My apocalypse

welcoming our new neighbors

Ethan's POV

Everyone looked at each other. Matthew's head was bleeding. Breanna opened the door and we all jumped out. I wasn't hurt but Ace was limping. I wrapped my arm around him and sat him down on a stump.

"Shit." Matthew looked so upset. I noticed a few zombies wandering towards us. I told Ace to stay here. I pulled my knife out and stabbed one in the head. Breanna kicked one of the zombies in leg and stabbed it quickly. Meghan picked up a stick and started beating the last zombies to death. We all looked at each other with a worried look on our faces.

"We need to move out now." Matthew spoke up. "If we move out now we'll get to this town before sunset." I looked down the road and searched for any zombies.

"He's right. Let's go." Ace sided with Matt. I walked over to him and helped him up. He smiled and kissed me on the cheek. We all walked down the road silently. The signs on the side of the road revealed that we were entering the town greenvale.

~~Time Skip~~

We could see a couple of shops down the road. I looked Ace who was exhausted. The group slowly walked towards the shops cautiously. "We can set up camp in one of the shops." Matthew broke the silence. We all nodded and split into two groups. Ace, Ben, Breanna, and I went into one of the buildings and Matthew, Sarah, and Meghan went into the other. I pulled out my knife and knocked on the door. We waited another minute before we went inside. I slowly opened the door and saw the most horrific thing ever. Dead bodies were lying on the ground with pools of blood around them. We all ran out of the shop. Ben was puking next to Breanna. She stepped away from him looking disgusted.

"You FUCKERS!!!!" We heard someone shout from the other shop followed by 3 gunshots. Without thinking I ran inside. Two guys were standing in front of a shelf shooting at my friends. I quickly ducked behind where Matthew was hiding. "You think you can just hide?! Aw hell no!" He continued firing at us. Ace ran inside and shot one of the men in the head. I took the opportunity and stood up. I grabbed Matthew's gun and shot the last man in the chest three times. I stood back and dropped the gun. It was for some reason earth shattering that I killed someone without hesitation.
