Fandom The Walking Dead: Roads

[Ch0sen1]

View attachment 54221 "Roads. Endless and vast opportunities to explore new opportunities. New terrain. Both figuratively and literally, they take you to places that you've never thought to venture. They're so subjective, but yet so uniform in one cause: journey. Fate. Destiny. For me....? Ehh, right now I'm just trying to get the hell out of this chaos..."


The Walking Dead: Roads begins the first outbreaks of the zombie apocalypse in the American mecca of New York City. Life as you know it will all collapse upon you as everything you know, everything you love, and everything you stand for will vanish in a chaotic and ominous turn that will test your very essence of life against history's greatest crucible: Survival. Will you stay true to all that you were raised to believe in and be? Or will you become something else...


ANYTHING GOES in this open, heart wrenching, expansive world of surviving another day to fight for every inch of life you can. This is not about just surviving against the zombie apocalypse anymore, now the fight for the world as you know it to be begins. Just a typical eccentric, upbeat, urban day in the Big Apple as crowds of people sprawl the streets, until in one moment of an instant the transition from society and civilization as we know it starts into a path of death and blood. The lost souls of millions converted into sinister dreaded creatures that slowly roam the earth now. Walkers. Zombies. Demons. The road to survival begins now.


First and foremost, if you are not prepared for intense and severe scenes of blood, gore, violence, and suggestive themes this rp is not for you. Open minds and maturity are required. Next, remember the universe you're in. You have to be willing to accept loss, death, and sacrifice at any turn. Stay true not only to your character, but to the world the character exists in. No spamming and modding outside the realms of reasonability. Finally, keep your wits about you. Things can turn in an instant, so stay on your toes.

((Here we go!! ))


Endless cries fill the vast urban mecca of New York City. Screeches of sheer terror intertwined with a tone of cataclysm and despair. So much pain, so much agony, so much blood. Splatters of red cover the streets and the surfaces of the stone and metallic structures that compliments the Big Apple with an aura of destruction. Tens of thousands of pedestrians run unruly amongst the unpredictable calamity that has came before them. Wails of fear and panic spread across for miles upon miles. Entrails infest the roads along with lifeless corpses that smother every inch of pavement that can be seen. Crowds clashing with other crowds in violence with a motive of security. Of survival. Masses of people being ran over and ran down in the streets, in and out of buildings, everywhere. Limitless sounds of the shattering of glass, impacts of metal, roars of peril resonate through the vast metropolitan masterpiece. Bodies drop from altitudes that provide certain death, one after another, raining down flesh and bones as the sound of their anatomy exploding against the hard ground causes a amplification of shock. Bursts of shots and angry rants travel the airways to anyone who was focused enough to listen to them. Limping bodies slowly roam the streets out of the horde of humans. Of the wave of corpses littering the roads, alleys, and avenues, a few write in pain, slowly moving in a drive for life...some with blood leaked faces and limb torn stumbles. It's like they're longing for something....those pale, fragile voices of theirs reach out in need for something. They move not budged by the essence of death before them, but rather embraced into it. These frenzied individuals tackle people where they stand, attacking them in a frenzy that only feeds the fuel of the oblivion before this city. This hell. Dozens of helicopters overhead hover over the destruction, and all the brilliant lights and billboards of the mecca all are diverted to breaking news broadcasts. Screeching of tires and crashing of car vehicles into all marks of land join in the fray of a seemingly unending nightmare. Everything's happening so fast, yet time is immobilized. People breaking down doors to infiltrate buildings and shelter, for whatever reasons. In the midst of all this oblivion lies one being that remains unmoved. She looks on with a face of shock and awe, but also one of will and drive. Blood spots cover portions of her face, and her clothes are dyed a permanent crimson that wreaks of death and decay. Everything is slow for her. Looking into the sea of danger, her honey eyes lock in on one thing in particular....and then it hit her. That's when she knew. And then.......

Me: "Yes sir, just means I gotta work that much harder." *starts filling out papers*


Coach McDonough: "You work hard, Destiny. Probably the most out of everyone. You're a good leader, so lead by example. Spread that drive and heart into your teammates, and we'll do fine. What summer classes are you taking?"


Me: "I have Computer Vulnerability Testing, Psychology, and some volunteer work with my mom at Weill Cornell...dad wanted me to take Psych and get some good credits on my resume with community service."


Coach McDonough: "That computer stuff you can have, never could get into it. How is your dad up there at West Point?" * staring down, writing*

Me: "Yeah but NYU is Division I now in Track...I'd rather set the records here and be known for making it reputable."


Scar: "that also means recruits are getting stronger in prestige...some of us might be cut, not everyone is a Destiny Frye."


Me: "Scarlet, stop. Don't say it like that I'm not all high and mighty nor am I better than anyone...we're a team I couldn't do it without any of you."


Scar: "Uhhh....YES, you could. This isn't basketball, track has individual events."

[BloodThunder27]

Present: On a Hillside, I overlook what used to be my home. It was in ruins. All I had were Knuckle Gloves, a couple of loaded Guns, a little food and water, supplies and a Modified Dodge Charger. As I look at my Father's Combat Knife, I thought about what happened seven hours earlier...


Seven Hours earlier: It started as a normal day just like any other. I took a shower and grabbed a quick cup of coffee before leaving to go to work. As I pulled into the Parking Lot and entered my shop, I couldn't be happier. I was just an Auto Mechanic who loved what I did for a living. Been fixing cars since I was thirteen. Today, I was adding some final touches to a Toyota Supra that I have been fixing since Monday. As I fixed the car, I thought about my Family, all of whom were living in Los Angeles. Yeah, that's right. I'm all the way out in New York by myself. I smiled and got started on the Supra.

Me: "Kay." *follows mom*


~The entire Bioscience staff greets me as I walk by~


[Hello....Hey Destiny!.....How are you?....Hey there Destiny! Getting taller!]


Scar: "Geez, everyone knows you here!?"


Me: "Just the people mum works with. I used to visit every Sunday when we first moved here. I basically get access to all the labs and such, pretty darn cool, kinda a big deal" *winks at Scar*


~We enter the Office quarters~


Hope: *scans keycard* "Okay go ahead in there and fill it out it's on my desk, I have to go oversee this lab report I'll be back in about 15." *leaves*


Me: "Kay." *takes pen and volunteer application* "I hope I won't have to like, do grunt work. I wanna carry like volatile viruses or something haha."


Scar: "Haha! Alright! Now when you become a zombie don't say anything!!" *sits in chair beside me*


Me: "...or a superheroine." *filling out application*


Scar: "What would your power be?"


Me: "Hmm...I would have....Telekinesis."


Scar: "Ugh!!! That's so common Destiny!! Boooooooo!" *gives thumbs down*


Me: "Okay, well then what would YOU have?" *looks at Scar*


Scar: "I'm a redhead, straight up Fire manipulation." *does hand gestures*


Me: "Emm, I'd stop you!" *fills out application* "You wouldn't stand a chance..."


Scar: "Oh REALLY? So who'd be the villain?"


Me: *looks at Scar* "Definitely you."


Scar: "Definitely me." *says it the same time as I do*


[Phone vibrates]


Me: *checks phone*


Text msg -> From: Joan - 'Hey have you seen the news about that guy who started eating into this woman's neck over in Union City!? They're flying her over to New York Pres!!' *jaw drops, reply* -> 'Are you serious!? I'm here now!! Dannnnnng'


Scar: *into her phone*


Me: "Scar, Joan just said that some crazy guy bit off this woman's neck and she's being flown here!"


Scar: "Wait what!? Forrealzies!?"


Me: "Heck yeah!" *rushes filling out paper*


Scar: "Oh that's crazy...." *goes on google and searches Union City man bites woman* "....Oh shit, breaking news 11 minutes ago"


Me: "See...Jersey folks are crazy!"


Scar: "Hey! Don't put that on us!! Dude was probably from like, MISSOURI or something!"

Scar: "Cool with me."


Me: *finishes up paper* "Felon? No....Crimes? No...."


