Tessa Milwood vs The Apocalypse

Chapter 3: The morning after

Chapter 3:
The morning after

I wake up and its about 8 o'clock. I feel something hard under my pillow and remember the bi-bi gun. I get up and check my phone, I have one message and its from Adam:

Look outside

I look outside and see nothing, so I decided to go to his room and see what that's about. But when I go to ask him, he's not there. I go downstairs and call his name; nothing. I start to worry when I hear a noise at the back door. It was a banging on the windows and I start to get nervous. I pull out my gun from my waist band; and raise it pointing at the back door as I slowly walk there.

When I reach the door I see the handle start to jiggle around a little bit; then the door opens. I see my brother burst in carrying a bunch of outdoor tools, shovels, axes, hammers, those thingys that have the spikes on the end and some other sharp objects. Now I'm really concerned on why he wanted me to look outside.

"I could use a little help here" he said as he struggled to keep all the tools in his hand. I grabbed some of them and asked, "What do we need these for?"

"Defence, you still got that gun?" He replied.

"Ya, but why do we need to defend ourselves?"

"You'll see soon enough, and good we may need to use that gun soon."

I was a little freaked out by all of this so I just nodded and went back upstairs to get dressed. I put on dark blue skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with a grey hoodie over it and just below the knee black combat boots. I put my hair in a ponytail and put my gun in my waistband against my back.

I went back downstairs to my brother and saw him putting all the tools in the back of my jeep. He spotted me looking through the window and waved me over but when I came outside he put a finger over his lips telling me to be quiet. So I quietly opened the door then closed it behind me. I walk over to him making sure not to drag my feet so I can be a quiet as possible.

"What's going on?!?" I whisper

"Not the place to talk, let's go back in side where it's safe." Safe? Safe from what? I think to myself.

I agreed and walked back inside with him, he locks the door behind us and looks out the window as if he were checking something.

"Okay so now will you tell me what's going on?!?" I ask

"I think the news will probably be more believable than me" he said as he started moving towards the T.V.

"What do you mean, you can tell me anything. I'll believe you" I said with a caring tone.

"Really anything? Fine what's going on is that there are things outside that seem to be a lot like zombies."

I sat there staring then said, " I don't believe you. Your just messing with me."

"Ugh, told you, so just watch" with that he turned on the news. It was that lady from before, Jeanine I think; but it was just her. There was no Darrel.

"There have been reports of people eating other people. These people are sick and go after the healthy people."

It showed a video of a man with pale grey skin, he had cuts and scratches all over his body. There was blood dripping from his mouth and black liquid dripping from his nose. His clothes were all cut up and he walked with kind of a limp at a slow pace. It looked like he was trying to run but couldn't. He still reached a young girl, in her twenties maybe and took a bite out of her shoulder. Blood spilled out of the wound all over her as she screamed and cried. The man pushed her to the ground and got on top of her. He started to take a bite out of her abdomen and when her pulled up there was blood and skin still attached to his mouth stringing up from her. That's how the image froze when it went back to Jeanine with a shocked face.

"As you just saw anything can happen out there. That's why we sent Darrel out there, but he has yet to return."
"The zombies got him" Adam said to me quietly.

I sat up and looked at him, "Don't be ridiculous. Zombies? Really, you believe in that crap."

"Well you just saw it, this is preparing you for what's out there" he replied.

"Now we would like to warn anyone who is not sick with this disease to stay inside and keep your doors locked. Help will be on the way, but do not try and go outside to see these very sick people for yourself. The number one thing is your safety, we will keep you posted when we get more information." When it cut to commercials Adam turned off the T.V.

"Come on, lets go." He said to me

"Where are we going?"

"We're gonna tell James and Taylor, that's what you want right?"

"Ya I guesso, lets go" I replied.

We walked outside and it was freaky quiet now that I know what could be out here. We got in the jeep, me on the passenger side with him driving the started towards Taylor's since its closer.
