Carmon's pov. *one year later*

In the year that I have been trying to end this madness I have yet to come across anyone human. Though of the burden of not knowing what these "powers" I have do, I have learned a few things about these things.

I actually came up with a name of what to call them, instead of something very unrealistic like zombies, but they are catigorized. In my journey I have seen them mutate.

Some of them crawl but on all fours, they have this pale gray skin and it's slimy. I call them, silks . They don't have eyes, nose, or ears,  to determine where it's victim would be, they have an extra boost to their sense of touch, being able to feel where you stand from yards away.

There are also these huge ones that carry weapons, I call them, bounders. They are very large in height and in muscle, they have a metalic bag over their head with a needle going through it. They also carry these axes the length of a hockey stick and the width of a plank of wood. They don't eat you, they kill anything in sight.

Then there are the usual ones that still obtain human form but have the tenticles appear from their mouth. I call them cordyceps, or corceps.

I've made it to the state of Louisiana, and it's almost like a fucking ghost town here, due to all of the swamps and humidity, there's nothing but fog and I can barely see infront of my face. I have no more ammunition so I only have my two knives.

What spooks me out is my powers, they give my senses a boost and every time I hear something it's from a far distance and it's getting to my head and I get paranoid. It's fucked up.

I continue to walk down the empty, quiet streets until I turn a corner and there are is a whole colony of corceps. I stand there for a moment, my eyes wide and I try to stay calm, and quiet, they are blind, only attracted by sound or the smell of blood.

I back up slowly and suddenly hit a sharp corner and cut my arm. shit. Their heads turn toward me, and spot me, that's when I start my sprint. I have no idea where to go but I run in different directions. Then the worst happens, a dead end. I think quickly grabbing my knives, and stab them into the brick walls climbing up the building going to the roof.

Zayn's pov. *inside the building*

Me and the lads were just talking around our little fire we made in one of the barrels in the warehouse, we had came from Virginia when the rest of our team was killed in one of the rescue helicopters they sent for us to escape here, there were ten of us, the rescue team had came in the helicopter and as we started to board only five could go, so we let the rest of the team go. When the helicopter took off it started to lose control crashing into one of the feilds near by. Now we're just searching for any survivors, so we could help them.

"Hey Zayn, wouldn't it be nice if there was a girl with us?" Harry spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts. The rest of the boys started laughing and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"A girl can't kill those things Harry what are you thinking?" Louis laughed loudly.

"Besides I'm sure there will be plenty once we head to Mexico." Liam chuckled.

I just looked back down, it would be nice to have a girl, I miss my Perrie, before we left for the mission I saw her get killed by those things and I miss her so much..

Liam was about to speak until I heard something, and I guess the rest of the boys heard it too because they turned their heads looking for the location of the sound.

"Do you hear that?" I spoke and they all nodded.

"It sounds like scrapping against the walls." Liam said.

We stood up and had our weapons ready incase one of those things got in the building. We split up and walked around the area for anything.

"Niall come with me, Harry you go with Louis and Zayn go check out the top floor." Liam said, and we all nodded and headed in different directions.

Carmon's pov.

I made it to the roof of the building and looked down seeing those things at the bottom trying to climb up the wall.

I huff and then see a glass part of the roof and push one of them down and see a guy with a gun walking around. Finally a human being! I climb into the building and stay on the top walls not wanting him to see me, not knowing if I can trust him yet. He turns around and sees me. shit. He blinks a few times and shakes his head and I take the chance and move behind some barrels and he just walks away. I let out a breath and look over and see more guys with guns on the first floor.

I stop for a moment as I hear loud footsteps and the dragging of iron. Damnit, not now how did a bounder know where I was? I peak around and make sure they don't see me then climb back up the window onto the roof.

Zayn's pov.

Maybe I'm just imagining things, there's no way I saw a girl on the ledge. I shake my head and go back to the first floor, seeing the rest of the boys come back.

"Did you guys see anything?" Niall asked, we all shook our heads.

"What the hell was that then?" Louis huffed and I just shrugged. What if I did see a girl and she was the one who made the noise. No, I'm just imagining things.

Then I hear a thud, then another, then another.

"What the hell is that?" Niall said referring to the thuds.

Harry and I walk over to the boarded windows and look through them outside and we see those things dropping like flies. My eyes widen and I back away from the window. What the hell is causing them to drop like that? Then we hear loud foot steps, like a boom.

"What the fuck is going on?!? Those things are dropping like flies out there!!" Niall says a little shaken up. What the hell is happening?

Carmon's pov.

I found a wire at the top of the building and tied it around my waist, then tied the other end to a metal piece and pulled it to make sure it was stable. I took a few steps back then jumped off the building the rope sliding and I swing across slicing the heads of the cordeceps. I reach the ground and untie the rope starting to run and slice their heads off and they keep dropping. Then I see the bounder I think quick and kick up each wall getting to it's height and I grab my bowie knife, then I glide the knife across it's neck, slowly decapitating it.

I catch myself as I hit the ground and I see the door to the building opening, I quickly go to it, get inside and slam it shut behind me. I close my eyes and I slide down the door letting out a breath. As I open up my eyes again I am met with the four guys I saw earlier through the window.

"Who are you?" The one who I asume is the leader.

"You don't need to know, why didn't you go help me?" I say a little angry.

He scoffs "Well I'm sorry if we didn't know what the hell was going on out there, and we didn't even know you existed, how did you kill those things so quickly anyway?" He questioned.

"I didn't kill all of them, I just- do you even know how to kill them?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Well-Of course we do!"

I smirked and grabbed the door handle. "Then show me."
