Danielle's POV

BANG!

Danielle slowly started becoming aware of her surroundings, her mind still foggy as to what had happened. Her face felt wet and sticky and she had to blink her eyes a few times until she could finally open them properly.

Her head was throbbing and her chest felt heavy, no it felt like she was being suffocated, she tried to sit up but was unable to move. She lifted her head just enough to be able to look down at her body and seeing the bloody, headless corpse lying on top of her certainly helped clear her mind.

Danielle suddenly remembered struggling to load the gun, the panic when she couldn't slide the shell in, rolling onto her back just as the guy lunged at her, then everything went black.

She started hyperventilating as her mind screamed at her to get out of there. She was not strong enough to push the guy off her and started instead trying to slide her body from under him.

Oh my god this guy is so fucking heavy she thought to herself as she slowly started wriggling out from underneath him,

"Finally," She says to herself as she sat up, she grabbed the gun and stood up turning to head down to her bedroom, however because she had been so focused on getting out from underneath the guy she hadn't noticed the rest of her surroundings and walked head first into another infected person that was standing in her hallway.

The infected person stumbled back a few steps, Danielle instantly stopped breathing and slowly stepped away until her back was pressed up against the wall, her eyes darted quickly to the spilt shotgun shells lying on the floor then back to the infected person who was now looking at her.

Danielle could hear her heart beating loudly in her ears, her mind screamed at her to run, but her body refused to respond.

The infected person grunted and proceeded to shuffle past her. She then noticed two more were walking towards her but again they just moved right by her, she watched them walk out her front door, and down her front steps.

"Shit!" Danielle exhaled and slowly started breathing again.

She waited a few more moments before picking up a couple of shotgun shells, once she had re-loaded the gun she cautiously moved down to her bedroom and shut the door, she turned the radio on and started throwing a few things into a bag, she noticed her reflection in the mirror and quickly changed her top. She hurried into her en-suite and after looking at her bloody face quickly washed it before heading back into the bedroom and throwing her leather jacket on.

Well downtown LA has now been completely over run,  anyone not infected please stay away from there. Reports also coming in that all the major highways are becoming blocked by abandoned cars. Other reports are now suggesting that the infection is passed through the bite of the infected, I repeat the infection is passed through the bite of the infected. Once again you are listening to KRTH 101.1 FM stay tuned for further information.

Black Sabbath's After Forever starts playing.  

Danielle goes back into the hallway and to her front door, she finds the ammo bag on the front porch, she doesn't risk going any further as there were several infected people aimlessly moving around on her front lawn near her moped, instead she collects the other gun and heads back through the house and out the back door jumping on the spare moped.
