The Myea Border’s Story

 

“God save us all!”

Hello readers, its been weeks since the outbreak began and hell has broken it’s chained gate. Dead have been coming back biting, eating, and devouring the people. God honest people. Readers I would like to inform you of my best friend Myea, she was bitten a few hours ago. She is asleep now, not dead, I have been checking on her. Dear readers I would like our story to be known,

I met Myea two weeks ago, a week after the epidemic occurred. I was on the roof of the Portsmouth mall, I had it supplied for a ten year plan of a company of five. It had and still has plenty of supplies there, weapons, ammunition, you name it. If anyone wants to attempt to get it, go ahead, I only kept two 45s, a Deskov, and a semi automatic shotgun. That day, that I saw her, through the scope of my Descov, running from a horde of the dead. I sniped them off and saved her, but I know she could have handled it herself. She noticed the horde decreasing, I’m guessing. By the time that they were all gone, she was looking for the source of the dead bodies behind her. I got a flare out by this time and lit it, I then descended the ladder. I was no more than one-hundred and fifty yards away. I had though she noticed me.

Two zombies come from my left and my right, I capped them with the 45s. A man came running towards me, he was screaming like an idiot. I could barely make out what he was saying.

“Oh God, help me! They are coming! Hundreds of them!”

“Sir, climb the rope ladder and stock yourself with weapons and ammunition! When you do this, shoot them, keep shooting, until I get the girl up there!” I said in an calm, hearable voice.

The man pants and changes his direction towards the ladder. I start running towards Myea to get her, she started running towards me and we reached each other in a matter of moments. By the time me and Myea reached each other, the man, that I had never learned his name, starts shooting my spare Deskov. He wasn’t and didn’t take out hundreds of them with the Deskov.

“Miss! Take this to protect yourself,” I hand her my semi automatic shotgun. “Stay close, watch my back, and stay behind me at all times!”

“Ok.” That’s the first word she ever said to me. She said it with an understanding, I felt relief.

I took out a submachine gun, that I had looted days before, I don’t know what kind it is either, and I started mowing down the zombies. I wasn’t shooting to kill, just to get them out of our way, so we can get to the roof. It worked until I had to reload, they got closer, and when I got it loaded the gun jammed. I took out my two 45s and started shooting head shots..

“Aim for the head, my plan backfired. So I need you to Shoot! Do you understand what I’m saying Miss.” I started shooting the crowd of zombies.

“I understand and my name is Myea!” she started shooting as well.

“Hey, You! Take the Ak47 and start shooting! Using a Deskov takes to long!” I thought he was getting the Ak47, during this period of time.

We are only 50ft away from the building. The man climbs down the rope ladder and starts shooting like crazy into the crowd of zombies. He runs out of ammo in time to be consumed by the crowed of the undead. I had just stood there with amazement as they devoured him. Before they were done I took Myea and ran to the ladder. I let her climb first, then I did.

Readers I do ask you to remember her. She risked her life to save a kid. Young Samantha, is alive and well, here with us. I put her in the medical room because, one its safer and two her leg needs proper treatment. I do beg you readers, to remember Myea, she was and is the sweetest /kindest person you would meet. She has been my world these past two weeks. We are locked in the base right now, I begged the military personnel to let me stay with her until the infection kills her. This is my plan, within the past weeks I had fallen in love with Myea, so I’m going to stay in here, she will reanimate and bite me. I will die beside her, by her will.

When you get to close to someone and love them during this time, you can’t help but want to die when they do.

Back to the story. That was the first time I met her and I felt a connection. I believe she did too, because of the twinkle in her eyes.

I know we didn’t have long to pack and get out of there. All the noise that had happened, will attract more zombies. I had packed, before this, three packs that each had its own supplies: 1. Medical, food, and water. 2. Ammunition and small caliber weapons. 3. Clothing and personal notebooks to record events. I packed my pockets full of ammunition and reloaded my weapons. Myea got her pick of weapons and packed herself full of ammunition. We had left that day at noon and headed north.

I wasn’t use to traveling and hadn’t gone anywhere more than a state away. I am declared as an inexperienced soldier, until I have experienced it all, but one soldier can’t experience it all alone, he can’t experience it all. I am nothing more than a humble protector of the weak and hopeless.

I was only a Doctor, I had never really been anywhere. I wish I had I wish I lived my life to the fullest. I was a Doctor, I did well for myself and my family lives down south. I staid up here and finished college and became a doctor to the city I had loved. I had partly wrote at times and what I was told, a pretty good artist. I surely wish I had lived my life to the fullest.

I hotwired the truck in which I had come here with, I had lost the keys trying to get to the roof with the supplies a week before that day. I drove for hours until I began to get tired.

“Do you want me to drive? You look tired.”

