      As Kaleb and I continued to walk I noticed the smell of rotting flesh. Kaleb didn't seem to notice as we continued walking, but I had no doubt in my mind. The hairs on my neck began to raise as my scenes continued to get stronger.  When we got all the way down to the apartments the police were leaving.    

      "Great we were to late." Kaleb slightly lets go of my hand but before he was the time to break away I tighten my grip noticing something strange. And follows my gaze.

      "Did you see that?" I ask Kaleb as he looks at the body being put into an ambulance. The arm of the person under the sheet was hanging over the side of the sling. There arm was bloody. 

      "Looks like they got attacked by a dog or something." I stared carefully at the "dead" body I had just witnessed flinched. Then I heard something. A gurgling sound. 

        "Kaleb?" I look over my shoulder and see something running to the women across from me. "Run!" I push Kaleb ahead of me as his eyes widen and the women screams. turning around I see the body that was on the sling sit up and bite the neck of the women next to it.

          "Wait!" Kaleb stops and I run into him almost knocking him over.

        "What?" I ask half whisper yell.

       "What was that?" Kalebs eyes were full of curiosity. "Lets check it out!"

      "How bout no! By the looks of it those were zombies and I'm not letting either one of us die. Katrina would kill me if I left you now run!" I push Kaleb forward noticing the gurgling coming closer behind me.

       Kaleb and I burst into the house and slam the door. "Stop slamming the door!" Katrina yells at me and Kaleb as we continue panting while leaning on the wall.

      "What were you guys doing?" Kama asked us noticing out heavy breathing. Neither one of us could answer we were to out of breath. Eventually Katrina came into the room.

     "Are the police looking for you guys now?" Katrina managed to say with complete poker face. all me and Kaleb did was shake our heads. "Then I don't care."

     Kaleb and I looked at each other then back at the two girls "Zombies!" we both managed to spit out in unison.

    "Whatever." Katrina walks away while Kara looks at both me and Kaleb.

    "I don't believe you!" Kara spits at us.

    "Oh yeah? Go see for yourself." Kaleb opens the door and the gurgling gets louder. As I turn around I hear Kara scream and run down stairs. I turn around my eyes glowing a purple red. I reach for me belt knife and aim for the neck of the undead creature. and kick its chest it stumbles back outside. I close my eyes and slam the door.

     "You idiot" I whisper wiping the knife on my pant leg. not opening my eyes till I know they're normal. "I have to go home."

     "I'm not letting you go alone." I look into Kaleb's eyes seeing concern and fear.

     "I'll be fine. I'm sure these things wont be around for long. I'll see y'all soon!" Kara and Katrina walk back up the stairs looking terrified, I felt bad I didn't want to leave them to fight there own.  I'd be safer not having to hide my true form.

       Kara comes up and hugs me tight. "Stay safe!" I tightly hug her back.

      "I will I promise. Keep your brother out of trouble. I love you." I cooed into her ear. almost throwing me off my feet Katrina came running in and hugged me as soon as Kara let go.

     "Stay safe girly. Text me and keep me updated." Katrina's voice quivered as she spoke.

     "I'll be fine I promise. I'll see y'all soon. Okay?" Katrina berried her head in the crook of my neck and nodded. "We don't know what this is I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow."

     As soon as Katrina walked away Kaleb walked up to me. "So is this goodbye?" Kaleb sounded upset.

    "Of course not. If this doesn't blow by soon I'm coming down here to get you and the girls. Keep them safe." Kaleb nodded.

     "Keep yourself safe mut." Kaleb leaned in getting closer to my face. I turned my head and closed my eyes making sure our lips didn't touch.

     "I love you, but I can't. I'm sorry." I eventually  open my eyes but looking up I see a zombie. "Kaleb?"

    Then I wake up, remembering the last time I saw the people I loved in my life.
