Dead Generation

Chapter 1

I wake up to a loud banging noise. I slowly creep out of my bed and open the hotel door only to reveal a police officer?

"Mam you have to pack your bags and evacuate the city you here?" He said in a rough country accent. He looked me dead in the eye, making me really nervous.

"What is going on officer?"

"Unless you want to be attacked and killed, I suggest you leave like everyone else." And with that, he was gone. What the.. I am so confused. I make my way towards the living room and peek out of the window. Only to reveal cars practically bumping into each other to get out I am assuming.

I look over and see a man.. Or at least a thing that resembles a man, chasing a woman. I cannot believe what I am seeing bu- oh my.. The man.. Thing just caught the woman.. And he is.. Eating her? What the hell is going on here?

Now startled, I pack my suitcase and head out. I rush to an elevator, the hallways are deserted. It feels like I am the only one left. All alone.

I hit the main floor button. Waiting until I descend and the elevator makes a 'ding' and the doors open. I start toward the main entrance, until I hear a low grumbling sound..

I look to my right and behind the desk is.. Someone.. More like something. It started to slowly rise from the ground, getting louder and louder. I was stunned, so terrified I couldn't even move.

That is until someone grabs my left arm and starts to drag me. I turn and look at the tall figure who roughly grabbed me and was now dragging me out of the door. "Stop please! Let go of me!" I screeched, obviously terrified. He ignored me and kept going until we were at a large pickup truck.

"Get in" The man said in a stern accent. I do as I was told, thinking.. Praying that he just intended on saving me rather then taking me somewhere and murdering me. I put the though aside and buckle in, setting my suitcase in front of my feet. The man get in the drivers seat and starts the engine which roars to life.

He was probably not much older than me, had black, short hair that was shaved at the sides, and a muscular build. He was wearing a navy blue tank top and jeans.

"Erm.. Your not gonna kill me right?" I manage to say. He lets out a small chuckle and shakes his head.

"By the looks of it back there, you would've been lunch. Why didn't you run?"

"I wanted to, but I was obviously terrified, therefore I wasn't able to move." I said matter of fact like.

"Ok. Well. Names Ryan. You?"

"Ashley. Can you please tell me what is going on here?"

"I don't know for sure but some illness broke out. People go crazy, and I guess turn all cannibal like."

"Sounds like a movie or something. Please tell me this isn't real."

"Guess what sweetheart. It is."

"Your not a 30 year old pedophile are you?" I suddenly blurted out. Oops.

He started laughing hysterically. He had a nice laugh might I add. "No mam. I am 20 years old. And I am definitely not a pedo" he stated whilst still laughing. He also has a really nice southern accent. Ugh. What am I saying??

"Ok good. Just checking, I am 19 and not a pedo either." I smiled to myself. I know I know. Im not funny but hat doesn't mean I cant try!

"So I am assuming its you n' me huh? Or would you rather try and survive on your own, see an infected, get stunned, then become lunch instead?"

"Your not gonna let that go are you?" I asked while pouting playfully. He just laughed. "And yes I think it is a good idea that we stick together." I answered his question.

We continued driving somewhere. I was obviously not form around here and not a clue where we were going. But I am happy I am not alone.
