It was your average summer day, there was a heat wave going on at the time. I was painting my nails yellow whilst watching my favourite tv show when the news flashed up on screen. That's strange... I thought to myself.

"We are sorry to interrupt this show but here is an urgent message from the prime minister" The new reporter said quickly.

"There has been an outbreak of Sublincis the most deadly illness known to man. It is spreads fast and to simple terms they are zombies"

The screen went blank.

I rushed and grabbed my empty backpack and put clothes, supplies and a torch. I put my belt around my shoulder to my waist and attached my sharpest knives to it.

I ran outside and I hid behind my tree. I got a knife out and then I saw the 'things' crowd around a teenager round about my age, he had no weapons.

Suddenly without thinking I charged into the zombies and grabbed hold of the guys hand and pulled him through the crowd of zombies.

"Thanks" he panted as we ran down the street.

"Aaaaahh" we heard a girl scream.

I threw the guy a knife and motioned to the house which was the source of the scream.

"Are you serious?" he replied cowardly.

"Deadly serious"

We entered the house to find three girls, one aged about 14, one six and the other about six weeks old.

A zombie came behind them and I launched the knife at it. I grabbed the six year olds hand and the fourteen your old followed with the baby.

Two dead bodies near the fire place, too damaged to even turn were holding hands. The six year old walked over to the bodies and kissed their cheeks and whispered in their ears "Bye mummy, bye daddy" tears welling up in her eyes.

I picked up 3 small bags. In the six year olds I put a teddy, clothes and hair ties, in the babies bag I put baby milk, a pillow and a blanket and reusable diapers, in the fourteen your olds bag I put clothes, deodorant and makeup.

"anything you can defend yourself with here?" I asked the teen.

"Yep, Daddy collected samurai swords and we have knives" she said shyly.

She led me to her fathers room and pulled out the 11 samurai swords her dad had. She passed 10 to me keeping one for herself. She put it in her belt like I had.

She went to the kitchen and passed me 2 butcher knives.

I passed her 3 more samurai swords, I gave the guy 4 samurai swords and 1 butcher knife. I got 3 samurai sword and I have the sox year old a baseball bat and a butchers knife.

"Be careful with the knife okay?" I smiled at the little girl.

She nodded responsibly.

We left the house to find a safe place we could stay for the night.

After hours of searching we found a small cave.

"Let's introduce ourselves" I said akwardly breaking the silence.

"I am Melody but call me Mel" I introduced myself.

"I am James" the guy said.

"I am Addison-Mae but call me Addy-Mae if you want" the little girl spoke up.

"I am Charlotte but I prefer Lottie" The teen said quietly. "Oh and this is Meave" she added pointing to the baby.

"We'd better feed her" I said looking at the baby fiddling with the zipper on her all in one.

We put the ready made baby milk on the side so it would warm up.

Two hours later it had warmed up and we fed it to the baby.

I heard growling and grumbling and footsteps.

All I knew is we had to escape...and fast
