Chapter 1 - Disaster

SCANNING COMPLETE...

[hello patient 01 your designated hibernation pod timer has concluded]

The boy looks around,scared if he could be collapsed pillars once's used to keep the building he was in up the floor drenched in blood as bloodcurdling screams bellowing from the hallway,it seemed as if it heard him,the only thing staying between him and whatever that thing was,was a collapses wall

What year is it

The boy asked hoping whatever he was greeted by was listening

December 7,3098

Surely this thing was malfunctioning for the boy remembered his family wasn't that 2025 he though but he couldn't be sure for his thoughts were being interrupted by the impossibly high pitched screams violating his ears

What's that noise

The boy asked without a tone

A "an adolescent screecher"the mechanic voice answered

Screecher?

The boy asked confused

A screecher is an bipedal creature that has been observed to be completely blind and incredibly good hearing, it bears no skin and its teeth are extremely sharp,with long hind legs and short front legs its speed is extremely dangerous the only know way to kill one is to create a high enough frequency to blow out its ears rendering it useless

Where did they come from

The boy asked trying to be curios but only comes off as being completely emotionless

The origins of this creature and many others are completely unknown

Why was I in a hibernation pod

99 percent of all human were wiped out when these creatures flooded the earth 900 years ago

Leading scientists found you and many others with the perfect genes traits and other variable including age to repopulate the world but a systematic failure occurred leaving you trapped for centuries at this point in time recapturing earth is 100 percent impossible

I see but the place I find myself I'm trapped I will eventually starve won't I

Correct unless you are to use your extra dna

What's that

When you humans where first pushed into bunkers from the apocalypse you discovered that implanting screecher dna Into human at the right amount some humans would achieve special ability's such as blood control,body reconfigurations,incredible iq and more,from my scanning of you you should be able to expel extremely high pitch sounds

How can that help me from dying in this place

It cannot

I see

As the boy sits down ready to die,but before he can take his own life he hears the screechers running away

What,who's there

The boy screams hoping it wasn't something bigger that scared those things away

It's me down panic I'll be there

As the once seemingly indestructible wall was shattered to show a girl with black hair and black eyes with a muscular build and a hospital gown

H-how old are you

How old am I ?

You're age is 12

12! They promised not to involve any children

The girl says worryingly

Ok kid how about we leave here me and you

The says while offering her hand

It's seems only me and you are here kid

As they walk through the dimly lit hospital and destroyed hallway covered in blood and other bodily fluids hallway it smoothly transitions to a rough gritty bunker room the walls scratched by something and the floors cold,the beds untidy and opened ramen cups filled with dirty water probably to drink

Ugh I don't remember any of this

The girl says disgusted but the boy can't understand why the girl cares

They both walk to the door it seems so thick yet it has been torn off and thrown around as they both advance to the bunker door before they can open it they hear a low loud bellowing roar and heavy foot steps approaching them

What's that

The girl says frozen in fear

The girl opens the door and throws the boy outside before running out as well and closing the door.

What the fu- oh I'm sorry little boy you didn't hear that from me okay

The girl says hoping the boy didn't hear he almost curse

The girl then gets up and turn around to see a heavy low fog covering there sight the place is cold yet the cold is the least of there problems as they hear a deer screaming in pain as it is ripped apart

We need to run says the girl

grabbing the boy and hiding in a bush nearby but to there best effort the thing hears them and rushes to the bush

Get back screams the girl before reconfigurating her arms and punching the screecher

Hmm come at me you ugly hunk
