The Tale of Three

The year was 2015 when the first story of zombies hit the news. At first it was regarded as fake or a group of devil worshipers. But one week later tons of news of the same kind started popping up out of no where. It was then when people got worried, some tried to run from the cities but the army tried to tell everyone that they had everything under control. When that didn't work they used force to make sure people stayed in their homes and kept the highways clear for government vehicles. It only took four months for almost the entire government to fall in the United States. I was never close to any of the cities I always lived in the farthest away from cities as my dad could find. He was one of those people society called nuts who always thought the world was going to end. I still remember him yelling after hearing the first piece of news "HA HA I told you I freaking told everyone but did anyone listen NOPE ha ha now I shall live and they shall die". Kinda funny how life works out sometimes, my father died before ever even seeing a real zombie. It was in the second month of the zombie invasion and the motion senser cameras picked up a little girl alone if the forest. My dad after about 5 minutes of silent debate with himself decided to bring the girl into our underground base. He spent 10 minutes putting his "combat" gear on and grabbed one of our rifles and headed through one of our many tunnels that led outside. To make sure she wasn't a trap to get people he made a full mile circle around the area before heading to her. When he got there he saw the girl was scared at first but when my dad finally calmed her down he asked "It's okay I have somewhere safe but he have t head there now okay?" The girl still a little unhinged answered back "Okay thank you mister". Once they started walking towards the closet tunnel my father asked the girl "Why are you alone this far into the forest?" The girl looked up and answered "I was with my Mommy driving away from the city when the car stopped moving after that we walked for a very long time. Every now and then my mommy would pick me up and run away from some animal that was making a growling noise I tried to see what type of animal it was but my mommy kept saying "Don't open your eyes honey no matter what don't open your eyes!" I still don't know what animal my mommy was talking about but it must of been something scary" she looked behind her with a sad face then continued talking "One night we were camping near a river and my mommy was trying to give me a bath when we heard a truck coming. My mommy told me to get dressed and hide in a tree and wait for her to come back and if she didn't to keep walking north to find my daddy. I heard my mommy going back to grab our stuff when I heard then men finding her, one of the scary men said "Looks like we found ourselves a pretty one men" The other men laughed and one answered him saying "You know where the safest place is right now I but you don't so I will tell you it's right in my pants pretty lady" the other men found that funny and laughed even harder the before. My mommy dropped our stuff and tried running away but I think they got her because I kept hearing screaming coming from her." The little girl who couldn't be more then 8 stopped and started to cry before starting again "Then for the first time one man talked but he didn't should like the others he sounded calm but stern he must of been the leader "Look at her stuff their must be more then one of them out there probably a little girl now go and find her" the other men started to look around and kept saying "come out come out wherever you are" I did my best to stay quiet but I broke one of the branches in the tree by accident and fell down one of the men saw me and started to come after me I ran as fast as I could until I heard the growling of the weird animal I never saw the animal but that guy must of because he tried to pull a gun out and shoot it. He must of failed because I heard the animal get on top of him and started biting him I just kept running." My father looked around real quick and asked the little girl "How long ago was this" She stopped crying long enough to say "last night". You couldn't really see the facial expression of my father but it could be described as shocked. He quickly recovered and picked up the girl and ran as fast as he could while telling her "He have to leave now they might come this way" After about a minute he got to some rock formation that looked like it had been there since the dawn of time. When he heard the sound of a truck coming and the little girl screamed "That the mean peoples car" My father pushed down on some part of the rock and a hidden gateway to a tunnel came out of the ground, then he yelled for the girl to go down now. Right when he could enter he saw the car could see them now and headed towards him he quickly closed the gate so they at least don't see his underground base. When the car got into closer he got behind the rock formation as cover and got ready for a firefight. The truck stopped 50 yards away from him still close enough for his aim. A man got out and called out to him Hey we don't want any trouble just come out and lets talk. My father only replied "How can I be sure it's safe you could just shoot me as I soon as I move." With a smirk the man replied "We are not the threat the zombies are and we need all the help we can get to protect all our families" My father stalled for a moment before he noticed the man getting in the truck again and started driving even closer very fast. My father tried to shoot the tires out but missed. The truck not trying to ram through the rocks instead passed the rocks then quickly turned around where the trucks side was facing my father. Before my father could get a shot off two men opened fire upon him. their bullets couldn't go through his Kevlar vest but a few rounds hit his legs and he hit the ground hard yelling in pain. The man came out again and quickly kicked away his rifle and took out a handgun from his side and said "We have a way to save you if you know anything about a little girl who should be around here" My father looked up with hate in his eyes and and venom in his voice "You will die maybe not by me but your life will end at the hands of another person and not some zombie" The guys shrugged and knelled down and put the gun to my father temple and said "I will take that as a no and so you serve no purpose to me and that is punishable by death because you see I shall become the new God of this world and no person can kill God". With that last ending sentence he pulled the trigger and one less human was alive to fight the zombies.
