Devastating, fatal and incurable virus known as the corpus animatum virus (C.A virus for short) virus or the Z-Virus swept through the world killing millions destroying lives and communities and leaving the one populated planet and abandoned like wasteland theses are infected early pass away way reanimate and become known as The Undead or zombies. The origin for the virus is unknown some believe it was a fail attempt at the cure for cancer others believe it was invented by military scientists for chemical warfare either way worst thing is known that it is incurable and it's spread through being bitten by infected individual. Now ten years after the corpus animatum virus first appeared 97% of humanity is either infected zombies or are deceased/Dead and only very few survivors remain and to such survivors are Reptile enthusiast Drake and shy Georgia and this is how the two meet in the unlikely world.


~X~

Georgia peaked her head around the corner of the now abandoned mall luckily the coast was clear no zombies in sight "thank goodness" she whispered to herself her soft accent was almost noun existence she took one last look around before she stepped out her shoulder length brown hair was messy tired up and she had dyed zombie blood splattered over her Jean's and vest she clutched her bat tighter and slowly made her way down the path and made a dash for the pharmacy and ducked under the security doors which were halfway down only giving her a three foot high gap to slip in though. Georgia eyes glanced around and suddenly a female half decomposed zombie attempted to attack her and gasped and raised her bat and it with two sticking sounding hits she killed it and stepped back its blood splattered into her cloths and cheek" she she made her way to see if anything was left "I hope I'm alone" she didn't have time to check to see if this place was occupied by other survivors and left the backdoor open so anyone or anything could walk in

Drake grinned as wandering around in the same mall, being very silent. His stomach grumbled and he let out a soft sigh. He looked around before pulling his hoodie up, moving quickly. He may be wearing dark clothes and sticking to the shadows, but he wouldnt be safe forever. He passed by some rooms that wouldnt help him, before seeing a pharmacy. He grinned and walked over to it, and noticed the back door was open. He looked around before pulling out his Swiss Army knife and walked right in, not expecting to see anyone besides a walking corpse.

(I just saw what you did with the title. I love it.)

//thanks I thought a pun/Dad joke might fit it.


Georgia placed her rucksack down and started putting in any pain medication that was still in date as well as any first age supplies like plasters bandages she sighed to herself "sometimes I wonder what is the point off trying I got no one" she said talking to herself as she placed more supplies into the bag and looked around she was worried she had forgotten something "the door" she said realising she left the backdoor open and grabbed the rucksack she had to close it before thoses things got in this was a good mallet had a pharmacy, a toy shop,Cafe,Camping store,food courts and many clothing stores and her personal favourite a house furniture store with warm beds "I cant let them take over I only just cleaned them out" she said

He had gotten inside and hid, shocked. He never had seen anyone alive in years, let alone a girl. His introvertedness exploded before he shook himself, telling himself that safety in numbers is needed. He coughed, trying to get her attention and feeling awkward and scared.

Georgia spun around quickly in alarm and raised her bat ready to strike her greyish blue eyes widened at the stranger "what the?!" She said and looked the young male down "are you bit....infected can you talk?" She almost demanded she not seen a survivor in three years and was surprised to see A young male around her age she pushed her glasses closer

*im human.* he said, hands up. *im assuming you havent seen anyone besides zombies for a while. same here.*

Georgia rolled her eyes "actually I just got off the phone with Doctor Stephen strange and his best friend Alan Grant" she said and lowered the bat ahe was unsure if she sould tell him her name he was a stranger and what if he was a more bad survivor known to kill others for their survive and kidnap woman "I'm surprised there is another survivor thought they was wiped out" she said

(Whoooo references)

He nodded. *same here. Then again, I did have a run in with bandits a few months ago. I think theyre zombies now.* he noted. *so, who are you?* he asked kindly, trying to get her to relax and not bean him with that bat.

//thought you notice marvel and Jurassic park

Georgia gaze shifted to the floor "name?" She said softly she wasn't sure if she should give him her real name she didn't know him yet "My name.....call me Apache" she said giving her old codename in her former group and Apache was a helicopter her former group code names were all helicopter's astley lived on a private airbase before the incident.

He nodded, smirking and getting the reference. *then call me Dragon.* he said. *trust me, I wont hurt you. Im not a raider or a bandit. If I was, you would either be dead or I would. Im just trying to survive, just like you.*
