"Hello! Ready or not here I come?" I called out to my brother. We were playing hide and seek in the woods. I had a makeshift weapon with me which was basically a long metal pole with a sort of handle that belonged on a power washer gun held together with a thick layer of duct tape. I ran and looked under a bush were he usually hid.
Nope not there. HM......
Suddenly, I hear a moan like sound behind me and then a scuffle. The rustling of leaves fill my ears as I quickly spin around. I see my brother except he isn't. He was pale white eyes with a sort of greenish color like he want to vomit. He just stares at me with blank white eyes and I remember a game we used to play on our Xbox. Call of Duty, we played it all the time and I make a comparison and I know it's to late for my brother.
I raise my makeshift weapon. I never would have thought I actually had to fight my brother with this. As I'm thinking this my brother rushes at me.
"Puppies and kittens." I mumble the quote from Z Nation. I strike my brother in the head and he falls with a thud on the ground. I stare at him for a couple of minutes and think about which friend I should take. I make up my mind and sprint home as fast as I can.
I enter the doorway and I am greeted by my aunt.
"Where is your brother?" she asks.
"Oh, we had a race. He'll be here in a sec." I reply and head to my room. I open my closet not noticing my sister drawing on the floor.
"What are you doing?" she asks as I walk in the medium sized closet.
"Just grabbing something." I say and grab my emergency apocalypse bag. It contains all the things I need from toilet paper to can food to weapons.
"Do you mind if I use the shaft one last time?" I ask my sister.
The shaft is an underground tunnel. Under the king sized bed in our room that we share in a hole and a lid covering it. It opens with a key and my sister holds onto it because I used it wrongly by trying to sneak out of the house.
"Not running away are you?" Krystal asks and looks curiously at my bag.
"No this is stuff for me and Chris to play with." I say lying to be myself and her,because Chris is dead and I killed him. I still can't believe I killed my own brother.
"Okay, but only once." Krystal said and pulls out the key from under her shirt and crawls under the bed. I hear a little sliding sound and know that's my cue to hurry up and come down.
I get on my knees and slide under the bed. My sister has brought batteries and a flashlight.
"Bring them back." Krystal says and hands me both.
"I will." I say and hug my sister goodbye.I wanted to tell my sister that the apocalypse is starting but recently I discovered I can't trust my family. Plus she will want to take everyone and then they will just slow me down.
I head out of the shaft and pop my head out. I see the leaves of the orange tree in our front yard and scramble out. I hear screaming distant but definitely near. I find that it's from the school so I know that the Z's are near. I sprint into Christopher's, my brother, room. I grab his phone water bottles and most of his T-shirts. I grab his school backpack and dump out all the books and paper. I pick up a few pens and empty notebooks and shove them back in the bag. Then I put the stuff I took from him and take one last long look at the room. On my way out I take the laptop we share and the Call of Duty game that was on the shelf.
I turn on Google Maps and put in Elizabeth's address. I sprint all the way there hoping the Z's haven't gotten her first. I barge into the room and see Elizabeth's mother her face shocked. I run up the stairs and open the first door it see.
Nope bathroom. Nope some other room. Not that one either....
Finally, when I reach the fourth door I find Elizabeth sitting down on a bed with her sister sitting with a tablet between her hands. I grab Elizabeth and pull her into the bathroom a couple of rooms away. I swiftly lock the door and turn to Elizabeth.
"Zombie.....Apocalypse.....starting." I say between breaths."Like right now?" Elizabeth asks already making plans to get Katia and run away.
"Yes.... Why do you... Think I would be telling you.... Now." I say finally catching my breath.
