Hi my name is Skyler your average seventeen year old girl. Always listening to music or texting away on my phone. I had two little sisters before this shit started i loved dearly and would do anything for them but those things took them away from me. Until the apocalypse came, it changed my life forever. It changed my view of life and my attitude. Now i don't know who to trust in this fucked up world anymore. Enough of me heres how this shit all started.
DAY 1 of the apocalypse.
*ring* *ring* i shut off my alarm lazily trying to get out of bed. "Skyler breakfast is ready", my mother said as i was still finding the energy to get out of bed."Skyler!" my mom yelled . "I'm up I'm up" i groaned. I walk down stairs and sat down next to my little sister sammy who was six she had short brown hair and brown eyes. I let out a soft giggle as i see her stuff her small face with a plate full of pancakes. My mother also laughing placed a fresh plate of pancakes in front of me. " Hey mom did you hear about that virus they were talking about on the news" my other sister Suzy said walking to us.
It was pretty funny how none of us looked the same , see Suzy had long black hair that reached to her mid thigh and blue eyes. Me on the other hand i had brown hair that reached to my lower back and big brown eyes. Sammy well you know. My mother had shoulder length hair and blue eyes , and My father had big brown eyes and black hair he died when sammy was one. The fact that sammy never got to formally meet him kills me. " Yeah sweetie i heard it was bad but thats what those stupid reporters always say, they do it for attention" my mother responded. "Shit" i curse as the power goes out. "shit" sammy repeated i laughed , sammy always found away to make me laugh even at the worst.
She may have been the smallest but i got along with her the best. "Damn it" mom cursed "well good thing its still light out, will you three get the the candles from the basement please?" all three of us raced to the attic to see who gets there first. i switched the light on and the basement was filled with light." Look at all this old shit." Suzy said pointing at all our old toys and baby pictures. i walked over and saw a picture of all of us. Me, mom, dad, sammy, and suzy with a date written is black ink. "Skyler i found the candles" sammy said calling me over. I stuffed the picture in my pocked and bought the candles back up stairs along with an old game board we could play later.
......................
Night fell and we sat in the living room that would have been completely dark if it weren't for the candles. I texted my friend Cathy as my mother and sisters were playing a board game.
Me: hey whats up
Cathy: not much my mom is being such a bitch right now .
Me: lol why what happened
Cathy:the lights went out
Me:yea my house too
Cathy: really ?
Me: were sitting in the living room playing a board game lol
Cathy: sounds fun
Me:its candy land -.-
Cathy: ha g2g girly good luck on your board game ;)
Me: haha bye loser
"Ok girls, maybe its better if you guys try to get some sleep" my mom said "mommy will you tuck me in this time" sammy said with a damn puppy face not even i can resist "ugh fine" my mother groaned . We all went to bed with tired eyes and low energies. I tucked myself into to bed. My eyes felt like heavy sand bags ,and i drifted off into a deep sleep.
.................
Ahhhhh!.... I woke up to someone screaming. I turned to look at my alarm, it was 3:56 a.m who the fuck was that. I ran out my bedroom door and the screams were leading to Suzy's room. I opened the door to see something I've never though id see before. " help!" "please" "skyler help me" my sister pleaded for help as my own mother was biting down on my sisters flesh. I panicked i grabbed my sisters old baseball bat. I hesitated a little, i didn't want to swing at my mother or at least at what was once my mother. My sisters squeals of pain bought me enough courage to swing the bat at my mothers head again and again and again until she fell cold on the floor. i looked up at Suzy her eyes full of tears.
She had a huge bite mark on her arm. I felt my eyes water was she gonna turn into what my mother turned into. She whispered something but i didn't understand i was to busy dealing with the fact that my sister was bitten my mother was dead on the floor and i didn't know what to do. "The gun" she whispered " Get dads gun". I knew what she meant before my dad died he use to hunt he kept a room full of his hunting equipment ,he taught me how to use most of it but when he died we never opened it again. i slow tear rolls down my face as i rush to get to the room full of hunting gear. "mommy is that you ?" a tired sammy says as she walks to me. "no its me skyler baby um.. i need you to stay here ok" she nodded in response ok. I got the gun leaving sammy behind to rush to suzy only to find she wasn't there.
