Y/N: A Walking Dead Story (Male Reader)

Prologue

No one's POV

Y/N L/N is a 8 year old boy who is living with his father. His mother died giving birth to him, and his father has been in the military for years. His father retired and took care of Y/N after he was born.

Y/N's POV

I am in my room playing with some of my military action figures. I always thought of my dad as a hero, he always told me stories of his time in the military. And he told me about my mother. I wish I knew who my mother was, she always sounded nice and loving. He always spoke high and had nice things to say about her.

Y/N: I'm a little hungry.

I get out of my room and walk down the hallway to the kitchen. I open up the pantry and check out my options for snacks. I see a small bag of potato chips. I grab the bag of chips and take it out of the pantry. I close the pantry and open the bag of chips. I start eating the chips as I see my father watching TV in the living room. I see that the news is on. I listen to the news.

News reporter: Breaking news! Don't let anyone you don't know in your house! The CDC has said a new virus is spreading across the world! This virus is causing people to act strange, if you're outside, stay as far away from strangers who look sick, sweating, really pale, and aggressive.

Y/N: What?

Dad: Some kind of virus...?

Y/N: Dad, what do they mean by this virus?

Dad: I don't know, but we better stay inside.

We then hear noises outside, it sounded like screaming. We also heard... groaning? I look outside to see some people running from other people? The people who are chasing everyone running is walking weirdly, dragging their feet and moving slow. They are attacking them by biting them!

Y/N: Uh... Dad...?!

My father rushes over and looks through the window.

Dad: What the fuck?!

We then hear banging at the front door. It's those things that are attacking the people!

Y/N: AHHH!!!!

Dad: Y/N! FOLLOW ME!

My father starts running to his room, I follow him. He goes into his closet and finds his gun. We then hear the door get broken down. We hear the monsters coming in. It sounds like a lot of them.

Y/N: Dad.....?

My father leaves the room and aims his gun in front of them. He sees the monsters, they see us and they start walking towards us. My dad starts shouting them. He shoots enough to where we are back in the living room. But more and more monsters are getting in. Dad couldn't hold them.

Dad: Y/N, use the back door to escape!

Y/N: Dad?!

Dad: Now! I can't hold them! But I can keep the back door area clear!

Y/N: But what about you?!?!

Dad: I'll meet you if I can get out of here safe! But you need to go!

Y/N: But-

Dad: If I get out of here alive, I'll find you, I promise. Now GO!!!

I start running to the back door. I open it to see no signs of the monsters. I look back at my dad who is still shooting the monsters. He looks at me.

Dad: I love you, son...

The monsters get closer to him and start surrounding him. I quickly start running away from my house, I have tears coming out of my eyes, hoping my father can get out of there.
