Dear Zombie

Chapter 5

I woke up before anyone else had with sweat dripping off my forehead my breathe heavy and head running with thoughts. I've had a nightmare about my dad, when he came  trembling  into my room falling to the ground then it was like everything went blurry after that. i decided to change the subject i stood up and grabbed my gym bag unzipping it and pulling out a bottle of water taking a swig out of it to drench my thirst i walk up stairs as quietly as i can to finally see the morning light as i step into the hallway I here a faint snoring in the distance i supposed it was Noah sleeping on the couch but i went just to double check i stand in front of him looking at his features. Noah was only a couple of years older than us he had a sharp jawline with a little button nose like Harp, a bit of of stubble and dark brown hair similar to mine. It was funny watching him sleep, i remember he used to sleep talk when he was younger but he grew out of it. I turn around as Harp comes up the stairs with a blanket wrapped around her. " morning" i say 

"morning, when did you get up?"

"only a couple of minutes ago is anyone else up?"

Harp nodes no

"hey, we should prank him" whispers Harp

"we'll wake him up"

"NO he'll kill you!" i say

" oh you worry to much"

She steps over to Noah and starts making gagging noises like a zombie then pretends to bight his neck he jumps surprisingly with no weapon and screams me and Harp start cracking up laughing.

"Why the hell did you do that for i thought i was bitten!" he screamed 

Me and Harp stop laughing and stare at him seriously i lowered my head and curtsied saying sarcastically "my apologies sir gale" in a poor British accent

he just rolled his eyes and mumbled "whatever" he got up  (eventually) dragged himself to the kitchen, as we followed he went to to the fridge and grabbed out a piece of pizza and nibbled on it in front of us.

"are you going to give us a piece?" says Harp 

"oh, sorry there's none left and this piece is for me so, no" Noah stuffed the whole half finished piece in his mouth and chewed

"your a pain in the ass" says Harp going to the cupboard and grabbing out a packet of chips and some chocolate bars. 

"here have some you need to keep your strength up" she says throwing a bar to me

i open it up and take off a small piece off and nibbled, it was amazing, it melted in my mouth making it explode with  sugar taste, and persuades, in our house we only eat healthy alternatives to chocolate witch was just grounded wheat grass with brown colouring, it tasted like crap.

"I'll go wake the other two up, surly there starving" i say

Harp and Noah nod and keep eating silently.

I walked down to the basement and turned on the light to see Tess and mum getting blinded by the light.

"Bridget, was that necessary?" says mum

"sorry, i came to tell you were going soon"i whisper back

Tess moans something into her pillow that i couldn't make out, i go back up and let Tess and mum wake up a bit. 

"their getting up just still a bit tired" Noah and Harp are still standing at the table talking but they turn just to nod and carry on talking about the government and pm's, the usual stuff they talk about.

As Tess and mum finally get up we decided it was best to start getting ready to go, we packed our bags full of food, water and a butt lot of weapons that came from Harp's Dad that used to be a Marine but sadly died in south Africa a couple of years back.

"okay we ready?" sighs Tess

"I guess so?" Says Harp.

"Okay just- stick together and watch each others back and we'll be fine" Tess turns around and i swear i heard her say 'maybe' as she did.

Tess unlocked the door and opened it up to show still nothing but fog.

"It's so foggy i cant see a-"

"Shh!" Tess hisses cutting off Noah mid sentence.

I knew that Tess and Noah used to go out but it didn't work out so they broke up but still decided to be friends, I've always thought that relationships were weird.

As we stepped deeper into the rotten fog all i could see coming next in my mind was disaster, Harp must of seen my worry so she grabbed my hand tight looking at me with her next to black eyes. Suddenly i saw a slight figure in the distance, "shit walker" said Tess mum stepped in front of her quite confidently " listen just walk past slowly and-".... she stopped mid sentence then was dragged to the ground and pulled into the darkness, my body started to run after her like she was my only beacon of light left. "MUM!" i scream into the fog as hot tears fill my eyes. i look around to see nothing but blurry fog, suddenly hear a faint call of my name and i started to run towards it i look to the ground to see blood, cold, dark blood "mum?".
