Out Of Sight -A Zombie Novel

Living Nightmare

I sat up quickly, panting heavily, I looked around the room frantically to see everyone sound asleep, To my right was another small bed, holding my bestfriend, Samantha, then another bed holding her nephew, Samuel, and beside Samuel, are four other beds holding Nya, Alize, Alex and Adriel, my nephews and Nieces. I let out a sigh, and rubbed my face, which had beads of sweat going down it.

It was just a dream.

It was just a dream.

I repeated those same words in my head while I glanced around, with paranoia.

My pillows were damp, and my blanket was sprawled across my body. I was wearing a black tank top with blue shorts, and my thick brown curly hair was in a neat bun. I wiped the tears that we're going down my face, before looking to the side and checking my clock for the time, only to see it was about 8:34 am. I quietly got out of bed, and I made my way into the bathroom, I turned on the bathroom light and I looked at myself in the mirror.

I was a mess. My dark curly brown hair was sticking all over the place, and My dark brown eyes were frazzled, almost matching the crazed form my hair took. I grabbed a towel from under the sink and turned the water on. After I was satisfied with the temperature, I quickly stripped out of my pajamas and got into the shower, letting my hair soak, and the sweat roll off my light brown skin.

After my daily routine of getting ready, it was about 10 am. I quickly jogged down the stairs and made my way into the living room, with my gun in its holster, along with my throwing knives.

Making my way through the kitchen, I grabbed a basket to gather some fruits and vegetables.

When Sam and I first moved in here, I worked hard on this garden, it was almost dead but I managed to salvage it.

Once I finished gathering the stuff I needed I went back inside and closed the door behind me.

Turning on the stove, I wasted no time on getting breakfast started. I decided to make eggs with veggies and bread. I also made two separate jugs of Orange and lime juice. I turned the stove on, and cracked the eggs into the pan, before going over to the vegetables chopping them up. I placed them into the frying pan with the eggs before turning the stove off once it was cooked.

Looking at the breakfast I made for everyone, I sighed and checked my watch.

11:00 am

Everyone should be getting up by now. I walked up the stairs to see if they even woke up.

On my way up I could here their arguments. I rolled my eyes, no doubt they are fighting about who gets to shower first. I quickly ran up the rest of the stairs and made my way inside the room. Everyone was huddled around the small bathroom opening, trying to get in.

All of them were yelling and shouting at each other to move, or to go somewhere else. I quickly chuckled to myself and closed the door behind me.

Adriel, the 2 year old noticed me first, and came marching towards me, he seemed frustrated as he started talking gibberish while pointing at the door with his tiny eyebrows furrowed.

Smiling, I slowly bent down to his level.

"Wik, eh wik broom" He shouted while pointing at everyone.

I nodded my head as if I understood him.

"E room, e room!" He said moving his arms up and down for emphasis.

"I know Bebe" I said trying to calm him down.

"Come" He said taking my arm, and pulling me towards the bathroom.
