The Paradise of a Pessimist.

The Paradise of a Pessimist is an OC fanfiction story set in the UK instead of the US like many other stories, it follows a group of several people, originally consisting of Mitchell, Matt, David, Olivia, Ben, Tom, Will, Chloe, Holly, Natasha, Danny, Dylan and Shannon.

The events of the first seven chapters follow the group after their camp has been overrun by a large herd of Walkers. The attack causes a few deaths in the beginning and causes the group to split up but luckily, due to a plan made earlier in the apocalypse they knew where they were to go in case an attack was to ever happen, following this plan, they all seek to find eachother again.

Chapter 1
Chapter one begins with "Two figures" on a journey through the woods in the morning after the attack, we learn that one of the figures is Will, a man described as "Medium sized" and with "brown hair that wasn't too long or too short", he is distraught by the events of what happened and Natasha, a short girl with red dyed hair in a messy bun, who is trying to keep up with his pace. She manages to stop him, and get him to talk, he turns to her with an emotionless look on his face.

Will then questions her on the numbers of the group after the attack, she names everyone that she witnessed escape the attack safely, naming Matt, Mitchell, Ben, Olivia and Holly along with confirmation that David was "screaming" which alerted them all to the attack, this confirms the death of David. She tells of how she doesn't know about the other survivors which leaves their fates a mystery for now. Natasha looks at their surroundings and points out that The Marina is not in their current direction, but instead back the other way.

They decide it's best to return to the way they came and go to The Marina where they would find others. As they began walking, sticks could be heard cracking around them, Will approached it first as Natasha was weaponless, they got closer to hear heavy breathing.

The heavy breathing was revealed to be coming from Chloe, another camp survivor. Natasha was overjoyed to see someone from their group alive, as she rushed to Chloe's side. She asked her if she was bit or hurt which to their relief she wasn't but that Danny didn't make it. this causes Natasha to swear out, noting that Danny was a survivalist and they he'd be the most likely to survive. Will commented that Danny was "mint" meaning awesome.

They resumed their trek to The Marina, Will pointed out that they would need weapons and that a "Shitty bat" wouldn't work. They decided it would be best to travel to the old camp and retrieve some weapons to assist them in surviving. Chloe asked the same question that Will asked earlier about people surviving, Natasha repeated her earlier answer and asked the same question back to Chloe who commented that she saw Tom and Shannon get out but Shannon was unfortunately bitten by a Walker during the fight back.

After about half an hour of travelling and talking they returned to the camp which looked peaceful as it did before the attack, except tents had been destroyed and bodies were everywhere. Chloe noticed that one of the destroyed tents had a body inside, she rushed to see who it was which revealed that during the attack, Dylan had perished. She began to drag his body from the tent until he sprung to life and grabbed her, gnarling and snapping at her with his dead eyes. She screamed in fear until Will intervened and crushed the now undead Dylan's head in with the bat. Ending his life again.

Chloe sat there, distraught by the events and crying. Natasha pointed out that Dylan had no bites or scratches, but was instead trampled in the chaos. Will was confused and decided to investigate Dylan's body for scratches or bites, eventually finding none. He confirmed that he found no bites which leads Natasha to shout "I knew it!" recalling a time she thought they didn't have to be bitten to come back.

During this Chloe got up and questioned where the weapons where, which lead Will to search Danny's untouched tent. That's where they stored their weapons as it was the largest tent.

Will peered inside and back out, nodding to Natasha about the weapons as she went in to retrieve them. She grabbed two hunting knives, a crossbow, a backpack and two bottles of water. Putting the water in her bag and a knife inbetween her belt and pants she exited, giving Will the crossbow and a knife whilst Will gave Chloe the bat. They made one final look at the now destroyed camp, before leaving for The marina, to find their friends.
