Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Shock

A/N: Here's the next chapter! I'm gonna be posting a chapter a day I think...just to be nice!

Eva's POV

"FREYA? FREYA? FREYA FREAKING ANSWER ME"?! But that was it, the line went dead.

I tried calling her back but it kept cutting off.

After the eighth try I slammed my fist against the dashboard and repeatedly banged my head against the wheel. I accidentally hit the horn in my anger and it blasted through the quiet countryside. It made me jump out of my skin.

I couldn't understand what Freya was on about and why she was so scared and what that horrible scream was at the end. So many questions were running through my mind but they were interrupted when I heard something.

It was some sort of moan from the woods. I wasn't waiting around to find out what it was after that weird phone call from Freya.

I started up the engine and began to pull out. I got onto the road and started gaining speed. That was when I started thinking about what Freya had said when she was telling me not to go to any towns or cities, why?

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't see the old man crossing the road in front of me.

I screamed as I slammed my foot on the break. I heard a bang and loud crack as the man was sent flying up into the windshield and over the top of the car. My eyes were squeezed shut as I felt the car come to a skidding halt.

I probably just killed someone. What was I supposed to do, leave him? So many thoughts all at once.

I slowly opened one eye and checked myself, I was fine. There was not much I could say for the old man I'd just hit.

The front windshield was stained...with blood...

Trembling, I got out of the car, leaving the door open without thinking. I walked around the car to look at the human. As I walked I noticed a blood trail across the roof of my car.

That was when I saw him...it. A wasted away thing that only had a few characteristics of a human being. Like a skeleton, mouldy skin and thin, patchy grey hair. It's torn clothes were stained with blood - lots of blood.

"Oh my God..." I gasped as I stared at it.

It was lying in the most awkward position - a position that was impossible to do without breaking something.

There was no way...no way it was possible to survive that and surely, surely I hadn't done all of that to it just by hitting it with my car!

I slowly backed away. There was nothing I could do for...whatever it was. Suddenly I heard loud moans and gurgles from behind. They were louder, closer.

I looked over my shoulder and there were more. Walking. They were emerging from the trees, slowly, but were still heading for me.

"Holy shit"! I exclaimed. I'd had enough. I ran for the front of the car but one was only a few yards away. I jumped into the car and slammed the door. I fumbled with my keys, trying to find the right one.

I let out a cry when one of the things slammed itself against the window. It began to pound its feeble fist consisting of no skin only bone on my window. The window cracked after a few tries. There were multiple bangs now coming from all around the car. They were all fighting there way in.

I finally got the key into the ignition and turned it. The engine started straight away and I slammed my foot on the gas. The car pulled away with great speed and all of the things fell off apart from the one on the front windshield. It lay there still pounding on the glass. I swerved a few times until it fell off and slid underneath the car. I jumped up and down as I ran over it. I sped off into the distance towards the town.

A/N: I guess Eva found out about the apocalypse the hard way! There's a couple more chapters before she meets Niall but be patient because everything before she meets him is relevant to the plot :)

Oh, and please try to remember that Eva's name is pronounced Ay-vah NOT Ee-vah.

Please vote, fan and COMMENT to let me know what you guys think so far!
