Esther's P.O.V.
I quickly started grabbing stuff I would need and I took my mother's locket from around her neck and got my father's pistol from their room. I then covered my mother's body, then my dad's.
Afterwards, I left locking the door behind so non of those Things could get to my parents bodies. I put all the stuff in our, well now my, minivan and got in and drove off.
As I drove I just thought. I thought of how I saw my mother's lifeless blood covered body with chucks missing and bites, how I had to stab one of those Things, how I watched my dad take his last breaths, and how I heard over phone my boyfriend scream in pain as I bet another one of those things kill him then then he hang up. All these things went through my head like a picture show, it more like a horror movie, but I'm going to have to get use to that.
As I drove down the road I saw only the bodies, what used to be living people, looking at the van and chasing it.
I even saw two little kids I use to baby sit every Thursday. They were sitting on the ground picking pieces of meat from what looked like a dead miniature bull dog that use to belong to our neighbors.
Then as I was driving, I was fixing to passed up my boyfriend, Steven,'s house. Joy filled me as I saw him standing on the porch. I quickly slammed the breaks, jolting me forward a little. I rolled the window down.
"Steven!"
He looked my way, surprised. He ran to the van and stood by the window.
"Esther!"
"Hurry! Get in the van!"
"I can't..."
I frowned and looked at him worried.
"W..why, Steven?"
"I'm turning into one of those Things."
I started crying.
"H.... How do you know?"
"Esther, I got bit by one, but killed it with a knife. Thirty minutes later I started feeling sick and started to notice I was running a fever. My skin even looked a little paler. I then noticed the bite was all purple around. Honey, I'm dangerous to be around."
I started to cry even more and stuttered out, "I.. I c..can't just l..leave you here!"
"You have to. It's the best thing u don't wan to end up killing you after I turn." Tears ran down his cheeks. "Now go!"
"But.."
"Go, God dangit!"
I kissed him one the lips for around a minute then stopped. He put his cold hand to my cheek and whispered "I will always love you and be with you. Do me one favor, before you leave, though."
I took a deep breath in and, "Anything!"
"Shoot me before you go. I don't want to end up as one of those and kill people."
I nodded my head and grabbed my pistol.
"I love you, Esther," he said again
"I love you, too. Tell my parents I said 'hi'." I smiled in a sad way then kissed his forehead. "Bye, Steven.. I love you too."
And 'BANG!'
He fell over dead I I started pouring my eyes out. I never thought I would have to shoot my boyfriend who've I dated for three years.
I wiped up the tears the best I could. Before I started the van I got out and took a ring that was on his finger and put it on my wedding ring finger, then got back in and zoomed out of here.
The whole time I was driving I couldn't stop thinking about him and my parents, their deaths. All in one day my mom, dad, and boyfriend and the the while neighborhood died, basically, except for me. It was all overwhelming.
Soon, I got up to an old house and saw that It was getting dark. I needed somewhere to rest and staying in the car was not the most comfortable thing in the world, so I took the opportunity. I grabbed all my stuff and brought it all inside with me. I then checked the whole house. Clear!
As I walked around inside I realized that all the stuff you needed to survive with was gone. They must of evacuated.
I licked all doors and wet upstairs into a bedroom and landed right on the bed and instantly fell asleep. I was TIRED!!
