Chapter 1: A "normal" day

I knew I had to muster my courage.
Glancing about at the hands reaching out for me, cool sweat poured down my forehead as I frantically pulled myself up. One wrong move and I would be eaten alive and turn into them.
Collecting myself, I began to climb up the rusted metal, fear propelling me up as the gnashing of teeth beneath me increased every second.
Everything was so different. Just hours ago, everything was normal. People were strolling around around the streets like they did every other day until it happened.
A single piercing scream was all it took for chaos and destruction to ensue. The troubling part was when a "man" letched himself onto his victim, a teenage girl with blond hair and striking blue eyes before biting down into her neck, blood spluttering out as the teen screamed hysterically. Us, onlookers were frozen, shocked.
But before long, others like the man came bounding towards us. It was hell with blood splattered on the abandoned vehicles and buildings coated with red. Suddenly, the fallen body of the first victim stood up. The teen had revived! Having watched lots of science fiction and horror movies, I knew exactly what was going on and raced away with them trailing after me.
That was how I ended up climbing this ladder. Looking down, I let out a startled cry. Those things..... They.... They.... Could climb!!! Forcing my sore and aching limbs to propel myself faster, I soon reached my destination. Lifting myself out of the chasm and clabbering out, I grabbed hold of the cap of the exits and slammed it down before tightly screwing it shut.
Sucking in a deep breathe, I shakily stood up and glanced down to observe the destruction of other people running for their lives on the streets below like prey running away from its predator.
Knowing that I was safe for now, I quickly surveyed the roof top and found a spot to rest. Sitting down against the hard wall, wild thoughts raced through my mind.
What in the world was going on?! Where was the military? How could this have happened? So many lives are lost... Are my friends still alive kicking and breathing? Would I ever be reunited with them? My mind was in chaos.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar chiming. My phone! Gingerly pulling my phone out of my pocket, I noticed that it was my best friend who called. Quietly answering the call, I was bombarded with a fury of questions as soon as the call was accepted.
" ARE U OK?!! WHERE ARE YOU??????? DID U GET BIT??? " His concerned voice rang out.
Nervously twirling my hair I replied, "Yea... I'm ok how bout u? I'm just hiding on the roof of like blk155..."
Suddenly a loud thud made me look up. Those monsters.... They.... They....
