Dread

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

Reader's P.O.V

I sighed in relief as I finished all the paperwork my boss gave me and laid back in my chair closing my eyes. I was the last person in the office since I had to stay over night. I opened my eyes as soon as I heard the news on the little television in my office, I directed my eyes to the television and my mouth fell agape to the news I was hearing and seeing. I saw a person dead and being eaten from what look like another person but it looked inhuman which kinda freaked me out.

"What ever this is, it is dangerous! Please stay away and keep your self indoors and keep your doors locked! I repeat do NOT get near these dangerous creatures!"

Then the video was over, I didn't know what to do. I had to get home and see my husband and children.

I then heard a very loud boom and I quickly went over to the very tall glass window and looked out to see a building caught on fire and ambulances with the police cars rushing towards the building.

I slowly backed away from the window and heard groaning coming from outside the door of the whole office.

I ducked down and slowly crawled my way to my office desk and opened one of the drawers and pulled out a cloth that covered an object. I quickly took off the cloth and it revealed a gun, "Never thought I would use this" I shook my head from the thought and grabbed the little pack of clams for the gun, putting some of the clams inside the gun and got up slowly making my way towards the door.

I put my back against the wall while hold the gun in my right hand and slowly putting my other hand on the door nob. Slowly beginning to turn the nob I heard the groaning getting closer to the door, "Shit" I took my hand off the nob and the thing that was groaning quickly pushed open the door and ended up falling in front of the doorway. I quickly took action and grabbed the door nob while quickly closing the door leaving the creature inside to groan and bang on the door. "That was close..well at least I didn't need to waste a bullet on that thing"

I began to walk again consciously, I checked and didn't see any of those things around. I sighed in relief and put my hand down that was holding the gun so now the gun was resting in my hand at my waist level. I walked over to the exit of the building but then something or someone took a hold of my neck causing me to drop my gun on the ground.

I started to panic because I couldn't breath and I dropped my gun so I couldn't shoot this fucker, I started to kick and he just tighted his arm around my neck which caused me to scream.

That was the biggest mistake I could ever make.

The creatures from outside the exit heard me and looked towards me and the strange person who still had their arm around my neck.

There was a whole horde of them, like a thousand, no it looked like a millon. The person that was holding me released my neck and turned me around so I was facing him. I got paralyzed, he was handsome as hell

But his next action shocked me alot. He quickly opened the exit door and threw me out into the horde and quickly ran to a car while the most of the horde were distracted on me he was able to make it to the car and quickly drive off leaving me for my doom.

The horde surrounded me.

My flesh was being chewed and ripped apart from my body while I screamed and cried in agony, it was too much pain. The horde was bitting down on every single little piece on my fleshy body, all I could see was my blood and the freaky faces of the horde with my flesh in their teeth.

I couldn't feel my body anymore like it went numb but then the horde slowly backed away and began to leave, leaving me very confused but at the same time relieved.

Until I looked at my hands. They were pale and had blood gushing out of them. I tried to scream but all that came out was a groan. But the horde left and I was the only one here now, so the only person who could make a sound like that would be...

Me?

I tried to scream again but yet again only a groan came out. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I couldn't do anything.

"Is this going to be my life now?"

But I don't understand, how come I still have my thoughts and I could control myself, well my "new" self.

"Can the others do the same?"

I stopped asking myself questions and accepted being a dead one because I don't really have a choice.

I began walking, well more like walking like a grandma with back problems because I was slow. But I still walked anyways.

Walking...

Walking...

Walking...

"Oh boy, this is gonna take a while..."
