LIfe as we know it

*chapter 1*

Skittles POV.

The sky's were purple and the zombies were approaching. They had told us about this happening. The screwed up government had been handing out posters on how to kill zombies and now it was happening, I was in a F 150 extended cab with my cousins Austin and Destiny. I had a pare of binoculars in my hands and I was spying threw the trucks tinted windows, towards where the zombies would be arriving soon. An hour ago I was standing on my roof looking at a huge blob coming towards the house from a couple blocks away,I had already figured it was the zombies and I was right. Im all ways right.

So my names Skyler, but I'm called Skittles by everybody. Im 15 I have long hair, I'm about 5.3" I wear black clothes almost all the time. Occasionally you'll see me wearing a hot pink shirt or a purple one. So right now your probably thinking about the first few sentences about the zombies. Yes the apocalypse is here. The governments been handing out posters on how to kill zombies for a while now. So me and my family have been preparing ourselves for this. And when I say my family I'm talking about my cousins Austin and destiny, my best friend Mariah my other best friend Megan. My parents Cheri and Andy, and my aunt Laura and uncle Rick. my uncle Rick is 27,my aunt Laura is 26, my parents are 32, my cousin Austin is also 15 and so are my two best friends. My cousin Destiny is 13.

"Austin, I have to run in the house and grab some weapons, and see what my parents are going to do. Stay hunkered down in the car, I'll be right back." Austin nodded and Destiny just stared into space. I sighed and took the risk of getting out of the car and running in the house. Checking my surroundings to make sure I wasn't followed, I noticed as I was walking down the stairs that we had no power....great.... Now it would take me longer to do what i had to do. I was going to start yelling for my dad but I decided that that's not a good idea. I walked by the kitchen and notice a little group of zombies having a little conference. I was debating on weather to quietly walk by or go stab them in the back. I just scurried to the stairs. Okay my room was to the right..... Instead I ran right past my room to my parents and went to there dresser, to grab a knife. We have 3 knifes....why is there only 1?!?!?! I just grabbed it and went to the other side of the room to grab me a gun from underneath the bed. My special gun pink barrel. I ran to my room and found one of my backpacks in the closet and filled half of it with Sweatshirts, jeans, and shorts and zipped it up . I walked around my room doing a double take to make sure I had everything. I spoted my purse and grabbed that to. I notice a hot pink note on my bed. I picked it up and read:

"Hey Skyler, it's mommy I just want you to know that we're okay and that..... We went to the safe house. We waited as long as we could for you. I'm sorry. We left you food and weapons and stuff to survive for a while. Where at the safe house in Florida, the Miami one. I love you keep safe."

They freaking left me! I can't believe it! I didn't bother crying. It's pointless right now. I stuffed the note in my pocket and went to the pantry which is nowhere near the kitchen. I grabbed some cereal, bread, a 6 pack of Pepsi, some juice. This would be enough for us survive for a little while. I peaked around the corner and saw that the zombies were still conferencing. What idiots. I quickly walked by and ran out to the truck. Austin saw me and opened the door. I threw the backpack in the back seat.

" Hey you guys alright?" I asked," yeah we're fine.... Where's our parents?" I sighed . I knew they were going to ask me that. " they left without us...I don't know where your parents are, but we need to make up a pl-" buzzzzz my phone was ringing. I flipped it open " hello?" "hey skittles it's Mariah." she said. " ohh my god hi! Where are you?!?" I asked totally exited she was still alive.

" I'm at my house, listen bro there are zombies all over..... Where are you at?"I didn't answer automatically I shoot a glance over at Austin." I'm at my house, my parents left and I have my cousins with me in the truck. we need to met somewhere and get together because we can go to the safe house and met up with my parents in Florida." I was out of breath. That was a long sentence. There was a short pause. " okay I'm up for that, my parents are gone anyways." She said. "Okay so I guess we can just hit M- 59 and just stop and jump out of the car when you see us. Make sure you grab some food and weapons, stuff like that. Be on M-59 within 5 mins." I mumbled into the phone keeping sight on basically everything." Alright see you in about 15 minutes." Then the line went dead."alright change of plans.... Were going to hit M-59 and met up with my friend Mariah. She's going to bring a little more food water weapons ect. Okay?" Okay so Des still looked a little freaked, but she had more color I her face and was moving a little more." Okay, I dig." She said. I knew this child was not too interested in the whole end-of-the-world-cuz-the-zombies-are-going-to-eat-our-heads-off thing. But she was a tough little cookie. Obviously there are no adults around.....which means no cops. I put the truck in gear and drove down River st. I hoped on to M-59 and we were on our way.

*5 minute later*

I the floored the truck, but I quickly had to skid to a stop cuz I saw a little slick black car speeding down the M-59. Then it kicked the whole back end in front of its self." Holy fuck!" I said accidentally. I jumped out of the car an ran over to the black one, on the other side of the free way, and ripped the door open." Hey chick, what's happinin?" Mariah said. I was still confused on how she got the car to turn that way, when she also said," hey we need to hurry, help me get these bags and ill tell you in the car." I grabbed 2 bags which meant she only had to grab one. And hurried over to the truck. I hoped in the front seat and stopped in the gas." Alright so we need to make up a pla-" I was cut off again by my phone ringing I flipped it open" hello?" I stomped on my break which meant everyone hit the backs if the seat "skittles what the heck is going on?!?!i!" I knew she was going to act like this. She also was not that into the whole - end-of-the-world-cuz-zombies-are-going-to-eat-our-heads-off thing either. She was like destiny. But not as still faced either." We'll zombi-" I was cut off again" there are a whole bunch of dead things surrounding my house!" I shot a look over to Mariah, she nodded. Which means she got my message; check cost guards. She opened up the sun roof and hoped out."listen ill be there ASAP but for the time being grab some water, food, and weapons and stuff and put them into bags. 3 bags tops. Zombie apocalypse is here. So just sit tight for a lil bit and ill be there to get you". I looked over at Austin and destiny. Megan sounded a little relived that I was coming." Okay how long till you get here?" She asked. I hesitated and said" about 20 minutes" right when Mariah said," dude we have a problem coming at nine o' clock." I looked up and sure enough there were a flock of zombies coming our way." Make that a half hour" I said into the phone and hung up. " Alright destiny you stay in the car, let me, Mariah and Austin handle this." She nodded. I smack my hands in the dash, " Let's roll " I said and me and Austin hoped out of the car and shut our doors at the same time. Along with Mariah jumping of the roof. I lunched my self at the first zombie I saw and stabbed him strait in the head and I couldn't get my knife out so I pulled another out of my pocket an kicked my second zombie right in the gut. He stumbled but didn't fall so I dropped down to my knees and kicked my foot out in a round house kick real low. That knocked him right of his feet and he fell and smacked his face on the ground, looking over I saw Austin and Mariah holding there own battles. Mariah was on her second also and Austin was finishing his first. I looked back towered the one I was working on and decided to end this I kick him and he fell and smacked the back of his head so hard it fell of. DONE. I thought and moved on to my 3rd. I kick his leg from underneath him and he fell. Then I stabbed him in the back when I heard a scream.
