Mother always said to stay away from  everything and everyone, i never listened.. i kept doing the same thing i wanted to do. but then after i just got introuble. big trouble.. sometimes i thought oh its not that bad til i broke my mothers favorite vase. I always hated the-

Grace - Emma!
Emma- eh hi..

Emma- n-nothing..

(she grabs the book out of my hand and gasps)
Grace- oh im so sorry..
Emma- its alright just next time ask..
Grace- but i did ask, i asked what you were doin.
Emma - you know what i mean.
Grace- right..
Emma-Are you going somewhere?
Grace- i am, dont you know about the party?
Emma- no, i could just tell becuase your wearing a sparkly red and black dress, with very intense heels. OF COURSE I KNEW.
Grace- are you going!
Emma- no thanks.. i have other things to do, besides you can get all men in the dorm, maybe youll Even get Chad.
(i winked at her and she smiled with a little giggle. Grace was always the intense boy crazy type, she can get any man she desires with in a snap. im suprised she was ever my friend, i mean she has been my friend since third grade no! scratch that best friend!! i guess im just lucky. )
Grace - Aright your Lose, if you need me ill be at Jennys getting my hair done, and then at 6 the party starts. 11 it ends. ill come home dont worry, i dont wanna get my beautiful baby girl upset!
Emma- babygirl is tired Plus parties are never a thing to me.
Grace- Just hang here, ill be back soon! Cya.

Time: 11:39 {past the party}

(As i woke up from a nap. i looked at my timer, 11:39.. "fuck.. Grace should be home by now, i know she wouldnt stay the night at someones house.." i grabbed my phone and looked for a call or text, none.. "oh jesus.." i jumped out of bed and grabbed my jacket, me heading towards the door i heard a noise, i looked at the door nob and slowly stepped towards the peaking hole. "Grace is that you?" Suddenly Grace opens the door and falls to floor.)

Grace- please.. help me..
Emma- Grace!
( as i picked her up, blood was dripping on the floor. scratches were all over her, her dress torn. i shut the door and started to panic)
Emma- whats going on!
Grace- Theres something out ther Emma! dont open the door keep it locked..
Emma- WHats out there..
Grace- they did this to me i tried to run way but i couldnt there so bad Emma..
Emma - Whats out there Grace!
Grace- look out the window..

(i look at her and look at the window, i hesitated and started to step toward the window, i pull the sheets away from the window and my eyes widen, Men Women, children.. were being ripped into shreds, and turned into these creatures, i looked back at Grace and she started to cry. Me looking back again at the creatures they started to turn the students, teachers, what is going on i asked myself..)

Grace- were going to die.
Emma- what? no!
Grace- we will, those things will catch us, and they will kill us..
Emma- Grace! look at me they wont hurt us. i wont let them touch you i promise..
Grace- you do promise..
Emma- i do.
Grace- how are we going to survive if these things are out there! They will break that door down in a second we have nothing to fight them off with!
Emma- Grace. i have things that you dont expect me to have.
Grace- what do you mean..
Emma-well..

(i come over to my bed and pull out a large rectangular box. i open the box and grab my pistol and 2 shotguns.)
Grace- you had those!?
Emma- i did. i knew something would happen, just didnt think it was this type of thing..
(i hand her the pistol and she looks at me for a second)
Emma- do you know how to use this..
Grace- no i dont. im a cheerleader not a hunter.
Emma- We dont have time for this Grace.. Get what you need were getting out of here. We still have the mini fridge, whats in it?
Grace- Beer, Sandwiches, Cheese, Ham, Water, Uh.. i think there was some salads in there.
Emma- grab it all, put it in your backpack, we need all the food we have, i dont want others steal it theres no way we can trust anyone now.
Grace- how do you know all about this stuff?
Emma- well um i watch to much Walking dead, kinda think the zombie shit is real now, but in alot of different ways.
Grace- you think.
Emma- i know. i really know.

(a few minutes later i started to pack my bag and put pants on and a long sleeve shirt on with leather boots, to know that something like this is going to happen, i just knew it would. I put a couple things i really needed in my bag, a radio, not a phone.. sadly, The food we had left, we split it that way our bags were even with weight, i grabbed a towel for each of us and stuff it in the front pocket the towel was used for a blanket we couldnt use a actual blanket it was to big so i grabbed the towel, i taped the shot guns to our backs and it kinda worked never thought it would, i made sure it was on safety, I grabbed some money becuase I new we would run out of food. Grace came up with the idea to get the money that way we can use it with fire, it burns faster, and not only that we can use it to get food from Machines. as we started packing i noticed there were cars being ruined but one car that wasnt ruined was a Chevy Truck, we have to make the best of it, you see we were in the back of the building so half the cars were on the front side of the building. AS i kept packing Grace was aching an she was still bleeding her clothes were stained with Blood, I looked at her and walked over to her. "let me get you out of this dress becuase no way your getting a boy like that" she nodded and i lift her dress up, I saw the scratches on her they were pretty deep, i didnt know what i was going to til i remembered about the cloth i had to make my blankets. i grabbed the cloth and started to wrap her up, it kinda worked. she felt better after that, i put her in the same clothes i had, a long sleeve shirt, pants, and leather boots. she actually looked good but besides that she was hurt so that ment we would have to move slow when we were running. it was close to 4:00, getting brighter outside. we wanted to wait til the sun came up that way we could see the road, the other people, where we were headed. we had no where to go now it was just her and me, i think we were gonna learn alot. but one thing i knew is tha we werent alone, and that there were othere people out there, good, bad, reckless to survive this mess. )
(i picked my bag up and went over to see what Grace packed, and man i was surprised.)

Cloth
Batterys
Food
Water
Towel
Flashlight
Toothbrush
mirror
brush
ponytails
wire from the hangers

(she sure knew what she was thinking.. i think she actually was scared, What was she scared of? i mean yes those things were out there but we can survive i know it. she put them things in her bag like she knew we were gonna actually need them, im proud.
i smiled and put on my jacket and taped my elbows and knees, my stomach to. that way when they bite me or Grace they wont hurt us. i looked at Grace again and she looked at me with a sigh)

Grace - are you ready?
Emma- Are you?
Grace - you know that anwser.
Emma- lets make a run for it..
