Devastation (#Wattys2017) [On Hold]

Chapter 2 : Bites And Bruises

My mum drops to the floor. She's lost too much blood I comfort my mum until she takes her last breathe a tear slowly slips down my face I close my mums eyes and lay her down.

That's when she opened her eyes again, I try and speak to her, but she doesn't seem to understand. She grabs me and tries to bite me, I'm confused, I don't understand one second ago she was dead and now she's... Alive.

I grab her, but she keeps trying to bite me, I get up to get away, but she grabs my leg so I stumble and fall. I pull my leg out of her grasp, I stand up but then she grabs my shoulder so I push her down again so she falls and lands on the pipe in my step-dads head. She tries to get up, but she can't I leave the house and mourn her death, but she wasn't dead, she was alive and walking but she seemed dead.

Three Months Later

I drive my knife through his skull piercing his brain, killing him instantly. The world has fallen and I'm getting the hang of killing Biters or Zombies. Some people call them a different name but I prefer biter because they bite you and kill you. I have no feeling for them anymore, I used to think about their families and how the family would feel but I'm passed that. When my mum died it gave me the strength to realise what this world has really become. 'Hell on earth' Emily used to call it, but I lost her as well only a few weeks ago sometimes I can't stop thinking about the people I have lost but sometimes I do stop and put myself first.

I've learnt the rules of the wasteland everyone is for themselves you kill or be killed I've also learnt everything about the biters. If a biter bites you then you're screwed, but it depends where. Emily was bitten on her wrist so I amputated her arm and she didn't turn. Our camp was overrun by biters and I couldn't save her.

I'm not sure if Emily is dead, but I presume she is. I miss Emily but I have to move on. I have also learnt that if a biter scratch, you then you still turn If you're killed by a human you still turn and the only way to stop somebody turning or killing biters is by stabbing them in the head.

As I make my way through the wasteland I come across a few more biters three to be precise I take out my machete and go to work. Decapitation, Stabbed in the head, Head chopped in half. I've gotten used to the killing then it didn't take long for me to get used to it.

I turn the corner to see a gun shop I enter with caution. I check all the shelves and cabinets and there's nothing left I can see a locked cabinet. I walk up to the cabinet to see a pistol and a rifle inside. I hit the lock a few times with my machete attracting a few biters. The lock finally breaks and I take out the Glock 19 and the AR-15 there are 3 clips for the Glock and 4 Magazines for the AR-15 each 30 rounds. I reload my weapons and go to head out but as I turn to face the door a herd of biters comes crashing through the windows ...

Will Lola survive the herd?

What will happen to Lola if she survives?

Will Lola escape the shop?
