"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

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. 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. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story by CrystalScherer

This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

On a war decimated earth, there are few safe places, and even fewer safe cities. All that's left are ruins, woods, and cities where humans are trying to build society again. No one knows the truth behind the war, but it is believed the ​Strongs began it. And so, to stop it from happening again, they are killed. Most humans now have an affinity of varying strength for one of the elements: fire, earth, water, air, and rarely ​mind. There are some who have a Strong affinity. The ​Strongs are able to manipulate the elements - and are killed for it. Fighters are born without an affinity and trained from a young age to kill the ​Strongs. Their gift of being unaffected by the Strongs' power make them ideal assassins. Makenna ​is a Strong Fire. ​She and her best friend Halima, a medium mind,​ have been on the run from Makenna's mother for the past two years. Drystan Aston, a Fighter, and a childhood friend of Makenna's, is dead set on finding them. As Makenna and Halima run for their lives, and Drystan chases after them, all three will uncover startling truths about the world they live in. Will they discover the whole truth in time to stop the disaster? Will Drystan finally complete the quest he has been dead set on for the last two years? Or will Rhona, his Strong mind grandmother, be proven​ right?
