Live like legends {Dylmas}

Prologue

God promised the dead would come back to life,I didn't expect it would be like this...

These thoughts flash through my mind as I shove my bag with anything I can find-cans of food,water and knives. Once I'm finished I walk to the opposite end of the store where my parents are. I see their bags full of supplies but they are admiring an object.

"What is that?" I ask them.

"Look,Dylan," my father hands me a small chain "It's gold. That's lucky right?"

"I guess so..." I chuckle.

"Here," he puts it around my neck "For as long as you wear this,nobody can hurt you. I promise."

I smile "Thanks."

At that moment I hear a loud noise. I jump frantically as my mother places her hands on my shoulders to soothe me- "Listen baby,it's just the monsters. They'll be gone soon," I was fifteen,but she talked to me like I was about three. It was still comforting. "Me and dad are going to see what it is. I want you to stay here. I need you to stay here with the supplies. Can you do that?"

"I wanna go with you..." I start sobbing like a baby.

"No,Dylan. Stay here," she kisses my forehead "We love you. Stay here."

I nod as they walk off to see what all the noise was. I lean against the supplies with my gun in my hand. I'd only killed four monsters,dad told me to only pull the trigger on emergencies as the bullets attracted them. We ran from home once our neighbourhood became infested with them and we've been on the run ever since.

A loud piercing scream fills my ears as I feel my stomach sink. I sprint in the direction the screams were being amplified from.
"MUM! DAD!?" I cry until I reach them. They're overthrown by monsters. I don't even think as I shoot every single one in my path. Anger boiling in my veins until each and everyone of them is dead. Once I've completed the task I look at my parents who lay there motionless. My mother has a large bite in her stomach,and my father has one in his neck.

"No... No.." I fall to my knees "How am I supposed to do this without you?"

"Darling.. Listen.." My mum takes her bloody hand in mine "There's not much time left. Take the supplies and you need to find yourself a camp or somewhere to stay. You need to trust people baby,you can make it. I love you. Me and your father love you so much..."

"Don't.. Give.. Up.." My father chokes out,through his throat squirted out blood "the... Chain.."

"I won't," I wipe a tear "I love you."

"You're going to do the right thing,be brave. My beautiful brave boy," my mother smiles as she kisses my cheek,crying heavily into it "Please go. Before we turn."

"I can do it. I can stop you changing..." I choke out.

"No dear,we're okay." She hands me her weapon "Please,Dylan baby it's time for you to go."

"I love you..." I cry over and over as I hear my father changing. I sprint away as the tears stream down my face.

I'd lost everything. In that second everything I ever loved was gone
