Rose's P.O.V

"Well I was pretty lonely," I said thinking back to the beginning two years ago...

(FLASHBACK TIME IS BACK!)

I woke up with a huge headache. I look around and the gymnasium and it's in rubles. The ceiling is broken with pieces of it on the floor. I put my hand behind my head and brought it back in front of my face. It had blood on it.

I must have hit my head probably on the rubble...

I stood up and looked around for any sign of life. Nothing. My worst fear realized. Waking up one day and... you're all alone. No one there to help you.I started to cry. I called out for help if anyone was there but no one answered. I heard footsteps behind me I turned around hoping it to be someone. But I turned around and no one was there. I got up and looked around the room but I didn't see anything just the light shining in from the hole in the roof, it was the only light.

"Hello?" I said with a shaky voice. I just heard ruffling in the dark parts of the room.

"W-whos there?" I said my heartbeat screaming in my ear. There were multiple sounds circling me. I was almost turning around in circles trying to see what I was facing. Then something pounced at me. I jumped out of the way just in time. It was this zombie looking Mofo, and more of them surrounded the first one and started walking toward me. I looked around at my surroundings and found a metal baseball bat. I swung it at the first one and his jaw was dislocated. It was pretty disgusting. I stood up and hit all of them in the legs, breaking the bones. I ran as fast as I could down the halls of the school. More and more were approaching I ran and hid in the janitors closet. 10 minutes pass and I don't hear anything so I ran for it outside. When I looked at the world I knew. I was doomed. The clouds were dark and the buildings were in rubble I wanted to cry right then and there knowing I might not be able to see my friends and family ever again....

(Flashback end)

"And ever since then I was alone, until a year later when I met that loser," I said thinking of Jacob. I looked over at Gene who had a sad look on his face.

"Rose if I-" Gene started.

"Don't apologize for something you can't fix. It's too late to change what happened now. Anyway, How about you?" I said trying to change the subject.

Gene's P.O.V

"Well.."

(Gene's Flashback timmmmmeeee)

My mom, dad, and brother were all at the table eating dinner.

"You know there's supposed to be a nasty storm tonight." My mother said. As if on cue I heard thunder and lighting from outside.

"That sounds bad," I said. My Dad was about to respond when he started coughing hysterically. "Dad? Dad, are you ok?" I said patting his back. Then my Mother started coughing too. Their faces were turning into this rotted color. Dante and I were yelling their names concerned. "t-take. you-r brother-" she said trying to speak through her coughs. "P-promise to p-protect him-" she said before her face and body transformed into a gross looking form. I knew I had to listen to my mother I ran to Dante.
"Dante, run to the basement and lock yourself in, no matter what you hear don't open it unless I knock in 6 times do you understand," I said. He nodded his head and I told him to run. I looked around the room for something to use. I saw the knife in the kitchen and I ran for it they followed.
