I laid there propped up against a cabinet with the creature laying dead on the floor with two knives protruding from its head. Though my arm was cut wide open and I had cuts and bruises all over I seemed to be in better condition than my opponent.  He put up a good fight and to be honest I got lucky when I killed him. He was throwing me around the kitchen trashing it in the process. I clutched my arm trying to stop the bleeding and thought of what to do next. We had a plan, we were joking at the time but we were going to build fences to make our neighborhood defensible.  It seems now that wasn't an option with my mom's biy friend, who was good with tools and building, was dead . I also lost my mom and I didn't know how my brother and uncle would handle the news. First orders of business would be to get my remaining family members together an explaining what happened. "Dammit!"I shouted. I had completely forgot about my arm, which was still bleeding. I needed to get it cleaned and wrapped up, because I knew how prone to infections I was. I opened the sink, got out the hydrogen peroxide and paper towels, then poured it on my open wound. I gritted my teeth together as I poured it the first few times then when it stopped bubbling I dried it and went into the living room to get the emergency medical case from under the couch. As I got the gause out of the case I started wrapping it around my wound. When my wound was all wrapped up I started up the stairs hoping that my mom and her boyfriend haven't turned yet. I made my way into my mom's room seeing my sister was still in the same corner as I saw her before."Phoebe, are you ok?"I asked her.
"Yes, is mommy and daddy going to be ok?"she replied
I looked down for a second then looked back at her. "I'm sorry Phoebe, there is nothing we can do."
I said with a saddening expression on my face."Come on Phoebe, go into my room and wait for me."I told her
See did as I told her and walked into my room and closed the door. Now I knew my mom's boyfriend had guns some where in their room but I had no idea where. I started looking around the room for them. The first place I looked was in the closet where my luck they were in their case under some clothes. I pulled the case down but never firing a gun before I wouldn't be using them. I started my way across the hall when I heard a deathly moan from inside my parents room. I saw my mom slowly but surely sitting up her eyes as red as blood. Quickly closed the door and put my ear up to it to hear if she noticed me. Luckily my mom's boyfriend didn't seem to have been bitten just his inner chest cavity ripped out and my zombie mom seemed to be feasting on him. I headed into my room to see my uncle wide awake, (obviously pissed my sister woke him), and my brother just now stepping down from his bunk bed wondering what was going on. "Ok guys, this may sound stupid but the zombie apocalypse has come and mom and her boyfriend are dead along with the creature downstairs in the kitchen that did it."I said to them
"Tyler, your an idiot, there is never going to be a zombie apocalypse, stop trying to trick us." Logan said
"You sent Phoebe in here to wake us up for a lie, what the fuck is wrong with you!" Greg, my uncle, shouted
"I'm not tricking you!"I shouted back trying to control my anger."My mom is a zombie,  Tommy ,(her boyfriend), is dead, and I have his guns and a cut open arm. Now both of you get up, get dressed, and get anything you will need when we go. "I said authoritively. They finally noticed my arm, the guns, and all my cuts and bruises in sight.
"Do you have any proof of the zombie apocalypse Tyler."Logan asked as he looked at the gun case at my side.
"Get dressed and come downstairs to the kitchen and whatever you do don't go in our moms room." I orded them. They did as they were told and started to get dressed. I ealked back down the stairs and heard something clawing at my moms bedroom door. I went back into my room and grabbed my knife that my grand father gave to me. It was bigger than a pocket knife but smaller than a kitchen knife. It was the size of small hunting knife and would do the job well. I shut my bed room door behind me and walked up to my moms door. I heard snarls coming from the other side. I opened the door so quickly and with so much force my mom didn't have time to react. The door hit her point blank in the face and sent her flying back on the floor. Before she could react I jumped onto her and drove the blade into her skull. As soon as her body went limp and I yanked the blade out and prepared to go for Tommy next. He was flailing around on the floor with his insides all over ther place. He did not have the ability to sit up really be a threat but never the less he had to be put down. I stepped around his strewn guts and quickly penetrated his head with my blade. His limbs immeditely stopped and he stopped moving. I wiped my knife off on his shirt and walked back to my room where my brother and uncle were done changing and waiting for me to return. "Shall we get going ?" I asked them. Both of them nodded in return with both of them looking at me scaredly. "Now we go and survive this together."I thought to myself................................................................
