When We Awoke

When We Awoke

0 INK

The world has ended, and something less than alive, but more than dead has taken over.

453 readers have visited When We Awoke since RedWren223 created it.

Introduction

"My name is Ana Petrelly, for all who are listening I have a message. The world has died, im not even sure if im real, or any of this is real, but if you are recieving this braodcast I will be at the airport every day from sun up to sunset, please, if your out there, give me a sign"

The world as we know it has ended, when a cancer medicine was created to terminate all cancers the world believed it was a miracle. After just a week half of the medicine users failed to show signs of improving, the other half, dead. Those who died, well, lets just say, they didn't stay dead. The process was slow, but after they died the virus spread throughout them, reanimating thier brain cells, thier motor functions and memories were gone, but they were no longer alive. They had the most basic of needs, the need to feed upon human flesh.

It happened so quickly no one had time to react, the zombies began to ravage the land, killing everybody. Hoard after hoard attacked, killing anybody alive. Sometimes your lucky, if there is only on zombie then its easy to escape, but as they say "theres power in numbers" and thats what the zombies use. After it started, nobody knew what to do, but a few rules were established amongst the only survivors, the only way to travel was by walking or car, dont drive on the highways they are all blocked, never enter a big city unless you absolutly have to, and last but not least, never turn your back.

Now that the world was in ruin, the survivors kept dwindling, untill finnaly there was only one radio broadcast left. Nobody knew her, even she didnt know herself, Ana Petrelly wouldn't give up, everyday she broadcasted from her bus, then she would wait at the airport, a place that surprisingly is devoid of zombies. her location; Atlanta, a large city with thousands of zombies. Everyday is a struggle, ever since the outbreak there has been no rain, no snow, nothing but the heat, nature was re-taking everything, the zombies were beggining to...Mutate, into creatures like no other, sure they were still zombies with a flesh fetish. But something else clicked, thier reanimated brain cells became smarter, they didnt make noise when they moved, they even became faster.

It was a dog eat dog world now, or should I say Zombie eat human? Without an answer she waits everyday, untill she recievs a broadcast...From a man in alaska, saying they have shelter, and food, Alaska was supposedly zombie free. But the only way to get there would be Ana, who is the only one to have responded to the broadcast. Will you be brave enough to venture from your hiding place to find this mysterious girl? Or will you wait and rot away as the world does? Its your choice, and your story.

The blazing hot sun beat down on the seemingly young girls back. Her name? Lilith Aleka Tyler, a young girl of sixteen traveling alone along the overgrown roads, her feet making cruniching sounds as the rocks beneath her feet slid this way and that. She could remember when she was young she used to play on roads like these, with rocks instead of asphalt. Lily shook it away, remembering was too painful, too..Unbearable.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and in the palms of her hands. Normally the heat was never this bad, but as she got closer to Atlanta the more the days seemed to drag on. Without warning a Geek appeared from nowhere. Lily frowned, it was one of the unimproved ones, slow, stupid, and with a flesh fetish incredibly dangerous. she didnt even kill it as she kept walking, listening as it followed her. As long as it was one that hadnt been mutated then it wasnt that dangerous, it was the ones that had that were dangerous.
Basic Geeks were like everything you see in those movies, stupid, mindless, and run by its hunger. But imagine if you will, a Geek that has brian function, can run, and has no problem creating traps, now those were dangerous. As they neared anothe resting place the dark haired girl turned, facing the Geek, she pulled from her belt a simple butcher knife. As the Geek neared she aimed for the head and threw the knife as if it were a dart. It hit dead onto the target and died. Lily took the knife out of the Geeks head and continued on her way to the gas station that was up ahead. If she was lucky there was a car to hot wire.
I know what your thinking? That she is bad for hot wiring the old peice of junk car that sat at the gas station, well then get another opinion because she needed that car badly. She knew how dangerous travelling on the road was, escpecially if its as hot as it had been outside, she could have easily have been subdued by something as simple as heat stroke, then she herself would have become a Geek after death. If she was going to die, then she would die fighting. Smiling to herself she continued her work on the car, sighing in defeat with the hunk of junk wouldnt start.
A tap on the window shook her from her thought. what the hell? Cautsiously she looked out the car window, keeping the door shut. What she saw wasnt a Geek, it was....Damnit, a mutant Geek. Great, now they look human. She thought as she pulled out her gun, she forced the door open with all her might, knocking back the Geek who then started coughing...Wait coughing? Geeks didnt cough.She raised her gun and pointed, making sure it was loaded first.
"Who are you?"
__________________________________________________________________________________
"God Dammit"
Cursed Ana as she held her now heavily bleeding arm, she had been trying to secure a tight rope around a platform so that she could raise it up above the planes wing, but obviously it hadnt work, the rope snapped, slashing her arm and causing her to fall on her butt into the planes newly made door. Indeed, she had been modifieing this plane for months, trying to make it into a sort of living space. Inside the seats had been expertly torn to peices and in the pilots quarters everything had been torn out and replaced by the cushions to forma s ort of bedroom. She had smashed all the windows in and put tarp over them so that if a Zombie was coming then it atleast wouldnt see her. On the outside of the plane were little tiny bells, rescued from a random house she had raided not to long ago, so if a Zombie came she would hear then.
Remembering her now bleeding arm the blonde haired girl held tight on one end of the rope while using her bad arm to grab her bag off the edge of the platform. Digging in it for a moment she found what she needed. But first she would have to make the platform stay, grabbing the snapped end of the rope she tied it to the good end, making it as tigh as she could and then stood back. She jumped off the platform, bracing herself for the painful impact as her legs hit metal. Atleast she knew the Platform would hold her.
Ana sprayed anti-infectant on her arm, then bandaged the large gash. hopefully the airborne transmission rumor wasnt true, or else she would be in trouble. Turning towards he radio she sighed, it was sun up, and she had forgotten to braodcast again. Taking the radio in her hands she clicked it on and began to broadcast on all stations.
"My name is Ana Petrelly, for all who are listening I have a message. The world is gone, im not even sure if im real, but if anybody is out there, please answer, im in Atlanta, and everyday at sunup to sundown I will be at the airport aboard the plane with the words MI-12-Survivor."
Ending the braodcast she looked around, all was clear. Not a single Zombie in sight, nobody but he, alone. She would have been happy to atleast have a Zombie there for compony. But no, it was just her. Ana settled the lawn chair onto the now stabler platform, held up by six ropes attacked to the overhanging roof of the building, she sat in the law chair, and settled herself down. The sun was hot, burning her, turning her skin into a shade of red now. She sighed.
"Sure is hot out today isnt it"
She turned her head. Normally an old man would have been sitting to the left of her, staring out over the expanse of the airport, two months ago he was ambushed while conducting a raid. To her right would have been Miss Foxxy Q, no one knew her real name, but everybody called her that. She drowned herself six months ago. All the survivors except for her had died, in all there had once been twelve of them, now they were all gone.
"Hello?"
Shocked out of her memories she stared down at the little device still in her hands. Her radio....Had it really gone off. She switched it on and spoke rapidly.
"Yes? Hello? Im here? In Atlanta?"
She finished, then there was no answer. Just another trick of her mind.......................................
(As soon as your accepted you may post, I left it off so that if anybody wants to not travel alone you can travel with lily who just discovered another survivor)

