The Anti-Virus

-Chapter 1-

(A/N; Yes this is based off of one of my favorite video games of all time, "The Last Of Us" I want to thank the Naughty Dog Entertainment who sparked my idea to turn their video game into a story of my own. I'm sorry for any copyright, I can assure you it wasn't intended. Thank You and happy reading fellow readers!)

Hi, I'm Jasmine. I won't bother telling you my last name cuz, you won't remember it anyway. I have two siblings. I am the eldest of my sister and brother and in 8th grade. My parents love each other and both work where they met. The most known hospital in the Chicagoland, St. Judes. Right now I'm in 3rd period, L.A. I love this subject. I didn't do my math homework. I was currently doing it while my teacher, Mrs. Thomas wailed about how we all passed our Nouns test. I tuned everything out as I struggled with Algebra. I finished when I saw everyone looking outside the school window. I sneaked a peek past people's heads and saw about 4 ambulances pass. In my 13 years, I'm sure I have never seen 4 in a row going to the same place. We were dismissed to go home for lunch.

I rode the bus home and asked my parents to go to the store and help restock the fridge and pantry. My mother was at work, and my father agreed to drive me since he was on his lunch break. He dropped me off with my sister. My sister is 12, everyone says we look alike and think we are twins. Her name is Trey. We are actually  16 months apart, so yeah. We sped around getting a huge amount of canned and boxed products. We got 5 boxes of Twinkies for an upcoming project. I passed an aisle were my friend Jessica stood staring at two posters of a band called, 'Pierce The Veil' I waved and she nodded and went back to looking. We got our stuff and put it on the conveyor belt, where our neighbor Bill, who worked here helped us check out. Bill has brown hair that reaches his shoulders, handsome facial expressions and a shaggy beard. He always was our favorite neighbor. He was 23 and had a dog. He taught us self defense and combat in his backyard for safety reasons, since we live near Chicago. 

He helped carry our bags out and we thanked him. I told him he looked extremely alike to the actor Matt Damon. He smiled cheekily and went into the store after telling us to come over after school because our parents were working late. I thanked him again and got in my dad's car. We were finished stocking and went back to school. We were taken to the auditorium for a Snicker's promotion. I saw my other best friend Elizabeth, We called her Ellie. Her short red hair and green eyes were hard to miss. She reminded me of Trey, my sister because they both always wore their hair back, where I left my hair down. I waved to her and we sat and listened. About an hour later they passed out samples. They were delicious, and I rose to leave when the auditorium was barged open by people. They were sick people. They had mold growing on them, they tackled people and started eating others alive. I got sick and threw up everything I had inside of me. 

I hid and found my sister. Ellie came over and found us. Since we were Bill's students, he always made us carry pocket knives and blades. But they were only used when we really needed them. The S.W.A.T team came in and killed some. From my observations, there were two types. They were only able to be destroyed by taking a bullet to the head or somehow destroying the brain. We fled the school as soon as we could. Trey was freaking out and Ellie was calm. She always anticipated this to happen. She probably didn't really care because she was an orphan. She was only cared about by my family, Bill, and her boyfriend and our friend Emilio. We were searching for him when I heard my name called, "Jasmine!" I turned and saw the most gruesome fatality I never would  have thought of.

-Ellie's POV-

I was looking for my boyfriend Emilio. His black hair and tan skin stood out. I was looking for him and another friend Jessica. I found Emilio after hearing him scream Jasmine's name in his cute mexican accent. I turned around to face them when he was impaled to the stomach. He stopped and looked down, he looked at us and he said, "I love you all, I will see you later." I screamed and ran towards him. He was lifted up by a hideous one of them. These were the other kind, they were a nasty dark green paste colored skin and yellow eyes. They were about seven feet high and made a gurgling noise. It ate Emilio's hand, causing him to bleed out onto the cement, sputtering all over the sidewalk. I screamed and decapitated it as it got on all fours to eat.
