It's Just Us Now

2 Months Now, I Think.

Alice P.O.V

I woke up, hoping that the end, people dieing then coming back as something else and eating the living people, the fall of everything, endless running, that it wasn't real. Nope, out of luck. Those hopes were quickly shattered when I looked around and I heard the dead shuffling around outside. I was in an unfamiliar house with no electricity, shirt covered in zombie blood and dirt, the uneasy quiet that chilled my bones, and I soon remembered why I was here. Same thing as every day. "Dang it," I whispered under my breath. I shook Andrew to wake him up and he just waved it off. We're all tired so I just laid my head back on the floor and closed my eyes hoping for a little more sleep. I was out of luck, no sleep for me.
It's really just us now. I know we're going to have to stick together. Could be worse, much much worse. We could be one of those creatures. Its been 2 months since everything fell, at least I think. It's getting hard to keep track of time. Well we'll see how long all this will last I guess. I hope someone finds a cure or something. I always thought the zombie apocalypse, or whatever this is, was just stuff in video games and TV shows and movies, I never thought it could be, well, real. Maybe it's not. Maybe I lost my mind and this is all crazy, I'm actually in a coma or waiting to be sent to a crazy house. Maybe it's just a long, horrible dream. But it's not, this is actually real. It's real and it's terrifying. Not even I have that good of an imagination. I don't understand why some people are just letting their "dark" side take control. Other people are just giving up. I hope that there is still some good people out there, or else crap. We've learned quite a bit to be honest. I think we'll probably be alright for a while. We've learned a bit. The zombies respond to sound and the living's smell. Apparently the smell of zombie guts can disguise us, disgusting. The only way to actually kill the zombies is to stab or shoot them in the head, just have to destroy the brain. Don't want to make that mistake, like, ever. Poor lunch lady. I always want an excuse to get out of school or not go to school, but this sucks. I wonder what caused all this anyway. I don't know if it's actually going to be, well, fixable or if this is all its ever going to be now 'till the end. I don't have a lot hope that this will get better, in all honesty, but I don't know. I wonder if- wait-
I was shaken out of thought when I realized the others were starting to wake up. I sat up and realized that I had fell asleep in my shoes again, convenient possible. "Hey Alice, what food do we still have?" Melody asked, still groggy waking up just a while ago. "Uh, I think we have some breakfast bars, beef jerky, and some other stuff." I told her quite unsure. I reached into my bag and pulled out a breakfast bar, split it, and tossed the bigger piece at her. Then I tossed one to Eli. I gave Andrew and Tyler the beef jerky. I took the other half of the breakfast bar I split. Our food rations are kind of, really, getting low, we are probably going to have to make a quick sweep for food and supplies very soon.
I reached for my bow and arrows and put them on my back. I prefer to have them with me all the time. Most of us prefer to have our weapons.
It's really honestly scary right now. At least I have Andrew and the other. Well, I guess it's time for another day of avoiding Hell.
