The world was struck with a serious virus that turned infected mindless and feral. In other words, Zombies, a Zombie outbreak.
It was a very serious and scary situation during the outbreak, which took 5 months to spread all around the globe. Almost every human was infected and either turned into feral zombies or died painfully. Luckily, not all humans were infected during the outbreak. About a few thousand in every country weren't affected by the virus right away, but that didn't mean they were immune. They had a chance to prepare for the worse, the infected that turned were dangerous and scary. They had to survive.
Now, 8 years later, somewhere in the state of Texas on what is left of the United States, a city survives. a refugee for those who aren't infected, and those who want to survive. It is free from the horrors, large and thick walls that keep them safe from outside. Clean Water and Electricity, something that seemed to be lost forever. A large farm that grows wheat, corn, and many needed vegetables. Shelter, something that is appreciated. A safe city that everyone in the outside world seeks to take refuge in.
The city is SafeHaven, founded to keep people safe and they live their lives in peace. But despite the city's great atmosphere, there is a dark secret and history, like there must always be.
What was sacrificed to keep the city the way it is? Who made sure that SafeHaven was successful? Those are questions that the people don't seem to know the true answer to.
*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft.
"I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening."
Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus.
When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4.
