Out Of Sight -A Zombie Novel

November 3rd

It was about 2am when I heard it, the loud bang, in my sisters room. I was right next door with my two nieces Alize and Nyaliz (Nie-ya-leese), who were spending the night. Then the bang came again, so I became half awake.

I slowly looked to the side to see Alize and Nya sound asleep on the bed. I tiredly sat up leaning against the wall, and tried to keep my eyes open. My eyes slowly started to close again, so slowly. I had no choice but to close them, for my eye lids were far to heavy to keep open.

What came next scared me awake. Instead of a bang I heard a scream, I can recognize that scream anywhere, it was Alex, my 4 year old nephew. I quickly threw the blanket that was on me to the side and jumped out of bed meeting my mom in the hallway with the same panicked expression.

I quickly made my way to my sisters room and opened the door. My eyes went wide at what I saw, Alex and Adriel were under the bed, and Laury (my sister) was eating her husband, Kyle. The foul stench of a dead body suddenly hit my nose making me want to vomit almost instantly.

I quickly covered my nose, and made sure to breath out my mouth. I looked under the bed again to see silent tears running down Alex's face, His eyes met with mine, I could tell he was about to shout my name but I quickly put one finger to my lips, telling him to hush.

He quickly shut his mouth.

I slowly closed the door, making sure not to make a sound. I then ran as fast as I could to my mom's room, to see why she left. Opening the door almost instantly, My mom was sitting on the edge of the bed watching the tv. Her eyes seem to widen slightly at what she saw on the news. I quickly looked on the tv, wondering what was so important.

What I saw frightened me even more, on the screen showed people running around frantically, screaming, then behind them were people with blood all over their face.

"M-Mom what's g-going on" I asked my voice shaking a bit.

My mom kept her eyes on the tv. I watched for a reaction, but she gave none.
So I walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder shaking her a bit, to get her attention.

"Mom?" I said, shaking her shoulders roughly.

Why isn't she answering me?

"Mom" I said more quieter.

My mom stayed frozen.

All of the sudden her head slowly turns towards me, and she mouthed the word 'GO'. It was something that only happens in horror movies, which made a feeling of horror light up in me. I slowly backed away, My whole body was shaking by now, I was terrified.

"Mom" I tried.

But she didn't move.

'GO' she mouthed again.

I was by the room door by now, My mom's eyes rolled to the back of her head, making me scream, crashing onto the wall.

'Go' she mouthed again.

'Go!' She yelled in a sinister voice.

My mom got up. She ran towards me, grabbed my shoulders and shook me. Screaming the same word over and over again.

"Go!".
