Chapter 1 = Welcome to Hell

My name is Theodore King, or Theo to anyone who knows me. I am 17. I am in foster care. Or was. You see, the infected came the day after I turned 17. I woke up that morning to find the house empty. No carers, no children, nobody. The house looked like a riot had taken place. The furniture was broken and tossed around, the windows were smashed and there were blood smears on the walls. I walked out of the house, not bothering to change out of my school uniform, to find an abnormally quiet street. This is when I had started to panic. Where the hell was everyone? I had heard of the illness up north. People being quarantined, people dying from this so called illness. Of course, the tv and radio reports I had listened to were far from the truth and reality. I heard quick footsteps from behind me and spun around to look down the street. There was a woman, early twenties, jogging up the road, holding a baseball bat and a golf club. Her face, clothes, and the bat and the club were covered grime and blood and god knows what else. She spotted me form across the street and held up the bat in a denfensive position.

"Are you safe?" she called across.

"What?"

"Are you infected?"

"Erm, no?" I answered. She quickly ran across the street, grabbed my arm and pulled me into a seemingly abandoned house.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous it is, standing in the middle of the open like that?" she asked.

"What do you mean, dangerous?" I asked hesitantly.

"Wait, y- you don't know?". She sighed, placed her hand on my shoulder. She then explained as much as she knew. That the flu had mutated people into savage creatures, or zombies. How the government had covered it all up to avoid a mass panic, but the government now no longer existed. How the whole country had gone into shut down and people were fighting for their lives against these cannibalistic creatures. How a few people were lucky enough to be immune to the illness. I knew staright away that this woman, who I had never met before in my entire life, was telling the truth. I, like everybody else, had seen the early warning signs of the illness, but took no notice. People looking sickly and dropping evrywhere, plants dying, animals dropping dead. When she finished, this woman who I now placed my complete trust in, extended her hand.

" The names Karen, what about you?"

"Theo" I answered and shook her hand. She glanced at the two objects in her possesion and handed me the golf club.

"Well Theo, welcome to hell."

Okay, so this is my attempt at a fanfic, so don't be expecting a literary miracle. Please review, it would be awesome if you did. You can be really nice, give opinions/ideas, or just give me hate mail.

I have other chapters almost ready so if I get enough reviews, i will continue this story. :D
