100 Days in a zombie apocalypse

DAY 3

Vaida

It is now day 3 Vaida and Neon are planning how to escape.

Me and neon have been covering up every window we possibly could around the house, we used paper, bedsheets, anything that managed to cover every corner of the windows, now that we actually covered up the front door with whatever was left it's been awfully quiet, as if the second light couldn't enter the house the house became invisible for whatever was outside, Neon told me about the fact that one of those things were banging at her door, perhaps the man was alive, trying to get in for safety or he just knew someone was in the house and wanted to attack them too, whatever it was it's not like Neon would open the door for a complete stranger.

Yesterday when I made my way here, I saw something awful, it was one of my friends' moms, she was standing under a lamppost, I can't describe how I felt in that moment, if I could I would've checked if she's okay, but I couldn't, I had to get to Neon as quickly as I possibly could.

We spent all day yesterday gathering all our food and anything we could use as a weapon, after all we need to bring as much as we can to Oliwia, we need enough food to keep us alive for a while because we need a solid plan, from what we all know ow none of our parents came home that day, Oliwias parents and sister were away shopping as it was day time when it hit her area, my mom was out working a night shift while Neon's mom was out with some friends, including Milana's mom, none came back and none are answering our calls and texts, we're all hoping they're all alive and safe, but we wasted enough time crying yesterday, it's time to get serious and get the hell out of here.

"Right, we have 4 bottles of water, bread and some canned food, while we're here it's best if we eat whatever gets expired soon so that we don't waste anything and leave all the canned food for when we go to Oliwia"

"I think that's our best option Vaida, we have enough food for... let's say a week if we ration it and eat only when we're hungry"

I nod my head before filling up Neon's school PE bag with everything we managed to gather before placing it at the front door, we're planning to leave tomorrow, hopefully everything goes by the plan in the first place.

1. we take the PE bag full of canned food and make our way to my house, during nighttime of course, me and neon realized that the zombies don't attack you until they notice you, so staying in the shadows is our best option.

2. we gather as much canned food as we can and steal neon's mom's other car that was parked in front of her house, we won't have a problem with getting to the car, the bigger problem would be the fact that none of us know how to drive a car in the first place.

3. make our way to Oliwia's house where she will be waiting for us.

4. gather everyone else at her house and think of a plan to help us all survive.

We could probably plan step three a bit better, but oh well, as long as we get there, but my thoughts were interrupted by a loud scream outside, both me and Neon pull back the bed sheet that was covering the large window in the living room just a tiny bit to see what was going on, it was our older Neighbour, no one likes her, she technically traumatized kids, and is overall all a very unpleasant person to be around, so what was happening to her in that moment was karma, and let me tell you that karma bit her hard in the ass... no literally she was getting eaten alive, we quickly put back the bedsheet in a way so that it would cover up the window again, Neon made sure that there was no way someone from outside could see inside.

We both spent the next half an hour trying to build up the courage to finally leave, by the time we got everything ready it was already pretty late, the sun was starting to set so we were trying to mentally prepare ourselves for what was going to happen next, I felt like crying, if I could I would break down on the ground and never leave this place, I mean what is this is all a illusion and my mom is going to come back soon, I'd like to believe this is all fake but it felt so real, it just had to be real.

It's been 30 minutes, it's now beginning to get darker way quickly, time seems to fly by so quickly but at the same time this feels like I've been waiting for at least a week, this was all so complicated for me, I still want to believe that this is all a dream...but before I knew it, it was completely dark outside.

"Alright Neon, this is what we were getting ready for all day"

I said as I look out the front door window.

"it's clear outside, I can't see anyone out there, open the door on my 3"

Neon nods their head as they were clearly trying to prepare themselves, you never know what was waiting behind that door, knife in hand I count down.

"One"

"Two"

"Three!"

Neon opens the door... nothing, that's a relief, we both run to my house, I unlock the door front door, we both quickly get in, just this small distance felt so intense, I could hear my heart beating in my ears, I was just starting to relax before i noticed that my backyard door was open.

"Neon look... the door is open"

I whisper over to neon, last time I checked I locked the back door... didn't I? we both slowly start walking over to that door, there was a long hallway connecting the front and back door, out of nowhere our Neighbour that we saw get devoured jumped out of the room to our left, my first reaction was to swing my knife and that's what I did, slitting her throat before she could even attack us completely by accident, I gasp in shock, killing someone was the last thing I expected to do, Neon quickly runs over to the back door and locks it.

"Come on Vaida, we need to hurry we don't know if there aren't any more of them in here"

Neon said before digging through all the cupboards in my house, I shake my head to snap myself back into reality.

"you're right"

I say as I join Neon, grabbing whatever canned food, juice and water I could find, it wasn't long before we got everything we could find, my family isn't a fan of canned food so there wasn't much we could find, after that we made our way back to the front door, I look back one more time at the lady I just killed before leaving the house with neon, we quickly made our way to her mom's car, when neon pressed the button to open it up the car decided to make a loud noise.

"shit"

We quickly get in as zombies start to pile on top of it.

" Damn it Neon! didn't you know that it makes a round!?"

"I'm sorry! I completely forgot about it! the sound is supposed to be broken!"

"Whatever! just start the car!"

it was pure chaos, zombies piling on top of the car, Neon struggling to start the car, I'm starting to regret ever even leaving my house in the first place.
