They've been so kind in reminding me I can't say one word correctly 🤭

• I do take Lore requests and I put a star at the end of the chapter and a life changing question (for Tyler) so you guys can choose this storys fate. Sometimes... I ain't giving yall to much power 🤺

• SHIPS! don't do anything disturbing like shipping a child with an adult and such. Ships must be at 14 - any age older and they have to have a reasonable age gap. If I see any ships that are ridiculous I will delete it and block you ^^

• Lore. The Lore is going to be spread out between books so if you don't understand something in one book it will probably be in a different one. This is currently book 1...2? Yes I'm making Tyler's backstory and it will be explored in more detail.

THATS ALL FOLKS!

New Orleans - Kentwood.

Louisiana.

Dead body's were scattered onto the fragmented floor. The smell of rotten flesh and the decaying debris were around me. It was suffocating. It was intoxicating.

It's been 10 years since the outbreak. One fateful Sunday afternoon with my family next thing I know I see my dad take a bite out of my mama...then my sister then my wife and then my daughter.

My Sunflower was taken from me in an instant. Everything before that day is a blur. I can't remember how I survived,Fleed nor how I knew how to use a gun. All I know is that everything was taken away from me that day. And I'll never get it back.

I later found a group to refuge in with my now son Timothy (Timbo for short) and our dog Lavender. We hunt for the brains of those...infected. so we can find a cure for this disease of sorts.

Some are on the science side of the research,while I am on the more manual side of it of course it comes with its consequences but I've managed to survive and I've pulled more weight then any of those scumbags could ever do in a lifetime.. with that said....

"I, Jeremy Gilmerton and my son Timothy Gilmerton are stuck doing ******* clean up duty in an abandoned house.." I blurted out loud as I held my shot gun in my hands "How pleasing..."

"It's not that bad..we can see if the looters left anything behind for us to call dibs on!" He said trying to spread dreadfully needed optimisation in the air.

I turned to him and gave him a small chuckle. "They are called looters for a reason Squirt!" I said ruffling up his ginger hair with my left prostetic hand as I held the gun in the other. I walked over to the stairs seeing bloody foot prints. "Timbo, I think they may have forgotten one so be on guard" I said signaling upstairs.

He nodded before heading to the basement as I continued up the stairs, it was gruesome. So many soldiers died for an infected. Strong men and women lost their lives just to end of theirs, it wasn't fair.

As I continued to walk through the hallway, I saw a blood trail leading to one blocked off door. No noise was coming from it but it was definitely made to keep others out or maybe to keep something in, either way I have to kill any unwanted parasites from the facility, human or not.

I looked at the condition of the door, it's hinges were hand out and the door itself was barely standing, there were small holes at the bottom though they were not big enough to see through. I slowly lifted my leg up and was ready to strike the door down before I heard..

"Dad! Come down stairs, Now!" Shouted Timothy, I hesitate as I still wasn't able to open the door but I shook it off and went down stairs to see the commotion.

"What's wrong Timbo? What's with the shouting?" I asked pussled but he wouldn't anwser he would just stare,

He would stare infront of him like he had seen a ghost. I took a glance to see what he was talking about before standing there in shock.

Three children..

There was a small boy..with red,long, dreadlocks,Amber eyes and dark glowing skin. He wore a dirty white Teddy faced tee and shorts that were rolled to shreads.

The girl was younger but had an aggressive attitude towards me, she had velvet dreads up to her shoulders and 1 blue and 1 brown eye, her canines were sharp and her skin was a chocolate colour. She wore rags that were barely holding together and was covered in bites,dripping with blood.

My son was obviously mesmerised by their appearance and state, you could see his mouth tremble and his eyes were wide open as he stared at their injuries but then his focus turned to the girls hands. She carried a small baby that was crying in her arms.

Which brings us to the last of the three, a new born who looked the complete opposite of the last two. This little boy looked like he was just born, his skin was as white as paper and his hair was snow. His eyes were not open yet and he cryed,presumably for food.

I step forward to the girl holding the baby, she backed up quickly and started glaring at me as if to say 'One more move and I'll make sure you won't breathe again' of course I had no way of proving this.

"Hey..are you hungry?" I ask in a welcoming tone taking one slow step at a time, "I've got enough good for all of you at my place and clothes too." I managed to get into a close range with the girl as she has obviously eased up at the mention of food

"No estás mintiendo, ¿verdad viejo?" She said,

(Language: Spanish

Translation: "Your not lying are you old man?")

I looked at her confused before just instinctively crossed My head, she seemed pleased with that response.

I held out my hand as she cautiously grabbed it making sure I was not able to touch her brother and we made our leave but as we made it out the door I wondered why she was stareing at the second floor as if she longed to go there...

I named the mysterious trios,

Raymond - Bright,long,Red Dreads (10 years)

Tyler-Ray - Velvet, shoulder length, dreads (8 years)

And adorable Naru - The albino angel

(1 month)

And as we've spent more time together on our journey they've grown into such amazing places kids and I couldn't ask for anything more.. Well maybe for Tyler to be less inhumane but I guess that's what you get for adopting strays.

What happened after I found them?

Well..I guess you'll have to find out.

