Run! 

I could hear my mother's words ring in my head. The same sweet voice that she used to call my name with was now filled with terror. Before I could process her transition, I ran. 

I'd never seen her this afraid. When she hugged me for the last time, I could feel her body shivering against mine. Her eyes were flooded with tears that she tried to contain. The only word that escaped her mouth was...

Run!

A zing of pain shot through my thighs everytime I clashed my leg against the hard surface of concrete. My lungs were gasping for air while I quickly exhaled with every step. But I couldn't stop... I have to... 

Run! 

The city lights looked like stars from a far away galaxy but nothing was beautiful. I could hear footsteps behind me, walking in sync. The never seemed to leave me behind. I don't know how long I've been running but the pain in my body indicated it had been a few hours and I still hadn't lost my chasers. 

Run! 

My head was crowded with so many questions. Where was my mother? What did they do to her? Why are they chasing me? Why do I need to run? 

My head was hurting, my body was aching but the terror I saw in my mother's eyes made it clear that I had to run... And never get caught at any circumstances. 

I wish someone was there. I'm tired... I'm tired of running. 

My whole body had started shivering everytime I placed my foot on the ground. After all, how long could a fragile child with lack of experience in doing physical labor run for?... 

The footsteps get closer and closer and my hope got weaker and weaker. My body was tired and my mind was exhausted. There was only one thing ringing in my ears... 

Run!

50 parts Complete

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