Scar: "You haven't had so much as a parking ticket...daddy's little girl!"


Me: "I am not! Just because I obey the law doesn't mean I'm a nun haha."


Scar: "You are a saint, remember freshman year? We were all out partying and where where you? In your dorm....studying, and doing ....homework...eck." *makes gagging gesture*


Me: "Oh shutup! I chose to be studious and NOT have bad grades my first semester in...I eventually joined you guys did I not?"


Scar: "Yeah you sure did....and boy did you party...you sly devil you..." *nudges me*


Me: *laughs* "Aha! chill it flamebrain!"


Scar: "Remember when we acted like we went out to ward off those grenades that tried to get at us? Hahah!"

Me: "Mum, did you hear about the lady who got her neck halfway bit off by some crazy man?? They're flying her here as we speak."


Hope: "Oh God...when did this happen??"


Me: "Like 20 minutes ago. Crazy."


Hope: *shakes head* "Goes to show you, people are crazy. Do you want something to eat while you're here?"


Me: "Doesn't matter, we were going to go to McDonalds..."


Hope: "Well just get something here so you won't have to walk over there.."


Me: "It's fine we can go to Mc--"


Scar: *Interrupts* "We'll eat here Mrs. Frye. You know she can be stubborn." *points to me*

Scar: *laughs*


Hope: "We have chicken tenders or shrimp....sides are Mac & cheese, french fries, and pasta."


Scar: "May I have chicken tenders with Macaroni and fries please?"


Me: *reluctantly* "Uh Shrimp with pasta and Macaroni...and a water."


Scar: "Water for me too please."


Hope: "Ok, well come on I'll take you guys down to the food court so you can get whatever." *gestures out the door*


Scar: "Thanks Mrs. Frye." *walks out of office*


Hope: "You're welcome sweeite!"


Me: *walks out*


~Walks to the elevator with Mum and Scar~

 

[BloodThunder27]

As I continued to fix the Supra, something else grabbed my attention. The radio began blurting out all kinds of information. A woman was being flown here from Union City after a crazed man attempted to eat into her neck. However, I just ignored it and went on to continue my work. However, as I continued to listen to the radio, I began feeling uneasy...

 

[Ch0sen1]

~Weill Cornell/New York Presbyterian food court~


Hope: "Here" *hands to go plates to me and Scar* "What are yall about to do now?"


Me: "About to head back to NYU, eat, then we're going to hang out somewhere tonight..."


Hope: "Where to?"


Me: "Maybe a jazz lounge? Idk" *shrugs*


Hope: "Well don't stay out too late, you know how your dad gets..."


Me: *sigh* "Mom I'm an hour away from dad, I'm 19. I'll be fine."


Hope: "Tell that to your father..."


Me: "He looks at Norty like he's a frekin' Heisman trophy winner and me he just.--"


Scar: *Interrupts, taps me on the arm* "Des look! The tv!!!"


~All people in the food court seemed to have stopped their actions and slowly focus their attention to the television~


TV newscaster: "Yes....um it seems to have been downed right on Joe DiMaggio Highway right where the Hudson river greenway meets 12th avenue..reports say that the helicopter was on its way to New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical where the patient, Ms. Victoria Ramone was being airlifted to treat a severe attack she had received just about 45 minutes ago from her husband, Jose Ramone age 34. Ramone had reportedly bit Victoria in the neck causing heavy bleeding and tissue damage...uh it's real disturbing to even fathom but now that helicopter has indeed crashed onto Highway 9A just meters down the street from the Sanitation Department...."*continues*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crashNY.jpg.99419ac3fffda7cc4c039ed5fc90a7a1.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="19866" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crashNY.jpg.99419ac3fffda7cc4c039ed5fc90a7a1.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: "Oh my God" *jaw drops* "How did it crash!?"


Scar: *mouth wide open* "No idea....that's terrible!"


Hope: "Oh my goodness!!"


[Food court begins to mutter and converse, gasps can be heard]


Me: "Mom you HAVE to call me and fill me in on the full details when you get off tonight..."


Hope: *says nothing, looks on*


Me: "Seriously."


Scar: *shakes head slowly, mouth still open*


TV Newscaster: *continuing* ".......right, and we have EMS, Firetrucks, and the Police sprawling all over the area that section of Highway 9A has in fact been closed off in order to preserve life and contain the crash they ARE looking for survivors of the crash we can only hope and pray for the best. We have helicopters overhead monitoring the incident, the NTSB probably will be here soon, and it's...this is just tragic a woman being rushed to NY Presbyterian and the noble staff that was working to keep her alive have all went down and we don't know if they're okay or not."


TV anchorman: "So do they at least know how many people were in the heli Tom?"


Tom TV Newscaster: "No it has not been confirmed yet Jeff but speculation can place them at about 7 for an educated guess including Victoria Ramone. Again, we will not know until law enforcement and EMS gives us a number and confirms it."


Me: *My vision is blocked by Mom*


Hope: "Fry, go ahead and enjoy your day I'll tell you about it later you don't need to see this."


Me: ..."Mum I see stuff like this all the time, it's life."


Hope: "Yeah well I don't want you looking at it anyway that's so tragic. Go on, call me when you get to your dorm, and tell me where you go tonight."


Me: "...Mooooooom..."


Hope: "I don't want to hear that just say yes. Don't make me tell your father."


Me: "Since when did YOU get so stern gahh..." *To Mum*


Hope: "Oh, shush. Call me later tonight you hear me??"


Me: "Yes. Okay." *turns to leave the food court.*


Scar: *follows me, still looking at TV*


Scar: "That is ridiculous..." *To me*


Me: "I know right, but then she's acting like I'm not grown...like I can't handle anything."


Scar: "She's your mom Destiny it's her job to care that way. Probably freaked her out a little bit."


Me: "Yeah, maybe." *leaves out of hospital* *checks phone*


[sounds of NY traffic and pedestrians fill the air]


~3:26PM, 2 new messages, Scarlet Becker tagged you in a post.~


Me: *checks messages*


->From: Joan - 'The helicopter with that woman went down!!! it's on the news!' - 3:17PM


->From: Mauricio - 'Hi Destiny! If you're still interested in the modeling gig please contact me asap at 646-822-4973' - 3:02PM


Me: *replies Joan* -> 'I knowwwww!!! I was watching! That mess is CRAZY. We're on our way back to campus now.'


Scar: *goes to the curb to look for a taxi*


Me: *sends text* -> To: Norty, Brenda, Twitter - 'Soooo yeah....a woman got her neck chewed off in NJ and was being rushed to the hospital where Mom works...and the heli crashed :| '


Scar: "TAXI!" *waves hand to Taxi*


~Taxi turns around and pulls up to the curb~


Scar: "Come on Des" *gets in Taxi* "Hi, Hunter College Station please..."


Me: *gets in Taxi*


[sWWWWWOOOOOOOOMP!]


Me: "!!! The heck was that!?" *looks overhead to see two NY Presbyterian choppers fly overhead*


Scar: *looks out of window at choppers* "Must be going to the crash site.."


Me: "Hope they're all okay."


Scar: "Me too"


~Taxi drives to Hunter College Station~


[Phone vibrates]


Me: *opens phone messages*


-> From: Joan - 'Okay, I'm going to start getting ready around 6ish'


-> From: Brenda - 'Hey bestie, and really? 0_0 oh no that's terrible!'


Scar: "Hey, what are you wearing tonight?"


Me: "Probably a dress and heels...classy life."


Scar: "Yeah I was thinking the same...Oh!" *reaches in purse and pulls out $10* "Here you go sir, keep the change" *Hands driver $10*


Driver: "Thank you"


Me: "Shoot! I forgot to charge my phone at the hospital..." *looks at battery status*


~Battery: 46%~


Scar: "Just charge it when we get to the room."


Me: "Yeah, I have to now."


Driver: "Hunter Station." *pulls up*


Scar: "Thanks." *gets out*


Me: "Thank you." *gets out*


[hordes of pedestrians exit the train with loud chatters of conversation]


~Scar and I get on the train to see all seats full~


Scar: *scoffs* "Great..."


