Mercy For The Living Dead (Z Nation)

Zunami Part One

Season one Episode 8 Part One

Ellie was walking through the deserted streets of New York, the streets were quiet not a soul in sight. There was smoke coming from several cars that had crashed into each other or into walls, bins were knocked over, shopping bags all over the place. Windows were smashed in with glass all over the floor.

"Hello?!" Ellie shouted as she walked down the street "Is anyone there?!". Where is everybody? She thought to herself, but was startled from her thoughts when she heard a bang behind her.

Spinning around on the spot to look behind her she saw the back of a man who was crouched over the bin like he had tripped over it.

"Hello?" she asked the man, quietly this time. She could sense something was wrong. "Are you alright?" She asked but all she got out of the man was a grunt so she walked slowly towards him "Do you need any help?"

Ellie stopped right behind the man and placed a hand on his back which got a response out of him. She heard the man let out a snarl startling her so she backed away and the man slowly raised to his feet spinning around to face her. And what she saw made her heart stop, the man had blood all over his mouth, his eyes dead. He also had a chunk of flesh taken out of his cheek.

"Oh my god" she gasped hand going to her mouth backing even more away from the man but he followed her until suddenly he snarled and charged at her. Ellie let out a scream and threw her arms over her face and the world went blank.

"Ellie! Ellie?!" She could hear a distorted voice calling her name "Ellie!?" She heard the voice again but she couldn't  identify the voice. "Ellie!" She heard again and she could feel someone shaking her and when her vision cleared she could see the concerned faces of her friends Lilly and Alyssa.

"Ellie we have to go" Alyssa said hurriedly her eyes glancing anxiously behind her and then back to look at Ellie. "Come on" she said pulling her forward.

"Wha-?" Ellie went to ask but was interrupted by a scream and a load of growls turning her head in the direction of the noise Ellie could see hundreds of people charging towards them. But then she realised they couldn't be people, she could see flesh missing from different parts of their bodies and they looked dead.

She let out a gasp when one of them got close to a person and charged at him biting him and he let out of wail of pain with blood squirting everywhere, some of the other things joined in too sending the man to the ground as they ate him alive.

"Ellie come on" Lilly said and both her and Alyssa dragged her away and they ran in the opposite direction. She realised now they were in a different part of the city there was people running in all directions and so were these creatures, zombies she realised, charging at anyone who got to close. The air was filled with painful cries and screams as everyone feared for their life.

"What's happening?!" Ellie shouted as they were running

"Don't know just keep running" Alyssa shouted back as they rounded a corner

"Where did they come from?"

"Ellie just keep running we need to get out of the ci-" Lilly was saying but they all skidded to a stop when a zombie stepped out in front of them.

Letting out a gasp they all slowly backed away when they heard another growl behind them and suddenly Lilly let out a scream as the zombie bit her in the neck taking out a chunk of it and blood squirted out of her neck.

"Lilly!" Ellie shouted as she dropped to the floor and the zombie followed feeding on her flesh. Knowing there was nothing they could do Ellie reached back to grab Alyssa's hand to try and pull her away from the zombie when she felt a searing pain in her wrist and looking behind her she saw a zombie attached to her wrist while another one went for Alyssa.
