Chapter One Diary entry one

Dear diary, it all happened too fast, and I didn't know what to do. Mom and Dad are gone. I need to figure out where to go or who to trust, all I know is I must protect Brodey

Even if it costs a life.
~Zilla out 

Someone ran at the car and slammed into the side. "What the heck was that!" Mom never screams like that unless she is truly scared... "Dad, what is going on? Why did that man do that?" Brodey asked. He was scared, I squeezed his hand for reassurance. " I don't know, I'm just as confused as you are." you could see in his eyes he was terrified but had to keep a calm manner not to scare us. " Ok grab whatever you can without falling behind and run." he started to shove us out of the car. I got out and grabbed my suitcase. I grabbed my diary, my books, and anything else that would help me defend myself and also keep me alive. "Honey I'm scared, what is going on".
As Mom said one of those things ran at her. Dad pushed whatever it was away, and we kept running. "Dad, they have bite marks on their bodies, and they are running around like zombies. Do you think they are some kinds of risen-from-the-dead thing?" I wanted to say that they might be zombies but to my dad, those things were just myths, pure fiction, fake.
"Honey...honey" Mom's voice sounded sad and scared, it worried me. "Mom, what's wrong?" I knew my voice was barely audible but tried to talk without crying. " Sweety what's wrong, why are you shaking?" Dad was concerned. "One of those things bit me, what do I do?" Mom lifted her arm and there it was, a reddish, purple, black bite mark on her lower shoulder.
When she looked back at Dad from her shoulder, her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the floor. Before she could hit the floor Dad caught her. "Honey wake up, baby wake up, please. WAKE UP!!" Dad was yelling, I tried to calm him down by telling him to be quiet, but he wouldn't listen. Mom started to shake, almost like she was having a seizure. " Dad, what's happening to Mom? Why is she shaking!? Is she dead!?"
Brodey was crying at this point, making me more nervous than I already was with Dad being so mad. If I knew anything about The Walking Dead, it's that their hearing is heightened, and they get spooked by anything. So, Dad and Brodey being so loud was making me even more scared than my mother turning into one.
"Dad, we need to go, mom is turning to them, and it isn't good. Please, I know what to do. We need to go, NOW!!" with all of us talking, the zombies started to run towards us. One ran at me, but I grabbed my knife and stabbed it in the head. I knew that is where you need to hit them since the brain is where everything works. " Why do you have a knife? Why did you kill that man!?" Brodey was scared. And I didn't know what to do. Either I grab Brodey, run away from Mom and Dad, and leave Dad with Mom. Or I slap Dad out of it and run with all of them. But that is taking the risk of waiting longer, and the risk of Dad wanting to take Mom with us. She would be dead weight though and would drag us down. That is not what we need at the moment. We just need to run.
" Just go, I don't want a world without your mother, get to your grandparents' house. When you get there if they are there. Tell them we didn't make it, and that they need to take care of you now. If they aren't there or they turned. Run, find shelter or a group that is willing to take you." Dad was telling us what to do with one hand on my cheek and the other on Brodey's cheek. " If not Zilla, use your books... Find supplies, and survive. Your mother didn't get to say goodbye to I'm doing it for her and me. We love you both, with the whole universe. You guys are the moons to our planets. Now go, run, find shelter and supplies, and live for us. Live for your mother."
At this point, he was crying and Mom's zombified body was thrashing around in Dad's lap. She turned fully when he was talking to us. "But Dad you haven't been bitten and maybe we can save Mom. She can survive" Brodey was balling by now and it was bad. He was pulling attention to himself, and we needed to get out of here. Dad was bit by Mom by now. So, he would turn eventually too. " I will take care of him, Dad. With my life even if I have to die for him, I will sacrifice everything."
tears were spilling out of my eyes. I didn't want them to, but they just spilled out. I had to stay strong for Brodey to keep him safe. I told Brodey to say goodbye to Dad." I love you, Dad, and I always will. I will take good care of Brodey with my life." I was down on my knees now.
"I know you will, baby girl. You always have taken care of him. Now take him and run. Run as far as you can out of the city and to a vacant area. Stay safe and under cover, don't pull attention to yourself." his eyes started to turn blackish, and he told me to run before he turned" I love you Mom, and you to Dad." I said to our parents.
With that, we started to run before we fully ran away. I told Brodey to stay with me because we needed to go back to the car. " Why are we going back to the car? Dad told us to run to the fields, not back to the car" He was so scared, and I didn't want to scare him more, so I picked him up and ran to the car. " We need to get supplies to live until we find more things and shelter. If we want to survive, we need things." When I got to the car, I grabbed Mom's big bag and dumped it out. Then I put all the essentials in the bag and grabbed the bags we already brought with us. " Ok Brodey we need to run to the hills now, follow me, and do not let go of my hand, please."
As we ran up the hill we noticed another group of people, running down the hill. There were about 3 people. I could tell they were running to get into a store or something to get supplies. But as they ran, they all separated. And in the end, they all got bitten or tackled by those things. "They didn't survive that. Zilla, they didn't survive that. How are we supposed to survive in the middle of nowhere if they weren't even able to run past those things? We are going to die zilla!" he was yelling at this point, and I couldn't take it. "Brodey if you don't shut up now! We are going to become zombie food. Now let's start walking up the hill so we can get away from the city." I started to walk up the hill away from all the chaos of the city.
