The Undead Files

Chapter 2

The day before the events of the last chapter.

*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*

I swing my arm out from the warmth of my blankets at the accursed thing, lamely missing and falling out of bed with my blanks. With a sigh I stand up and turn the damn thing of before checking to see what day of the week it is. Monday. Great, that means I have school today. It's ok I guess after all it's my last year before I graduate and then I'm DONE with school! Yay! Graduation was in a few months, then I can join up with the Marines. Do something worthwhile with my life and fight for my country.

Having had enough with my own nobleness and whatnot I change into my jeans and shirt, having slept in boxers makes that even quicker, as well as pull on socks and shoes. There, all I need is my hoodie and I'm ready for school. While my sister will spend well over half an hour in the bathroom doing God knows what in there. I still say she holds satanic rituals in there knowing how evil she is. Thinking of this I quickly rush down the hall before she has a chance to steel the upstairs bathroom. Thankfully I wake up fifteen minutes before her so I can use it. I go through my daily procedures including brushing my teeth and dawning deodorant. I take a minute to size myself up in the mirror, just under six foot with a stocky build thanks to religiously working out for the past four year. Eyes that are a mix of dark green, blue, and a hint of brown. It's hard to see the other colors unless you are close to me. Dark brown hair to top it off. It's not to long but its not short either.

I am yanked out of my thoughts by pounding on the bathroom door, "Would you hurry up in there?! I need to pee!" I chuckle at my sister before unlocking and opening the door, "Morning April! Bright eyed and bushy tailed as always I see!" I grin at my sis while I lean against one side of the doorframe, effectively blocking her from the bathroom. "Move it Henry! I gotta pee!" April glares at me while I chuckle and step to the side. April still only fifteen, me being her seiner by three years. Its fun scaring the shit out of any boys she brings home, dad and I love the scared faces some of the boys make. Before I go back to my room I walk to the door beside mine to my youngest sister Ashley's room. I knock on the door and wait a few minutes until i finally let a a sigh and open the door. Her black out curtains are drawn and she looks so comfy in her mound of blankets. i chuckle to myself and throw the blinds open and jump on her screaming, "WAKE UP!" She glares from under the pillow she is using to hide her face, "Get. Off. Me. Now." I laugh, "Nah, I'm pretty comfy here." She shoves on my side and I let her roll me to the floor while i gasp in mock surprise. She glares at me as she gets up from her bed, "Get out I need to get dressed." I laugh as i walk out of her room and back to mine. She has never been a morning person. I grab the books i need for school and go downstairs for a cup of coffee and a bagel. After i finish i leave the house and start walking to school. I have a truck but its only a few miles to school and to me it's a waste of gas to drive.

As i walk down the street a homeless man starts shambling towards a guy in a suit. I was just expecting him to beg for money but when he gets close he lunges at the man! I can't see much from where I'm standing but blood starts to pool around the men and the guy in the suit is screaming bloody murder. I called the cops and informed then of what was going on and that I was going to try to help the poor man being attacked. I was told not to touch either man and vacate the area immediately, not wanting to go to far in case something happened I went around the corner away from the road where I could still see the men but I was still hidden. Not even five minutes later a blacked out SUV came rolling down the street and stopped in front of the men. Four heavily armed soldiers in full black out gear came out the doors and formed a perimeter around the men. One of the men holds a hand up to his ear and says something i can't hear, immediately he starts nodding at what i assume are his orders. "Don't let them close to you men! We are to bring in one test subject immediately and the other is to be terminated. Smith!" One of the men step forward, "Yes, sir?" the leader looks at him, "Terminate the walking one while we load up the other, don't let him bite you or i will shoot you myself. Rodriguez and Stevens as soon as smith pulls this SOB off I want you to restrain the second man." "Yes Sir!" All three men state in unison.

I stair on in horror as the soldier named smith steps forward and throws the homeless man a few feet away from the guy in the suit. Before the homeless man can stand up Smith pins him to the ground and stabs a knife through the mans skull. As this happens Rodriguez and Stevens are zip tying the other guys hands and legs together and put a gag in his mouth. When they step back i can see that the man is missing chunks from his face and shoulder. Before i can see any more of whats left of the man, two of the soldiers grab the man and two grab the homeless guy. Just as quick as they got here they are gone, tires squealing and the ass end of the van whips around the corner. I hurry the rest of the way to school and stay away from anyone i see, but my day only goes downhill from there.
