"Mom" I called.

She slowly turned her head Like she had been possessed by something. I stood motionless at the sight of her. Her eyes were bloody red and almost popped out of their sockets. Her round face had scars and bit on them, her flesh was torn out of her body too while the remaining ones spilled blood.

This can't be my mom.  I slowly retreated towards the door, but something caught my leg and I tripped over. The other human spun his head around and sniffed in the hair like a dog. Then like a flash dashes towards me. Mom held him down and threw him across the room onto the wall.

He growled, he stood back up and now he advanced at my mom. Mom was somehow quicker than him.  she dodged his attack, caught him from his side, and used her long mysterious nail to slash him in his rib threw him to the ground, and fest on him, drinking his blood like it was some south of soda.

How did she do that?

Mom. 

When she finished feasting on her prey. she turned to me,  I drew back.

"No, please no" I begged. 

"It's okay Jay" I heard her voice as she stood over me. "It's okay it is still your mom's, kid" 

Her voice was shaky and it was like she was going to cry.

"Mom?" 

She Nodded. I hugged her without even thinking of her blood-stained body and her torn flesh, but I pulled back immediately.

"Jay" she called. "It's dangerous in here" 

The word. " Why ?" came out.

" It's an outbreak" she said. " now you have to take care of your younger brother and sister, you are the only one they have left"

" no Mom, what about you,  you know I sulk at that.." 

" then you must learn to babysit Jay, it's high time son"From outside the building, I could hear a loud wail of scream and cry going on.

" They are finally here," Mom said and took my arm. " Jay please be safe, protect your siblings and yourself, the zombies are all over the city, go to the Big Bo house I am sure you will be safe there until he comes to find you" 

" he who? And what the hell are you saying? Zombie?"

She nodded. And put a needle in my palm. " Jay make sure to use this well" I didn't understand what she meant and what she was doing until I felt some deep pain in my arm that ran through my veins, mixed with my normal blood. I yelped.

Mom withdraws her teeth with a stain of my blood from my arm.

"Mom" I cried holding my arm as blood dripped from it. " I.."

"It's okay Jay, you will be safe like that, your rare blood type will keep you in control" 

Rare blood type? What does that mean? I thought.

"Use the needle from time to time and make sure to branch at home you would find more in my safe the code."2335" " 

"Mom why ?.."

" go Jayden before they get to Rose and Stephen and tell them I love them and Mama is gonna meet them when they are saved"

"Raar" a roar came up from behind me. I turned back and saw loads of zombies by the door.  Mom stood up and stood in front of me.

" remember Jay, I always love you and will till the end now hide behind me, and after I clear the road escape and never look back or you will be weak" With the last energy I had, I nodded. 

Mom charged at the army of zombies who retaliated but Mom was somehow much stronger and faster. She jumped in between them and started fighting them off.

How can she still act normal? When she has been bitten, she is different from them and stronger than they are. How?
" now jay" she called. I snapped out of my dream and ran through the zombies behind mom back as she fought them off. When I was sure I was out. Mom closed the door inside with her and the zombie as they all jumped on her for betrayal, all I could see was a smile on her face and her blood spilled over.

I stood there unable to decide what to do next. Save your little ones.

I have to save Rose and Stephen. I thought as I dashed through the door, finally I was standing in the playground. If I said playground then I was kidding. The once kid motor had turned into a blood spike color, flesh spilled everywhere people were screaming and wailing running for their lives and some where running with their kids.

" Roses" I yelled. " Stephen". I ran to where I had last seen them but there are not there.
Roses" I called again but I didn't hear a response as the scream of terror made it difficult to, a man zombie ran towards me and knocked me over, and we rolled on the ground. He got to his feet quickly than I had imagined just like my mom. Then the man zombie smiled like he knew what he was doing.
"Again" I sighed, the man ran towards me this time I wasn't expecting what I did, like lightning struck through my veins I dodged out of the way caught the man's hand just as quickly, lifted him in the air above my head and down again, and hit his head on a bench edge which split his skull. I dropped him quickly. How did I do that? I thought as my view became darker and the thirst for blood became closer to my tongue. It tasted different. I was also feeling weird.

"Brother" I heard the same tiny voice of Roses called. I snapped out of the trance and I felt normal again.

I turned and saw her under the bench I had just knocked the man over Stephen by her side looking at me with his puppy eyes." oh God," I said and went to meet them.

" you okay" I asked as I hugged them.

" yeah," Roses answered. Stephen nodded like he understands what we are saying.
" come on we have to  of here," I said as I carried Stephen on my arm and held Roses's hand  we came out of the bench.
" on the count of three we run outside the pack," I said still hoping that it was only the pack that was filled with zombies. " The outside is okay we may find help," I said.
     
     " one. Two .. three" I called as I ran with Stephen on my back and roses holding my hand for her dear life.

We ran outside the pack inside the city heart and what I saw baffled me. 

The whole street was filled with chaos and zombies as survivors ran to the shelter.

Now I think we are done for. Are we not?
