Zombie Terror (book 1)

chapter 7 - settling in

After the all calming down scene, I finally came back inside. I am still pissed about everything. I don't even know why I'm pissed but I am.

"Alright, who wants a turkey and cheese sandwich?" I looked up from my plate noticing Matt holding a sandwich in his hand offering us it.

"I'll have it." I said softly, everyone looked towards me, I pursed my lips. I haven't talked since I came back inside. They must be a little surprised. Matt shook out of it and gave me the sandwich. I gave him a smile and took a bite of the sandwich.

After an awkward silence Matt finally spoke up.

"So what should do today guys?" He asked glaring at each of us especially me. I shrugged.

"Um I dunno Matt, we are in the middle of the apocalypse. What should we do today?", Randy said sarcastically, I snickered so did everyone else.

Electricity is being fucked up today. So we can't do anything but read books or play board games which I think is boring.

"Can we go to the beach? I know we don't have swimsuits but we can play frisbee." Bryce asked and Matt nodded. Bryce says yes to himself and fist-bumped Mike. After that Mike and Bryce ran to one of the room to get something.

"You sure you don't want to come?" I asked Abby who refused to go to the beach. She shook her head.

"I'll be fine, I don't like sand. You know that." She explained, I understand she hates sand but I don't want to be the only girl at the beach with a lot of crazy boys.

"Okay, well see yah." I ran off to catch up with the boys. All decided to take off their shirts which I think is okay especially for Matt.

"Throw the frisbee." I rose my arms at Mike and he threw the frisbee towards me. I laughed when I caught it and threw it to Randy.

I am happy to finally recover from the incident at that store. I needed to keep my mind off of things especially something like this happens. I am so grateful for these people.

After playing around and everything we heard a scream inside of the house. I panicked and ran towards the house.

What if it's Abby. I got to get to her. Matt and Randy ran past me to get inside of the house as the two boys stood. The guys went in the house. I followed them and noticed a walker or zombie is grabbing her by the leg. She was struggling to kick him off. I widen my eyes. Randy went from behind pulling the guy away from Abby as Matt pulled Abby.

Out of mind, I grabbed a knife and ran towards the walker. I stabbed him in the shoulder.

"Claire, what the fuck are you doing." Randy yelled but accidentally fell back after the walkers legs slid out of his hands. After I stabbed the walker it was still growling for Abby. I furrowed my eyebrows, he can't feel that.

"Claire, kick him off!" I heard Mike exclaimed behind me. As he said, I kicked the walker off. It crashed into the coffee table. It got back up coming towards me instead.

"Shit." I muttered backing away. I backed away as far as possible still I felt the staircase. I pursed my lips and watched it come towards me. Blood was throbbing on the side of its head. Mixed red and yellow all over the wound making me want to gag.

Suddenly Bryce comes out of no where tackling the walker onto the ground with a knife. The walker growled and snarled loudly reaching for Bryce who is on top of him ready to stab him. Bryce—with no hesitation—stabbed it in the right eye. Infected blood started to ooze out of its right eye.

I stood in shock. My jaw dropped.
Bryce took a deep breath and got off of the walker looking at each of us.

"Well, that was fun.", he let out a breath.

What the hell.
