Hello and welcome to the very long prologue of my story. I hope you enjoy it! *Disappears into a cloud of glitter*
(Me from the future: So this was when I first started writing, it's really bad and short but I promise it gets better. I promise.)

I toss and turn in my bed trying to fall asleep as it isn't my shift for lookout. However my evil brain is to busy buzzing with the events that had happened in the last few weeks, my life had been completely normal but then it all went sideways and turned into a nightmare.

    I sit around the T.V with my family watching the news, and a cheery news lady comes on and she begins to speak in an obvious fake enthusiastic voice. 
"As you can see behind me people are lining up around the block to get this new drug which extends the lifespan of a person." 
All of a sudden I hear a  blood curdling scream from behind the overly perky anchorwomen.  Something jumps on top of her and knocks her down.  The camera focuses on the creature and it's horrifying. 
It's a person but something else internally almost like a rabid animal. The skin on it's body is stretched to thin so you can see every single bone. It's mouth and clothes are  covered in blood and it's eyes are blood shot red with giant pupils that causes it to have no irises.  It stared at the camera for a second breathing heavily then jumps at the camera... the screen turns black.  My mom and dad jump up and start running around the house boarding up the windows and doors.

    I can't sleep no matter how hard I try so I get up and walk to the bathroom and look in the mirror. My frizzy red hair is an absolute mess and my pale face is dotted with so many freckles it isn't even funny.  I stare into my bright vivid green eyes that have gold around my pupils. I was about to start my senior year in high school when everything went wrong. I start to comb my hair so it isn't so much of a mess. My mom walks in "Riley come have breakfast" she says.  "Ok I'll be right there" I reply.

    I head into the kitchen for breakfast and then I hear a loud banging. I hear my dad yell "THEY'RE TRYING TO BREAK IN, EVERYONE TO THE BACK!"  I run to my little brother's room and start to shake him awake "Come on Jasper we have to go they are breaking in!"  Jasper springs from his bed and we run to our mom at the back.  She holds a knife and a backpack with all the things that we need to survive out there.  My dad comes running down the hallway with his gun "We need to get out of here as fast a possible" he pants.  Just then I hear a sickening crunch... they have broken in.  I yank open the door and everyone runs out and I slam the door and run after them.  We sprint down an alley way and that's when we I them.

    They look exactly like that one did on that news cast except they were dozens of them.  "RUN!" I screech and we all began to run in the opposite direction.  My brain is going haywire with all the worst possibilities and I look behind me and I see it, the worst possibility ever, my brother is cornered my one of them.

    I rush over to Jasper as fast as my clumsy legs will carry me.  I grab on of the back of it and drag it backwards, it struggles and I am forced to let go.  I see my brother scamper away and I am so focused on him I don't see it hit me.


Everything goes black.
