"Hey, are you all right?" a blonde girl with black glasses perched on the tip of her nose bends over, reaching out to the old man who's fallen to the ground.

The man looks up with blood leaking from the edge of his mouth, eyes looking but not seeing. He opens his mouth as if to speak, but he can't. A strange gurgle rumbles out of his thoat as his arms reach out to grab the girl, scratching her with the tips of bone that poke out from his fingers, drawing blood. He lets out a louder moan, a battle cry of sorts, ripping his mouth open, and clamps his rapidly decaying teeth onto her arm.

"H-Hey! Let go! Stop it!" the girl screams. She kicks the man frantically with her boots, trying in vain to get him to let go. The zombie screams, and she screams with it. Her knees fail her, and she drops to the ground.

"Hey! Girl! Are you okay? Can you move? What happened?" one young bystander goes to help her, grabbing the undead man's inhumanly soft shoulder and pulling it back. "Hey man, you need to stop!"

The girl lunges at the kind boy who tried to help her, sinking her teeth into his neck.

"Hey. Hey! What are you-?" he shoves her back with all of his strength, and the girl crashes into the stack of shipment crates behind her. He staggers back, clutching the bite mark. A horrible feeling begins to crawl up his neck and the bleeding doesn't slow. His collar quickly turns crimson. His eyes widen as he finally realizes what's happening. The other bystanders are already backing away. "Help! Someone help me! I don't wanna die! I-" he never finishes his sentence.

The three undead rise again, arms waving in front of them, searching for prey. The groans fill the street as the townspeople flee for their lives.

August 8th, X768.

Today is the day I die. District Ten has fallen. The military won't get to us in time. My only regret is that I couldn't celebrate my daughter's eigth birthday with her like I promised. I hope you know how much I love you, Marisol.

Blood stains the paper crimson through the merchant's plain white shirt. He lurches up from his seat, turned into a monster with a face still wet with tears.

"Your underground haven has been breached. There is nowhere to run to, your only hope is to hide. Time for a game of hide-and-go-seek! I wonder how long you'll last, humanity!"

A/N: Here's the prologue! I hope it was good! (I know the rest of the fanifics on my account are crap, but they're old, and I've gotten better since then! At least, I hope I have!) Anyway, please tell me what you think! All feedback is helpful. Thank you for reading! :)

Okay, I know it's really short. I'm going to make the rest of them longer!
