Island of the Dead

2

Emily's and Blair's screams attracted a horde of zombies. The undead came out from the shadows and took the group of survivors by surprise. All of the survivors fired their weapons at the horde of the undead. Cody shot bolt after bolt from his crossbow, until he was out of ammo. "Dang it!" he said, throwing his crossbow to the side. He pulled out his machete and started to cut the zombies down. Cody got overwhelmed by zombies, and the undead pushed him onto his back. "Cody!" Lindsey said loudly, aiming her pistols at the zombies surrounding him. But she was too late to save him. While she was distracted, four zombies ambushed her, sinking their teeth into her skin. Just like Cody, the undead overpowered her.

Suddenly, a zombie appeared behind Dylan, and grabbed him by the shoulders. It yanked him back, and dug its rotten teeth into his throat. He let out a gasp, as he felt his blood run down the side of his neck. Peter came up behind the zombie, grabbed it by the shoulders, and yanked it off Dylan. The zombie fell to the ground, landing on its back. Peter walked over to the zombie, and grabbed his machete. With a quick movement of his hand, he sliced the head clean off of the zombie's body. He turned around and walked over to Dylan. "Are you okay?" Peter asked him, who was pressing his right hand against the side of the neck.

"Yeah I'm okay." Dylan told him. Connor walked over to him and he looked him right in the eyes. His eyes were getting redder and redder. "He's going to turn." Connor said, his right hand on his hatchet. Suddenly, Dylan sprang forward, grabbing Connor by the shoulders and knocking him down to the ground. His hatchet slid across the ground and stopped in front of Peter. He held Dylan at arm's length, Dylan snapping his teeth inches away from Connor's face.

Connor was squirming underneath Dylan, trying to dodge his face. Rosina took the mail-delivery bag off of her right shoulder then she came up from behind Dylan, grabbed him by the shoulders, and yanked him off of Connor. Dylan landed on the ground, facing toward the other survivors and Shadow. Shadow started to whimper at the sight of him. He got up on his feet and launched himself at Shadow. "No, Shadow!" Rosina yelled as she helped Connor up onto his feet. Dylan was in mid-air when something struck him in the side of the head. He landed on the ground with a loud thump. Rosina ran over to Shadow, with Connor running behind her. She bent over and picked up Shadow.

He bent over and picked up his hatchet then he walked over to Dylan. Dylan was getting up onto his feet when Connor came up from behind him and pushed him back down to the ground. He was faced-down on the ground, blood was oozing out from the side of his neck where the zombie bit him. Connor raised his right hand into the air and he kept it there, waiting for Dylan to try and get back up again.

Slowly, he started to get back up on his feet then Connor threw his hand down, striking Dylan in the side of the head with the hatchet. Connor was trying to get his hatchet out of the side of Dylan's head but it was stuck. He tried pulling the hatchet out of his head but it was still stuck so he pulled harder and harder until the hatchet finally came loose. Connor fell back and landed on his back on the ground. Frank went over to him and got him up on his feet.

Frank and Connor both looked at Dylan's dead, lifeless body, blood was gushing out of his neck. Both of the boys walked over to the other survivors. The remaining thirty-two teenagers walked down the hall, away from Dylan's dead body which quickly rottened. They were tired and Peter saw that it was getting dark outside so they decided that they would get some sleep. Sean, Brian, Susie, Bruce, and Casper all stayed awake while the other twenty-seven teenagers fell asleep.
