In 2965, a devastating virus has swept the planet. Half of the world's population has expired. Another quarter of them continued to die in the wars that followed the virus.

After the virus was gone and the war was over, the children of the children who survived the virus and the war were looking towards a bright future.  As they grew into adolescence, they discovered that they weren't like thier parents. Something in their genes, leftover from the virus their parents had, gave them powers.

In 3016, Kennedy Meyers is running from soldiers. The North Kingdom  wasn't very fond of the Contaminates, the children who obtained powers through their parent's viral genes. Private compounds had been built to house the children, to protect them, and to teach them to control their powers.  Kennedy has set her sights on a particular compound in the East Provinces.  This is where she is going. This is where she needs to be.

*****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.

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!)

When the six kids were taken, they were just infants. But when the needles are sterilized, they know something bad was about to happen. Years later, their powers were fully mastered, and the thoughts of escaping creeped into their minds. Oblivious to the limited amount of others in the facility, they try their first escape, though that fails once one gets captured. As they see new faces and explore outside their domain, they struggle to escape from the twisted minds of the adults. They'll all make it out alive... Right..?
