I'm sitting in my vacation home by the seaside, my mother and brother have been out for quite a while so I'm stuck with my twin sister, god I hate that bitch, everyone does. I'm sitting by the fireplace, it's been dark for quite a while now and this place has no fucking heating, lucky my mom started the fireplace before she decided to leave, she's been out for like an hour now, I tried texting her but she's not answering, maybe she's just busy shopping..but why shop at such a late hour? I sit down on the couch by the fireplace, I text my friend oliwia, the last text she sent we was some what, desperate? She said to get to her house and I never heard from her again...weird

Some more time has passed and I'm getting slightly worried,  that is until I hear a bang on the door..bang..bang..bang.. and it just goes on and on, it's not even like it's desperate bangs, they're slow with breaks, is someone trying to annoy us? Lately a lot of families with annoying kids has been renting out houses in the area.

I get up from the couch and peep over the corner at the door.

"Can you open the door? I'm busy dressing up"

I lie to my sibling, I don't feel like opening the door, she replies with a yes from the kitchen and I can hear her footsteps as she makes her way to the door, she peeps out the peephole.

"There's no one here.."

She says.

"Just open the door and check, maybe this is some kind of joke, see if someone's hiding behind the bushes"

I say as she opens the door fully and steps out, the second thing I hear is a loud ass scream.

"Ugh did she see a spider again?"

I say to myself as I get back up from the couch to check, she's not by the door, strange.. I make my way to the door, I put on my slippers, coat and hat, it was pretty cold out, I stuff my phone in my pocked and step out the house, I step on something disgusting, I felt it squish under the pressure of my feet so I go back inside to turn on the porch light and as I look back out I notice a trail of blood.. weird,is this another trick my sister is playing on me? She pulled something similar to this last Halloween.. October is still a couple months away.

I close the door behind me, wouldn't want any wild animal wondering in, or worse, a person.

"You out here!?"

I shout out after her as I look 9n the direction of the blood trail, no answer so I do the only thing was left, follow the blood. I pick up a sturdy stick from the ground just in case, I slowly sneak around the house where the blood leads, we don't have lights behind the house so I pull out my pohone and turn on the flash, I proceed to walk..and there she was, on the floor, ripped to pieces, before I could react I hear something jump out of the bushes, another person but he was covered in blood, my sisters blood perhaps?whatever it was, it was acting like a feral animal, as if it got rabies. I shut my eyes tightly as I hold the stick firmly and swing it as hard as I could at the person,  he fell to the ground... I wasn't sure if I was more happy that he's still breathing or not, someone like him doesn't deserve to live, especially since he fucking ate my sister.

I wanted to run back home, lock the door and call my mum but before I could do that I hear someone running  pretty quickly.  I flash my light in the direction of the footsteps,  another one? Just what was going on here? I hold the stick before me, the man.. if that's what I can even call him impaled himself on the stick, right through his eye and out the back of his head, I gasp in shock.. is he dead? I watch him drop as I notice the other guy I hit earlier started moving, I quickly make my way back to the house.

"I can't stay here"

I say to myself as I lock the door behind me, did oliwia perhaps know what was going on? Is that why she sent me that weird text? Would she still be home...

I call my mom, no answer,  I call my brother, same thing, ah fuck them it's not like I loved them anyway, both annoying and it's not like my mom cared about me, I take my mom's car keys and make a run for her car, not thinking twice about locking the house back up, all I  did was tell my mom though text that I'd be at oliwias, it's about a 2 hour drive, I should be able to make it there, the only problem being is getting caught by police, I am just 16 after all, and can't legally take driving lessons until im 17.

I start up the car, the tank still half full.

"Should last me the drive"

I say to myself, you may be wondering how I even know how to drive in the first place, well let's just say I took road and traffic, driving on a moped is way different than driving in an actual car, but I know enough about it from text books to figure it out myself.

I drive the car on to the road.. empty.. its like this place turned in to a ghost town, usually its lively 24/7, people always wondering the streets, but now? It's like a scene pulled right out of a horror movie, especially with what happened earlier.

I drive, the front light of my car illuminating the empty road in front, I had some 4G left in my phone so I use the GPS on Google maps, 1 hour and 50 minutes...but as I keep my eyes on my phone which was placed on my lap suddenly something crashed in to the car.

I wasn't going fast so what could it possibly be? As I stop the car I look out the windows to check out if I actually hit a person but as I'm about to start driving again some woman jumps from underneath the car and starts banging on my window.

"Help please! You've gotta let me in! People here went cr-!"

But her words got cut off as another of of those creatures jumped her, her screams echoed in the empty street only attracting more of them, is this some sort of zombie apocalypse?

I panic, more of them were coming, spilling from out of the buildings, if I didn't go now they would surely tear down the car, gulping down the guilt of leaving technically my whole family behind I step down on the gas and drive away as quickly as possible, whatever it took to get to oliwia's.
