Erebus Maverick Rosen laughed when the men took his mom and dad away. Finally. He didn't like his parents very much, and he only tolerated his mom. He knew there was some dumb virus going around, only affected the older people, and somehow, the majority of younger kids built up an immunity to it.
To Erebus, it was a very convenient opportunity. Like the time at a family reunion he rallied the younger kids and took his stupid girl cousin and held bees at her wrists and let them sting her until she passed out. He was beat later for it, but he didn't feel any shame as his father's thick belt tore into his back. No, he merely felt interrupted.
But that stupid cousin of his was sick and taken away, so he couldn't finish. However, with the adults gone, he could do whatever he felt like, and no one would stop him this time.
He stared on while he sat on his roof and watched as the people across the street were ripped from their homes. He took a drag from his cigarette and saluted to the men taking the sick away. They were taking them somewhere far away, so they could die and dump the bodies.
The sun finally rose and cast its rays across the diseased world. Erebus smiled for the first time in what seemed like a long time, and jumped from the roof to begin his hunt.
(a/n: these first few chapter will be a lot shorter than most of the others I have planned, so just bear with the introductions because it's about to pick up very fast.)