Reap, recovered his balence. His coughing seizing after a second. He shook his head and looked the girl up an down. Young, but alive, with a gun to boot "Im Reap" Shes most likely a mirage, pityHis voice was weak at the moment, and his right arm bleeding badly from a large cut on it. "And if you don't mind i need a favor. You see" He leaned against the car on his back, mumbling a curse when his right arm shifted a little. "see i just got through with this geek and the fucker managed to use a broken bottle to slice my arm open, as you can see im bleeding profusely and about to black out." He shuddered and swayed a little then. "So do me a favor, when i hit the ground grab the lighter out of my pocket,and knife, and a bullet from your gun, use my knife to cut the top of your bullet off pour the contents across the slice on my arm and light it. That will burn my wound shu...." His eyes closed and he fell to the ground before finishing.

What...The...Hell. It was the only thing going through Lily's mind as she walked over to the man, was he real or not. Wether or not she did as he said, staring at him the entire time. She wasn't sure if he was real or not. when she had finished fixing him up she grabbed an old energy bar. She sat on the hood of the car, not bothering to move the guy who was most likely a mirage. Too, bad, if he was real then she wouldnt have to go to Atlanta alone. She opened the power bar, and began to slowly eat it. She had raided a house not long ago, but all that was left was a bag of beef jerky, six power bars, wich she had eaten three already in the past few days, and a bottle of water, wich was gone. She stared at him. Suddenly, she got a great idea, leaning down and picking up a peice of the gravel on the ground, she chucked it at his leg as hard as she could, if that didnt wake him up from passing out, then she would just leave.

As the gravel hit his leg his eyes opened and his upper half of his body jerked up. "who what when where why?!" His Australian voice was frantic as he looked around him. Eyes lingering on the girl as his memory flooded back to him. He looked at his arm, and the now burned shut wound. Before letting his head fall back to the ground as he offered a silent prayer. before speaking "good, so you are real." He quickly got to his feet, popped his neck before swaying slightly. "oh dear...bloodloss effecting me, what i need is..." He dug in his pack after placing it on the ground. He pulled out a pack of blood, the kind u get at the hospital. Good, i have one He stuck a needle into it and withdrew a vial, then inserted the needle into him and injected it. He repeated this till the bag was empty, then tossed it on the ground. He then looked at her again, walking over to her he poked her forehead....twice before backing up. "ok, im real, your real so either were both alive...or im dead." He checked his pulse, thankful to feel a heartbeat. Then noticed what she was eating. "Reduced to powerbars huh? we'll you helped me so i owe you" He reached into his bag and pulled out a Ziploced sandwich. Acquired earlier that day int he same event that got his arm cut, he then pulled out a canned Dr. pepper and placed them both on the hood of the car. "So whats your name mate?" He had a quick voice, that seemed almost jumpy and quick to change gears. Making him appear slightly crazy yet sane at the same time.

