Chapter 1. Outbreak pt2

I fling the soaking cloth into the sink and turn on he tap, I stick my hands under and it's still a bit cold but oh well it'll warm up soon.
I wonder what made Kaitlyn wake up at this time anyway? She's never had nightmares as well so I really have no idea what woke her. This really has me stumped as I have no possible idea how sh........
"Aww oh fuck, shit that's hot!" I pull my hand from the scorching water and fling it under the wet cloth I moped the juice up with.
Fuck me I must have gotten lost in my thoughts I forgot about the water running! Damn that's gonna blister, I hear pitter patter of feet from upstairs then a soft voice,
"Are you ok daddy? Did the monsters get you?"
I chuckle back " No it's ok I'm fine darling just go back to bed I will tuck you in just give me a second and I will be up"
I hear her going back to her room and laying in bed, I love how close we are right now, with her mother away on a business trip it's just been me and her, time for bonding she said, hmmm maybe she is right.

I head up the stairs to finally tuck her in, she'll never get up in the morning I can garintee it.
"What took you so long daddy?" She asks as I walk in and set down next to her,
"Oh sorry, just cleaning up the mess some little monster made down the stairs"
She giggles, I love it when I make her laugh, it makes me feel so proud to be a dad making my child happy, Kaitlyn reaches over and grabs a book and shoves it in my face,
"Ooooh Daddy can you read me a bedtime story? Please please please please pleeeeeeaaaassseeee........" I cut off her train of please's with a raised eyebrow,
"A bed time story? At quarter to four in the morning? You've got to be having a giraffe!" She giggles some more and shoves it in my face even more.
"Ok, ok ok I'll read you a quick story" I sigh, I take the book out of my cheek bone and open it up to page one,
"Right here we go, once apon a time, there was a little girl who was so beautiful she made all the stuffed teddies in the kingdom bow down to her, and all the barbie dolls bow down too, but one night she was in her bed room brushing her beautiful hair," I begin to raise my voice a little higher by each word,
"And a old grumpy troll came in! And he picked her up, put her in her bed and she went to sleep because she had lots of things to do tomorrow, the end!"
Kaitlyn looks at me In Disapproval to my story but gets that the story was all she was going to get out of me tonight so she perks herself down and pulls the covers over herself, I get up off the floor and head for the door, I turn back and lean over the door and whisper,
"Goodnight Kaitlyn, I love you." And retract my head round the door and head for my bedroom.

Crazy night huh?! Oh well let's just get some sleep and hope I don't look like a zombie tomorrow at work, I slide open the door to my bedroom and start taking off my dressing gown when I feel a soft but cold breeze on my shoulder and face, I look over and the window is open, what the..?
I head over to the window and there's something on the windowsill, I pull myself closer to it and see its a handprint, a bloody hand print.
What the hell? Why is there blood on my windowsill? It's not even dry it's still.....wet and...warm, I take a look up and gaze out the window to look to see of anyone had injured them selfs and tried to enter the house for help them I realise I'm on the second floor, there no way anyone could climb up that high AND have the strength to lift the up the window.
My eye catches on something moving over in the corner of the yard, it looks like a man, two men but one of them is lying down and the other on top of him, what's the hell is happening? I lift my window a little higher and shout,
"Hey You! What are you doing to him over there?" It looks like the man Is tugging and pulling at him, but as soon as he hears me he stops and his head slowly rotates round and I see a pair red blood shocked eyes looking at me, inhuman eyes, the rest of his head turns and I see blood is pouring from him mouth and his skin is stained a light red from the blood that is smother literally all over him face.
"Holy shit what the fuck is that?" Did I just say that out loud? The man, if you can even call it that, seems to react to my voice and he stands up and begins shrieking and moving towards me with a limp, I tumble back away from the window in shock, what the fuck is that thing? Why was it eating that man!? What the fuck is happening!!??.

I'm in shock as to what I just saw, I don't know what it is but it doesn't look human and it seems to enjoy human flesh so I'm just going to presume it's a animal of some kind. My mind is racing due to what I've saw and my eyes catches something, the blood from the windowsill..it's been dragged down across the wall and onto the floor, there's a whole trail of blood and it leads right to my closet which at no surprise, is wide open.
I shuffle forward towards the door and try to be as quite as possible, my movement is all stiff as I am absolutely terrified right now, my muscles are tensing and all my blood is pumping at one hundred miles an hour, I reach for the handle and slide the door slowly apart, oh no, my arm it's tensing up, oh shit no...no!!
The muscles in my arm are under so much stress they literally spasm and I knock over a lamp which hits the ground with a silence piercing smash.
I stop, I'm not moving a muscle I'm too scared right now to move at all, my eyes at stuck to the closet, hoping, praying that nothing is in there, just as I think this I see a pair of red, blood shocked eyes starring right at me, and the eyes let out a snarl, and the eyes become a body, and the body is my worst nightmare.
