Chapter 1: Just the Past
Jay and Alexandria had just settled down from being swarmed by a hoard of zombies. The had settled in an old, 2 story apartment building. Alexandria was scoping out the scene while Jay sat on the stairs.
Jay was thinking of his brother, Douglas. He and Jay were ruthless, killing any zombie in their path. Unfortunately they had two split up and Jay hadn't seen his brother since. Alexandria was a friend of Douglas and was with him while they were seperated. She knew what had happened to Douglas years ago.
3 years ago.....
Douglas and Alexandria were running down an ally way as a hoard of zombies were ganging up on them. Alexandria was an innocent 14 year old was unsuspectable to killing. Douglas was 2 years older than her and was already a trained killer. She already knew that Douglas had a brother and knew why he wasn't with him.
Meanwhile, the hoard of zombies kept closing in on the both of them. Douglas just kept shooting the zombies down on by one. He already knew it was the end for one of them, but he didn't want it to be Alexandria's end. He told her to crouch down near one of the dumpsters and hide from the zombies while he fought them.
"Stay here, I'll take care of everything just stay safe," he warned her.
"Okay, I will" she replied.
Douglas went towards the hoard with a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. He picked off each zombie one by one until one of them bit him from behind. He turned around and shot it in the face. Douglas glanced down at his shoulder seeing a bite mark filled with blood. Stunned, he didn't know how to tell Alexandria that he got bitten and that this may be the last time she'll ever see him. He then ran back to the dumpster where she was hiding.
"What....what happened to your shoulder?" she fearfully asked.
"I just got scratched by a metal pole from an old ladder, I'll be alright" he lied.
He wanted to break down inside, but he couldn't just for her sake. More zombies gathered at the ally and both of them were running out of time. He took off his gear and gave her all the weapons he had except one knife. There was a metal ladder leading up to the rooftop of the building.
"You have to go now!" He yelled.
"But... but what about you?" She asked him teary eyed.
"Don't you worry about me, I'll see you on the other side soon... I promise" he smiled.
Alexandria though he meant the other side of the building, but no. He meant the greatest place anyone could go to after death. He fought off as many of them as he could while Alexandria climbed up the ladder, but he eventually lost. Douglas was gone.
Alexandria was staring down watching him fight off the zombies up to the moment of death. She started to break down losing her mind, bawling her eyes out unlike ever before.
Minutes later, she knew that he wouldn't like her like this. From that moment on she didn't show a sign of weakness and did her best to boost her intelligence.
1 year after Douglas died...
"Hello???" Jay yelled.
He was walking in to an ally way. Jay was the same of Alexandria at the time. Both of them we're 15 at the time. Jay was still wandering the ally as Alexandria followed him from the rooftops. Jay looked up noticing the girl and waved to her.
"Hello, I was wonder-" he got cutoff.
Alexandria went to the ladder and slid down it ever so gracefully. Jay just stared at her noticing her quick and swift actions. She then grabbed a gun from he back pocket and aimed it at Jay.
"State your business," she asked.
"I'm looking for my brother, Douglas" he explained.
Stunned she dropped to the floor remembering the exact event that had traumatized her. She knew who he was talking about and was in disbelief that his brother was alive....
