"You've seen them?" The newcomer wailed, her eyes darting back and forth frantically. The leader of the group stepped forward, his face dimly lit by the single bulb in the room. "We've all seen them." He gestured to the motley mix of people around him. A sob of relief tore through the trembling girl's chest as she threw herself into the leader's arms; he fumbled to catch her. "What are they?" She cried. "We don't know." The girl looked up, her desperate gaze locking onto his pained one and she whispered, "How do we stop them?" A shudder coursed through the leader's body as he remembered what had happened to him when he'd tried to intervene with the Fittest's actions. His eyes watered profusely and he lowered his head, stricken with grief and shame. "The answer's simple," he replied in an even quieter voice. "We don't." I'll add a better description later. I'm too tired right now. XD

What would you do if one second you were struggling to survive with your friends and mother in tow, and then you wake up to find yourself with a group of strangers the next - all during the country's takeover of blood-thirsty zeds? Megan couldn't believe her eyes. Her brain was muddled with confusion she couldn't get rid of, no matter how many times those strangers reassured her and explained what happened. But she had to accept it, even though it didn't make any sense to her. Megan had been with her mother every step of the way since everything turned to chaos, beginning just a year before, and now she was nowhere to be seen. And on top of that, she had the zeds to deal with. Ghastly creatures that used to be human, carrying a virus that's spread through a constant hunger for flesh from the host, spreading through bites and scratches. It didn't exactly make it easy to prevent getting infected. Things could have been worse, though, Megan thought. She could've been left all alone to ponder over her thoughts and fear over the future. It'll only be within the time spent with the new group will she find out that everything's not as happy and welcoming as it had seemed. These people had a few secrets of their own, including the real reason they took Megan in. She would soon find out just how far people would go to ensure their own survival. -------------- Please check out my first finished novel.
