"Grace!"
Soon after my name got yelled by my brother, Jake, I heard a gunshot causing me to flinch as I looked back, seeing one of these things fall to the ground. My eyes widened at the sight and speeded up, my legs starting to ache from all the running. I didn't understand what or how all of this was happening but I knew I wouldn't be safe until I was in my house.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" I heard my brother shout from our front door with a shotgun in his hand. He reached for my hand which I gladly took and got pulled into the house. Jake closed and locked the door behind me and watched me as I fell into the floor, taking deep breaths. I looked up to my older brother and saw him covered in blood but it wasn't his. I knew that it wasn't.
"What is happening?" I breathed out and rested my head on my hands, trying to cool myself but it only made it worse. All these pictures of these things running after me were stuck in my mind causing me to shiver.
"It was.. It was on the news." He sniffed as he wiped the sweat of his forehead.
"They said it was a.. some kind of a disease." He added before he took a seat next to me on the floor.
"Disease?! They're eating people! What kind of fuck disease is this?!" I raised my voice, only to get shushed by my mother who had just walked into the hallway. She nodded her head to the door and as I turned my head towards it I saw them. They were trying to get in. They were pushing the locked door and scratching with their darkened nails on the wood. My brother grabbed me by my arm and pushed me to the stairs.
"Let's go to the bathoom. The door is the safest there." I nodded and followed them as they ran towards our bathroom, locking the door behind us. Jake slowly turned around and gave my mother and me a concerned look.
"Is one of you bitten?" His eyes were fixed on me. He thought I got bitten out there. My mom stepped back and grabbed the blow driver to defend herself. Or more likely to kill me if I was bitten but I was not.
"No, I'm not." Both of them exhaled as they lowered their weapons. My mother pulled me to a hug and whispered "Thank god." repeatedly as she buried her head onto my neck.
"What happens if you get bitten?" I asked with a shaky voice, my eyes focused on my brother. I knew the answer but I wanted a confirmation. He hesitated before he answered.
"You turn into these things." His voice was not more than a whisper. I nodded and hugged my mother tighter. I was never so scared in my life before. I heard my mother sobbed onto my shoulder and I knew she felt the same as I did.
"Okay, we have to be quiet and you two should sleep. It's late and you're safe here with me. I'll keep watch, okay?" My brother tried to play the brave one but I saw the fear in his eyes. My mother agreed with him and pulled some towels off the cabinet and tossed them to me.
"You can sleep in the bathtub. I'll be fine on the floor." She told me with a faked smile on her face. I nodded slightly and went into the bathtub. I rolled the towel up and put it at the bottom of the tub, resting my head on it. I closed my eyes, only to get greeted by those horrifying pictures in my head. My eyes started to tear up and I felt a tear escape my eye. I wipped it away and tried to be as brave as my brother and not be this scared by these things.
After an eternity, I eventually fell asleep, dreaming about these things.
The zombie apocalypse had begun.

Hi! So this is a new fanfiction I started to write! It's obviously about a zombie apocalypse. Well, I've been watching The Walking Dead for such a long time now that I just had to write something inspired by it. If you haven't watched it yet, go watch it. Now. It's amazing and Glenn is my fucking sunshine and Daryl is the man I need. Anyway, there will be some similar situations but it won't be just like it. It will still have my own plot and own characters (maybe Glenn and Daryl will be in it lmao).
If you are uncomfortable with blood, disgusting zombies eating people's guts and all that apppealing stuff, I suggest you to not read this because I am a fucked up person with a fucked up mind.
If you enjoy reading, please do leave a comment and vote! It helps me out a lot! Love you :)
