Among the Dead

Episode 1

"Alexis! Get in here!" yells my mom.

"Yes? What do you need?" I ask.

"Look on the news." she says.

I look at the TV and there is a broadcast about crazy people going around and...eating other people...

"Some people describe these people as zombies and that there should be walls built to protect other people. We now go to an eyewitness." the news lady says.

"Thank you Barb...I am here with Sarah, who says that she witnessed these people first hand. Sarah?"

"Look...these people...these...things...they aren't human. I saw them devour my best friend. I saw decaying flesh! These are- ZOMBIE!!!!!!!" she screams and runs away. My mom and I watch in horror as the monster devours the interviewer and then goes for the camera man.

"OH MY GOD!!!! CINDY!!!" Barb screeches. "Mom!" I cry and hug her.

"Mom...I'm scared." I say.

"Its alright sweetheart..." she whispers softly.

I couldn't go to sleep that night. I kept on seeing the interviewer getting pounced by the walker. (eeee I used a walking dead reference...well...ish...i just said walker...shut up dont judge me. ... ur welcome!)

"Alexis! We have a day to pack up everything we need. They are moving us to a place where we will be safe. So hurry up!" she yelled.

I start packing up clothes...makeup...phone and "necessities" (btw I just say that word cuz I am 1 too lazy to write it and 2 am not comfortable with writing it. but girls...you should know wat I mean!")

and I can't forget about my deodorant... just because the world is ending...doesn't meen that I can't still smell nice!

"Let's go !" mom yells.

We hop in the car and drive to a fort-ish looking thing. We are given a tour the rules with a group and shown our houses. We have power. We have water. We have beds. There's a mall. I am in heaven. My best friend, Amanda lives across from me. My three other friends, Katelyn, Annabelle, and Lucia down the street, and my crush, Jake, living right next door. Also my enemy, Lillian (Lily) lives right next to my bestie.

Jake Smith...athletic...sexy...and funny.

(btw if you want to know what Lexi [Alexis] looks like...look at the cover.)

I doubt that he would ever want to be with me...I mean...we're complete opposites...I'm lazy...and not pretty. Anyway...we built walls to keep them out. A few however, somehow, found their way in. We found out it was a group of people who wanted the town to themselves. The called themselves, The Truth. We called them as individuals Liars. And they eventually started calling themselves that as well. One day a look out spotted a large herd of the dead and everyone was freaking out. We didn't know what to do. I gathered teenagers and kids and brought them to the roof of an apartment to work on a plan.

"What are we going to do?" asked Amy. (Amanda)

"I don't know." I say.

"Then why are we here?" asks Lynn. (Katelyn)

"Really Lynnie?" Anna says trying to defend me. (Annabelle)

"We need to think of a way to survive this herd. For everyone to survive this herd. Any suggestions?" I say.

"Can't we just stay up here?" says Lily.

"True...but what are we going to do all the other times? And not everyone is going to fit." I say.

"How about we just shoot them all?" says a boy.

"I don't think we have enough ammo." I say.

"How about we run to the forest?" Amy pipes in.

Everyone looks at her.

"If it gets that bad...maybe..." I say.

"Lexi...why are you shooting down ideas?" Lily yells.

Everyone looks at her.

"I'm not. I have a bit of a plan. And I need side ideas in order for it to work." I tell her.

"And what is this plan of yours." she asks smugly.

I stare at her.

"Not dying."
I hope you guys liked that. I am so sorry that it's long but I really want these to seem like episodes. Sooo...again...I have seriously been thinking about how to start it, character development, names, and a little bit of giggles while still keeping the story serious. Kinda like The Walking Dead. I love that show and if you are for serious reading this author's note...follow me...vote...whatever is cool these days. Tehe I sound like an old lady. Bye bye meh kittens!
