Two years earlier...
"Marley come get your breakfast you're going to be late!" I laid in my warm bed not wanting to get up. But then I smelt the bacon. "Coming!" I yelled. Struggling to get off my pajamas. I went to my closet and picked out a plain black crop top and some dark jean shorts. I ran to the bathroom and cleaned my self up straightening my long dark hair. "C'mon we can't be late honey!" My mom cried. I ran down the stairs into the kitchen grabbing a plate. "Woah head rush!" I laughed. "Eat up we have to be at your sisters graduation in ten minutes."
I sighed.DURING THE GRADUATION CEREMONY...
Now I know I'm supposed to be all excited that my sister is graduating medical school but I'm not because I was the one that was supposed to be in the medical field not her! We have been saving up are whole life's for college but we got into some money troubles and so only one of us gets to go to college and of course it had to be taylor.
She's been teaching me things that she's learned and I have been learning things online, but it's not the same. "Alright time to go." Mom insists grabbing my arm.
"Where's taylor?" I asked "She's going to hangout with some of her friends then shes coming home." I groaned. "How come she gets to do everything fun. Oh my god!" I stormed off and hopped into the car.
The whole car ride home was silent and when we got home mom told me to go to bed and that was that. I started walking up the stairs toward my room when I started to hear my mom cry. I ignored it and went to bed.THE NEXT MORNING...
This is pretty much where shit hit the fan.
I walked down stairs expecting my mom to be cooking, but she wasn't. "Mom?.. Hello are you home?" No answer. "Well then I'll make myself breakfast." I poured myself a bowl of cheerios and turned on the t.v. "A wide spread epidemic has happened in - wait I'm getting an update..
Its now happening in these states California, New Mexico, Oregon.. ... .... ... North Dakota, Nebraska....." Then I hear it. "Iowa and Minnesota. Stay indoors folk and we will keep you updated." They ended the broadcast with pictures of the states being ripped apart and people lined up in hospitals. All of the sudden I got this weird feeling in my stomach. *creak* I jumped up and ran to the kitchen grabbing a knife. Footsteps were heard in every corner. I saw a shadow approaching... "Get out of my house!" I yelled swinging the knife. My wrist was grabbed and the knife was thrown. "Marley its me." I heard my sisters voice. "Taylor." She nodded. I embraced her with hugs. "Where's mom?" She asked. "I don't know I thought she was with you?"
"Have you heard?"
"Yeah." I sighed. Downtown was insane Marley people were killing people and the police were shooting everyone and... She looked down. "And what and what?!" "I saw people latching on to others and eating there flesh... Im lucky I made it out." I started crying and so did she. "Taylor we have to find mom. Im scared."
"I know, I know."
"And I wish dad was here!"
"Me too." I had an Idea but It wasn't very settle. "Hold on." I said running up the stairs and into my moms bedroom. I pulled a long safe out from under moms bed and opened it up revealing three shotguns, one machete, a pistol and my grandmas katana. I dragged the safe downstairs and showed my sister. "What are you doing with that!?" "We might need them to protect ourselves, like you said people are shooting people."
I ran back upstairs and into my bedroom pulling out my old backpack and stuffing it with clothes, cleaning supples and some valuable things. I grabbed another backpack and ran downstairs were my sister had food and water laid out on the counter. "Okay so my Idea... We can stay here or we can go to are lake house in Georgia. I think thats where mom is because last week she told me something about her needing a vacation away from everything and that she might take one up to our lake house now- "wait mom was gonna leave you here alone by yourself? A fifteen year old home by herself that doesn't sound very smart no offense." "You did it. Theres no time to argue thats what she said so drop it. Anyway, now I vote going to the lake house. What do you want to do?" She hesitated for a minute. "I guess the lake house is good." "Okay, now we can leave mom a note here just in case she comes back here." "Alright, lets go."
So on the way to the cabin we had no troubles surprisingly... But when we got there it was a different story. We pulled up the driveway and parked the car. "Now if we see anything weird like on the news just get out of the house okay?" Said taylor. "Got it." I fake smiled, but deep down I was scared of anyone or anything being in there. We walked up to the front door and knocked. "Hello? Anyone in here?" No reply. We tried to open the door but it was locked. "Remember when we came up here two years ago and mom was constantly telling us not to touch her yard decorations?..." I asked "your point." "Watch this." I picked up a garden gnome and smashed it on the ground cracking it open. I grabbed all of the decorations and kept smashing them. "Stop! What are you doing?"
I smiled "ha! Found it!" I walked up to the porch and looked at the massacre I caused... Glass and plastic scattered all over the front yard. "Why did you- I opened my hand that revealed a key. "How did you know that was gonna be in one of those?" I laughed. "I didn't. Besides did you really think mom really "cherished" her little yard statues?" She smiled "no I guess not." I stuck the key in the door and opened it and it looked exactly how we left it two years ago. "Well guess nobody's he-
All of the sudden I felt a piercing pain in my neck and my vision was blurry. "Ahhh let me go!" My sister screamed. I felt helpless. It felt like everything was moving in slow motion. Then I felt something very hard hit the back of my head making me
blackout...~~~~~~
