**COMPLETED**

Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. 

That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country.

Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's.

Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. 

But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.All Rights Reserved

"Rejected Subjects" - - - The story begins with Cyra, a twenty-three-year-old Korean American woman who has survived an entire year since the infected reached Washington state. Now, she's searching for Isabelle, a ten-year-old girl who went missing after an otherwise uneventful night. Along her journey, Cyra encounters survivors wearing animal masks. They lend her a hand, and she soon joins their group. Within them, she finds people she can call friends, choosing to spend her days in their camp while continuing her search for Isabelle. But those peaceful days don't last. In this macabre world, the infected aren't the only threat-humanity itself is just as dangerous. Bandits and hostile survivors cross paths with Cyra's group. Tensions escalate, culminating in a war between factions. The aftermath delivers a bittersweet ending that forever alters Cyra's perspective on reality and its cruel, unforgiving nature. - - - WARNING: This book contains strong language, violence, and other mature themes that are not suitable for young age.

Matthew, curly haired, redheaded, and a pain for Hazel. But he leads her to a group of survivors, who present a nice face but have plenty of things to hide. And after they whisk Hazel into the midst of their troubles, she gets pulled into even deeper secrets that should never have been created in the first place. Hazel isn't scared by much, but what she finds out among them will terrify her deeper than she could ever have thought. ---- This is my first Wattpad story, copied and pasted from a Google Doc. it is still a work in progress, so if you see any mistakes - plot holes, typos or otherwise - PLEASE contact me.

zombie apocalypse | the fallen (book One) [REWRITING] by optic_poison

Firstly, A trigger warning for mental health/ self inflicted wounds when reading. you're only 18 years old. your name is zoe. you always had a love for the apocalypse but didn't think it would truly happen. and you slowly learn that nobody is who they say they are. Nobody is to be trusted. Things are gonna fall apart, and nobody can save us now. This book is being rewritten again and hopefully is better than the first and second time it was published. It's kind of cringe most of the way. Wrote it when i was like 13-14 years old or something and tried rewriting when I was about 16. Didn't work. Trying to rewrite it again at 20 but i don't think the first two books are saveable. Book three so far however is going well(i believe anyway). The second book has also been rewritten and will be rewritten again. now I'm working on finishing book three. All characters are mine but ellis is not I will be changing a lot of character names again in this rewriting process in all books, ellis being the biggest.
