The Virus Called Red

The beginning

I was not going to tell them yet because I did not want them to be sad I would tell them when the time was right. The sun had risen and we were on our way we met many Zombies and had shared many stories about almost coming in contact with humans. We had spent a day with them and had to continue on our way. We were trying to get to the place called savior island. I had heard about this island by the humans. they were talking about how the zombies were all gathering to go there but then I heard them say that there were going to be armies with the cure wait if anyone decide to go. We changed course and headed to the north to Canada. We were not the only ones traveling to Canada. As we were traveling I found a couple of horses and we had ridden to north dakota when we were apparently spotted by some b.u.z. They were called this because they were big ugly zombies they are the meanest zombies out there.

We tried to go around them but they came after us (they were fast runners). Apparently we were going through their territory but they said the whole world was their territory now. I had jumped down and they saw who I was and bowed why they would bow was the most confusing thing ever. We asked if they had any supplies and they said no but they did have three more horses. So they offered to protect us as long as we let them come along. So the six of us headed up the trail that had been just stommped down by some other z.rs (zombie riders). We followed this road for hours and hours. Then we suddenly stopped I hollered up to see what was going on and there was no response. I told Kat and Eve to stay back and hide just in case something was really wrong. I slowly walked up to the front and saw a group humans surrounding the leader I had to hold back my scream. This was so bad I went back to the cart that Kat and Eve were in and told them we had to go we got on two horses and rode as fast as we could past them. I don't think I explained this but we you get bite by a human you turn into one. We looked back and saw the other members of buz following us at least we had some protection. We finally made it to a house that we could take cover in. I told the buz to watch my sisters and to make sure they didn't get hurt. While I checked out the house as I got to the window I saw a small box in the middle of the room. I opened the door to find a box laying half smashed on the floor and inside the box was a puppy that had been abandoned . It was a normal puppy to us but the the humans it was a diseased little mutt. I decided to take this little guy in as a guard dog. His fur was a dusty red color that shined in the little ray of light that was coming in a hole in the roof. His feet were too big for his body he was a very clumsy puppy. Also he had just gotten his teeth.

After I fed him I went and got my sisters we were scared from what had just happened after they were calmed down we went into the house. The little puppy jumped up on my sisters and I told them he didn't have a name yet. We took a minute and named him Alexander after the the leader of the buz. We all got into the house and made sure that no one could see us. We really protected the house there was a shift system that we followed I was the first and last shifts. I sat on the roof and watched the house. It was a dark night the sun had just set and the stars had started shining and only a few clouds came across the sky. Looking across the sleeping land I think about how peaceful it is and how I wish I could make everything go back to normal. I sighed and enjoyed the fresh air checking on the house again I looked in where everyone was sleeping and seen a shadow looking out the window. I slipped back into the house through the small window and walked over to the shadow. I lightly tapped the shoulder of the commander from the little group we picked up.

"The air is so fresh out here isn't it" I whisper and wait for a response.

"It makes you miss the old days when life was simple and none of this mattered" he whispered in a raspy voice.

"Follow me" I say a little louder walking over to the small window climbing out of the house. A few minutes later he comes up on the roof. I may not have told you much about him but he is a tall man who has a slender stature and is muscular. He has dirty blonde colored hair. His is Eliza he is the leader of the smaller group that we met on our way across the country. Since we have combined our groups the total number of travelers or refugees has now become a group of 12. We had to be careful and make sure everyone was safe. As he sits down a light breeze flows past us making me shiver.