Me: "Oh well" *grabs pole*


Conductor: "Hunter station train #6 leaving for Lexington Ave next stop time now is 3:33 PM we will be departing in 2 minutes."

 

[BloodThunder27]

After listening to the news, I got worried. Whatever was going on was serious. I figured that the phone lines are most likely overwhelmed, so I closed early and headed straight home in my Charger. I headed home fast and furious style, wanting to beat the traffic.

 

[Ch0sen1]

~Train #6 takes off as we wait for Prince St. Station~


Scar: "I'm on Twitter following the feed about Victoria Ramone..." *looks at phone*


Me: "Oooh, I'm about to try to access tv to see what's happening.." *Opens parsing app on phone*


Scar: "From your phone...? Oh, right. Ms. Tech Genius over here."


Me: "What? You want the apple you gotta be willing to climb the tree..." *uses computer code to access streaming live feed, sends a copy stream to mobile video player*


Scar: *looks over at my phone in bewilderment* "Uhh...?"


Me: "Annnnd eureka!!" *news feed pops up on phone*


Scar: "...you are like the world's greatest mind Destiny....that was fucking EPIC." *scoots beside me*


Me: *takes out headphones, gives one to Scarlet* "Let's see what it's talking about....after it buffers..."


Scar: *Puts headphone in ear*


Me: *puts other headphone in*


~The video feed patches through to my phone~


Tom (newscaster): "....maybe about five or six PM, but as of now traffic is backed up because of the crash Fire Dept. has gotten the flames extinguished and under control EMS is treating injuries of the car passengers that were affected by the helicopter crash. So far there are four motor vehicles reported involved in the incident along with the helicopter. Of those four vehicles, 10 passengers were in those vehicles and 1 is perfectly okay 2 have minor injuries and 1 suffered a concussion and 2 are in serious condition, and we will also note that 2 are dead in this incident. Now this IS excluding the passengers in the chopper EMS and NYPD are trying to evaluate the passengers now uh still a number has not been given to us."


Jeff (Anchor): "My God...that is truly horrible. Well viewers if you're just joining us what began as a woman being rushed to NY Presbyterian hospital in critical condition has turned into a more horrifying and gruesome tragedy as the chopper that was transporting her went down onto Highway 9A right over 12th avenue and now we have 2 fatalities so far and 5 injuries. As far as the passengers of the chopper nothing has been confirmed yet we're waiting on that report--"


Anchor: *interrupts* "Hold on Jeff we're getting live footage from our news team in the air it seems that two choppers from Presbyterian have landed on the scene for more potential injuries.." *continues*


~Live feed shows perspective from news air chopper . Camera hovers over John DiMaggio Highway where small smoke trails into the air and a broken trail of debris can be seen. Totaled vehicles and a fregmented chopper dress the pavement. Fire Dept. , EMS, and NYPD lights flare across the highway for about a mile, as all members attribute to clearing the wreckage and tending to the victims.~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crash1.jpg.bcd65603d8a040d223a195cf60e21ff3.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="19889" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crash1.jpg.bcd65603d8a040d223a195cf60e21ff3.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Female Anchor: "It seems that no one has survived the helicopter crash but our hopes are still optimistic obviously the best case we want EVERYONE to be okay and get treated no matter how bad the injuries, but as of yet no one has a count on chopper survivors right Tom?"


Tom(Newscaster): "That's right Carol we've yet to receive a report on it and me myself I can only get so close I'm about 100 yards away from the actual crash site and from what I can see EMS is treating the road vehicle victims no one has seen any sign of any chopper survivors yet."


Carol(Anchor): "Well we will certainly keep our prayers and hopes up....um *pauses* ....what?...this is confirmed? Well we have breaking news once more to add on to this horrifying story it seems that Victoria Ramone, the victim who was bit by her husband Jose Ramone in the neck around an hour ago, her husband Jose attacked and bit another person, a paramedic just outside of a hospital in New Jersey, and now Police has shot and killed him in defense for themselves and for surrounding lives.


Jeff(Anchor): "My goodness" *shakes head* "What seems to be already a nightmare just keeps adding more and more terror. We can only hope for the best for Victoria and the other crew that were in the chopper... *background voices* ...okay do we have that now? Okay, so we're going to the ground with Tom as the new chopper flies overhead with the feed. Tom I hear they're pulling out the victims from the chopper."


~Phone shows split screen of Tom and the accident behind him, along with the overhead chopper feed~


Tom(Newscaster): "Yeah what you see behind me and on the live overhead feed is EMS and the Fire Dept. working to finish unhinging the chopper openings and pulling out the victims. So far I can see about three bodies pulled out of the debris and they don't seem to be moving. I cannot identify if one is Victoria or not and who's a crew member.... "*continues*


Scar: *looks on, glued into the screen* "This is fucking ridiculous...like crazy crazy.."


Me: "I know right..." *eyes stuck on screen*


Tom(Newscaster) *continuing* "....will say that there are casualties but no one is saying that there's not I speculate they're just trying to wrap their head around the situation first before any official report goes out." *shouts in the background* "Oh it seems we have some commotion behind me...I think one of the victims from the chopper is moving!!!"


~Overhead feed shows EMS converging in on one body as if to help stablize it~


Tom(Newscaster): "Yeah something is definitely going on" *approaches crash scene* "uhh I believe one of them is in fact alive and moving but perhaps he or she is in shock or suffering from some type of seizure because now many paramedics are coverging on the person um..."*voice gets louder* "Yeah! Something is happening!" *paramedics starts yelling, shouting for police* "Now they're yelling for police! We're trying to get close enough without being in the way but it seems the victim is panicking over what may have happened or experiencing trauma! "


~Overhead feed shows a crowd of paramedics and NYPD surrounding someone in what seems to be a panic. The camera zooms in on the crowd of officers to see that NYPD pull a paramedic away who's holding his right shoulder, and the rest of the crowd holding down a paramedic in a neon yellow vest detaining him as he moves rapidly. The paramedic holding his shoulder lays down while being treated. Camera zooms out.~


Jeff(Anchor): "Our new feed has to now zoom out for the integrity of our viewers but what it seems like now is that a paramedic in the chopper has indeed survived but maybe out of shock has inadvertantly attacked one of the other paramedics here on the ground...police and EMS and now joined by firemen are trying to calm and sustain the victim. And as you can see a paramedic that has been hurt in the shoulder there is off being treated by more paramedics to the side."


Tom(Newscaster): "Yeah it's getting absolutely hectic down here police have told us to stay back from what I've seen a surviving paramedic did in fact panic and attack a fellow paramedic trying to tend to his injuries, the attacking paramedic is now detained and held in the back of that ambulance right there" *points* "I think he may have scratched or maybe bruised the helping paramedic's shoulder...."*looks in the distance* "and now we can see even more EMS and police coming in I see choppers from Roosevelt Hospital, NYPD, and other news stations coming into the crash site airspace haven't see anything like it in a very very long time!"


Carol(Anchor) "Tom....Tom we're going to have to cut you off momentarily we have more now on the other side of this news story following Victoria Ramone's husband Jose Ramone who was shot and killed after attacking yet another victim it seems that the paramedic that he attacked, a 28 year old David Lance has now been admitted to Palisades Medical Center where he went on record to say that Jose did in fact bite him as well, and now judging by the wound and symptoms, may be a case of rabies that Jose has spread to himself, meaning that potentially Victoria could have them."


Me: "Jesus Christ!"


Scar: "No way..." *mouth wide open*


~People on the train begin to look at us in curiosity~


Scar: "Freaking RABIES?? Are you serious?"


Me: *connects dots* "Sooo...if Jose spread it through bite that mean Victoria has it, and maybe somehow she acted out and that was the cause for the heli crash..?"


Scar: "Absolutely a possibility. My goodness. Call your mom."


Me: *nods, exits out of the video feed and pulls up Biosciences department. Presses CALL*


[phone rings]


Hope: Biomedical this is Hope.


