Chapter 1 - Camp Blue Sky

Upstate New York,

Camp Blue Sky

It had been three years since the apocalypse started, three years since everyone's lives had changed forever. Everyday was a fight for survival in this new world and loosing people was a guarantee. As Molly woke up all she could think about was all the people she'd lost in this world filled with Zombies. Hell they had given Mercy to someone just last night but Molly knew it was for the best, the old woman was struggling and she made her decision.

As she was getting ready for the day her sister Addy walked into the tent giving her a bright smile. Molly thanked God everyday that she still had her sister, if anything ever happened to her she wasn't sure if she would be able to live. Addyy was always there to help put a smile on her face even in the darkest of times. She was the only family that Molly had left and she would die to protect her older sister.

Molly found it hard to get close to people after the Z's came but she had two other people in her life that she was close too. Mac, who was Abby's boyfriend yeah he could be an ass sometimes but he'd always been there for her. Then there was Doc, he was like a father figure to her. He always looked out for her and treated her like his own and she was thankful for that as her own parents were never really there for her, it was nice to have someone who cared.

Molly was snapped out of her thoughts when Addy spoke "hey so we're meeting dumb and dumber today, seeing if we can get some new weapons. You coming?"

"Yeah sure, need to see if they got any more arrows for my bow, maybe a quieter gun too" Molly said while picking up her hunting bow and slinging it over her shoulder. Since the apocalypse started she had become a master at using it, one of the best. She preferred the silent weapons hence why she also had a machete that was clipped to her belt. Guns were too load, just drew more Z's in.

"I'm just going to pack my bag I'll meet you outside okay?"

Abby nodded as she made her way out the tent. Molly always liked to pack a bag when she left camp, just in case there was no camp to come back too. She put in some clothes, a first aid kit, water and some snacks enough to last a couple of days if needed.

After she'd finished packing to bag she wondered outside seeing people doing their chores as she headed to meet up with Addy, Mac and Doc. Seeing them at the edge of camp she quickly ran over jumping on Doc.

"Jesus kid! You can't scare an old man like that!"

Molly just laughed "sorry grandpa"

"Yeah whatever let's just get moving I got some stuff to trade"

As they walked to the meeting point, Abby and Mac In front as Molly walked next to Doc.

"So when you say you got stuff to sell, it's not that pink meth again is it"

"Yup and some aspirin" Doc smiled as Molly sighed

"You know they won't buy that shit meth you cook right? Last time he came to me complaining it gave him a headache"

"That's what the aspirins for"

Molly laughed at Doc, he my be crazy but she wouldn't want him any other way. As they approached the meeting point Molly spotted the weapons in the back of the truck immediately making her way over to check if they had any arrows.

"Yo M! My favourite customer" Sketchy said coming to stand beside her. Molly let out a groan, god she hated this man and his shameless flirting.

"Just looking for some arrows Sketch" she dryly replied

"Well it's your lucky day sweetheart I just got some new ones, they're lighter and travel farther" he pulled about 10 arrows out of the back and handing them to her. She weighed them up in her hands before giving a nod of approval.

"You did good Sketch" as she walked passed she patted him on the back

"So how about that kiss?!"

Molly turned around but kept walking backwards towards Doc "why don't you go kiss a Z! I hear they're into biting"

She winked at him as everyone else let out snorts of laughter at her comment, she just loved to tease the poor guy. She made her way over to Doc who was trying to bargain

"How about a dozen aspirin for half a dozen of these reloaded 223's?"

"No way! Can't kill a Z with aspirin"

"Yeah? Well what happens when you get a fever huh? Can't kill that with a bullet" Molly butted in but he ignored her and just shook his head. She sighed turning to face Addy who was swinging a spiked bat, I gotta get one of those she thought to herself.

Suddenly they heard growling from the trees, Molly got her bow ready to fire before Addy called that she'd got it. Molly continued to aim her bow however, just in case something went wrong. The Zombie came charging at Addy and just before it got her she whacked it with the bat.

"You okay?" She heard Mac ask

"Yeah just, it was fast"

Molly knew Addy was shaken even though she would deny it. She looked down at the Z's body "shit, it's one of the Baker brothers"

"Awh no did Z's get red? He was one of my best customers" Sketch whined.

"Wonder if his brothers know?" Doc asked

"I would say it's a safe bet because here they come" Molly stated aiming her bow once again but Mac got there first then another came out but Addy handled that one with ease. Once they were taken care of Addy and Mac looked at each other, oh god they're having one of their moments Molly rolled her eyes, she would never understand love.

Suddenly a forth Z came charging for Mac who was caught off guard, he held it at bay with his arm. Molly thought fast and fired an arrow hitting it straight in the eye. Mac turned to her giving her a nod of thanks as she went to go collect the arrow, wiping the blood and brain matter from it before putting it back into the quiver.

"Well it's closeting time boys and girls"

Everyone quickly packed up their stuff and the new weapons they had gotten. Addy was recording what had happened on the camera Molly had given to her for her birthday last year. Her sister thought it was important to record the events of the apocalypse for future generations, if there were even going to be any.

After Addy was done they all silently started making there way back to camp blue sky. They heard gunfire in the distance and ran until they came to a small clearing where they could see that camp had fallen, Molly just hoped that there were some survivors out there.

"Doc call Warren and Garnet, see what's going on"

Doc nodded taking out his walkie "hello camp blue sky? Warren, Garnett are you there"

After a moment a voice barely came through "Doc? What's happening? We aren't at camp"

"It's bad guys, Z's everywhere! We think everyone might be dead"

Okay...coming...get you"

Doc hit the radio out of frustration turning to Molly "let's go!"

They all started running through the forest away from the camp, they saw the bus and Molly let out a sigh of relief, at least they got the kids out. But that relief didn't last long as a Z appeared, Molly gasped clasping her hands over her mouth trying her hardest not to cry as she ran towards the bus, she needed to know if there were any survivors. As she got near the bus it crashed into a tree, skidding to a holt Molly listened to see if anyone could still be alive.

The back door of the bus burst open and Z's came running straight for them. Addy grabbed Molly's hand pulling her along as they ran the opposite direction, through the trees. They ran up a small hill thinking they had lost them but stopped immediately in their tracks as five Z's turned to face them. But before they could charge at the group a truck came and knocked all the undead to the ground.

Garnett leaned out the window "get in!"

Molly threw herself into the bed of the truck with Addy and Mac as they yelled for Warren to go. As they sped off away from the Z's Molly slumped down against the side of the truck.

Camp blue sky way gone, their home was gone. What the hell were they going to do now?
