Fiona Tarsis: The Bee Virus

Improved Essays
Fiona Tarsis is a small blip in the history of the world, a young woman who may have otherwise went unnoticed if not for the remarkable role she played in the curing of the Bee Virus. She is known for many things; the woman who helped establish and spread a Cure for a Virus, the wife of Dreydon Bowen--the leader of the district--and the first of the infected to be cured. But, of course, that's not where her story began. Her story started earlier, much earlier.

Not much is known about her life before the bee extinction loomed and the Virus. She was a very private person, so her personal life before the Virus was never really leaked into public. But from many different sources, pieces have been put together about even the simplest of

The mother survived the Virus and was relocated from behind the Wall to another location in western Wyoming, a camp known as Fort Sumner. In the year 2025, the mother died at the age of 67, reasons unknown. The father was a war veteran, and reports have been made that he was unable to walk, but have not been validated as of yet. While he died in 2011, medical and autopsy reports both validate each other: he was mauled to death, most likely by a Beast (person infected with the vaccine Virus) and it was shortly afterwards that Fiona and Jonah Tarsis were admitted to Ward Hospital to be put under until a cure was created (a sentence that Jonah Tarsis was able to escape, while Fiona did not). Meaning that, when Fiona and Jonah Tarsis began to be affected by the vaccines and began to turn into Beasts, one of them, in a blind fit of rage, attacked and killed Mr. Tarsis. The elder sister, Lisa Tarsis, went on to marry the doctor in charge of finding a cure and the infected children, a Dr. Michael …show more content…
Lisa Tarsis tended to her sister during that time, until Dr. Grayson discovered a cure. But the governor, Matthew Greb, had evidence against him showing that he was having any cured children murdered. So Dr. Grayson cured Fiona Tarsis and sent her outside the Wall, to the land of Beasts, Raiders, Militia, and Fecs.

Fiona awoke from her coma and was soon captured by Militia, who feared her due to the fact that she was a Ten (for each vaccination, a line was added to the original oval tattoo. With ten legs, she was known as a Ten; the most vicious and strongest of all the Beasts). Dreydon Bown, a child-hood acquintance of Fiona's, was put in charge of her. The pair only stayed in the Militia camp for a week before, for reasons unknown, the pair left the safety of the camp and towards the Wall.

The events that occurred from this point in time to their arrival inside the wall and the replacement of the corrupt governor with Bowen are unknown and widely disputed. Some say there was a Fec involved known as Arrin, who was a smuggler, and some say that the Militia, Beast fights, and a horde of wild Beasts were involved. Some argue that there is evidence to back up that this all occurred when, in reality, there isn't enough substantial evidence to support this
