I woke up and got dressed for school, my sister Mika was brushing her hair and teeth.

"Mika! Lizzie! Come on get some breakfast" Mom yelled and we ran towards her, my dad sat on the couch in the living room and turned on the tv to some cartoons.

"Ohh who lived in a pineapple under the sea.." the tv sang and I grabbed my cereal and ran to the couch

Mika gave mom a kiss on the cheek and sat next to me on the couch eating Trix.

"Oh, I love this episode" Mika said and smiled

"Patri-" Spongebob was cut off and it switched to the news

"Breaking News: People are coming back from the dead, the dead are rising and are devouring other humans. All citizens must stay in their homes and lock doors. The dead ar-" Dad switched the tv off and told Mika, Mom, and I to follow him upstairs.

"What's going on? Daddy, i'm scared" Mika said looking like she was going to cry

"I don't know" Dad said looking out the window.

"What are we supposed to do? We can't stay in here forever!" Mom said

We heard gunshots outside and I hugged Mika, those things were close by and were going to eat us, I can't die like this!

Then I made the mistake of looking outside, there was some people outside, the dead ones, I held onto Mika while she cried and I myself felt like crying.

"Theres a car coming for us, Mark, a friend from work is going to take us away from the city where theres less of the undead, come on, is there any food we can take? Pack it hurry and run hes on his way" Dad said and passes us each a bag to put supplies in, then he left to go in the basement and came out with two knives and a gun, I got a knife and he and Mom kept the gun and knife

"Lizzie, stay by Mika, that knife is for you to protect both of you, now come on, the cars here" Mom said and we ran outside to a van and got inside but while I was getting in I saw the dead eating a lady, it was terrifying, these things were bad and were killing innocents, how long could I survive out here?

~ 2 Hours Later

We went to the woods and a few other of my parents friends were there with some cars and their kids looked terrified, I knew I was, it was getting dark and we all just decided some of us would take watch and others would sleep in the cars, but if I had known what would happen that day, I wouldn't have let my guard down and maybe Mom wouldn't be dead.
