Inspired by this song! Enjoy~

Florent's POV

It had begun 10 years ago; the zombie apocalypse. Others say it all started with the dead coming back to life, but I know what really happened.

Flashback

Scientific on tv: We have discovered how to be immortal! Finally! We only need you to test it! If you're interested, go to **************** and ask for the immortal treatment!

End of flashback

That's how the first infected were created. Beside smelling and looking like rotten walking meat controlled by the first infected, which is almost all the things that contain me from becoming one, they did become immortals and its kinda cool. Still, I don't want to become one JUST to be immortal, it would be stupid and crazy. And to reduce the risk of being beaten I joined the last living humans from my city. Our little crew was composed of my best friends, Elianna and Nat (Nathan)who are 19 like me, some guy we met on the road named Jess who is 18, the flirty girl known as Dianna who is 17 and Nat's little brother, Daniel who is 6. Each member of our odd survivor group had a specific job: Jess was the army brain of our operation outside the well made bunker, Elianna was the weapon expert, Nat was the inventor, Daniel was our little optimist sunshine and Dianna... well... she was there... yeah... she was annoyingly there to be more specific. Anyway, for me, I was the one leading the group. Without me, Eli and Jess would be fighting endlessly.

On a normal day, we were preparing to go on a food searching expedition. Daniel wanted to come, like always, and we, Nat and me, told him it was best if he stayed in the bunker with Dianna since she doesn't wanted to get "dirty" and break her oh-so-beautiful fingernails out there (note the sarcasm). When we left, he was still pouting but he gave us a smile before the doors closed. We then started walking in group toward a new city. We were very cautious and stayed in silence until Jess came to me to talk.

(They are whispering)

Jess: Hey Florent, what plan are we doing today? The "Divise" to cover more or the "Stalker" to be safer?

Florent: I thought about the "Stalker" but it depends on the number of infected in there.

Jess: 10 4.

He then got back behind me and we continued our walk toward the place. It was long but we stayed alert for any weird sound that could be suspicious.

The walk was long and too peaceful, but we finally made it into the city. Weirdly, there was no infected roaming so we decided to split apart and alert the others if there was anything happening. For me, I went to the extreme north of the city... or should I say town? since half of it was destroyed due to the attempt of "eradicating" the zombies. Anyway. I found a surprisingly well kept building with a grocery at the bottom and a drugstore right besides it. 'Oddly convenient. Let's see if those still have something inside.' Before going in, I told via my com my coordinate to my crew and they did the same as we wished each other shit (good luck brings bad luck).

As I entered the grocery store, I automatically saw that there was still a lot of perishable products meaning the city had survivors not so long ago, or at least it was abandoned recently. To prove my words, there was still some vinegar bottles, salt boxes, fruits, a lot of canned food, eggs and milk that didn't looked rotten since the fridges still worked. I packed the most I could in my food bag and cautiously made my way toward the drugstore. Like the grocery store, this place had still a lot of furniture. Again, I packed as much as I could in my bag. Before leaving, I heard some rumbling coming from the very back of it. I cautiously made my way to an alley, my hand gazing over my gun slightly. Walking slowly and without a sound toward the end of the alley, I slowly peeked around the corner and saw someone, yes someone, crouching over some bandage. The person looked quite panicked and, honestly, I was frozen in place. 'My thoughts about this place were true then?' I carefully walked toward what looked like a boy around Daniel's age. My com made a beeping sound and the boy's head shot in my direction. I, once again, froze in place. Nether of us talked, only stared. His blue-green eyes held fear and panic, making me unsure of what to do. The silence was heavy and I couldn't bare it. 'He doesn't look like an infected. Talk to him, idiot!' Sighing, I decided to be the one breaking the silence, only to be cut before even starting by the boy.

(Almost whispering)*

??: D-Don't kill me p-please!

I could see he was about to cry as he covered his head with is shaky arms and closed his eyes. But that only made me more confused.
*
Florent: Wh... Why would I kill you?

As if he wasn't used of having an answer (well... kind of?) his ocean eyes opened wide and looked at me in shock. I, at this point, was beyond confusion until I realized that the kid must of thought I was a zombie. Like if faith wanted to prove everything I thought today, the boy seemed to relax after a realization.
*
??: I t-though you w-were an in-infected...

Florent: An infected would of made more sound that me, kid.

Nathan on the com: Flo, where are you?

I looked at my com then at the boy before taking it and answering.
*
Florent: I'm still in the drugstore I found in the north sector.

Nat still on the com :p : Ok. We were worried that a zombie got you.

Florent: And why is that?

Nat (u got it): A group of infected is heading your way so... be careful on the way back, Flo.

Florent: Thanks and I'll do my best.

Nat: Shit then.

Florent: Shit to you all too.

I putted my com back in its pocket before giving all my attention to the child.
*
Florent: What's your name, kid?

??: T-Thomas

Florent: Well it's really nice to meet you, Thomas! Mine is Florent.

Thomas: Nice t-to meet you t-too, Florent.

I warmly smiled at him then quickly frowned, remembering we were still in danger. We had to escape the horde of infected coming our way. I wasn't going to leave that kid there to rot like everyone else. I looked back at the kid and started to explain him the situation.

Florent: Thomas, I would like you to come with me and my group. You would be more safe with us than here. What do you think?
