Take Us Back (1D)

3 Days In

"Dad...?" I cried out. I was so confused.

Why did my dad barge into my room 3 days ago stuffing my clothes into a suitcase? Why did he tell me to stay inside while he looked around outside? And most importantly; why didn't he come back?

All I remember is his green jumper and our quick exchange.

"Ray, honey. We need to go."

"Wh-"

"No questions, honey, we need to go now," He responded. "There's an infection spreading around and some pretty unbelievable things. We're not safe here anymore and we need to go."

"But Dad! I don't want to leave!"

"Honey, I'm sorry but we have to!" His voice broke. "I'll be back soon, Ray. I need to scope out around the house."

"For what?"

"Just... anyone looking to hurt us... I will be back soon, just stay in the house, keep the doors locked, and do not worry about me! Don't answer the door to anyone and no matter what, know that I love you. You'll be fine here, your momma is watching over us right now. I love you, Ray, I really do." And he swiftly kissed my head and left.

So all I know is that there's an infection spreading quite rapidly and whatever it is, is the cause of the power outage. I can't charge my phone and there are no lights. I found a flashlight, but it's not much. I have been in my house for 3 days since that First Night. But I was fed up. I needed to leave the house; I wanted to look for my dad. It took a few minutes for me to muster up the courage to leave the house but I did it. I walked up to the front door and unlocked the two locks and undid the hatch. I stepped outside and breathed in the muggy air. It was not crisp and cool like usual. The air was warm and it smelled of rotting rats. Something was totally off.

"Dad?" I called out. There were no cars in the street, raising my suspicions. The only sounds were the wind-tumbled leaves. I started down the street towards my bus stop where I would usually wait for a bus to pick me up for school. A cold shiver ran down my back. I turned around and saw a figure not too far away.

"HEY!" I yelled, waving my arms around in the air. The figure turned towards me slowly, and my heart stopped.

Dad.

No. Not dad.

His green jumper had tears in it. It was splattered and speckled with brown, crusty blood. By the looks of the blood, it seemed days old.

"Maybe three days old." I thought.

He has a slash on his face that ran down the right side of his face from his forehead to his nostrils. His eye was slashed in half along the cut and covered in blood. He had a gash that ran along his veins on his left arm. His other eye, his untouched eye, was no longer a comforting blue. His once sparkling eye was covered in a white, milky film. The eye was pale and lifeless along with the rest of his body. His veins were prominent on his skull but they didn't pulse with blood.

Dad looked at me with those eyes that once loved me and started dragging his hanging feet towards me.

NO.

He was dead. But...he was walking.

My breath quickened and my chest tightened.

"Dad..." I croaked. No response. Somewhere deep down I knew that he was gone, but I didn't want to believe it.

"Dad... dad, dad..." I cried. "NO!" I screamed and ran back to my house, locking the door. I pressed my back against the door and slid down in tears.

"Dad...no, dad...no...I'm sorry." I whispered as the world faded to black.
