I woke up to loud sirens and red / blue flashing lights piercing through our windows. I immediately thought of uncle Shane maybe he just used his sirens to get him here faster he did that a lot. But I as soon as I look at the tv I knew it was something much more. It was a live broadcast the reporter looked scared tears were running down her face as she kept repeating that people have turned rapid and are attacking each other . Then it suddenly turns off I turn round to look at my mom who puts the remote down .
"Mom what's going on ?" I say my voice groggy after just waking up . She hesitates before replying " I don't know exactly sweetie but j-just I need you to wake your brother and help him pack his stuff , Tommy has already started on yours and his" . I shake my head in confusion "pack ? We're leaving ?" Shit this thing must be really bad . " Uncle Shane is on his way then we are going" .
"What about dad ? " I snap out , instantly worried at the realisation that he is unconscious and can't defend himself against whatever this is . Mom turns looks down breaking eye contact with me " Shane is stopping there first to get him , don't worry ok just go pack . Everything will be fine " she says but she seems to be trying to convince herself more than me . I give her a hesitant nod and walk up the stairs . What the fuck is going on .

We all stand by the door with our suitcases I hug carl tight to my body as he asks me a thousand questions I wish I could answer but I am as clueless as him . Tommy stands in the corner trying to get through to his family in Virginia but no one is picking up , he comes back over and I give him a hug to reassure him that everything is fine and this will probably blow over soon . I hear a car pull up and I sprint out the door ignoring the calls of my mom telling me to wait , I just need to see my dad to make sure he is safe and sound with Shane or at the hospital. Uncle Shane steps out his car a distant look in his eye . I give him a tight hug , glad to see he is ok . As he lets go I see tears build up in his eyes and my heart drops . " I'm sorry " he whispers , " where's dad ? " I say in desperation. Shane looks behind me at mom and Carl then back to me and shakes his head before speaking . " he's dead , I tried to get him but the hospital was overrun with those thing and soldiers killing everyone in sight "
As soon as the first two words leave his mouth I let out a cry as I freeze I hear my mom questioning Shane and carls sickening cries before they are drowned out by my own as I fall onto my knees my body giving up on me . I feel Tommy's arms around me but his voice is a blur as the realisation that my dad is gone not just temporarily anymore but permanently gone hits me . He's Dead .
