September 26th, 2003 Emily quietly sitting on the couch watching the news on the tv in her room, she couldn't believe all the chaos going on, hoping that her sister would get home. Hearing the front door open, she knew that she was home, running down the stairs quickly. "Maya what's going on out there?" Emily asking her older sister.
"A lot of people are getting sick, we got to go now. Get your shoes on and let's get in the car." Maya tells her, she didn't want to panic her sister but she needed to get her somewhere safe.
"And what? Leave everything behind, just like that?" Emily asked her, not knowing that it's actually really bad out there then she actually did.
"Emily we don't have time for this! I'll explain everything to you in the car now let's go!" Maya tells her, getting a bit annoyed with her, always being this stubborn but right now was not the time for it. Emily just rolled her eyes, getting her shoes and getting into the car with Maya in the front, Maya saw some of neighbours coming out of their houses, "Everyone get back their house now! It's not safe out here! Get back in your house, lock your doors and window now!" She yells at them, she then continues on driving at full speed trying to get out the city soon as possible. Emily looking out the passenger window, so many people running everywhere and screaming. Explosions and fire, seeing this really hit Emily, "What's going on?" Emily asked Maya.
Maya keeping her eyes on the road as she drives, "I don't know, something about some fungus got into the wheat supply or something like that." Maya explains to her, "Don't worry we'll be okay Emi, I promise I won't let anything happen to you." She says to her little sister, she'll die before she let anything happen to her, and nothing is gonna happen to her.
"We're almost to the highway then we should be good from there." Maya says, but she was wrong. Not expecting what was coming next, as they were hit by another car causing them to flip their car once, slowly opening her eyes seeing everything in double as she was so dizzy, Maya turned to Emily quickly. "Emi, Emi you okay? Are you hurt?" She asked her with concern in her voice. Emily slowly nods her head, "I'm okay, I'm okay." She says, "Hit my head, but that's it." Emily says to Maya, letting out a small painful grunt. Maya quickly got herself out of the car, making her way to the passenger side, helping get Emily out. Looking ahead seeing a huge crowd what looks to be like a group of people running right for them. "Let's go, go run!" Maya quickly yells at Emily, starting to run but the crowd catching up to them quickly, disappearing into the crowd Maya quickly lost sight of Emily within the crowd. Desperately looking every where, screaming and yelling out her name and yet she was no where to be found. Doing everything in her power to not panic and freak out. With all the people screaming around her she couldn't even hear herself think, or even hear herself scream. Seeing the horror of people getting attacked by the infected, she's never been so scared in her life until now. Feeling like forever being in the crowd she finally got out, but the worst was getting more worse by the minute, hearing her sister scream as infected were on top of her Maya let out a screaming cry as there was nothing she could do. Having no choice but to run, run fast and run far as much as she hated to leave her sister.
2023 Over twenty years have passed since the outbreak first happened, the night Maya's life chanced forever. Being on her own ever since, going from place to place just surviving. Finding an abandon cabin in the woods, she took shelter and decided to rest for a while before travelling again, looking at the tattoo 'Emily' on her left wrist, gently touching it with her finger, she missed her sister every single day. Her eyes beginning to tear up as she was lost in her thoughts, but that soon broke. Hearing the door open, hearing glass crack as foot steps stepped on them. Taking her knife out, walking out of the room she was in very quietly, making her way to the stair case. An older man that looked like to be in his late fortys and a girl, looking fourteen.
"Put the knife down, and no one has to get hurt." The man tells Maya has his raised his gun up a little.
"How do I know that you're not going to try anything?" Maya asked him seriously, not moving a muscle.
He put his hands up, surrendering and putting his gun away, "There. That's how you know." He tells her. Slowly lowering her knife, feeling she can trust him even though he was just a stranger.
"Is it only you two?" She asked him, talking about him and the girl.
He nodded, "I'm Joel, and this is Ellie." He says to her.
"Name's Maya." She tells him.
