It started as a normal day, for everyone, the people went to work, school or wherever they usually go.

Isabella got ready, said goodbye to her family and made her way to school.

It was in the middle of 4th period, when there was an announcement, that would change the world forever.

The virus has broken out, we have to evacuate."

The people knew that a new virus was found, but it wasn't something big. Most of them didn't even talk about it.

School got cancelled, it was told, that Atlanta was save and everyone should go there.

Of course Isabella wanted to go home, the relationship wasn't the best between her and her father, her mother passed when she was younger, but after all, she loved him and wanted to go with him and her sister to Atlanta. In that moment Isabella only thought about her sister and if she was save. Rosita and Isabella had a really close relationship even though they had a pretty big age gap.

But she couldn't go home, teachers were told to get the classes, they were currently teaching, in busses, which came for them, and drove to Atlanta. Isabella had 4th period without her friends, so she went alone to the bus.

The school wasn't far away from Atlanta, around an hour, with a bus. Isabella's family moved a lot, so she was lucky that she lived so close currently.

In the middle of the drive, the bus suddenly stopped. There were many people surrounding it, teachers and a few students got out, when they didn't return to the bus, more and more people got out. Until there were only a handful left. Including Isabella.

The tension was getting weirder and the students in the bus got more worried, so Isabella looked out the window. There were no other busses around. Then she saw something, she would never forget.

People biting her classmates.

„Shit!" she yelled.

With that being said, the rest of the people looked out too, they started running out of the bus, to make it stop. Shortly after, the people started biting them too. But those weren't people, they were like Zombies, Walkers.

Isabella heard screaming, then it got quieter and quieter, until it was just total silence. She and her classmate, James, were the only ones left in the bus. Suddenly she heard footsteps. A walker. Coming towards them.

„What do we do?" James asked.

The walker looked at him, he now stood almost right next to James seat, which was five rows in front of Isabella's. She could see James panicking, she wanted to help, but it was almost like she was frozen. James was bitten several times, he screamed for help, soon those screams were silenced too.

She didn't know what to do, when the walker walked in to her direction. Isabella backed off, further and further, her back hit a wall. The walker and her were almost head to head, she tried to push him and hold him away from her. His skin was slightly gray, his mouth and clothes were covered in blood and his skin felt cold. Isabella thought this was her end, when all of a sudden, a baseball bat hit the walkers head.

A man, standing in front of her. „Are you hurt?"
He asked.

„No."

He took her with him, she told him that she had to find her family and had to go to Atlanta.

The man said, that there were too many of them on the way there, but he will get her to Atlanta, she just had to wait for a while. So Isabella stayed with him and his wife for a few weeks. Normally she wouldn't go with strangers, let alone live with them, but she had figured that this was the safest option. They were really nice, he even showed her how to fight walkers and gifted her a knife, it had her initials on it.

I. E.

Isabella really liked them, she almost felt sad to leave them. But it was too important for her, to find her sister, her family.

•••

When they finally made their way to Atlanta, they quickly realized that the city wasn't save at all, the city was filled with walkers. So they ran as fast as they could. When Isabella had finally found a place without walkers, she turned around and he was gone.

Isabella Espinosa was alone again. And a group of walkers came in to her direction. She fought a few of them and ran afterwards. Eventually she run in to a small side street, climbed up a ladder and went into the building through a hole on the roof. She went downstairs and when she knew she was save, she instantly fell to her knees, she was exhausted, from all the running.

Isabella only looked up, when she heard a nice „Hello."

A young asian man standing in front of her, behind him, a blonde woman, a not so nice looking man, a Afro-American woman and an Afro-American man, and another man in his thirties.

„Hi."
