Zombie Apocalypse with teens

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Initial Outbreak


I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I groan for a bit, then get up and shut it off. I go to the bathroom, wash my face, and get dressed. I head over to the kitchen, and hug my mom and grandma. I turn around and head to open the windows. Pretty silent. Weird i thought. Well I don't make much out of it. I eat and head out of the house. My mom drives me and I head to class. I go in and put my stuff down. I immediately see my crush, ugh why does he have to be so cute? I will never know. My teacher tells us to take our homework out so we do. Then all of a sudden we hear something on the loud speaker,

"Teachers, lock down immediately, shut blinds, windows, and lights. Keep the children safe. There are undead, coming through and trying to eat all of our living people. Make sure to grab sharp things, and aim for the head, best wishes till i check back in. Good-"

  And then, he's cut off and everyone hears gurgling and then moans. I think, there goes our principal. Everyone freaks out in the classroom, and the teacher follows the instructions from the loud speaker.

  My crush, Troy, is obsessed to be talking about zombie killing. I'm worried about my best friend Rose, I don't see her until break, and she's on the field, where those horrid things are.

   We hear a bang on the door from our classmates, I see Rose running from a zombie, and I silently pray she will make it, she does because someone trips it. My teacher opens the door cautiously and I immediately check Rose for any bites. She says,

"So, I don't get a hug after running from a zombie, I get checked instead."

I smirk and say, "We're dealing with zombies, this is a sign of caring"

  I finish checking her, she's fine. I am worried for the rest of my family, but I can't worry in front of Rose, knowing her parents are working far away as well.

  "Clare! I'm fine, I'm so glad you called, I'm heading over to your school to pick you up, then we are heading to the family base, where everyone is waiting for us. I am being escorted by military men."

  I immediately tell her, "Mom, I'm fine, don't come, it's too risky. Head to the safe house and keep your phone with you, we're thinking of an evacuation plan." I'm cut off by the screams of my mother, and then I hear nothing.

  She says, "Great, that bastard almost bit me, thank goodness I have the military base volunteers behind me, evacuating you children."

"Wait okay then, I'm in Mrs. Stewart's class."

  My mom hangs up and says she is in a bit of trouble, I pray she's alright. I then hear gunshots, so I get down, and everyone follows my gesture. The door bangs open with some military men, and my mother. I run over and hug her like I haven't seen her in ages, which really wasn't an understatement in my opinion.

  My best friend starts crying after a military man walked over to her, I rush over to her side and I ask her what's wrong, she responds and says, "My mom died, so did my dad, and my sister." After she finishes she started crying really hard, I tell her its okay that my mom and I will take care of her. Everyone around comes and comforts her the best we can, and she's better, but still hurting.

The military guys break up the sentimental moment and evacuate us. My crush walks over to me and asks, "You okay?"

"I'm fine, just a bit shaken up, what about you?" I respond.

"Same, but I hear that your mom is the one evacuating us? I just wanted to thank you." He says. 

  On different circumstances, I would be ecstatic, but right now survival is my priority. The zombies
approach, I shoot one in the head, first shot in my whole life. Not bad i think. The military men gets us to the car, and I am glad. My mom hugs me and assures me we will be okay. I drift off to sleep

                                                                          *          *          *


  I dream to the sound of screams, crying and gurgles. I gag at the smell, it smells like rotten eggs. Someone tugs my arm, and I encounter my first face to face with a zombie. My first thought was that I was going to die then and there, but I reach for my knife and I slice it before it bit me, that was a close one.

  I find my mom killing the horrid things, while one grabs her, an old man turned green. He's about to sink his teeth in when I shot him, with my gun in my back pocket, praying that I didn't hurt my mom. The man immediately falls, and my moms okay, she turns around and hugs me. I'm glad i have her, even if it is just a dream.

  The dream that I had was all in my sleep, and I notice something that I didn't notice before, something is making a noise, not in my sleep, but what I think is very realistic. I start waking up, but what I see is far worse. 

  I kick the zombie at my feet, the zombie was missing an arm and a leg, and couldn't move more than a centimeter at a time, but I was still in my dream state, so I had to think fast. I grab a knife, that cut my ankle while I was kicking, and I stab it in the head. 

  After it was over, I sit and think, what happened for this world to come to this? Were we not strong enough to survive this, or what would have happened if we did?
