When he opens the gate, a whole bunch of the 'dead' things look at us.

Henry looks at me, "Run. Towards the jeep." He commands. I look out towards the jeep, which looks like it could be miles away. I know it isn't though, it's just my imagination from being so scared.

I follow his orders and run behind him, holding his hand.

I look around at the dead surrounding us. There are a lot. About ten, maybe.

He shoots his gun about twice, shooting the people that get too close to us. When we reach the jeep, I'm already out of breath and shaking.

He opens the back door, then runs to the front seat and gets inside. I close the door behind me, and one of the dead slams its hand on my window. I scream and cover my eyes, and Henry starts driving away.

I open my eyes when Henry talks, "So... What happened to your parents?" He asks cautiously.

"Uh, they just..." I can feel the tears coming, but I hold them back. "Died I guess. I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay," I look at him, steadily driving. Then I look out the window. No people. This is on the way to my school, and there are usually a lot of people. I guess I don't really want to know what happened to them.

But, what about all my friends? Maybe some of them are still alive...

My best friend, Bryn, could she be alive? A tear falls from my eye and I shake the thought away.

We drive past my school, past the office mommy worked at, past my previous life.
