Everything went by in a flash. I don't know what went wrong. How did things turn out like this? As I run home i feel the wind in my hair as i run as fast as the flash. Putting in all my energy just to survive. I feel tears dropped down like a river, crying to the point of being comatose, numb to the feeling of losing everything i've ever had. Just gone from my grasp. Just like that.

hours before the outbreak

Early in the morning. "Ashley, wake up or you're going to be late for school," Mom said. But the mom got no reply back. "Ashley James get up," Said mom. "Ok mom i'm coming," I replied. So I got ready for school, went downstairs then heard my dad and mom having a conversation while eating breakfast. "Morning mom and dad, '' I said. "Morning ash," Dad said. " If you don't mind, I'm going to take the bus to school today," I announced. "Ok just make sure you eat breakfast first, " Said mom.

I sat down at the table and ate breakfast until it was time for me to go. By the time I got to school I saw everyone lined up. I went to my friend Fiona and I asked her what was happening. She didn't know, no one knew what was happening.

All we could see was police officers armed to the teeth. They asked us in the classroom when we get home lock the doors and don't let anyone in. We started to hear police cars pass by and we tried to ignore and continue with our work. We went in, a little bit after 2nd period we heard a crash and screaming coming from outside. The teacher looked worried and confused. Everyone got up and looked out the window.

At that moment we were speechless, we looked at our phones to see an alert that there has been an outbreak and to stay inside. But i couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen to my mom and dad, all I knew was I had to find them. I had to find a way out of this classroom just needed to know if they were alive. "What the heck is that?".

One of the boys in the class said as he was freaking out as well as the others in class." Everyone calm down, there has to be some kind of explanation for this, we just need to remain calm and wait for the proper authorities to get here,"Ms. Mary said. "And what if they don't come, what'll happen to us then. We just wait here and hope what ever those things are kill us quick?". Wyatt said.

The class looked in complete disbelief as if they believed what Wyatt was saying were true. I didn't focus on the comment with questions running through my mind at the time was will I ever find my parents? are they dead? AM I GOING TO DIE? One thing for sure is that my life had changed. I was not going to have a moment of peace, my life wouldn't be the same ever again.

A few hours later


"Just face it they're not coming to get us, hell they might even be dead". Wyatt said. " You guys have way too much trust in people, if they wanted to save us they would've told us there was a possibility this might've happen. Face it we're all dead. The only way to survive is to get weapons and get the heck out of this school".

And I can't believe I'm saying this but I agreed with him that the only way we can survive is to trust ourselves and only ourselves. I could see the fear on their faces as he said that. So he got up and got out of the classroom and I followed. As we stepped out of the classroom we heard a loud bang at the end of the hallway. One of my classmates tried to look around the corner. We saw a person come out, they looked like they haven't slept in days. Torn clothing, blood all over them. As soon as the classmate came out something bit him. Everyone ran, I stood there frozen, wanting to run. But I couldn't, at that moment I thought I was going to die.

When the thought of seeing my family came to my mind, I couldn't die and leave them. So I made it follow me to the cafeteria, it was slow so I had the advantage in speed. I grab a knife from the cafeteria. Scared to do anything I closed my eyes and stabbed. I then heard screams coming from the classroom I was in with my classmates. As I reached there was no one. Just blood all over the walls, all over the floor. " FIONA, Wyatt, guys where are you guys. I got one! Guys,"I said screaming on the top of my lungs.

Going down the stairs there was something bugging me there was blood but no one there, where could they have gone. I'll get out of this school and find them. I ran carrying the knife by my side terrified of what I saw outside. "Where are the cops? Where are the people?"I said. Everything was gone, the sky was orange. The sun was red. After seeing what I saw I immediately ran home. I remembered we kept a key under the mat. I reached for the key under the mat but realized the door was open." mom, dad, where are you? It's me Ash, I'm alive." I walked in and saw my parents laying on the floor. " Ash.." the dad said in a low voice. " DAD" I said while I broke down in tears. " Thank god you're alive I was worried since you were at school. I know you're scared ". Says the dad. " Of course I'm scared theirs dead bodies on the floor including moms and you're on the floor talking like you're saying goodbye."I said sobbing not knowing what was coming next. I looked at the pool of blood on the floor

" honey There's something I need you to do for me, I want you to live, that's my dying wish." He said as he was giving up, with an expression on his face knowing he was going to die. "Dad, what are you saying? And what happened to you and mom?" I said, trying to hold back more tears. "We thought it was you, at the door so your mother opened it and they killed her and I killed them. I'm sorry I had to kill her." He said. " So you let her bite you dad? What about me did you ever consider the fact you had a daughter to take care of." I looked down, bursting into tears. I couldn't do anything to save his life. I hated myself at that moment. This moment proved I was weak, powerless. All I could do was watch him die. Thoughts cloud my mind. What if I was here earlier? What if I could've prevented this? I was alone and maybe I deserve to be alone. As he reached his final moment I made him a promise to survive not just for him. But for mom, Fiona, and Wyatt and everyone i care about.
