Brains? What brains

Chapter 1

Parties suck.
There I said it. Parties suck.
Can you guess where I am?
If you guessed party, then you are right!
Sadly.
I'm here for one reason only. For my best friend Kendall Mason; she doesn't always want to be alone with her boy toy Jason, a.k.a Fuckboy, so she wants me here as a friend but also so Jason doesn't get any ideas.
My purpose tonight is to be a cockblock.
Since Kendall invited me to this party. Jason also invited the Abbott and Costello of his friends: Mack Stevens, and Isaiah Harrison. They keep me entertained with their 'funny' banter. I mean don't get me wrong they're super annoying, but they're my only source of fun tonight. I'm using the word 'fun' lightly.
There's a lot of people here at a random house, I think it's Maisie Anderson's house. Not for sure, I've only met her once though. I remember just the strong smell of copper. I don't know if it was a perfume or what but it's atrocious, and she always seems to have a scowl on her face so I just always stay clear of her.
I have a red solo cup in my hand. Don't get any ideas, it's just water. Now Isaiah has a red solo cup too, and I definitely don't think it's water. He's trying to tell me that he and Mack are going to make a boyband and recruit Jason, and rap about Jesus and the Gospel.
Luckily I shut him up by saying I needed to go to the restroom. I set down my cup and head upstairs. Passing couples making out against the wall, I almost got taken down by a couple who were trying to get into a bedroom. I finally find a bathroom, once I open the door. Inside Maisie Anderson was throwing up in the toilet.
"Oh shit, sorry, I'll just yeah" I was about to turn away when I saw that Maisie just stop moving, like she was in mid motion to turn and look at me when she just passed out hitting her head on the toilet seat.
I really want to just turn away and pretend I didn't see what I just saw and find a different bathroom, but sadly I'm a semi good person and I can't leave her like this.
"FML" I said quietly to myself before walking over to her. First I nudged her with my foot, "Hey Maisie can her hear me, can you get up, you okay?"
No answer. I nudge a little harder, "Vicky please wake up I really don't-" Suddenly Maisie jumped at me.
"What the fuck?!" I said getting out of the way. Maisie's eyes are jet black, and soulless. Her skin is pale showing dark purple and blue veins wrapped around her frail body. "What happened to you?!" I said frightened, her hair was like straw and breath...Still smells like copper.
She lunges at me again. I quickly dodge her and open the door closest to me. I seem to have stumbled into her parent's room.
"Come on Maisie, we might not be friends but you don't have to do me like this," I said out of breath. My hands are out in front of me, I slowly walk towards another door.
I pretend that I have something in my hand and pretend to throw something behind her. She didn't budge. Shit. I look at her than at the door a couple feet away from me. I weigh my options, stay here and be attacked by Maisie, or run to the door and risk her attacking me while my back's turned.
Fuck it.
I sprinted to the door, I open and close the door just as she got there. I quickly lock the door. I jump back as Maisie starts to pound on the door. I look around, I'm in Maisie's parent's walk-in closet.
The door starts to creek under the strong blows Vicky was giving it with her fists. The door won't last much longer. I search around for anything that I could use at a weapon. My heart is in my throat and my stomach is jumbled in knots. I look up and my eyes catch a glimpse of something shiny. I look harder and I see a silver gun resting in the top self of the closet.
I franticly try to find something to stand on. I turn quickly at the sound of wood splintering; Maisie has broken a chunk of the door off. I turn back around and start looking again, my forehead creased and sweaty, my body shaking with adrenaline.
Just my luck, there is absolutely nothing for me to stand on to get the gun. That's great. I just start to do the next best thing, I start jumping. My fingertips graze the handle of the gun, pushing the gun further onto the shelf.
"Goodness gracious!" I yell in frustration.
Just as I was about to make another feeble attempt to save my lazy ass. Maisie completely breaks the top half of the door off. The top half of her body was leaning towards me. Her arms reaching for me, "ARRRAAGGHH" Maisie grunted her teeth yellow as black goo drip from her jowls and on to the floor.
I fall to the floor scared and scoot myself away from Maisie.
Maisie was starting to brake more of the door off when I heard a gunshot. Maisie's head exploded under impact of the bullet. Black blood splatter painted the walls of the closet.
Standing on the other side of the door, over Maisie's body was Kendall. She had her long blonde hair in a ponytail and a loaded shot gun in her right hand.
"y-you okay?" Kendall asked helping me out of the closet. I look back at what just happened and audibly gulped, "Y-yeah, just thanks for being there, how did you know?" I asked as I me and Kendall walk out of the room. Once I opened the door I was greeted by the steel smell of blood, and battered bodies on the floor. I put a hand to my face, "People just started to attack other people, the people attacking looked infected with some kind of disease, like Jeff Bridges, he tried to kill me, I don't know how he got invitation, Maisie promised that he wasn't invited" Kendall said as me and her navigate through the house of dead people towards the front door.
"Where did you find a shot gun," I asked as we finally walked out the front door. "oh, this? I found it was in Mr. Anderson's study" Kendall said as if it were nothing.
Jason waved us down as to where they were parked. We jog up to him. "We need to get out of here" I said urgently, "Thanks Taylor for stating the obvious," Jason said sarcastically getting into the driver's seat of the car. I roll my eyes and reach for the door handle on his car when the car jerked forward, "Really Jason can you not" I said reaching again, he did it again. Luckily he stopped on my third try.
Once I got in the I slapped him on the arm as Isaiah and Mack are creaking up beside me. "You guys are seriously laughing when there is a house of dead people next to us?" Kendall said in front seat. Everyone goes quiet.
"Where do we go now?" Mack said nervously fiddling with his fingers. "I know, we can go to my beach house it's thirty minutes away from here" suggested Kendall, since we have no other option we all agreed on her beach house not knowing what lies in the murky waters of the beach.
