Summary: Phil, Dan and his girlfriend try to survive a virus (zombie) outbreak.

Phil

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

My heart was beating wildly in my chest and my blood was pumping fiercely through my veins. My breathing was ragged and I could feel the stitch forming in my side. I turned round for a split second to see them. My eyes widened and I turned back when I saw they were gaining.

"THERE!" Alys exclaimed, pointing to a railway line. She and Dan picked up the pace. Dan was somehow the fastest out of the three of us and dragged Alys, his girlfriend, behind him as we sped towards the track. Even under the circumstances, I felt a stroke of jealousy. I had liked Dan for ages - way before the apocalypse started and seeing him happy with someone else always killed me inside a little bit each time but I stayed because he's my best friend too.

I suppressed my feelings and tried to keep up although my legs were killing me and my side was aching. Then I heard it - a ding in the distance. I looked towards the sound and my eyes widened when I saw a fully functioning train heading in the direction of the track we were approaching.

Fear hit me when I realised we'd need to make it across before the train arrived or the zombie's would catch up and attack us. "DAN!" I shouted.

"WHAT?" He called back in frustration as he kept a steady pace.

"THE TRAIN!" I warned and he frowned before turning and looking further down the track. His eyes widened and he sped up even more whilst I tried to speed up as well.

"HURRY!" Dan yelled desperately, approaching the track. The train was fast approaching.

"We're not going to make it!" I thought as the train was only seconds away. Desperately, I tried to catch up but my breath hitched in fear when I saw Dan and Alys leap over the track and to the other side. I went to follow them but suddenly my vision was blocked.

I skidded to a halt as the train was now passing in front of me. I breathed heavily and stared at the passing carriages in disbelief. "I didn't make it." I thought in terror and turned back to see the corpses gaining on me.

"PHIL!" I heard someone shriek over the noise of the train.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

Dan

I gripped Alys's hand tight as we leaped over the track. Relief spread through me once our feet hit the ground. I grinned and let out a happy breath and turned round. What I saw next made my blood run cold. In the split second I turned around I saw the terrified look on his face then suddenly I couldn't see him any more.

I felt panic rise in me when my sight of Phil was blocked by train carriages. He hadn't made it. "PHIL!" I screamed hysterically as tears leaked and fell down my cheeks. My best friend ...

"PHIL!" I screamed again, seeing him through the cracks of individual carriages as the zombies approached him.

"Dan! There's nothing we can do, we need to go!" Alys begged even though tears were also streaming down her cheeks.

"I CAN'T LEAVE PHIL!" I cried and stared at the train hopelessly, they would get him and I could do nothing.

I looked through the next crack and my heart skipped a beat. He wasn't there and the corpses were groaning, banging and scratching at the train. I let out a choked sob, I couldn't see him any more - they must have got him. I felt like breaking down and curling into a ball. My best friend - the one who picked me up when I felt down and the first one who made me feel special was gone.
