(Jayden's Point Of View)
As Jasper lays slowly dying in my arms I look at him and see the dumb little smile he has trying to keep me from crying, but I can't retrain myself as tears flow out like on a rainy day. And I know very soon I will have lost him.
"I Love You Jayden." He says as he closes his eyes and slows his breathing.
"I Love You Jasper." I say just before his breaths stop.
"Jasper, JASPER?" I say shaking his lifeless body, only to stop and start crying.
I pull out my sword and stab it into his head after giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
I then get up and walk to the already dead zombie inside the church and cut open his chest before whipping his guts all over myself before going to the church door and opening it. Not really caring if it works or not.

(Indigo's Point Of View)
(3 hours ago...)
Jayden and Jasper have just left and now I'm stuck in a broken-down Jeep with my brother who I bet didn't even notice I was gone for at least 3 days and when he found out I recon he didn't even look for me.
"So, how you are feeling?" Milo says awkwardly,
"Cut the crap, how long did it take you to notice I was gone?" I question,
"Straight away." He says slowly,
"Bull-Shit." I scream.
"Fine it took me two days to notice, because all the time you use to threaten to run away and you would just go down the road to friends house and I'd had enough of your shit, so I left it a day and went to collect you and that's when I figured out something was wrong." He admits,
"So, did you search for me?" I question again,
"Of course, I did, for 3 years." He says almost in tears,
"Well... Why did you stop?" I ask, trying to find fault in his answers.
"Dad..." He said barely above a whisper
"What did dad do now? What did he just tell you to give up or what?" I say knowing dad would probably do something like that.
"Wait, you don't know?" He says slowly.
"What don't I know?" I ask now confused?
"Dad, he umm he died..." He says just above a whisper.
"What?" I gasp, he can't be... Dead?

(Dylan's Point Of View)
After Logan Drives off to find the others we walk up the steps and onto the porch of the first house in town. Teddy tells Carter to stay with Howie outside just in case of anything, and we walk in with our weapons ready.
We split up against Teddy's wishes. I go up each step slowly and as quietly as possible, once up the stairs I slowly approach the first door getting my bat ready.
I open the door and then it hits me the smell.

(Milo's Point Of View)
As soon as the words slip out all other words that could have been said never made it to the surface and she just stares out into the nothing ness not saying a single word. And that's when I see the Ford coming right for us, I look at Indigo to see if she sees him and she still doesn't move, she is barely blinking. I did this to her.
I jump out of the car to see Logan doing the same, "What happened?" He asks looking at the Jeep,
"It's been leaking gas, did Jasper and Jayden find you guys and tell you to come back for us?" I was curious if they made it all the way.
"Wait Jayden and Jasper aren't here?" He asks sounding worried, I shake my head as a no to his question.
"Well we'll have to wait, they will come back, Right?" He says, "We'll go in the Ford just in case anything happens.
After grabbing everything important in the Jeep and putting it into the Ford while Indigo just slowly gets out of the car and comes towards me when all of a sudden, she gives me a hug which I return straight away. Then she jumps in the car and falls asleep in the back seat.

(Dylan's Point Of View)
As I step into the room I see three dead bodies each lying on its own bed and two sitting on different chairs, it looks like the family committed mass suicide in the kid's room. I see that the three on the beds (one bed after another) two young looking girls and a little boy, the parents sitting on the chairs. I start to feel vomit coming up my throat so I run out of the room and down the stairs outside the door and vomit into the grass passed the porch where Carter and Howie are sitting.
As I look up I see Carter getting up telling Howie to wait, and then I hear Teddy and Charlie coming through the door I came running out of.
And I just stand here hunched over not moving not ready to come to the fact that this family couldn't live without each other, so the parents' probably put their kids to bed before killing them letting them escape this new horrid world before they took their own lives.
Everyone stares at me and I just point upstairs and say, "House... Safe... First... Door..." I am mumbling and then Teddy runs up the stairs and just before Charlie goes after him I grab her and nod to Carter telling her to go. While bringing Charlie with me to where Howie is sitting.
Soon Teddy and Carter come down the stairs slowly. Teddy dropping down on the steps with a few tears begging to fall from his eyes, and I know they've seen what I had seen.

(Logan's Point Of View)
Milo slowly falls asleep in the car after a while leaving me to stay awake and wait for Jayden and Jasper to come back and that's when I see a person walking towards us I think zombie at first but as it gets closer, I recognize Jayden and I realise that it wasn't a zombie, I jump out of the car and run towards her.
I stop when I'm right in front of her and notice Jasper is nowhere, "Where's Jasper?" I ask her and she just starts crying, I bring her towards me so she can cry while hugging me and that's when I know he's dead. And I'm now covered in blood, hopefully not his.
A few single tears drop from my face because I considered Jasper a friend, not just a friend but a brother and it's been a long time since I have considered anyone my brother. And now I have lost another brother.
I soon pick Jayden up bridal style and slowly put her in the car, just as Indigo wakes up and when she sees Jayden crying next to her covered in blood, I see that she has worked out that Jasper is dead just like me and she slowly moves towards Jayden and hugs, letting her cry on her shoulder. As I start the car and we make our way back to where the others are while the sun starts to set.
-------------------
As we arrive and enter the house. Once inside I see everyone down stairs in the living room of the house and just as I'm about to run upstairs they all yell 'no' at the same time.
So, I just walk over to them while Milo brings in Jayden whom eventually fell asleep in the car and we didn't want to wake her, knowing she would just cry again and then Indigo walks in after and shuts the door behind her.
Dylan jumps up about to ask and I just shake my head and she drops back down maybe lost in thought but so quiet, maybe this is her. I sit down next to her and hug her to me, another one of her loved ones is dead soon she won't have any left.
Milo puts Jayden down on one of the empty couches and sits down on the floor covered in pillows and blankets. Everyone seems to be crying even Howie and Howie never got a chance to know him, but then again, he was a great guy, kind, accepting and loving. I see Charlie and notice how she seems to be crying but I don't think over the same person as all else.
