Snow, Ice and Zombies?!

Chapter 2

Chapter Two- What next?

If you have followed to this chapter I am surprised because as I am writing this story it feels like I'm not writing it like I should but just keep leaving comments to help me out thanks.

To my shock it isn't my family or a good friend that is holding the axe, it is a masked figure wearing a military grade black webbing belt and camouflage pattern uniform, the figure slowly turns around and peers right into my soul as I lie there frozen and still out off breath from breaking down the door. Then I look behind me and see my fiancée well what used to be my fiancée now it is just some ugly maimed animated clod of blood and gore moving towards me, again the axe saves me but this time something different happens I get a boot to the face. Stars erupt in my peripheral vision and slowly the world turns black. The last thing I see is the figure walking away and a herd of zombies slowly making their way to the smell of a fresh and easy kill.

I awake with a start but quickly realise that I am chained to a bed and can't move. I try to shout but all that comes out is a harsh croak. Next to the bed is a cup of crystal clear water luckily I can just reach it with my cuffed hands. I grab it and take a few gentle sips before taking stock of my situation. I am in a small rectangular room that looks like it hasn't been re-decorated within this last millennium. The bare white walls silent witness to untold horrors, the floors a dark grey colour from repeated use, to one side is a rectangle of glass I can't see through, it reminds me of CSI in the interview room with the one way glass. The only light comes from the single naked bulb flickering directly above me. Behind me a door slams open and footsteps approach my innate figure, the footsteps stop behind my head I try and see who this mysterious person is but only get a gag and blindfold before hearing the handcuffs being unlocked and a female voice, whispering in my ear: "If you so much as twitch without my say so you are dead." I feel my body being lifted and dragged across the floor towards an unknown fate.

5 Hours Later...

"So Tom I see you passed the tests with flying colours."

"Yes Ella I did they where challenging but I succeeded.'

"So why give it all up you had a nice life in the military and yet you give it up within hours of being there, why?"

"Well Ella let me explain what happened. The tests started with the usual stuff; How many press ups in a minute, how many sit ups in a minute, how long does it take you to run a mile and a half. And then they said they where taking me to a "Real Life Awareness Yomp" or ReLAY for for short. The first thing they did was dress me in full paintball gear but they gave me a rucksack filled with "Supplies" that I had to carry through a modified paintball/Assault course while being shot at and I had to return fire at anything that moved. There where soldiers dressed as Zeds and Enemy Militia but then one came out dressed as a civilian and I hesitated, I must have stood there for about ten seconds when I feel a tremendous pane in the small of my back. I had been given a point blank range shot from a high powered rifle and I hurt like hell and then they shouted at me for hesitating and then alarmingly for not "killing" the civilian and that's what got me I then realised that if they expected us to kill civilians then I didn't want anything to do with it so I took my rifle, any ammo I could get and the clothes that I stood up in and legged it. And the rest is as you say history. After I had managed to sneak past the guards I headed east hoping I would find an inhabited village or fortress and I did but these where inhabited by Zeds and bloodstains. I finally stumbled upon an underground bunker, that was the last thing remaining of what I think was a house and that was my shelter for about half an hour before the military caught up with me then once again I ran and all this happened in about an hour since I left the compound. Then as you know I collapsed in the middle of Battlesford and you found me."

"Yeah I remember you where in the middle of the street luckily you weren't noticed by the local bandits and undead. You where in terrible shape, you had cuts all over you, you where exhausted and could barely keep your eyes open let alone walk or speak."

This is only updated because I have kept a certain reader waiting to long I am still working on it so don't have a go at me thanks.
