The Virus Called Red

What has the world come to zombies running in fear, humans spreading the virus. Ever since the virus the air was thick and it was hard to breathe. Until they searched and found us that was the worst day ever. They had escaped the lab and infected the first of us we have been running in fear. Now there are very few of us still living or walking. Before I go on I should introduce myself my name is Ruby but everyone calls me Red. This infection started a few years ago and we thought that it was under control but soon the virus learned how to adapt so it could infect even animals. Many of us had hid where we knew there would be little animal active. We knew that this was going to happen zombies were getting respiratory problems we soon started to care when it started to take our children. This virus had us going broke because of how much we had to pay to keep our children alive. The doctors said this was the strangest virus they had ever seen they couldn't stop the multiplying. They had named it R.E.D it stands for Respiratory Experimental Disease.This was the one disease that had started to spread to the rest of the world. More and more zombies had gotten this virus. I was named after it because I was the zombie who first got it I also was the only to survive. Everyone who was with me had hope but what they didn't know was I was not like them I was a G.M.O (genetically modified organism) as they called me. I had almost twice the immune system as a normal zombie. I could heal a massive cut in only a few minutes.

I had not even shared this with my closed friends but my mother had this done to me my father had died trying to travel across the world to share what he had found my sisters had been moved to a lonely town with my relatives in Montana. My mother had then passed when the outbreak started. I was on my way to go get my sisters when I had been noticed but many zombies in hiding. More and more zombies would start following me I had told them that they had to stay because it is not safe anywhere than where they were. But every time they would follow and more would die. I had made it into Wyoming when something strange happened the grass had been dead up to this house its like it had a dome around it preventing it from getting the worst of the outbreak. There was an couple probably thirty or forty just rocking in their rocking chairs. They looked so happy until I passed their house then they sprinted toward me I was shocked. They had ran faster than me and I was half their age. They had carried a small child with them they were frantic they had held the child out to me and I saw that it was infected. I said that I couldn't do anything to help the child they both started crying I said that if they wanted to come with me then we could go to a hospital. That gave them a little bit of hope. They followed me to Montana we made it a few miles then they introduced themselves the woman's name was Margaret she had beautiful blonde hair, and the prettiest green eyes and her husband's name was Richard he had dark brown hair and brown eyes. Their sick child's name was Schell. She was only a few months old. She had blonde hair that barely curled. You could definitely see that she got that from her mother. She had gotten her father's eyes from what I could tell they were mostly clear. She had reminded me of my little sister.

We had continued until the hospital I knew that there wouldn't be cure for their child but I let them continue we never crossed paths after they went into the hospital I continued. I took refuge in small abandoned houses it took me three days to get there. I finally got there they had been locked in a small room in the basement of the house. I had to break down the door and they both screamed and ran toward me. They were scared but happy at the same time. I told them that we would leave in the morning. But something strange had happened I asked my sisters where their guardians went they said they had to kill them because they were infected. I told them that we would gather up supplies and leave in the morning. I went through everything and finally found a jar of brains the best kind too they were pickled mmmm. My sisters and I had shared the jar of brains. Slowly after that they both fell asleep I had to keep watch out for those infected zombies (called humans.) I would go out of the room for five minutes at a time if I would go out for longer they would soon start to cry. They both had missed me so much that when they saw I had left they would come after me. The saddest thing was I had to tell them that both of our parents had died and that is why they didn't come with me to rescue them.
