Apocalypse

When it all began ~part 2~

~Bella's perspective~

I'd been waiting to go to my dad's work with him, but now that I was here, I realized it was actually pretty boring. Maybe I'd want to be a nurse like my mom.

"Dad, I'm a little bored. Isaac and I can't find anything fun to do."

"Sorry tater-tot, I can't help you much there. I'll be right back ok?" He says, getting up to use the restroom.

"Ok." I sigh, bored out of my mind.

But it's while he's gone it all happens. I hear someone screaming, telling everyone to evacuate. Isaac looks to me, confused.

"Im sure it's nothing, bubba." I try to assure him, but even I'm confused at what's going on.

Then we hear the screams. Blood curdling screams from downstairs ring out through the building. Now the panic sets in. People start running around, some hiding, others not sure what to do. I start understanding it's a little more severe than I thought, and I hide Isaac under the desk.

"Stay here." I say quietly and go to investigate what's going on.

Police are rushing in, trying to get people out. I watch as he's attacked, and pick up his gun, firing at whatever this thing is. The officer writhes in pain on the floor, snarling at me. I hesitate until he jumps at me, and I shoot him in the head. He twitches for a little bit before dying, and I stand there, shocked at my actions. I remember my dad, running to the bathroom to find him. Nothing. He must've gone with everyone else in the evacuation. I block the stairs with desks, chairs, anything I can find, before setting up a hiding place for me and Isaac. I hold my crying brother in my arms, and do my best to calm him down. This isn't a book or a movie, this is actually happening. The zombie apocalypse has begun.