Me: "Mum turn on the news. The helicopter that crashed they think Victoria's husband gave her rabies police shot and killed him in Jersey after he bit a paramedic, the paramedic is at the hospital right now, and a survivor from the helicopter crash just attacked a paramedic here...."


Hope: Oh my word!!! Are you serious right now??


Me: "YES MUM."


**people begin to look at me**


Hope: Well if it's Rabies then it's going to be some protocols here for sure....what channel?


Me: "I used CBS New York...." *looking at Scar*


Hope: Okay, well I'll have to turn it on when I can I'm still overseeing some tests right now.


Me: "Okay, Mum please be careful. Rabies is no joke."


Hope: You're talking to a Master's biochemist babe I'll be okay, where are you now?


Me: "On the train back to campus"


Hope: Okay text me when you get there.


Me: "Okay, if they fly in people from that incident be on the lookout okay?


Hope: Yes, I hear you. Relax, go home, and enjoy your day leave this to us. Love you.


Me: "Love you too mum, bye" *hangs up*


Scar: "What'd she say!?" *anxious*


Me: "She said she'll be on the lookout, and to just relax.."


Scar: "Good advice, but it's just so terrible though." *sigh*


**most of people are looking at Scar and I**


Me: "People looking at us like we're crazy."


Scar: "So what, we're informed. They're curious. Don't stress it."


Me: "I wasn't." *takes out phone, sends a text to dad* -> 'Hey, mum might be working late tonight because of a big incident between NJ/NY. Some woman got bit by her husband and he attacked a paramedic in NJ and was shot and killed, the paramedic thinks it's rabies. The woman was being flow to NY Presbyterian but it crashed into highway 9A. EMS, police, Fire dept everywhere. Don't worry we're all ok it's only in the area up


on 12th avenue.'


Conductor: "Prince St. Station coming up next stop....repeat, Prince St. Station coming up next stop."

 

[BloodThunder27]

I hurried home as I listened to the news via Radio. As I got into my Driveway, I opened my Garage and decided that it was probably best that I leave the city before things get ugly. I packed Family Photos, Weapons, Supplies, Food & Water, Blankets and a First Aid Kit. Soon, I barricaded up the house, put all the things I couldn't take with me into my Basement and boarded up the door there like a safe. I knew I'd come back once I have a bigger vehicle. After barricading all the windows and secured the doors with hefty padlocks, I gave my old home one last look before leaving with my Dodge Charger. While doing so, I put on my Balistics Vests, Elbow Pads, Knee Pads and Knuckle Gloves. As I armed myself, I looked for a fast way out of town...Sadly it wasn't long until I found myself at the mass pile-up. I put on some Wrist Guards before exiting my vehicle. I climbed on top of my car with some binoculars and tried to see what the cause was.

 

[LadyMatsudai]

It was a complete nightmare. Everything was falling apart before Alexandra's eyes, the tourist of NYC was watching people trample over each other, run past her in complete fear and people falling from the sky. Alexandra had never seen anything like it before... She grunted to a sudden shove into her shoulder, pushing her against a car that had spun out and landed beside the sidewalk of her hotel, wincing a little as she looked around. Everyone was running...everyone. Shoving, kicking, screaming and sobbing over the trampled, killed, and little remains of loved ones. But one little thing caught her eye. A kid, no more than four, standing among the crowds and wailed at the top of his little lungs, his face red as he looked all around him for someone, crying out for his mother. Without even thinking, Alexandra dashed to the small boy and picked him up, shushing him as she looked around quickly as well, bouncing him as she patted his back.


"It's ok, big guy. It's ok. It's ok," she repeated over and over, more to herself than to him, her own heart racing and beating profusely to the point she could feel it in her throat. But that thought quickly disappeared to the sound of a loud truck's horn, Alex's brown eyes darting to the direction of the noise to feel her eyes widen at the site of a large garbage truck driving out of control, weaving side to side as people struggled to get out of the way. The truck finally swerved too far and started to fall on its side, skidding right for Alex and the little boy. Dashing to her left, Alexandra grunted to the close call of watching the truck skid past them and sighed, leaning against a lamp post before feeling the boy squirm.


"Mommy! Daddy!" he cried, two parents holding onto each other gasping in disbelief and sobbed happily, racing towards the two of them as Alex gave the mother her son. After a quick quiet thank you from the dad, the three started to dash off into the mobs, leaving Alex behind as her eyes seemed to just stare at the family, time starting to slow down as her mind dashed back to before all of this chaos happened...


~~~THREE DAYS EARLIER~~~


The train to the subway stopping at Times Square finally came to a halt, Alexandra standing up with her bags over her shoulders and in her hands, enough clothes to have her set for about two weeks. This little trip from her flight from Boston was just for her, a vacation to get herself away from all of the crap of trying to find a job, looking for apartments and roommates, and so on. Fortunately, her family was able to pay for some of the expenses, leaving Alex with some money to spend how she pleased. Probably seeing the historic sites, traveling between each borough and so on. Climbing up the stairs from underground, her hotel was fortunately right beside the subway entrance, welcoming Alex with a doorman greeting her and holding the door open. Sighing to walking right to the front desk, Alex smiled at the attendant and nodded her head.


"Good morning, ma'am. Welcome to the Four Seasons. Your name?"


"Alexandra van Amstel, please," spoke Alex before grabbing her hotel information from her small duffle bag and handed it to the clerk.


Suddenly, a buzzing sound went off in her pant pocket, making Alex fiddle for her phone to pull it out and frown at the name that came up: 'Mom'. Sighing to herself, Alex hit the button on her smartphone to send the call right to voicemail, setting it down on the counter as she answered a couple more questions for the clerk, signing off her name on the documents before grabbing her room key. Getting her bags again and starting to walk towards the elevator, Alex groaned a little to the phone buzzing again, opening it and placing it to her ear.


"Hello?" she sighed, a little upset with having to deal with her mom on the phone.


"You sound so happy to talk to me, Alex," chuckled a deep man's voice, thick with an accent that made Alex light up.


"Youn-sah boo nim!" she smiled happily on the phone as she heard another deep chuckle.


"How are you, Alexandra? Did you finally reach New York City?" chimed Master Youn.


"Yes, sir, I did. I am actually making my way to the hotel room now as we speak. It's wonderful here," chimed Alex, looking out of the windows of the elevator to look down to Times Square growing smaller and smaller as she moved higher up the building, all of the people walking looking like ants.


"You deserved it, Alexandra. Listen, I have to attend a meeting in Providence for the next few days but I will have my phone with me the entire time if you need to talk. I am just a drive away."


"I will, sir. Thank you," she answered softly, walking towards the hotel room after the elevator doors opened, grunting as she reached for her room key.


"Alexandra," called out taekwondo Master Youn, making Alex stop a little to readjust the phone at her ear.


"Yes sir?" asked Alex.


"쥐구멍에도 볕들 날 있다 (Even into a mouse hole, the light shines). Take this time for you and enjoy it. Something good will come out of it," cooed the master, leaving Alex a little speechless, tearing up a little as she smiled and nodded.


"I will, sir. Don't worry," she promised as she heard a grunt of approval from the aging master on the other end of the phone.


"안녕히 계세요, 공주 (Goodbye, princess)," saluted Master Youn as Alex smiled and nodded.


"안녕히 가세요, sah boo nim (Goodbye, master)," saluted Alex before she hung up the phone, making her way into the room as the door closed behind her.


~~~PRESENT~~~


Alex kept watching the family of three running off into the distance, panting a little to feeling herself falling back to Earth before looking around quickly. Without even thinking, Alex started to run with her small tote bag around her shoulders, bouncing on her side as she tried to look around to help out anyone else that was in the midst of this sea of madness. Quickly dodging a few other people pushing through the masses without a care of who got in their way, Alexandra glanced up to see a young woman with long brown hair staring straight ahead, not moving an inch like she was in a trance. Forcing herself through the crowds as the current of people pushed the other way, Alex finally reached the young woman and took a hold of her wrist.