Thank god hes real.... Lily brushed her hair away from her face and smiled, she looked at the sandwich for only a moment before declining.She wasnt sure what was on the sandwich, and she was a very strict vegatarian, no matter how hungry she was. Sighing she straightened out her clothes. she was thankeful for he was real. She looked at it, then back at him.
"Im Lilith Tyler, but dont call me Lilith, how bout you?"
She could hear how horribly her english accent stood out, she had always had the accent, having lived with her mother for so many years she just never shook it away. She was glad that he was actually real, and that she was no longer alone. Then she remembered throwing the gravel at him, she scratched the back of her head, slightly embarresed. Lily once again brushed her hair away, watching him cautiously. She wasnt very trusting of him, sure he seemed nice enough, but she was still jumpy and skittish and those werent good to mix with trusting people, she sheepishly grinned at him, turning her charcoal eyes to examine him for the first time.
"sorry bout' throwing that gravel at you, just had to make sure you were real and not a...well, figment of my imagination"
Finishing the powerbar she slid from the hood of the car and grabbed the mini radio out of her bag that sat in the car.
"Are you here because of the broadcast as well?"

Yeah, i heard it and came here hoping its real..." He looked at the sandwich. "you know you really should eat, even if its just bread and cheese. Its better than surviveing of powerbars lil..mind if i call you lil? or lilly...lilly is a nice name, like a lilly pad, free uncaring..just floating on the water..." His eyes gazed forward as he went into silence and assumed a far away look on his face. as if the house was there but no one was home...After a second he shook his head a little before reaching into his bag again. "If you don't like soda i also have...Gatorade, water and...a weird green liquid picked up from the produce isle of Walmart, but its tag has been worn off so i don't trust it. I also have a bag of spinach and some celery...love celery and ya know its important to stay in healthy condition in this damn world. Thats why i always snag some celery when i rade a store...Risk losing my head over it but all the same"or in this case my arm!! Really got to be more careful in major stores He placed his bag on the car and checked his belt..."hey wheres my knife? you still have it?"

"Oh yeah, sorry"
She handed him the knife, smiling as she took the sandwich, well, atleast it wasnt meat. She nodded her head in thought. She had been alone on these roads for so long she hadnt really ever thought there could be another survivor alive in this hell hole of a world.
"Well, seeing as were both headed in the same direction, hows bout we travel together...um, sorry you still havnt told me your name?"
She said sheepishly, taking a bite from the sandwich.
(sorry I hadnt posted in a while, been a bit busy with work)

Sure, traveling together might be fun...Haven t seen anyone in.......a year, a few years? i cant remember." In truth he remembered very well. But preferred to block them from entering his memory, Bad memory's can kill ya, good ones will save your life "You can call me Reap, Lil." He sheathed the knife on his waist, looked at the empty blood bag a few feet away. "Maybe we should go before the remains of that attract some geeks. So can you hot wire that car you hit me with the door of alone, Or you want some help hm?" Back in his old life, before the end of the world Reap had been three things the first was a fighter, the second a street racer, and the third a car thief. Who would have guessed that all three would come in handy after the world ended. He bent down and picked up his bag, hanging it over one shoulder.

Lily grinned, great, now she wouldnt have to travel alone. When he mentioned the car her face turned red, the stupid hunk of junk was the only car she had ever been able to not hot wire. She shrugged, opened the door for him and dropped her grin.
"Normally I can hot wire cars, but this thing seems to have problems with me."
She laughed. Then went to the back door on the left side of the car. She threw her bag in and thn proceeded to enter the passengers side.
"I suppose you want to drive, or would you rather me do so?"
She asked, she was a good driver for not even having a liscense, the world ended before she could get it. But oh well, there were no cops in this messed up place so there was no point in having a license anymore. She grabbed her grun from her belt. Laying it on her lap so that if there were any Geeks on the raod she can do a drive by to sharpen her skills.

Ill drive" Reap examined the car, popped the hood and went over to it. He rummaged around inside the front of the car until a popping noise was made. He closed it then came to the front got in the drivers side and pulled out his knife. Using it he popped the black turner on the ignition revealing only metal, he then dug the blade in to the now fully revealed hole and twisted causing the engine to start. He shut the driver side door and turned on the cars radio, he then pulled out a CD from his bag and placed it in the cars CD player, ACDC soon began playing and he rolled down his window. "Now lets see if we can make it to the airport in one piece Lil" The car made a small rumble as he pressed the accelerator and pulled out of the gas station onto the near dessurted road. "At least we don't have to worry about rush hour eh?" He laughed a little at that.

Re: [OOC] When We Awoke

Hey, you should post some wanted adds in the greeting forum and roleplayers wanted forum. Actully if you like i can do it for you...?

Re: [OOC] When We Awoke

no its moreso based on a mix between resident evil (the newest one) and the walking dead, I guess there are some references to I am legend but not alot. You may post if you wish, I already made my starting post so that when people join they can just jump in. If you dont want your dude to be alone at first then I made it so a random person can travel with Lily who just discovered another survivor.
