Snuggled up on the couch against Glenn while Marcus sits by himself. The movie we were watching goes to commercial so I move the blanket off my legs. "Oh no don't do that that lets the cold in" Glenn whines and pulls the blanket back just as I get up. I pick up my glass "I'm getting a refill, anyone else want one or need anything?" Marcus shakes his head "I'm good"
I turn to Glenn who I notice has been staring at me and has zoned out. "Earth to Glenn" I say while waving a hand in front of his face. "Uh yeah, yeah." I narrow my eyes at him at first but quickly ignore it and grab his glass before leaving the living room and entering the kitchen. I refill my glass with some ice and Coca Cola as I am about to start doing the same with Glenn's I hear Marcus call for me. I can sense the panic in his tone.
I re-enter the living room to find Marcus and Glenn standing by the TV. "What's wrong?" I ask as I look both of the guys over, Glenn glances at me and nods towards the screen. I follow his gaze and see the bright multicolor screen as the news station speaks "A virus has run rampant and has caused people to act like cannibals. Please stay inside, lock your doors and windows." The TV starts breaking up and eventually turns off. Banging on the door startles us all, I share a wary glance with Glenn and Marcus. "I got it."
"No Bree don't what if it's one of the infected people?" Glenn calls out nervously, I turn to him and give him a small smirk "I'm a big girl I can handle it" I make my way to the door and reach my hand out to the knob about to open it when a strange sound stops me. I press my ear up against the door and listen, Glenn takes a step towards me but I hold a finger up telling him to stay there. It sounds like growling and moaning from outside but then it goes quiet.
Another bang makes me jump "Gah!" I stumble backwards but quickly regain myself. I turned around facing Marcus and Glenn "There's something out there...it's growling or s-something." I stutter before walking up to the windowsill to move the curtain out of the way to get a better look. There are groups of the infected crowding the streets and the front of our house. "Oh my god" I mutter before closing the curtain and moving away. I spin back around facing Marcus and Glenn. "I don't know what the hell is happening but we need to get out of here. Now."
