The city was going wild. People--including Harley--were huddled around TVs in shop windows. There were two news anchors sitting at their desk, talking about how a crazed man went  and bit and killed someone in Europe. And then how it started to spread.

       But as he was speaking, Harley looked over to the woman on the screen. She had clawmarks all over her unusually pale skin and her breathing was unsteady and rapid. Almost. . . desperate. But then the screen blackened.

       The city had never been calm, but as the mysterious illness started to spread here, the military came, shooting anyone in sight. Undead or alive, it didn't matter. To them, one less person alive was one less potential walking corpse. Harley was hiding behind the dumpster, facing her makeshift tent that she had called her home for about a year. All she could hear behind her was screaming, crying, and gunshots.

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.

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

The Deadly Walkers / PJM by Nash_Writes97
21 parts Ongoing Mature
A mysterious virus outbreaks and begins something no one ever was ready to face. From rich cities to small towns in South Korea were destroyed and plagued by Zombies, otherwise known as Walkers. Park Jimin never thought he would be in the center of an apocalypse, witnessing the worst reality. A year passed, and he fought to survive, hiding from not only the walkers but also a vicious group called Dolda, who was after the girl he had as a friend since the start of the apocalypse. He hasn't met any survivors whom he could call good people, as the people they ever met either tried to kill him and his friend or stole from them. He thought the word humanity didn't exist anymore, but his thought was proved wrong when he encountered his ex-best friend, Kim Ara, whom he despised. Kim Ara was strong enough to face anything that came to her and brave enough to survive the apocalypse with her group. However, a secret was buried deep inside her, and she didn't want anyone to find out about it, especially Jimin, whom she had met after a long time. SNEAK PEEK: Astonished, Ara looked at Jimin, who was already pointing a shotgun at her, and rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If you want to kill me that badly, why don't you shoot me?" She stepped toward him, gazing at the guns on the shelves. She took a Rifle in her hand, adjusted it, and pointed back at Jimin, who seemed unfazed by her action. She smirked as she closed one eye and looked through the rear sight. Pin-drop silence filled the air as you both stood there, aiming at each other, eyes focused on each other. Ara could see how Jimin's muscles flexed and contracted, and his sharp jaw clenched tightly while his teeth pressed against his lower lip. Her irises trailed on his arms, her mouth curving into an 'o' shape, seeing nerves popping out of his skin. She couldn't help but find him sexy and felt her stomach flip-flop due to it while blood rushed to her cheeks, almost forgetting that she was at gunpoint.

Book one finished! - "Zombies? Is 'zombies' the appropriate term? Zombies don't exist, they DIDN'T exist, but now these monsters are real...too real." - "I lunge out from the darkness and into the light of day, stabbing my knife through the eyeball of the nearest biter. Jane draws back her bow, aiming at a biter that's further down, closer towards my SUV. After a moment she let's her arrow go. Zipping through the cool air, flying past five other biters, the arrow nails one right in the forehead, knocking it backwards a couple feet."