"Hey! Hey! Come on, hun, we have to go," she tried to encourage the young woman, turning her by the shoulders to have her face her.

 

[BloodThunder27]

As I tried to discern what the cause was, I heard some more information from the radio in my car. It seemed like a new breed of virus had been discovered. This new virus turned its victims into a cannibalistic maniac. When I remembered about what I heard on the news earlier today, I quickly jumped back into my car, turned around and looked for a way out of the city center...


Present Day: I continued to look at my Father's Combat Knife. After a few minutes, I wondered if anyone was still alive. As I sheathed the knife, I checked my vest to make sure I had plenty of Magazines and Ammunition. Which I did. There were now two options that I had: go look for some place safe out in the countryside or go back into the city and see if I can find any survivors.

Me: *looking into the mass of terror before me, locked in on one specific thing that brings me absolute pain and horror*


Man: "HEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!" *shuffles through the crowd* "DESTINYYYYYY!!!! MOOOOVE NOW!!!"


Me: *Zones voice out*


~The explosion of a car against a mountain of scrap metal breaches my hearing~


Me: *flinches a bit, but remains staring into the chaos...*


Man: *sees two slow creeping, bloody pedestrians limp up behind me* "Shit! Destiny MOVE!!!" *raises SCAR assault rifle*


Me: *ignores all surrounding sounds, focuses on object*


-----------------------------------------------------TWO AND A HALF HOURS EARLIER--------------------------------------------------


~Getting off of the train at Prince St. Station, Scar and I make out way back to campus~


Me: "Well, I feel sorry for the poor people who's in that traffic" *shakes head, moving down steps*


Scar: "Huh! Who're you telling!? They're not even going to be able to MOVE until like 6ish."


Scar: *picks up vibrating phone and answers call* "Hello...?.....Oh hi Tommy! OMG I HAVE to tell you about this craaaaazy incident that's going down right now......heck yeah....okay, so it started like..."


[Phone vibrates] Me: *checks phone*


~1 new message, 4 others replied to your tweet!~


Me: *checks messages* -> From: Kanine - 'I seen your tweet about that woman, that's crazy have you seen her yet?' - 4:03PM


Me: *replies* => 'No I'm gone now they're still at the crash site. I'm walking back to Carlyle with Scar. I'm just gonna pack my clothes for tonight and come over and get ready there okay? Then after I hang with the girls, I'll spend the night if that's okay.'


Scar: *on the phone* "......Yeah, like shot him DEAD because he attacked a paramedic. They think he had rabies....." *laughs* "yes like rabies rabies...." *looks at me and shakes her head*


Me: *laughs, feels my phone vibrate in my pocket* "Uggh, who is this?" *takes phone out*


~Text message from: Kanine -> 'Heeeeeeck yeah that's okay, I got something for you anyways ' - 4:06PM~


Me: *scoffs and rolls eyes at message, replies* => 'Umhmmm lol'


Scar: *talking* "....yeah over on Highway 9A right over 12th avenue, the scene is crazy I kind of want to go over there..."


Me: *at Scar* "Uhh...bullcrap! That's like neverending traffic, and a chance at being turned into a blood crazed animal! haha!"


Scar: "Ha, yeah night of the living dead: the new york minute."


Me: "eww....terrible title" *laughs*


Scar: *gives me the bird* "Oh, Tommy says hi"


Me: "Tell him I said hello, and to work on his post play hahah..."


Scar: "....he totally heard you!" *laughs*


Me: "GOOD!" *chuckles*


[HOOOOOOOOOONNNNNKKK!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNK!!!!!!]


~Horns from Ambulances fill the air as they get louder and louder, EMS drives by at blazing speeds heading north. NYPD Lower Manhattan joins in right behind them.~


Me: *looks at emergency vehicles*


Scar: *looks at emergency vehicles and puts finger over ear to hear Tommy*


Me: "THINK THEY'RE GOING UP TO 9A??" *talking over sirens*


Scar: "PROBABLY." *nods*


Me: *sends a text to Mum* => 'Hey I'm almost back now, text me details when you can about what's going on there, oh I text dad too told him you could stay late. '


[phone vibrates repeatedly]


Me: *looks at phone to see a incoming call from Kanine* *presses ANSWER.*


Me: "Ello?"


Kanine: Hey, what's up?


Me: "Nothing just coming up to Carlyle, whatchu' doin' ?"


Kanine: Cleaning up a bit, so what time are you coming over here?


Me: "Umm I mean, I can pack my stuff in like 5 minutes when I get up to my dorm and then just come over after that. So like, 30 minutes? Or is that too soon?"


Kanine: Of course not, half an hour is fine. What time are you all going out?


Me: "Around like 6ish, we'll probably grab more food then head out after. And I should be back at your place arounnnnd.....like....1ish? Cool?"


Kanine: Okay, that's fine. So that means I got an hour and some change with you before you head out...


Me: "Yeah....? hahah"


Kanine: Ohhhh nothing....


Me: *shakes head* "Goodness. Contain yourself, madman."


Kanine: *chuckles*


Me: "Well I'm about to get ready, I'll text when I'm in Times Square okay?"


Kanine: Alright, fine by me. See you soon.


Me: "Later gater." *hangs up*


Scar: "Yeah, and you guys aren't going out? Umph."


Me: "Ahhh phooey. Shush it."

Me: "Why thank you." *enters in*


~In the dorm lobby, the television shows a CNN report on the Victoria Ramone incident. The TV shows Highway 9A and most of the debris being cleared out of the way, but a swarm of NYPD flooding the streets blocking all of the lanes surrounding the helicopter. NTSB vehicles arrive from the north and set up a perimeter about half a mile up.~


Scar: *presses elevator button*


[DING!]


CNN anchor: "....yes yes it seems that they did end up detaining them, uhh I believe severe shock to the system has hit all of these poor individuals it's really really a sad case what turns out to be a miracle in having 4 of the chopper passengers recovered, 2 of them have now attacked paramedics and NYPD officers, now the NYPD and all of the crew down there are giving them the benefit of the doubt because of the tragic incident they've just been through, but what exactly is causing these individuals to just up and attack?"


Ground reporter: "Now that we have no information of all of this is really strange indeed, um again this is the 2nd incident in which a person affiliated with Victoria Ramone has attacked an individual and remember Jose Ramone attacked two individuals; Victoria his wife, and a Jersey paramedic David Lance..." *continues*

[DING!] ~Elevator door opens~


Scar: "More chaos.." *shakes head* "I'll be ready when they get all that mess settled..." *steps into elevator*


Me: "You and me both holmes." *enters elevator*


~Elevator closes and rides up to my room floor~


Scar: "Something tells me your mom is going to be busy, NYPD probably is going to call her for an expert approach to the responses of shock to the body or something..."


Me: "More money for us..." *smirks*


~Elevator door opens to my floor~


[DING!]


Scar: *walks to room*


Me: *follows* "So hey what are you gonna do while I'm at Kanine's?"


Scar: "Nooo idea, probably shower and get ready, it's already 4:19 so by the time I shower and get fully ready 6 will be right around the corner..."


Me: "True. Will you call Joan? I'm sure your phone has more charge..." *looks at battery status*

Scar: "Might want ta take your team outfit...you're going to be doing some workouts tonight with Kanine if ya know what I mean." *winks*


Me: "Ugh, yeah right." *picks up NYU track suit and folds it up, places on bed*


Scar: "Oooooooh let's go to Breslin!! British cuisine tap into your roots! Ehh? Ehh? Plus I heard their food is to DIE FOR."


