90°celsius Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 First try at a story of any kind. Hope you enjoy![align=center][spoiler=Character Applications]I haven't really made a whole list of characters so I need some from you guys. Please before you fill one out please note that he or she may be killed. Applications must be pmed to me this way any secrets about them aren't revealed to readers. Name:Gender:Appearance:Weapon:History:Personality: [spoiler= Manhunt Theme Song]The Kids Aren't Alright by Offspringhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4-aUiddpUo [spoiler=Prologue]It was around five o'clock in the afternoon, my friends Kyle, Max, Zoe, and I were playing video games. It was a first person shooter game called Manhunt, basically you and up to nineteen others had to survive for 24 hrs while hiding from and killing zombies. You had to find food, weapons, and ammunition otherwise you were toast if one of the five starter zombies found you. Each time a human was killed they became a zombie faster, but weaker than the starter zombies. Zoe and I were humans along with a group of 18 kids on other consoles across the US and UK. Kyle and Matt were starter zombies along with three others. The game started and we each ran to try to find supplies. I finally found a Sniper Rifle with a package of three bullets next to it. Zoe who was sticking with me had a Double Barrel Shotgun she had two bullets already in the gun and six more in a pouch that held ammunition. We hid in the basement of an abandoned house. "This game is so realistic!" said Zoe as she readied her weapon in case of an attack. I noticed the mail man drop off the mail so I went outside to go get it. When I looked through I noticed a champagne colored envelope with my name on the front. I opened the envelope only to see an invitation to a birthday party being hosted by Matt Donald, the most popular kid in our school. I read the writing on the inside... Dear Joshua, It has come to my attention that your are a skilled Sniper in the video game Manhunt. I'd like to invite you to a REAL game of manhunt this Saturday at Beauregard lake.I would appreciate it if your friend Zoe could also accompany you, I am told she may even be better than you. All supplies will be provided by me, please do not bring anything with you other than the cloths on your back. Hope to see you there Josh. I stood there fore a good five minutes wondering what he meant about REAL. I went in to the living room and showed the invitation to Zoe, the game was now over. "You don't think he really wants us to fight zombies do you?" I asked "No, It's just his way of getting us to come to the dumb party!" responded Zoe "So then are you going?" "No I'll just kick back and relax." "OK, but I'm gonna check it out." "You can't be serious!" said Max "Your so gullible!" "You didn't even get invited!" I shot back "Whatever, I gotta go, see you guys later." said Max leaving "Me too, see you later Josh." said Zoe smiling and waving goodbye. I wondered to myself if it was actually a fake like they said. I decided to take a nap, tomorrow was Friday my favorite day of the week. [spoiler=Chapter 1]I awoke slowly to the annoying sound of my alarm. I rubbed my eyes and got up. I was an average fifteen year old, I had brown hair and eyes. The only real thing different between me and the average teen was my fascination with the paranormal. I loved believing that there were ghosts, and ghouls out there, but I thought it was just my imagination. I got dressed and went to catch my bus. There I met Amber, my girlfriend. "Good morning!" called Amber waving her hand in a rapid motion. "Good morning." I responded. We waited for a good thirteen minutes before our bus came. Amber and I along with everyone else at the stop got on the bus. "Oh grate the two love birds!" said Mr. Carlson the bus driver. "I better not catch you two making out again!" "I can't wait to drive!" I mumbled under my breath. Amber and I sat down next to each other and just to annoy Mr. Carlson we started making out. We didn't stop until we were interrupted by my friend Zoe who had just got on the bus. "Wow Josh!" said Zoe. "What else do you do in PUBLIC places?" "Oh, Zoe!" I stuttered Zoe and I had been friends since we were two years old. We knew everything about each other. Zoe had long brown hair and blue eyes. She was a typical girl for the most part. The only real tomboyish feature she had was her obsession with video games. