28 Days Later

"So what're you doing here anyways? And what's your name?" the filly asked, curiously. " I'm here because I'm from the DNESF and I just woke up today...I don't know why." I answered. "Crap...What should I name myself? Uh....Something original!" I thought to myself. "My name is Halcyon." I replied. "Yeah...Original name that is...." I thought sarcastically to myself. "Wait...You're from the DNESF?!" The filly asked with a feared expression. "Yes...But I'm not a scientist or anything...I simply was an experiment to a weird scientist... I don't remember anything from my past..." I replied. "Oh....okay..." The filly replied. "So...What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Volet, but my friends call me Vol." Vol answered. "Alright. Nice to meet you Vol!" I greeted and stuck out my hoof. "Nice to meet you too Halcyon!" Vol greeted back and shook my hoof.

After the night passed, we left the barn and started walking back to the city. "So exactly, how do you get in this underground place where all the survivors are at?" I asked. "Well there's a hidden entrance that no zombie-pony can find because they're too stupid to look for it." Vol answered as he led the way. After a couple of minutes of walking, we finally reached the hidden entrance. It was a hole in the floor covered by a broken door. Normally it would look obvious, but with all the destruction this city has been in, it's a really good hidden entrance."Go in." Vol said as he raised the broken door for me to enter. When I had dropped down in the hole, I saw a gate with guards. "Those guys are nice. Don't be shy!" Vol said as he walked towards the guards after he had dropped down. I followed him and when I approached the guards, they immediately pointed their guns at me. "It's okay guys. He's with me. He saved my life when I was scouting yesterday." Vol said while gesturing the guards to put their guns away from me. "Alright." One of the guards replied and all of the guards put their guns away. "Open the gate!" Another guard yelled. As the gate opened, I could see all of the survivors weren't scared but instead were normal. They weren't hiding in a corner, crying, or anything like that at all! They were planning, organizing, talking to one another like normal ponies! "Follow me Halcyon. We need to speak to the captain. He'll decide if you can join us or not." Vol said as he walked. I followed Vol to an office door. Vol knocked the door and said "I'll talk to him. You stay here, 'kay?". "Alright." I answered and sat down on a chair. "Who is it?" A deep voice asked. "It's Vol." Vol replied and when he said that, the door opened and closed when he entered in the room.

As I waited for Vol, I looked around seeing all the ponies work. "Hi!" A mare greeted me as she walked by me. "Hey." I replied. I heard the door open and saw Vol walk past the door. "Well...Good news! You're in!" Vol said, happily. "Awesome!" I said, standing up from my chair. "Here's your room key, clothes, and by the way, you're going to share your room with another pony" Vol said. "Alright. I'm fine with that." I replied as I took my room key and clothes.

When I got to my room, I opened the door only to see the same mare that greeted me on her bed. She had red fur, a long silver mane and tail. "Oh! Hey! So you're my new roommate, huh?" She said. "Uh...Yeah." I replied. "I'm Zeatra." Zeatra said as she laid on her bed. The room was a medium sized room with a bunk bed and another room (of which is the bathroom) near the bunk beds. I put my clothes on the clothe hangers. "What's your name?" Zeatra asked. "I'm Halcyon." I answered. "Not to tell be rude or anything but, why are you here?" Zeatra asked. "Well...I'm here because I was once an experiment of a weird scientist of the DNESF and I saved a filly named Vol, who apparently is a member of this underground clan thing." I answered. "Yeah. I know Vol." Zeatra said. "Yeah and well... Now I'm here." I replied "Why are you here?". "Well...My parents were killed in the outbreak and I found some survivors and they led me here. I'm now an elite warrior. I guess they want me to teach you since I'm an elite warrior and stuff." Zeatra answered "I guess you can think of me as a teacher but I want you to think of me as a friend.". "Ah. So that's why I'm here." I said. "Anyways, it's getting late. You should get some rest. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. At least for you." Zeatra said, chuckling. "Alright." I replied "Good night!". "Good night!" Zeatra replied, turning the lights off.
