The Last of Us

Chapter 2: The Outbreak

 I finally understood why my dad had put me through all of those self-defense classes. He was training me for this, so I would have a chance at surviving.

~3 hours later~

 I looked over at the clock on the wall, 6:30. 30 minutes left. I got up and put on the black armored military suit hanging on the wall and put the other one in a duffel bags. I opened one of the duffel bags and put as many supplies as i could in it. I then put 2 pistols in my waistband and a semi automatic rifle over my shoulder. I looked back at the clock, 7:00, time to go. I got up grabbed all of the bags and walked up the stairs. I walked into the kitchen. On the table there was a little note sitting next to a set of keys. "In the garage there is a Hummer, take it and drive to the safe-zone I told you about. I will always love you, Dad."

 I picked up the keys and walked into the garage; I put all of the bags in the backseat and started the car. "Here we go." I put the Hummer in reverse and floored it busting through the garage door. Everything happening outside was utter chaos. People were screaming and running, trying to get away from the infected. But once they got you it's hard to get away. I quickly put the truck in drive when people started to notice me. They started yelling at me to stop and let them in, but I just drove away. Running over anything that got in my way, I sped over to Cassidy's house hoping I wasn't too late. When I finally reached her house everything was quiet. I grabbed my gun before getting out of the car and walked to the front door, only to find it kicked in.

 "Cassidy, are you here?" I quietly walked in the house with my gun out in front of me. I made my way over to Cassidy's room. When I walked in I noticed there were bodies in front of the closet door, it was her mom and brother. I opened the door only to be tackled by a very scared Cassidy. "Get off me, you're crushing my body with your fatness." I shoved her off of me and stood up."What the hell is going on," Cassidy yelled, "I woke up this morning to my mom and brother attacking me!" She pointed that the dead bodies lying on the floor.

 "Did they bite you or anything?" I looked at Cassidy's arms to make sure she hadn't been bitten. "No, I'm fine." I pulled out the little black box and took out the syringe. "Here, give me your arm." I stabbed the syringe in her arm and pushed the immunity into her veins. A dark purple design appeared on her arm. But it was different from mine. "Wait what is this?" Cassidy looked down at the design. "I injected you with the immunity, now you won't turn if you're bitten." Cassidy and I walked out of her room and into her kitchen. "We need to get everything that's non-perishable food and put it in here." I handed her the black duffel bag with the other food in it. "I'll be right back." I ran back to the car and grabbed the duffel bag with the armored suits in them and ran back inside.

 "Hey Cass, put this on." I tossed the bag at her. She took the suit out and walked in her room to put it on. I put the rest of the food in the bags and put them back in the car. "Hey, do you have anything that we could take to use as weapons?" She walked out holding her brothers baseball bats, "yeah we can use these." She handed me the bats and I put them in the car. "It's time to go; they're starting to gather around the house." We jumped in the car and we drove away. While we were in the car I explained everything that was happening and where we were going.

Cassidy sat there for a little after I was done explaining things to her." So where are we going now?", she asked while turning to look over at me. I pulled out a map from underneath my seat and handed it to her. "We're going to a safe-zone that was set up for people that have the immunity." I pointed at a red circle drawn on the map. "The safe-zone is in Washington D.C, so by the looks of things...it's going to be while until we get there." Later that night we started looking for a place to stay the night. A couple of hours later we found a house a few miles outside of town.
