Thread: The Walking Dead [one x one between randomname98766789 and Izzy325]

The scene being shown on the news was terrifying. Sick people were going angry and attacking the nearest human beside of them. In one instance, they showed a man lying prone on a stretcher before reaching up and ripping a piece of flesh out of the emergency workers neck. What was even more horrendous was after the fact when armed police officers shot this person. Nearly one dozen shots were fired off into the mans chest but he was not impacted. It was not until a bullet went through his skull before he finally fell down onto the ground. Ben was disgusted but he could not tear his eyes away from the screen. It was unbelievable and too ridiculous to be true. Shaking his head, the male attempted to switch the channel but everything was showing similar news reports. Even stations that were not local were televising this information. Hell, even ESPN and other sports networks that Ben loved were showing the same shit. It was too frustrating so Ben just huffed deeply and shut off the piece of technology. Maybe himself and Riley could play video games together or something to distract themselves from what was going on. Standing from the bed, Ben stretched out his legs and shook his head while looking to his best friend and roommate. I have no idea, man. I dont know what the hell is happening but theres nothing we can do about it but try and stay safe. Lets play some PlayStation and worry about this later. With a nod, he walked over to change the television source input channel and switched it to HDMI 3 so he could power up the console system but as soon as the power button was touched, a loud and bloodcurdling scream was heard from outside. Their dorm was about three stories in the air and on the far side of campus but plenty of people walked on the sidewalks below to travel from place to place or to get to their rooms. Quickly, Ben sprinted to the window to see a young lady falling on the ground while some guy chased after her. This guy looked strange, though. His skin was pale, he was moving sluggishly and there was blood all over his shirt. It also looked eerily like scenes shown on TV but he tried to not even think about it at all. Stay here, Ry. Ben warned in a deep, demanding tone but used the affectionate nickname that he developed for Riley. Well, anybody with the name Riley has probably had this nickname but Ben took pride in being the first to call him that so he just considered it to be their thing. Reaching in the closet, Ben took a Louisville Slugger and turned to sprint out the room. He dashed to the left and maneuvered through a few hallways until reaching the outside door. Rain was starting to drizzle and the action was about thirty yards down the sidewalk. Hey Hey! The male shouted and the girl was now flat on her back but with this shouting and yelling, this figure was finally starting to turn around and start slowly moving towards Ben. ------------------------------- Troubling news sounded off from the television set in the next room but David tried to keep his spirits high. Himself and his fiance were moving into their home together. Paper work was finished and the small house was move-in ready. Sure, they hoped to find a bigger home one day in the future but for now this was a perfect start. When the brunette walked outside, David put on his best smile and allowed his own arms to wrap around her neck before returning the kiss eagerly. After pulling back, he simply chuckled quietly and finally released the woman from his grip. No baby, I am packed and I am ready to go. Lets get this show on the road. Happily, the male took Maggies hand and linked their fingers together before walking back inside the house through the front door. In the living room was the entire family Father, step-mother, step-brother, and sister. Hershel was the first to greet the pair. I know you two will love the house. Make sure to call after you get settled in. We love you both. Hershel hugged his daughter and then his soon to be son-in-law. Next, they went down the line and wished the couple the best. Always, the Greene family loved David and they always knew this day would come. Despite the stereotype that fathers would always despise any boyfriend or husband his daughter had never applied here. Through all the years they have been together, never once has David given Hershel a reason to doubt David. In fact, he had even saved Maggies life at one point. A fire broke out in the apartment building one night when David had a late game. Maggie was fast asleep and had no idea but he carried her out the building to safety. It was just a small showing of what he was willing to do for her. Back in the present after all the goodbyes, David turned to Maggie and linked their arms together before walking back out the door with her and outside towards the SUV. So is my lovely lady going to drive or will I be your chauffeur for tonight?
