents were never scared of anything but now that was broken and the realization that something horrible could be on the other side of my door made me want to just crawl into my bed and go to sleep.

Footsteps barrel up my stairs and and my heart sinks in my chest, thumping like a chorus of anxiety and confusion. My door slams open and my someone jumps into my room. I recognize this guy he, is my next door neighbor, but I don't know his name anyway. He picks me up and starts to run me out of my room. He told me not to look up. I really fucking should have listened.

My parents lay on the floor of my living room lying in a pool of their own blood as a biters chewed on their corpses. I hat that sound so fucking much. The man got me into the rickety old elevator and knelt down to my level

Man: Hey kid. You must be terrified huh. My name is Frank. There is no way to sugarcoat this but your parents are dead, and I need to gey you out of here.

You still understood the concept of death, even at such a young age you had already been to 3 funerals.

Y/N: Where are we going?

Frank: I know someone who can help us make a new safer home.

You can tell by the expression on his face that we need to be quieter and get a move on.

The streets were lined with people wearing haznat suits, spraying chemicals all over. It only took a single viral, a single bite and one loud scream to form a crowd. Frank started to run, and I followed behind as fast as I could, having a bit of struggle to keep up.

We came to an old car repair workshop and climbed to the top using an abandoned bus next to the roof. A redheaded man sat against the neon lights that label the building, watching the street carefully.

Frank: Cillian?

Cillian: get over here now. Who is that?

Frank: My neighbor's sun. His parents are gone.

Cillian's face seemed to drop with a heavy sadness.

Frank: Have you protected the inside yet?

Cillian: Yes. We should go in, we can't be spotted up here.

Frank nods silently and Ciliian quickly walks to a small panel in the roof, with a ladder underneath it. He climbs down, followed by me and Frank.

The inside is pretty small, with beds lifted up on car lifts, and makeshift barricades on all the doors. Cillian seems pretty proud of his safe house. Cillian gestures to a small couch in the backroom through a thin glass window, and you all go and sit down. I can hear Frank and Ciliian in the other room talking quietly in the other room. I tried to listen to them and hear what they were saying but I was still trying to process what was happening. I found myself staring at the ceiling, crying silently.  I am honestly not quite sure what happened during the rest of the day, my head was a spinning pool if emotions and all I could think about was my parents, and the sound of the Biter. At some point I cried myself to sleep, or just fuckin passed out.
