One evening , May 2028, it's summer break for two twin brothers, Nico or Nicolis and Leon, had packed up their gear to explore old abandoned buildings as they had done in their prevous free time. Upon their adventure, they found an old abandoned lab, "What's that?..." Nico asked, the slight fear he so desprately tried to hide slipped through his tone, "I don't know man... Let's go check it out!" Leon said with excitment as he climbed the fence, in shock Nico followed behind his brother with less egerness, "Wait! Hold on Leon, we don't know what's in here!" Nico shouted, trying to get the other's attention, with no response, Nico sighed and followed Leon inside.
As the brothers explored the inside of the lab, they were met with a gorey scene of decaying bodies and blood trails, "Woah!" Leon said with amazment, "Jesus christ..." Nico whined as he coveredhis nose "How can you deal with this smell?!" Nico shouted at his brother, with a simple shrug from the other Nico groaned and pulled out his flash light, as they split up and made their own way down two different corridoors. As Nico made his way down the right corridoor, he held his nose as he alluminated the body filled hall, gagging as he made his way through, but on Leon's side, he was peachy keen, he was loving the sights he saw, the dead bodies, the blood splatter, thinking it was all for a movie scene that was never cleaned up boy was he wrong.
"Nico! Come here!" Leon shouted as he stood infront of a metal door with the words 'DO NOT ENTER' in bolded letters, Nico came running around the corner, pepper spray in hand as he panted for breath, "Whoa calm down man, I'm not getting I just wanted you to see this shit." Leon spoke with a mocking laugh, "Fuck...You... Dickhead..." Nico panted out, as he wheezed for breath, Leon entered as Nico finally caught his breath, upon seeing, the human tube-inclosed experiments, Nico let out a high pitched screech, in which caused his brother to let out a loud laugh, "God you're such a pussy." Leon laughed, "Am not!" Nico retored, after a bit of back and forth between the brothers, the finally stopped arguing and looked around, they picked up a few files and a few tests tubes.
The sound of glass being stepped on was heard, "Yo, did you hear that?..." Nico said, worry evident in his voice, "Naw man, chill, this place has been rotting for years." Leon murmured,waving a dissmisive hand at his brother, "Dude someone's watching us..." Nico whimpered as he back up towards his brother, "Can we leave, please man?" Nico begged as he tugged on Leon's arm, "Fine you big pus-sy..." Leon's words dragged on as he made eye contact with ... something, he whisprered in his brother's ear, "Walk towards the exit, slowly." With a nod, Nico followed the other's instructions.
Sadly that didn't work and the two had to run, hearing a deafing screech come from behind them, more of those things woke up and began chasing them, they reached the exit and out into the sun covered grass, Nico and tripped over a rock, his glasses falling off his face as he hit the ground, thinking his life is over, he turned to look behind him, noticing that those things didn't like the sun, he made a mental note of that, he got back on his feet and over the fence
BACK AT HOME
Nico and Leon didn't speak a word of what happened at the lab, Nico making his mother's gift for tomorrow as Leon played his video games, the sun set along the horizon castin a beautiful blue, orange and pink glow on the sky above, realizing it was late and their father hadn't called them for dinner yet, curiosity peaked in Nico's brain, he tappped Leon's shoulder, "Dad hasn't called us for dinner yet and mom's car is here but she hasn't called us yet..." Nico whispered with worry, Leon, now slightly scared, grabbed his baseball as he was on the highschool baseball team, he slowly made his way down stairs.
Seeing the living room empty as well as the kitchen, he made his was to the garage, only to find his infected mom chewing the skin of his father's face as his body shook from the carnage, in shock he dropped the baseball bat, catching the attention of the infected mother, as the creature screeched its way towards the boy, he rushed to the kitched to grab the butcher knife, "Mom, this isn't funny! Stop!" The boy shouted, the creature stopped for a second before returning to its rampage when suddenly a knife poked from beneath its blouse, the creature dropped.
Behind it was Nico, his pajamas covered with blood, the frighted child was welding his father's hunting knife, "T-This is all your fault! I told you not to go into that lab!" Nico shouted, tears streaming down his face, Leon covered his mouth, "Shh, now's not the time, c'mon go pack your shit so we can leave, I'll do the food, go." Leon commanded, Nico, knowing it was for the best, did what he was told.
Packing a jacket, jeans, and some of his jewelry and some of his cd's and comics, he put socks and shoes on before making his way back down stairs as Leon just finished paking two suitcases full of food, he grabbed his dad's keys from his body, along with his dad's hand made dogtags and headed out the back door to the shed to grab his and Nico's rifles for when they went hunting.
Back inside, Nico cut his infected mother's head off, so she couldn't come back, just like in the movies, but this is real life, not the movies, he took off his mother's jewelry and whispered to her, "I'm sorry mom..." before he walked out the back door to find his brother, "Leon? Go back your stuff..." Nico whispered as he tapped his brother's shoulder, Leon ran inside and filled his old school bag full of ammo, his phone, and some of his brother's things that Nico would need.
"C'mon we need to wait out the night until morning... let's hide in dad's shed." Nodding in agreement, Nico followed behind him, he sat on his dad's work bench and tried his best to keep his tears intact, Leon was stoic, his face showing zero hints of emotions as he laid on the floor, waiting for the sun to peak through the cracks in the wood shed.