“Yes please. We need to find a place to stop soon though,”

“I understand.”

“We have maybe three hours worth of gas.” I pull over and get out. We switch sides and she had started driving.

Myea is moving again and starts coughing, wheezing even. The military personnel nocks on the door.

“Leave us alone! I was told I could stay till the infection takes her over completely! Austin I sorry, but I have to!”

Austin leaves the door. Myea starts coughing up a storm.

I had fallen asleep and staid asleep for almost three hours, my watch had went off and woke me.

 

“Were are we?”

“Salem. Well actually outside of Salem. If we were in Salem we would be surrounded by them.”

Ok, lets load, clean, and polish the weapons. Then we can eat. Lastly we move towards Salem and try to find any survivors.” I pause for a moment. “Why don’t you just rest while I fix up the weapons and I will wake you up in two hours so you can eat.”

“Thanks, I will take that offer.” She laid down and slept.

I had a weapon ready for defense so if anything comes, I’m ready. I also had two crowbars, so if we needed them we could use them, and we did.

The things that happened that day, were not something you would be proud of, but it is something that had to be done. I had to help those people, even if they had been infected, they were, but helping the infected comes with consequences.

Myea coughs some more and opens her eyes. “Hey.” She says in a faint voice.

“Hey, how are you sleepy head.” As I said this she laughed . Her chuckles lead her coughing a lot.

“I feel better darling.” She says, still sounding faint.

I chuckle and kiss her. “I missed you.”

“I missed you more.” She chuckles and kiss again.

Myea Borders was and is one of the few survivors who still have a heart. During my helping the infected, she went off to get Samantha, the daughter of the recently deceased Borders, is Myea’s sister. The two people I went to help were there parents. By the time I had patched up Mrs. Border, Mr. Border had died and reanimated, I hadn’t noticed until he was behind Myea, she had just reached Samantha, when her father bit her arm.

It depends were you are bitten, to know how long you have to live. Biting the neck takes nearly an instant effect, just wait a few moments and the person will reanimate. Biting on the arm takes nearly four to five hours. On the legs and feet take nearly twelve hours. Now I don’t know of any other way, then contact, how to get the virus, you might can receive it from the water and it might be air born. Who knows. I have no idea how it started, but I was prepared.

Myea was bitten no more than four hours ago. I can ell that she has become weaker, she has become paler. I wish this wasn’t happening, but it is.

Before I could get to him and Myea, her father’s brains were spattered everywhere, I had looked around seeing were it come from, but didn’t see. By the time I had got to Myea and Samantha, there mother had died and reanimated and was coming toward us. Again another shot had occurred and her brains were splattered everywhere. I had looked around again and at that time I had noticed moving.

“Hey you over there, we need medical attention!”

All that replied was the sound of distant helicopters and vehicles moving on the ground. I was happy to hear those sounds again. At this time I had met colonel Jack and officer Austin. They were pricks hours ago, but they are taking care of Samantha and letting me stay here with Myea. If it wasn’t for my determination, they would have shot her on sight.

Dear readers, we had stayed in Salem for two weeks, never seeing one zombie. Well, until we reached the hospital. When we had reached the hospital on the second week, there wasn’t very many of them. I took care of them with the 45, what a surprise I had inside the hospital. Dear readers I must inform you that beside the hospital was, in fact, a jail. When we had entered a simple question was asked.

I answered the man, he gave us supplies, let us sleep the night, and gave us medical treatment.

Myea had requested for me to take her to Boston, I wanted to ask why, but I didn’t. This is when everything went wrong. Dear reader I am not going to go in more depth than I already have. I do warn you readers, that during my investigation on how it spreads. It has become both air born and water born agents. All it takes is one dead body to contaminate everything.

Readers, do you remember the prison I stated earlier? It is occupied with these beast locked up. If you feel like target practice just go to the hospital and they will let you. Please look for “Dr. Nolan” printed on a name tag and a girl in the same cell as him, I want you to shoot, I can’t bare thinking that I will kill someone when I become one. If you need a place to go, go to the hospital or the military base in Boston. Dear reader, I want you to ill me. I sure hope someone hears or reads this. Someone has to know about Myea and I. Someone has to know what I know. Dear readers I hope you are survivors. Good luck and with this I will let officer Austin inform you of what is to happen after I had given him this paper,

Officer Austin

 

 

Dear readers I must inform you I did not know of his plot until he locked me out and I read this document. He laid down beside Myea as she died, she had reanimated and feasted upon Dr. Nolan. In moments he reanimated. I called the other officers and we opened the door and restrained them. Like Dr. Nolan has stated, they will be in the prison near Salem’s hospital.

Readers I ask you to do what he request. This document will be printed and sent to three close by states, this will also will be distributed in Massachusetts, in which we are residing. I wish you will remember him.