Me: "Yeah, Breslin IS good mum eats there all the time. The seafood is awesome." *putting dress into backpack, along with soap, washcloth, perfume, lotion, toothbrush and toothpaste, high heels, and necklaces*

~Lacey's car radio goes to commercial~


Radio: "95.5 coming in live with the hottest rock and pop hits all day everyday, uhh alot of things going down right now if you haven't heard of the incident of Victoria Ramone you need to either hit Google or turn on the news. Victoria was bit in the neck by her husband who was later shot and killed for biting ANOTHER victim a freaking paramedic!!! The chopper she was on crashed onto John DiMaggio over 12th ave and now it is just a massive CRAZY scene out there so anyone thinking on taking 9A, DON'T. EMS, PD, Fire Dept, NTSB, what have you all are out there right now man so please drive safe and watch the skies. Another crazy thing is we looked about 30 minutes ago a similar situation happened in Chicago where a homeless man was bit and attacked by a strange woman, and even down in Atlanta where police arrested a man for biting his co worker in the arm....listen I don't what's going on in today's world but please stop the violence and cannibalism! Don't do drugs the whole nine!" *background laughs* "haha I'm serious guys it's ridiculous! Time is now is 4:25PM we'll be back with more hits after these messages..."


Lacey: "Jesus....that's crazy" *grabs head, honks horn* "GOOOOOO!!!!"

 

[BloodThunder27]

I had plenty of Gas, supplies, ammunition and weaponry for a small group. Going solo in times like this was probably one of the worst possible ideas. I got aboard my car. I knew that running into a bunch of abandoned vehicles was inevitable, but I wasn't about ready to abandon my vehicle, as it was my pride and joy. It was probably best to team up with other survivors anyway. As I drove back into the city, I can only see scenes of carnage. Those not already infected were fighting a losing battle. In every direction, I saw people trying to either fight or flee from the rapidly growing number of infected. My only hope was that the city does not get nuked. As I drove around the ruined streets of what I used to call home, I saw a little girl wondering aimlessly in the middle of the road...in front of my car. I had four choices: I can get out of the car and see if she's okay, roll down my window out to her, wait for her to pass before driving through, or run her over. Because she didn't notice me and my car, let alone unable to catch my scent, I was able to see if she was infected or not.

 

[Yanipurr]

John Morgan was alone his squad who has was sent in with was dead and he was in the outskirts of new York with no ammo and only a pair of brass knuckles and a Humvee he was thinking 'humanitarian aid i was sent here for and this is what happened so they would need to send the aid it seem cannibals or something eating everyone i guess i better see how the middle of the city is doing ' John said as he turned around to the Humvee he had stolen John started the engine and tried to listen to the radio to see what was happening but the radio was busted in the Humvee so he had no idea what was going on even his own portable radio was not working he somehow avoiding the chaos on the roads made his way into the city when their he noticed it was even worst but on the lighter side they was still some normal people as he just saw someone who looked like they was driving a dodge charger but he had stopped he seemed to be waiting for someone to pass or notice him John decided too drive up to him to see if he was dead or alive he drove up and stopped his car a bit behind the dodge charger.

 

[BloodThunder27]

I decided to drive pass the little girl. She was surely infected, seeing the way she was walking aimlessly in the middle of the road. Trying to run her over wasn't worth the damage to my ride anyway. As I drove down the block, I began to notice that a Humvee had been following me. Though I was happy to see that there was another survivor, I did not like the fact that I was being followed. Since it seemed a bit safe at the moment, I decided to pull over. However, the man in the Humvee might have been armed, so I armed myself as well. I checked my Beretta 92/FS to make sure it was fully loaded. As I holstered it in my vest, I opened my door and stepped out of my Car. I turned to the Humvee. I then waited for him to exit his vehicle

 

[Yanipurr]

After noticing that the man I was just following get out of his car I was about to do the same but noticed he was armed 'Dam what should i do they is a chance he will just shoot me o well probably a better way out that whatever else is happening out there' I thought to myself as I opened my door and stepped out of my Humvee unarmed and just in case i showed him my hands to prove that i was no threat and only wanting to talk "hello whole world seems to have gone to hell doesn't it" I said in a nervous and sarcastic voicing knowing he could shoot me at any moment.

 

[BloodThunder27]

I felt uneasy about the man. Although he was in Military Uniform, I was unsure on whether or not he would become one of the infected. "Don't worry, son, I'm not gonna shoot you. Well, at least until you become of those post-human cannibals. So, mind telling me why you were following me?" I asked him, folding my arms.

 

[Yanipurr]

"no real reason I just thought that sticking in groups would be smarter if you want me too I can just turn around get back in my car and drive away" I said in a calm and confident voice lowering my arms to my waist "also any idea whats going on I haven't had access to a radio and these post-human cannibals or whatever they are has me utterly confused" I quickly added taking my helmet off and dropping it on the ground as I thought 'no need for this anymore'

 

[BloodThunder27]

I thought for a moment. Although he was right, I still had my doubts. However, teaming up with other survivors was probably the best thing to do. "Got a name, kid?" I asked, willing to let him join me.

 

[Yanipurr]

"Names John Morgan what about you, you got a name?" I asked thinking 'seems he is thinking along the same line as me now' as I leaned back against my car bonnet.

Me: *walks out of elevator to see the Resident Assistants and a few other students focused into the TV*


NJ Anchor: "...about the attacks in question all that we have so far is that all residents are being evacuated from the south New Jersey area in wake of these vicious attacks, if you ask me I'd say that the attack from Union City resident Jose Ramone earlier today is what sparked this panic because now David Lance, the paramedic that was bit by Ramone was pronounced dead in the hospital but then moments later witnesses reported that Lance got BACK up, and attacked a nurse there in the hospital. Now SWAT is here, we don't know if anyone has contacted the CDC or any federal agencies but this is definitely something chaotic..."


Me: *gasps* "Oh God....." *slowly shakes head*


CNN Reporter: "Absolutely terrifying news I just can't believe it all day we've been hearing reports about the Ramones and now even more choas in this after math a New Jersey city is being quarantined for a suspected viral threat now believed to be rabies spread from Jose Ramone this is pretty serious we ask if you are in the Union City area please evacuate at once....and now going back to our feed over in New York where the chopper crash containing Victoria Ramone is we can see that NTSB, NYPD, and mainly EMS flood the scene all reporters have been asked to stay back as the chopper crash victims are showing the same symptoms. We can only suspect that a quarantine will be initiated for that as well...."

Me: *begins to walk to Radio City Apartments, calls Kanine*


Kanine: Hello


Me: "Hi I just got off of D I'll be there in about 2 minutes okay?"


Kanine: Okay baby I'll see you when you get here.


Me: "Okay, later." *hangs up*


[phone rings]


Me: *looks to see MUMMY is calling, answers* "Hey Mum..."


Hope: Hey, you call?


Me: "Yeah I heard it was busy there because of that incident."


Hope: Yeah it's gotten hectic I've been sending dosage and chemical treatments to the ICU...they said that whatever it is is driving them rabid so I want you to stay indoors tonight.


Me: "I am I sent you messages, we're not going out."


Hope: Okay well my phone is in my locker so I can't see them right now. Where are you? I hear alot of people...


Me: "I'm on my way to Kanine's place I'm going to stay there until this clears up."


Hope: Oh...be careful now Destiny.


Me: "I am mum, have you heard from dad or Norty?


Hope: No not yet I'll talk to Norton tonight after work. I'll sign your application tonight also and fax it tomorrow.


Me: "Okay, well I was just calling to see what was up."


Hope: Oh okay, well I'll call you after all this, or have your dad to.


Me: "Okay."


Hope: Talk to you later, bye.


Me: "Bye." *hangs up, comes up on 48th street. A line of NYPD units blockade 48th street and Americas avenue*


NYPD: "ATTENTION CITIZENS OF NEW YORK, A CITY CURFEW HAS BEEN WARRANTED. PLEASE DIVERT BACK TOWARDS TIME SQUARE. SEEK SHELTER IN ONE OF THE HOTELS/RESIDENCE COMPLEXES. ALL CITIZENS PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR HOMES. A CITY CURFEW HAS BEEN WARRENTED. PLEASE, DO NOT PANIC, REMAIN CALM AND KEEP MOVING."


~Stacks of traffic clog up Americas ave and 48th st. Cars moving feet at a time and an abundance of vehicle horns, swearing, and shouting rampage the streets.~

"Name's Devin Saverino. Everyone just calls me Dev." I extended my arm for a handshake. "I'm sure we'll get along just fine." I then gazed at the helmet on the ground. "I'd suggest keeping that helmet. But if you really don't need it. We can just keep it for someone else."