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying girls can't play video games, but there's playing and then there is obsessing. "Are you still going to that party tomorrow?" she asked sitting down behind Amber and I. "Yeah, you sure you don't want to come?" "Yeah I'm sure." After that Zoe and Amber started talking about makeup or something like that, I pretty much spaced out. When I arrived at school I got off the bus happy. It was the last day of school before Summer vacation. I was extremely exited! On the last day of school every year we had a party. Not a big party or anything, but it did get us out of half the work of an average day. During homeroom we all sat down and wrote in our daily log. Seeing as today was the last day it was due. The daily log was a Journal we had to write in every day. We had one for every class. Each log focused on what ever subject the teacher who gave them to us taught. Nothing exiting happened during school that day other than the fact that for lunch we had an all you can eat pizza buffet. After school Zoe, Amber, and my friend Max came over to my house. Max and Zoe started up a video game, while Amber and I made out. "Ahem, Romeo!" said Max in a stern voice. "You playing or what?" "Yeah, give me a controller." We started playing some kind of RTA game. I wasn't really in to stuff like that so I signed out and started making out with Amber again. "So whats this party you were talking about earlier?" asked amber taking a breath of air "Oh, I'm not sure really." i responded "It's being held by Matt Donald." "Can I come too?" asked Amber. "Well I guess, but... "Oh thank you!" "Um, sure." I have to say Amber wasn't the brightest girl I knew. She was definitely a blond. The next day I picked Amber up and we went to Beauregard Lake and saw a group of about twenty people. "Ah Joshua,... WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?" asked Matt as he approached us. "Zoe didn't want to come so I brought Amber instead. Is it really that big of a deal?" "She knows nothing of gaming! I want her gone now!" "If she leaves we will only have nineteen participants sir." said a large muscular man in a black suit. "Fine, she may stay but I guarantee she will be the first to die." "Die, what do you mean die?" asked Amber in a panic. "Oh nothing just a figure of speech..." Matt left and Amber held my arm tightly. a couple of minutes later I suddenly blacked out. When I awoke, Amber was next to me. I felt soaking wet. I looked around and we were on a beach. The waves were hitting us both. Amber slowly woke up as well. "Were are we?" screamed Amber. "I don't know." Amber began crying, and laid her head on my shoulder. I noticed a box with my name on it. I opened the box revealing a Crossbow and five arrows. Amber opened another box next to mine and inside was a pair of Glock Nineteens. She looked at me and I looked at her back. It was obvious that the so called game, was much more realistic than I had anticipated. [spoiler=Chapter 2]I starred at Amber, she looked like she was about to start crying again. I then looked at the crossbow. I couldn't believe this was happening. Then I started thinking if this much was real, were the zombies real as well. Suddenly I heard screaming coming towards us. I knew from experience with the game that if this was a starter zombie it wouldn't be able to be killed. Thank god it wasn't, it was a curly haired red headed boy. He ran over to us and looked shocked. "Wait... weren't you guys at the part as well?" asked the boy. "Yeah we were." I responded. "Thank god, I thought you were zombies!" "Who are you?" asked Amber just as confused as I was. "I'm Charlie." "I'm Josh and this is Amber." "Listen we need to get out of here!" said Charlie. "Yeah your right." I agreed. We ran away from the beach and started searching for things we could use. Charlie found a bayonet for his AK-74u, I found an apple tree, and Amber found some sticks... yeah. We started looking for others. After about fifteen minutes I saw someone. "Hey look." I said pointing at the person. "Wait what is that behind him?" asked Amber "sheet, it's a starter zombie!" said Charlie "Hide!" I said as I aimed my crossbow. "What are you doing? Starter zombies are invincible!" "Just watch." I shot the arrow next to the person's foot. He looked around and noticed the zombie. Starter zombies are slow so he was able to run away. "Nice work!" said Charlie. "We need to get out of here I said!" Just then we terned around to see an infected zombie standing there. Infected could be killed easily but were extremely fast, we had to act quickly. I hadn't loaded another arrow yet. I looked at charlie he was paralyzed by his fear. We needed to do something now! "AMBER SHOOT!" She pointed her gun at the infected and fired as fast as she could. The infected fell to the ground but Amber was still firing. "Amber, you can stop now... She had accidentally shot my shoulder. That at least got her attention. She came over to me and tried her best to help. My shoulder was bleeding heavily. Charlie now able to move got the sticks Amber found, and used the bayonet to carve them until they were small enough to be used to take the bullet out of my shoulder. After Charlie had taker the bullet out he tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around my shoulder. "There, that should stop the bleeding for now." "How did you know how to do that?" Amber asked confused. "I am studying to be a doctor at my high school." Amber than apologized and started crying. I at the time was pretty pissed and ignored her. Then trying to get my attention she did probably one of the stupidest things ever. She took her guns and threw them down below were the person had been earlier.