[Additional languages: Spanish]

[Tyler-Rays pov]

I woke up in an unfamiliar Room,with new clothes,my wounds dressed and a blanket over me in a room with soft baby blue paint on the walls and a lovely beige carpet surrounding me on the floor. The bed was soft,warm and surprisingly in a clean and great condition. I couldn't help but feel comfortable in such a state, but I mustn't get too comfortable as my brothers were not with me and I still needed to find them.

I slowly lifted myself up and quietly winced in pain.

"¿Quién me trajo aquí...?"

("who Brought me here...?")

My hands started to tremble in fear as I couldn't remember how I got here or where I came from. As I tried to recall anything that could help me I heard big footsteps coming from outside the room, I jumped up looking around for anything I could protect myself with but there was nothing I could find that would be affective, as the door opened I charged at the figure continuously punching and kicking as much as I could.

"¿¡que le hiciste a mis hermanos!?"

("What did you do to my brothers!?")

I screamed,looking up to see a middle aged man with light strawberry blonde hair and scruffy clothes.

"Slow down! I won't hurt you..uhm.. kid?" The man put down the tray he was holding onto a nearby surface before kneeling down to me,

"My name is Jeremy, Jeremy Gilmerton. And...uhm..can you understand me?"

He said slowly, I looked at him blankly and slowly nodded, "Yes I can.."

I point my attention to the tray Jeremy was holding, there was various different foods and snacks and a knife,I run towards the tray grabbing the knife and pointed it towards Jeremy but instead of shivering in fear he started to laugh.

"Ain't you cute. Your brothers were quite welcoming but you?,your a fighter and your smart, I can respect that." I lowered the knife as it had no affect on him but made sure to keep it close beside me just in case, "look kid, you don't need to trust me but you have to help me me out atleast, not everyone sees three kids in a abandoned warehouse and much less one with bite marks and survive the 5 hour mark. But you did" he took a step closer and layed his hand infront of me.

"Can you give me the knife?" He asked pointing to his hand.

"No. Its mine." I say holding it tightly "Get...g...get your own nif!" I shouted struggling to put the correct words together.

"K-n-i-f-e. Knife." He corrected, "You don't speak English well...hmm that's nice to know." He pondered for a few minutes and I took a quick look at the door behind us. Maybe if I run I can make it out..or..., "Your name?." His voice caught me off guard "what?" I asked.

"What's your name?" He repeated once more awaiting an answer.

"Don't have."

"You don't have a name? At all?" I shook my head. "That's it I'm giving you a name! How about...Lilly?"

"No."

"Roxanne?"

"No"

"Oh I know how about Ray! Or Tyler!"

I shrugged,

He stood there pondering. "Tyler-Ray?"

I stood there thinking, Tyler-Ray sounded good but It wasn't exactly a name to spread fear among my enemies, oh well I guess it will have to do.

"Tyler..uhm Ray."

Jeremy's face lit up, "Well then, welcome to Rogans Burrow Tyler-Ray, your brother Raymond is downstairs with My son Timothy."

"You named him too?" He nodded with a bright grin on his face, "So are you coming downstairs with me?"

"Will there be food?" I ask

"As much food as you want" he replied as he gently took my hand and lead me down the wooden stairs.

As we went down I see various people,children,teens,adults and elders all in a huge room with a long table which I presume to be the dining room and the closer we got,the closer I could see my brother Raymond with another peculiar boy that I soon realised was Timothy.

"Where's Naru?" I asked pulling Jeremy's sleeve "he's safe don't worry,he's just sleeping in the kindergarten, you can see him after you eat."

When we made it down I was greeted with a warm embrace with Ray,

"¡Hermana! ¡Estás bien!"

(Sister! Are you okay?)

He hugged me as tight as he could before gently putting me down seeing my discomfort.

"Are you alright?" He asked again putting his hand on my shoulder, "I'm Fine don't worry, just Cautious." He nodded "They must want something from us in return for this hospitality,The question is What do they want" I shrugged my shoulders.

The boy next to him walked towards me,he had ginger hair and amber eyes with many freckles around his face,

"Your Raymond's sister right?" I nod

"I'm Tyler-Ray" I said holding my hand out towards him,

"Oh hello Tyler-Ray, My names Timothy! My father's Jeremy Gilmerton as you may know, did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes, it was comfortable I guess"

"I do hope so! You slept till 4:00pm,everyone was worried about you!" Worried huh? I doubt that but say what you must to make me feel better.

Raymond looked towards the door, "There's a huge wall around us providing us shelter..I think it's pretty cool!" He said trying to get my attention.

"It's just a wall." I said.

"a huge wall!" He said eagerly jumping up and down.

"Yea, a big wall. Yippe." By the tone of my voice I think he got the impression that I was not happy and he would be right. We are trapped and surrounded with unfamiliar people and not to mention in a huge cage waiting to be opened,it's dangerous here but it's the best we have at the moment and I know we won't last long if we leave.

I turn to see Jeremy and a few others behind me carrying food and strange equipment. "What are those?" I say pointing to the thing in the hands of a very skinny man, "It's a Swab we are using it to see if your infected. It won't hurt,I promise."

I take a step back. "I will not let you touch me or my brothers."

"Kid please it's for everyone's safety, just let me help you-" he grabbed my hand towards him and started to drag me, I pulled back as hard as I could releasing myself from his grasp and ran towards my brother Raymond,

"Do not touch me!"