 

[Yanipurr]

I take the hand and shake it "It nice to meet you Dev but I think it would be nicer under better circumstance"I said "you really think we will need it I guess bringing it along wont do any harm" I added as i looked at the helmet I just dropped on the ground and picked it up.

 

[Ch0sen1]

Me: "The hell...?" *looking confused*


NYPD: "PLEASE DIVERT TO THE SOUTH, FIND SHELTER AND REMAIN INDOORS UNTIL THE CITY CLEARS THE CURFEW. NYPD WILL BE PATROLLING THE STREETS. TOURISTS FOLLOW IN SUIT WITH THE REST OF THE CITIZENS. THE CITY HAS WARRANTED A CURFEW."


~NYPD line the streets directing all cars and pedestrians to the south. Cars and swarms of people begin to back up for about half a mile from mu location~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/blockade.jpg.2b79e934bc0c7eeba25e6e573238ffb7.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20020" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/blockade.jpg.2b79e934bc0c7eeba25e6e573238ffb7.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: *walks down to the sidewalk, and shuffles against the current of the crowd with hardship. I approach one of the NYPD officers directing side traffic.* "Hey excuse me officer, where I'm going is literally right up the street it's Radio City Apartments, is there anyway I can get by..?"


NYPD Officer: "Sorry miss no one can go north past 48th street that's orders you have to divert south until otherwise notified."


Me: "We're talking about yards away here officer please that's where my shelter is..."


NYPD Officer: *shaking head* "Sorry you gotta keep moving miss, that'a'way" *points south* "Maybe you can hitch a ride with a friend to somewhere but anything north of 48th is off limits."


Me: "But why? The outbreak is up on 12th, and maybe in Koreatown why block off 48th?"


NYPD: "Can't answer anymore you gotta keep moving." *turns me around*


Me: "Ugh.." *begins walking south, pulls phone out, calls Kanine*


[phone rings]


Kanine: I'm coming down now...


Me: "No, babe they're saying I can't get past 48th. Some kind of blockade and city wide curfew/evacuation is going down.."


Kanine: What?? I mean I heard the sirens but I didn't know it was because of THAT.


Me: "What do I do? I'm going to go to Cosi and wait ok? Do you want to meet me there?"


Kanine: Yes, definitely babe I'll come get you. I'm leaving out the door right now. I can hear a lot of people in the background...


Me: "Heck yeah, it's everyone from Rockefeller Center, plus the trains, plus the pedestrians already out and walking...maybe like 600 of us out here. Maybe more."


Kanine: Damn, well head to Cosi I'll see you there.


Me: "Okay, later" *hangs up, walks with the crowd*


[NYPD sirens and the loudspeaker from the intersection controls the sound of the area all around me. My ears being to pop from the overhaul of noise around me]


Me: *digs in ear, looks up in a clear, blue sky. I spot a helicopter in the sky in the distance. It seems to be changing directions from north to east back and forth. It draws closer*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/fallcopter.jpg.1cc26a7d048c1cd91ea6aeef5e70f66d.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20021" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/fallcopter.jpg.1cc26a7d048c1cd91ea6aeef5e70f66d.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: *sends a text to Scar* => 'Duuuuude they are calling for a city curfew! They blocked 48th I can't even get to K's place! I'm going to Cosi to wait there. Stay in lol.'


[the slight sound of a chopper joins in with the NYC ruckus]


Me: *keeps walking, looking up at the chopper. It begins to rock back and forth* "Whoa whoa....what the heck!?..." *sees the white and red colors of the chopper, instantly connects the dots* "Ohhhh that's the Roosevelt chopper from Koreatown!"


~Slowly but surely the crowd begins to take heed of the unruly chopper wavering in the air. People begin to slow down and point upwards towards the helicopter~


Citizen1: *points* "Oh my God look at that..."


Citizen2: *looks up* "He'd better get that baby under control eh?"


~The helicopter begins to sway violently now, spinning out of control and descending towards my location...~


Citizen1: "It's going to crash!!!" *points up*


Woman: "Everyone MOVE!!"


[screams and shouts fill the streets in slight panic. The crowd disperses into the nearest building they can find. the sound of the chopper gets louder and louder.]


Me: "Oh shit!" *moves to clear off the street, but constantly runs into person after person amongst a vast crowd.*


~Helicopter begins spinning more and more violently and faster. It heads straight for the middle of 48th street....creepishly close to my location. The uniform crowd disperses and runs in many different directions~


[shouts and clash of voices continue]


NYPD: "STAY CALM! EVERYONE GET OFF OF THE STREET! STAY IN AN ORDERLY FASHION! FIND THE NEAREST SHELTER AND STICK TO THE FAR CORNERS!"


Me: *gets to the sidewalk under a roof cover, and looks out at the chopper*


Man: "Hey! Miss get out of the way!" *grabs my arm*


Me: *I get pulled over into an alleyway, I jerk my arm away* "I'm fine! Get off of me" *glares at man*


[sound of spinning helicopter gets pouder and louder, screams of pedestrians still scouring off the streets emerge.]


Me: "No......" *looks at falling chopper*


~Chopper spins one final time as it crashes into the side of a building high up near the roof. It crashes on my side of the street about a block away~


[CRAAAASSSSSSSHHHH!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!]


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crash4.jpg.f17f677eadc8a7ad54aebd5dcbcb7754.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20022" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crash4.jpg.f17f677eadc8a7ad54aebd5dcbcb7754.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


~The fiery debris falls downward to the street, where it lands on a couple of vehicles, causing them to catch on fire.~


[cries of females and scared children surround the area, interrupted by the loudspeaker of the NYPD]


NYPD: "EVERYONE GET OFF OF THE STREET! MOVE MOVE MOVE! FALL BACK THIS WAY TOWARDS AMERICAS AVENUE AND HEAD SOUTH. ALL VEHICLES REMAIN STATIONARY WHILE NYPD AND EMS DEAL WITH THE WRECKAGE."


Me: " Holy crap....holy crap this is insane..."*takes out phone and calls Kanine*


Kanine: Hello?


Me: *covering other ear* "Kanine!!! Don't come to Cosi!! Don't come to 48th street! It's been another chopper crash it's crazy here everyone'r running EVERYWHERE!!!"


Kanine: What? Hey hey baby slow down what's going on?


Me: "A chopper crashed into a building and it's on fire 48th is closed...we're all going back down Americas Avenue towards Times Square....this is CRAZY!"


Kanine: Oh my God are you serious!? Okay, stay on the phone with me, how far down America are you?


Me: "I just turned off of 48th.....look my phone battery is low and I need to call my mum and let her know where I am...." *talking over ruckus*


Kanine: Okay PLEASE PLEASE call me back okay? I'm coming to America ave right now!


Me: "Okay I will I'll call you back okay?" *over noise*


Kanine: Okay bae....


Me: *hangs up and dials NY Presbyterian Biosciences* "Come on mum.....come on come on....."


NY Pres: Hi you have reached New York Presbyterian Biosciences division, we are unable to take your call at this time. Please leave a message and we will return yor call when convenient. *beeps*


Me: "Ugh" *hangs up, calls Scar* "Pleeeeease..."


Scar: Heyya.


Me: "Scar, can you come pick me up!? Another chopper crashed literally yards away from me the city is under curfew and we're walking southbound on Americas ave....I can't get past 48th to Kanine's..."


Scar: OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY!? WHERE ARE YOU I'M COMING RIGHT NOW.....


Me: "I'm fine, I'm fine Scar okay? The NY Post is on my right I'm heading toward 47th......"


Scar: Got my keys I'm on the way meet on 46th and America okay? Stay there until I get there I'm running to my car now. *wind blows in phone*


Me: "Okay, I'll keep my battery for you it's getting low!"


