I am in a dark room with Connor alone , he is not awake . There is blood everywhere I try to get up shit my hand, I have been bitten. My hand is almost grey and has purple veins through it.
"Connor get out of here I have been bitten. ... ... ... Connor ?!" He wails an unbearable moan like death, pain, distance ,suffering ,crying ,laughing distance, and knowingness. Then he runs at me , and bites my neck .
I feel burning throughout my veins . "Ahhh! " I scream . "Connor , I know you don't realize this but I love you !" He bites me again and starts biting my face . My flesh is being ripped apart blood is rushing down my forehead and into my eyes . My eyes turn black.
"Are you ok? "I hear and I sit up quickly in my bed. "Connor ! Are you alive ?! Am I alive?!" I scream . "your ok I'm here to protect you." Connor kisses my forehead . "It's all going to be fine"
"But you were a zombie and you bit me and ..." I trail off "It wasn't real... " I say .
As we are eating breakfast I am still shocked mentally .
"I think we need to go somewhere , just to see what is out there. I think it is best we know . We can bring my hummer in the woods after we get back . The only drawback is that it is out in the meadow . " Connor says.
"Wait wait wait . We are not making Kate go out there after what happened this morning, look at her , her thoughts are scattered . You won't go out there will you Kate ? ............. Kate?!" Genie startles me.
I jump in my seat. "what?! If it is about zombies I do not want to hear it ." Genie sits back in her seat , she thinks she's won, but I can tell Connor has a comeback. You can see it in his eyes , his beautiful eyes.
"Well than I will have you go with me Genie or I will go alone , if that's what you want . "
"I will not ... " I cut Genie off . " I will go with you Connor ." I say it as if I was in panic . He laughs . "Ok let's go get my car , Katie ."
"My name is Kate " I reply sharper than intended . "Sorry" I mutter ,
After we are suited up we run outside , there are no zombies , yet. We don't talk the whole way out of the woods , mostly to prevent zombies from coming. I can now see a clearing in the woods.
As we get closer I can see zombies out there. Ten or twelve are standing there eating something . I motion for Connor to climb up the tree with me so we can snipe them. Once we are up there I aim and fire rapidly soon all the zombies are on the ground .
"Let's move " Connor whispers in my ear. We are running because sound triggers zombies . They are surrounding the premises of the distance. We get in the car and the zombies are everywhere .
"We can take them . This hummer will run right over them." Connor is overly confident . We plow through them and go through the woods . Once we reach the compound Genie runs and hops in the back seat of the hummer .
"Wow Genie you look good with a gun." We all laugh. "Lets get this party started ." Connor says and steps on the gas pedal . We plow through another heard of zombies.
We ride on the dirt roads for about two hours and then there is a paved road. Along the side are the changing, they are not completely human nor zombie , they are in between .
I hear cries of pain and suffering , I see the seizures and "exorcisms" , I smell the death , and I taste the decaying in the air. This is real, this is not a dream. How I wish it was but it is reality, cold and harsh.
"HEELLPP" one of the changing moans and throws herself against the car. We drive over her and I hear the crunches of her bones.
Now that we have made it to NYC, we see a lot more zombies roaming the streets. They are everywhere , in and on top of buildings and in cars. We drive farther into the city and most of the zombies are staring in our direction , some are chasing us.
"Wonder if they've got this problem out West?" Genie wonders. "they have a lot of compounds out there and fenced communities , so not as bad." Connor has done his research . "I know there is one in Colorado . " I say, joining the conversation .
After we get to the heart of the city we realize just how bad this really is . A woman runs down the street screaming as zombies chase after her . "help meh!!" She screams . A zombie throws itself at her and starts to rip her arm off , more zombies come. When they are done , she was just a pile of bones and blood.
