The Outbreak

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I ran to Johnny's room. He wasn't anywhere insight. Next, I ran to me parents room. Not there either. I ran downstairs. I heard him scream again. Yes, it was coming from the living room. Mom and dad were both surrounding Johnny.

"Mom? Dad? What's going on?" I said. They both turned around. They looked like if they had just been in a car accident. Mom's hair was all messed up, with a cut in her head. Her eyes were a white color with a hint of dark blue around the iris. Her cheek seemed to be torn of with flesh sticking out of it. I could see her cheekbone.

Dad was worse. One whole side of his face had not skin in it, living all the flesh noticeable. His eyes were the same like my moms. He had his work suit on, but it was torn from the right hand where I noticed a bite mark. Wait, a bite mark? Next thing I saw was anger in their eyes. They started charging towards me. In instinct, I grabbed a lamp and hit my mom. I dogged my dad and grabbed a flower vase. He turned around, and again started charging towards me. I smashed the vase in his face. It penetrated through his face. He fell to the floor.

My heart was pounding so fast that it felt like if it was going to pop out of my chest. I looked at both of them. The thought of what I had just done started to seep in. I had just killed my parents. I felt a flash of regret ness and sadness rush through my body. My knees started to shake against my body. Then I remembered about Johnny. I turned around to see how he was. He had a mixture of horror and amazement in his face.

"Are you okay?" he nodded yes. I grabbed the house phone from its port. I dialed 9-11. the line was busy. How could the line be busy, it's the police? I started to hear something that sounded like a moan and a growl at the same time.

"C'mon lets go!" I commanded. We ran up to my room and locked my door. I got my backpack out and started to stuff clothes into it. I grabbed some stuff that didn't fit me anymore and that would probably fit Johnny. I grabbed my car keys and cell phone. Good thing it was fully charged. I heard something crack through the wooden door. A hand was sticking out of it. Then another one broke in through. Finally my moms' head broke through it too. A jumped in fear.

"I never knew my mom was that strong?" Johnny said.

"Well, I never thought she would try to eat us and look at was she's doing now." I opened the window and through out the rope latter that I used to use when I would sneak out. "I knew it would come in handy one day" I mumbled. Johnny went down first. Then me.

We ran towards the front of the house where my car was. As soon as I stepped into the front yard, we saw what was happening outside. It looked like if the world had gone mad over the night. Smoke was filling up the air, house were burning. I saw people running. 'But why?' Then I saw my answer. Other people like my mom and dad were chasing them. Then I saw two of them running towards my neighbor, Mr. Martinez.

"Mr. Martinez, watch out!" I warned him. But it was too late. As soon as he turned around, they attacked him. In a matter of second they had already shred him to pieces. Tearing of his hand and legs. Then they did something that scared me. They started to eat him.

"Zombies?" Really?" I thought out loud. I heard a loud moan coming from the front door. I turned around to see my mom looking at us. She had green-like saliva running down her mouth. She sprinted towards us.

"Get in the car!" I shouted as I started running towards my car.

Good thing I never locked my door, 'cus it would be a bitch to open it. I opened the door and put in the key into the ignition. Johnny quickly locked the doors. My mom, well she wasn't my mom anymore she was a "thing" now, came running toward the house. She started pounding on my window.

"C'mon! Hurry up!" Johnny said. I started to back up when my mom smashed through the window. I pushed her of and drove off the drive way. I drove fast past all the chaos on my street. I could hear scream from the neighborhood. It was agonizing.

"Umm... Jake?" Johnny caught my attention.

"Yeah?"

"Will I turn into one of them?"

"Why you say that?" He revealed a bite in his hand.

"Umm..." I started to think. If you get a bite from a zombie, or so I think they are, will you turn into a zombie? "No. That's just Hollywood bullshit."

"Ooh... okay then." He said. We rode for a couple of minutes more when Johnny shouted out.

"Jake! Look out!" a truck had rammed us, making my car roll side ways into stop. The next time I woke up, someone was helping me get out of the car. I got out slowly and painfully. I touched my aching head. When I saw my hand it was full with blood. My vision started to focus to what just had happened. My car was completely flipped over. Then, I saw the passenger side was completely totaled. I started to run toward Johnny, but the guy that had helped me before, stopped me.

"He didn't make it." He said, apologetically.

"What?" I said startled "What are you talking 'bout?"

"I'm sorry, but your brother is dead."

"No. No he's not. I started running towards Johnny. Johnny was still in his seatbelt. His face was bleeding from his forehead. Some kind of pipe had struck him in his chest. I started to cry.

"Johnny? Johnny wake up. Please wake up, Johnny. C'mon. Wake up!" I pleaded. Then I heard him say something.

"I'm sorry" then he started to growl. He started to spill the green- saliva that I had seen my mom spill out. He tried to bite me and I jumped back. He tried to get out of the seatbelt, but failed.

"Stand back" another guy said. Then he shot him in the head.

"No! Why'd you do that?! Johnny!"

"Sorry kid but he was one of them. Get over it."

"Luke! Give the kid a break, he just lost his brother!" said the guy who helped me out earlier.

"Oh Please, Joe, everyone lost somebody." Said Luke "And let's get on the truck before more of them come."

They started walking to the massive truck that, I guess, hit us. The truck was military style and big, and green with a camo pattern. I struggled to get into it but atlas I got init. I sat in the back seat and peered through the back window. I felt bad just leaving Johnny there, but what could I do?

"Bye Johnny" I said, but to low for Luke or Joe to hear.
