APOCALYPIC: Season 1

CHAPTER 4: Accident

ONE WEEK LATER

Emma sighs deeply. She relentlessly gets up, takes her pistol for protection and grabs her car keys and leaves the apartment to reach the nearest airport.

While driving, the only thing in her mind was meeting her parents again and begging them for forgiveness. As in these past days, she didn't dare to call her parents again, not after the yelling from her dad and her parents didn't call her back either. She was confused, whether her parents were mad or dead.

The thought of her parents' death scared her to hell and gave her goosebumps. She started driving with more speed.

She soon reached the airport, but it wasn't as she expected it to be. The sight scared her and broke her even further. Because what she saw was pure horror. As the airport she was dying to reach was destroyed and one of the planes crashed there, causing fire to take place. But it wasn't just the fire, it was the same rotten monsters everywhere. And they were eating people. But not only grown ups, it was kids, little helpless kids. She walked a little further.

"NO NO NO NO NO! It can't be true, it can't be! Mom! Dad!"

She screamed for her parents, yelling like a little kid. Yet luck wasn't on her side, not even for a second. Soon, she started believing that her parents were gone. It was...

Suddenly, she heard a loud crying sound. Of a little kid. For some reason, whether it was her PTSD or anything, she got up and started following the sound. After a little run, she saw the source of the sound. A little kid. No older than 10, screaming and brawling his eyes out, shouting for help.

"AAAAAHHHHHH HELP ME!!! PLEASE GOD!!!"

Emma heard this, and this reminded her of Jason. Of how he must have been when she left him, when he was facing death. So, Emma does what she didn't on that day. She takes her pistol out and starts shooting down the nearby corpses. And because of the sound of a gun shooting, the kid falls down in a foetal position, and covers his ears. Trembling. Emma kills the nearby monsters and rushes towards the kid. She quickly squats down in front of the kid and shakes him. She tries to see if he's hurt.

"Hey, kid? You okay? Are you hurt?"

But the kid didn't say anything. He didn't even look up. He just stayed there, lying on his stomach and covering his ears and keeping his eyes closed. Emma forcefully lifts the kid's head up. "Hey? Can you hear me? Hello?"

But before she could say anything any further, because of the gun shots, more monsters got attracted.

And with no other choice, she grabs the kid's hand firmly and starts pulling him with her and starts running away for an escape. But the kid starts crying again.

"NOOOOOO! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME? LEAVE ME ALONE! WHO ARE YOU? I WANT MY MOMMY! SOMEONE HELP!!!"

Emma keeps pulling the kid with her and starts running towards her car.

"SHUT UP, KID! I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU!"

But the kid was not ready to listen. He kept crying and bawling his eyes out.

"Waaaaaah someone help me! I'm being kidnapped! Police!"

At last, Emma reached her car. Emma yanked the door open and pushed the kid inside, closing the door behind them. The little kid was still crying and screaming for his parents, unable to comprehend what was going on. Emma slammed her fist down on the steering wheel and turned to the kid.

"Shut up and stay down, you hear me?" Emma growled, her voice sharp and angry.

"I'm trying to save you but you keep on crying! It's scary, I know but shut up! Or else those monsters will hear you and would kill us both. I don't know about you but I don't wanna die so, shut up! You understand me?!"
