I knew when I woke up that morning I knew that things would be bad. Call it what you will, intuition, a sixth sense. Either way, I knew that everything would change. I knew Something was different. What I didn't know was that over night the world I lived in was torn into chaos. I guess I should clarify what happend.. it was monsters. Well... kind of. they are unlike anything I had ever seen, they eat human flesh and are ravonous and evil. They run fast, Faster then any human. They can smell blood from a mile away, and they are hard to kill. The have large rotten teeth, almost like fangs. And They have claws, five inches long each and they're coated in a poor inncoent victoms blood. You see these aren't simply natural creatures. They're a pack of mutations. A labs mistake that were to strong for them to handle. At first it was just ten but then they started targeting others. They knew the people they wanted, the strong, the healthy, the smart, the powerful. All these traits would still be there and thats what they wanted. If you didn't have those things then they would simply tear you limb from limb and not bother changing you. So who am I? Well I'm Danny Worsnop. The last of the armogenden, and the only reason I'm alive is that I'm smart and I'm not afraid to die. You have nothing to lose if your not afraid to die. Thats my one advantage, I can take risks in trying to escape because I'm not afraid to be killed. I've been travling with my best mates Sam, Cam, Ben, and James. So far it's been two years with no hope of a cure, so the way I see it it's every group for themselves. I protect my friends. Everyone else is on there own. I'm no hero and I don't plan on becoming one. Maybe that makes me selfish, but desprate times call for desprate measures.
"Hey Danny.. Sam Got scratched... bad." Ben said
"What?! By the Biters?" I asked in a panic
"No, No calm down. When we went over that fence Sam got a gash from the barbed wire but he didn't say anything because he knew we needed to keep going." He explained
"Oh thank God.. we can't lose Sam too. Just bandage him up, we can't risk him getting anything in there" I instructed him.
"Alright.. and Danny?"
"What Ben?"
"Well... I've been thinking.. Are we ever going to be safe again? Will be ever be able to stop?"
"Not 'til were dead." I sighed.
As much as I wanted to lie to Ben, I wouldn't. He knew just as well as I did that this is the way things are now. There's now use in hopeing or dreaming when theres no chance of something better. Besides, I live in the Biters world now. I would't know how to live in a regular society anymore. I've taught myself to do what I have to so I can save what I can. There's no two ways about it.
Ben gave me a some what pitiful look and went to go adress Sams wounds. I may be selfish and a complete ass at times, but I'm not going to lie to Ben, he needs to know the truth. That this is the world we live in now. Surviving, not living. Doing what we can, when we can so we survive for another day.
"Guys, we're on the bottom floor. This place may be borded up but the noctournles could still get in, we should move to the middle floor." I instructed.
They all simply got up, Sam with Bens help, and we moved to the next floor. I guess you could say I was the leader of our sad little outfit. But that was only because they were my friends, they trusted me to do the right thing and to save them and I sure as fuck was going to do everything in my power to.
"We have to leave in the morning... if we leave an hour before sunrise we should have enough time to get away... the nocturnles will be gone and the biters won't be out yet.." James said
"Yeah.. but for now we need to be quiet."
I guess I should explain what the nocturnles are. You know how humans supposedly evolved from monkeys, well thats what happend to the noturnles. They eveolved from biters, and there better in every way. They're faster, stronger, meaner, they have huge albino wings that carry there body with ease, and they see better. They're the better hunters in everyway eccept for the fact that they can only see at night, and they're pale skin burns in the sun. Yet they are just as leathal, if not more. I guess now you truly see what I mean when I said that these mutts weren't natural creatures.
The guys all fell asleep after we had a small meal, consitsing of the few bits of food we had. I stayed up, watching and making sure we didnt have to run. Everyone took turns at this, there was never a time when any of us felt safe enough to all be sleeping. I just sat there and tried to plan where we would go. Not tomarrow, but for good. Was there any place where we could stop? Was there any time that we could be ourselves? The chances were slim to none, but just maybe in this big wide world there's somewhere safe.
