Chapter 1
I walk through the old deserted village of Denny in Scotland. My names Alex and im stuck right in the middle of a Zombie apocalypse. We dont call them Zombies though. We call them walkers but they really are just Zombies. By we i mean me and my brother Drew. We are the only ones left in our family. He is older than me but only by two years. Im fourteen and hes sixteen. We both have dirty blond hair and blue eyes just like our father. We have been alone since we saw both our father and mother get ripped to shreds by walkers and now we are wandering around alone. The apocolypse started up when i was twelve. By now we have given up all hope of help coming. When our parents died we fled Glasgow and headed for smaller villages. Thats how we ended up in the little village of Denny now. I would have been a lovely village if it hadnt been overrun by walkers. The street we are on is lined with lovely cottages and paper shops with a huge fountin in the middle witch just makes the place look even nicer.
So me and Drew walk through the village when Drew stops and tells me he hears somthing.
"Its probley just a walker in a cottage. Im sure its nothing to worry about" i reply.
"No but-"
He gets cut off by the loud groaning sound that the walkers make, and the sound of lots of people walking at once. Then i relise that is a heard.
The heard was coming towards us. I didnt know what to do. How could i protect my baby sister against so many of them things.
"Quick get to that cottage before they see us" a small voice wispered in my ear and i relised that it was Alex. Quickly i followed her to the cottage. We ran up the stairs locked the doors, shut the curtins and ran up the stairs. The room we hid looked like it used to belong to an old widowed wife. The room had flowery wallpaper and frilly curtins.
" It smells like grannys" Alex said in a hushed wisper.
" It does a little"
I replied, trying to stop myself from laughing.
Alex let out a small giggle then started snorting like a pig.
We heard a knock on the door and we went quite.
" I think we should shut up" i told her.
" yeah i agree".
We had learnd that walkers can smell and hear you pretty good and when one comes knocking at your door its not to sit and have a cup of tea and a biscut. I looked out the window the walkers were still there but the sky was getting dark.
" Its getting late Alex. Go to sleep ill take first watch. Ok ?"
" yeah ok " Alex said trying not to word.
" Good night my baby sister" i told her sticking my toung out.
"Good night" she said giggleing.
She lay on the bed and was snoring before her head even hit the pillow.
" Good night baby girl" i was wipering to Alex even though she couldnt hear me "i will keep you safe, i promis" .