Scar: Kay, coming bye! *hangs up*


Me: *looks at phone*


~5:03PM, battery: 16%~


Me: *looks around at the horde of people swarming south.* "Goodness gracious how did this happen to meeeee....." *sighs* *looks up near Times Square where several news and NYPD choppers hover overhead*


Me: *sends text to: Mummy, Dad, Norty* => 'I'm stuck in an crowd control type thing. we're moving south on Americas ave Scar is picking me up but whatever this thing is is hitting NYC. We're on citywide curfew smh this is crazy.'


~Hordes of people continue to move down along america avenue, I pass many corporate and professional buildings that seem to be sealing off windows and closing blinds. Residence buildings seem to take as many people as they can, I just continue to walk. And walk....and walk~


Me: *looks and sees the 46th street sign coming up*


[roars amongst the crowd gets louder than usual. Violent shouting and running commences as the crowd behind me pushes into my back]


Me: "Hey!!! What the?" *stumbles, looks back and sees the crowd running away from something in the distant background* *begins to speed up with the crowd* "What's going on!?!" *to the person behind me*


Man in suit: "I don't know we need to get off of the street!"


[bOOSH!]


~One car one into the back of another as a pile up begins~


Me: *looking at the traffic* "Hoooooly...."


NYPD Officer: "Let's move! go go go!!!" *directing pedestrians*


~Pedestrians speed up as the NYPD rolls up to the pile up~


[screams of people can be heard in the near distance]


Me: *looking back to see the source of screams*


NYPD Offcier: "Hey.....Hey!!!! Back off! Get off of her!"


Me: *looking back through the crowd of panic at the officer*


NYPD Officer: *fires gun at something*


[POP!! POP!! Roars fill the air as full scale panic commences]


Me: "OH SHIT!" *sprints away towards 46th st*


~A tsumani of pedestrians follow me, the ones in front break order and scatter in many directions. NYPD converges to where the gunshots are being fired, as terror fills the bodies of the fleeing population.~


Me: *crosses the street and runs down Americas ave. I bolt pass 46th street and remembered that's where I meet Scar* "Shit" *looks back at the stampede of people swarming my way, and I run full speed towards them* "Agh! Scuse me! Coming through!!!" *jukes and eludes rampaging pedestrians*


~I come into street view of 46th street, looking down that street into a vast assortment of vehicle I search for a red Honda Accord.~


Me: "Come on Scar where are you??" *strides down 46th street*


NYPD: *distant* "Everyone stay calm!!! Move south NOW!!! Go Go!!! Stay in an orderly fashion!!!...."


Me: *sprinting down 46th street looking for a red honda accord* "Ugh" *posts up in front of Liberty Mutual and dials Scar*


NY Liberty Mutual Employee: "Hey lady!!! You gotta' get inside here come on it's dangerous out there!!" *to me*


Scar: *answers, but phone remains silent*


Me: "Scar!?......Scar answer me! Where are you??" *covers ear*


Scar:.......


Me: *hangs up, continues down 46th*


NY Liberty Mutual Employee: "Hey, what are you doing!?" *reaching out to me*


~NYPD choppers fly meters above our heads down 46th street. Sirens can be heard in the near distance, but not seen.~


[The shouts and disorientation of the crowd amplifies]


Me: "SCARLEEEETTT!!!" *searching*


~More shots can be heard in the distance behind me~


[POP! POP! POP!!!]


Me: *looks around to see most people clearing the street, a few remain on the ground injured* "Oh my goodness...." *runs up to one injured man* "Sir are you okay? Sir!?"


Injured man: *unresponsive*


Me: *dials 911*


911: [beep beep beep beep beep]


Me: "Are you freakin KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?" *hangs up*


~Something touches my shoulder and grips as I'm unawared of its presence.~


Me: *jumps, instinctively grabs hand*


Scar: "Ow ow ow! Des it's ME!!"

Me: *lets go* "Scar I'm so sorry!!!" *hugs* "Can we please leave!?"


Scar: "Traffic's blocked my car's back at Havana Central. I stood on it and miraculously I seen you. I heard gunshots Destiny what's happening!?"


Me: "I have no idea, they were telling us to find shelter and that a city wide curfew was happening then we heard shots and then we just start running.." *unknowingly starts talking fast*


Scar: "Hey, hey it's alright" *rubs my back, hugs me* "Come on let's head into Havana..."


Injured Man: *grabs my leg*


Me: !? "Sir are you okay??" *pulls leg away and squats down*


Injured Man: *opens eyes* "gwaaaahhh..."


Me: *eyes widen at the cold, death white eyes before me* *gasps*


Injured Man: *lunges for my legs*


Me: "Agh!!!" *shouts, scoots away*


Scar: "Hey calm down man!!! We're trying to help......" *stops when she sees his white eyes, slowly backs away* "Destiny....what is that...?"


Me: *backs away* "Uhh....a blind man that needs help maybe?"*shuttering*


Injured Man: *gets up and limps towards us*


Scar: "Then why is he walking right at us like he can see?"


Me: "Maybe he's daredevil...?" *face gets more shocked*


Injured Man: "Gwwwwwwwaaaagah...." *reaches out for us*


~Suddenly a crowd member still running bumps into the injured man and knocks him down, he goes back to help him up~


Runner: "Oh God! I'm so sorry..." *helps injured man up*


Me: "Hey be careful..! Something's wr--" *cut short*


Scar: "No no he's acting str--"*cut short*


Injured Man: *grips runner and bites him in his chest*


Runner: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Scar: *screams, runs*


Me: "Hey!!!" *kicks injured man off of runner* "Oh my God...!"


Runner: "Agh....agh.....grr..." *looking down at blood seeping wound*


Me: "We need to get you into--" *interrupted by Scar*


Scar: *drags me away* "Come on, we're LEAVING!!! He's got rabies now and you're not getting them!!!"


Me: "We can't just leave him Scarlet!!!" *pulling away*


Runner: "Agh, please help.."


Injured Man: *grapples runner from behind, biting him in the neck and taking him down*


Runner: "AAAAGH!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAGH!!!" *wails*


Me: *scream* "HOLY SHIT!!!" *runs*


Scar: *screams and runs*


Me: "Your car! Go to your car!"


Scar: *runs in the street down towards her honda, dodging stationary vehicles*


Me: *follows Scar, jumping and leaping on top of cars*


[sWHOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!! SWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!]


~Military choppers zoom overhead and converge north towards the initial incident~

Me: *looks up at the choppers*


Scar: "Des COME ONNN!!!!" *motioning to her*


Me: *continues down the middle of the street on top of cars*


Scar: "I see it!!" *closes in on car*


Me: *spots 2004 red honda accord* "Me too!!!"


Scar: *unlocks door, gets in*


Me: *hops down off of cars and gets in passenger seat* "Soooo.....I'm pretty sure the police is occupied with this curfew......take the sidewalk..."


Scar: "What!?" *looks at me surprised*


Me: "Take that alleyway over there!!" *points across the street at a moderate size alley* "You can get off on another street and go back to campus."


Scar: *sighs* "uhhhh....."


Me: "You wanna stay here in this shit and get infected?? DRIVE."


Scar: ".............screw it" *cranks up car, begins to drive on the sidewalk to an alley on the left.* "Move move!!!!" *beeps horn*


Me: *motions people out of the way*


Scar: *turns left into an empty alleyway*


Me: "Good....ok now see if there's another left turn to take us back so we can head down south..."


Scar: "Okay....I think I see it" *driving up to a left turn and takes it* "What streeet is this?"


Me: "No idea, but look the cars are going south..."


Scar: *turns left out the alleyway and onto the sidewalk* "Shit it's packed here too..."


Me: "squeeze in!"


~Crowds of people swarm the streets and sidewalk migrating south, but yet in an unorderly fashion~

[BloodThunder27]

"You never know. It could save your life one day. Or maybe someone else who joins us later." I told him as I looked back at my car. I slowly walked over and opened the trunk. It was quite filled up with ammunition and supplies. I turned back to the young soldier. "That Humvee won't last long. Wanna take shotgun?" I asked him.
