Chapter 1: Alone

         It has been fifteen days since the zombie apocalypse ended. It has been very lonely. I miss my friends and most of all, my family. It’s rare when I talk. How did I survive? I’m only a fifteen year old girl. I started to walk on the cold, damp sidewalk. The skies were grey and the town smelt like death. Today I was going to find a pharmacy to raid. I knew I was coming down with a virus and I need some sort of medicine. I wrapped my grey scarf around my pale face. I walked down two more blocks until I found a Wal-Mart and a pharmacy. I have hit the jackpot!

       I tried to open the pharmacy’s door. “How predictable, it’s locked.” I muttered to myself. I looked around the building in hope of finding an unlocked door. Well, I guess I have to pick the lock. I took two bobby pins out of my hair and put them in the lock. I started to pick the lock. The door opened and an alarm started to sound. I didn’t care so much about it because it’s not like anybody is going to arrest me. I walked into the store. It was dark inside, so I took my flashlight out of my backpack. I stole; two bottles of Advil, Two boxes of band-aids, soap and deodorant.

     I left the pharmacy and started to head to Wal-Mart. Once I got there, the lights were on and the automatic doors surprisingly worked. I walked inside the store and headed for the clothes area. I got a few flannel shirts, jeans, sweaters, underwear and socks. I started to walk to the food area

     “Ash, go turn on music and play this album.” Said some survivor said, that I can’t see.

     “Oh no, this can’t be happening.” I whispered to myself.

      I quickly scanned the area to find a hiding spot. I saw I door and without any hesitation, I went inside it. It was really dark so I opened my bag to look for my flashlight. I think I found it so I pulled it out. I found the on button and turned it on. I shined it around the small, dark room. I think it was a janitor’s closet. I sat down and started to wait.

     I’ve been waiting for about five minutes when I music started to play. After five seconds of hearing the song I realized it was one of my favorite songs. It was “Misery business” by Paramore.

       I started to sing the lyrics until I heard “Hey Luke, did you hear that?”

      I put my hand over my mouth and stood behind a shelf. The sound of footsteps started to get louder by the second. The door slowly creaked open. I tried to get a good look from them and from what I saw, they were cute. They look about eighteen or twenty. I really wanted to run to them and talk to them because it’s been very lonely but they could steal from me or kidnap me or even kill me.

     “See Calum, there’s no here but I wish there was.” The dude with the blonde hair said.

     “Yeah mate, I miss the girls.” The Asian guy said. “Really Calum?!” Blondie said. I start to giggle. They looked in my direction.

     “No, no, no, no.” I mumbled.

       They started to walk to the shelf I was behind. I panicked and pushed down the shelf. As it landed on top of them, I bolted out of the closet and started to make my way out of here. Just as I was about to ran out the doors someone grabbed the back of my black shirt. I quickly turned to see who it was. It was a different guy with blue hair. I kicked him where the sun doesn’t shine. He released me and fell to the ground.

     “I’m so sorry!” I shouted, as I was running.

    After running a few blocks, I started to walk home. When I was finally at the door I felt like people were watching me. I looked around only to see what always see, nothing. I opened my door and decided to lock it just in case those three boys found me. I took my new clothes and hung it up. I walked into the kitchen to make my dinner which is always canned something. I opened the pantry and there was no food. I wish I grabbed food before I hid. I walked up stairs and plopped onto my bed. I slowly closed my eyes.

         

                                                  * ~ Dream/ flashback~*

   “GO ALICE” my mom shouted.

  “I can’t let you die!” I protested.

 “Alice, if you don’t go, you will die” my mom said calmly.

 “I can’t leave you here, mom. I love you.” I cried.

 “I love you too, Alice but I was bitten. I can turn into one of them any moment; you have a chance to live. NOW RUN!” my mom said.

A tear streamed down. “Good-bye mom, I love you.” I said while kissing her forehead. All of a sudden, zombies started to shuffle and limp towards my mom and I. Their growls got loader the closer they came.

     “I love you too, honey. Now go!” my mom shouted. I got up and started to run. I heard screams from behind me.

      I quickly turn my head and saw my mom getting eaten alive. “MOM!” I shouted.

       I opened my eyes. “MOM!” I screamed. Tears started streaming down my cheeks. I ran to my parent’s room and I went into my mom’s closet. I grabbed her favorite shirt and put it to my face. I smelt her fading scent. I fell onto the cold floor. “I miss you” I quietly said to my deceased mother. Why did I survive? Why did my family die? Why did my mom die? I wish I could wake up wish amnesia.

    After an hour of sobbing, I made myself breakfast, which always is canned something. I smelt really bad and I had to do laundry. I was running on low on water and I was going to need to raid another store. I knew Wal-Mart sold water. I sort of miss the other survivors too. I could say sorry if they’re still there and hang out with them. I got my 9mm pistol and put it in my belt. Then I grabbed my backpack and through it on my back. Inside is my dead Ipod, headphones, a Twinkie (Those things never expire), a Swiss army knife and a first aid kit. I walked to my garage and hoped on my bike. I felt like I was being watched again. I shook my head and started to bike.
