(Tom's POV)

Edd and Matt dragged me with them to get some food and of course cola. As normal you've got the mothers with the screaming children, the elderly still slowly making their way through the first aisle, the teenagers buying icecream and energy drink, the crazies thinking the world's gonna end (:3) and all the other people you see that you hope don't fucken talk to you. Today, there were people here that were getting supplies for tonight's storm just in case if the stores get hit with a tree or something, kind of what we're doing now, Edd is one of those people who think its better to be safe than sorry... a tree smashed through our kitchen window once. We finally got out of the store, getting in the car and driving back home.

-11:49pm-

I woke up to a loud siren going off outside, I bolted out of bed, into the hallway "Edd?! Matt?!" "Right here! What's happening?!" Edd yelled over the noise as Matt stood behind him, scared and shaking. The lights went out, but one remained in the living room, the TV was on with a message on it:

'***THIS IS NOT A TEST***

RADIOACTIVE STORM

PLEASE LOCK AND CLOSE ALL ENTRIES AND EXITS TO HOMES. PLEASE STAY INSIDE AT ALL COSTS, WAIT UNTIL SIREN AND NEXT MESSAGE. GOOD LUCK

***THIS IS NOT A TEST***

"Radioactive storm?!" Matt held Edd's arm, freaking out more *!CRASH!* we ran to the window, sky red "Fuck this! Stupid fuckers are lying!" someone across the street walked out side, his friend yelling through the window for him to came back inside as a few other people joined him, one of them fell to the ground coughing up blood and hitting their head against the road until they died... or that's what we thought. The guy got back up as another fell down coughing up blood... they turned into something unholy, blood dripping out of their mouths. "RUN!!" we started yelling and banging on the window to the guy who still was human... everyone was yelling out to him to run, but it was too late. The two blood dripping dead saw him and high sprinted towards him, the guy ran, but it was no use... one of the dead tackled him to the ground, joined by the other and started ripping him apart while he was still alive "Oh my god!" Matt was gonna be sick, me and Edd still watching the horrid scene before us... they were now eating him and the guy is still alive, minutes from death. I looked through other windows of the houses where the 'smart' people were, watching with horror and a few crying, someone even threw up. One of the dead took notice of one of the houses and straight to the house's front door, pounding on it with blood covered hands, wanting to get inside "Tom, close all the blinds, I'll lock all the doors, Matt try and call our families" Edd said before running to the front door. I closed every blind and curtain in the house as Edd locked the front and back door, we came back to the living room "The line's dead and there's no signal/bars on any of the phones" Matt was so scared "Please, wake me up... I don't want to be in this nightmare anymore!" Edd rushed over to Matt, hugging him "Ssshhhh, it's okay, we safe in here, nothing can get in... remember our adventure to that zombie town at we blew up?" "Yeah" "How you were brave enough to try and take on all of them at once and almost got your arm ripped off" "Yeah" "Try being that Matt now, okay?" "O-Okay..." something started pounding on the door... one of those 'things' were at the door. I got out one of my harpoons, signaling Edd and Matt to be quiet and to go to Edd's room. As the two quietly rushed to Edd's bedroom, I carefully got a few knifes from the kitchen, walking to the front door and carefully peaking through the window next to the door, it was the guy that got ripped apart, his guts falling into the grass as he was now just looking at the street as if waiting for one of his living neighbors to wonder out of their home to play chicken with death. He started walking towards another's house, pounding on the neighbor's door, I made my way to Edd's room, walking in and locking the door "Ripped-apart-guy is up and walking, he left our house for another *Thunder* guess the storm is already here" I said sitting down on the ground next to my friends as Edd turned on his TV (yes, Edd has his own TV, only because it was a free one given to him-_-) the message was still the same as before, I gave a knife each to Edd and Matt "Just in case" I told them, placing the other knifes in front of us and holding my harpoon. Edd took the sheets and covers off his bed and placed them on the ground so we had somewhere to sleep, Me and Matt placing the mattress in front of the window so no one/nothing knows we're in here. We soon fell asleep, trying to ignore the screams of the dead managing to get in a couple of houses....

-7:15am, 4th January 2019, The Next Day-

I woke up to a few gunshots, I looked at the TV to see a new message, I woke up Edd and Matt...

***THIS IS NOT A TEST***

"Mary's Creek Bridge is on the other side of town, half an hour from here" Matt said "Get you backpacks, take the things you need; no mirrors, bass or cola" Edd commanded as we nodded our heads, going to our rooms to get what we need. Packing a few clothes, water, a bit of food, ID and first aid kit "Sorry Susan, your gonna have to stay here, but I'll be back soon" I placed Susan (my bass) gently on my bed, I zipped up my bag, put my shoes on and threw the bag onto my shoulders, meeting Edd and Matt in the hallway as the siren went off. We headed to the front door, Edd with a knife and Matt who found one of the guns commie left behind months ago, I held my harpoon in my hand as I unlocked the door, stepping out side seeing that we're good to go. I motioned the two to follow, Matt closing the door as we joined other people quietly running, all of us not bothering to change out of our pajamas, three people caught up to us; Eduardo, Mark and Jon who I just recently heard came out of a coma from Tord's explosion. "Edd, I know we had fights in the past, but can we stick with you guys, work together" Eduardo asked "Sure, gonna have to either way, truths?" "Truths" they shook hands as we finally made it to the meeting point. As soon as we passed over the bridge, the soldiers closed the gates "Stick together no matter what" I said as we lined up for one of the evacuation buses "Got your ID?" Edd asked as everyone nodded getting their ID out, explosions happening behind us of where we just came from. Fifteen minutes later, we were very close to the front of the line, six people in our group and three people in front of us; a mother, father and eight-year-old girl. The mother and girl got on the bus as the soldier moved onto the father, a soldier coming over to us "How many are you traveling with?" "Just the six of us" I answered "IDs" we showed him the IDs "Weapons?" "Harpoon, knifes and a hand gun just in case, better be safe then sorry" "Alright, lastly, any of you suffering anything medical?" "Jon came out of a coma two weeks ago, that's all" Eduardo answered "Alright, you six are ready to board-" "On the fucken ground!" we looked over to see the father on the ground, gun pointed at his head. "What wound is it?!" a soldier asked "Bite mark on the stomach, infected and spreading" "How'd you get your wound?!" "Some person on my street, bit me when I was trying to help him-" "Cuff him and put a muzzle on him, get him in a police paddy-wagon and get him to the lab!" we watched the get dragged away then the planes flew over our heads, breaking the sound barrier knocking everyone down to the ground as the buses drove off, the dead now at the gate of the bridge, pounding on the iron bars. Guns started firing as I lead the guys to an empty house, locking all the doors and checking all the rooms to make sure there was none of those things inside, we closed the blinds and walked into the living room to talk. "There goes the evacuation buses" Edd said annoyed at the situation we're in now "What are we going to do?" Eduardo asked "... *sign* we're gonna have to get back to our houses, set up a base there if it's not destroyed and hope Ripped-apart isn't there too" Edd said "who's Ripped-apart?" Mark asked "The guy who was ripped apart and eaten alive and became one of those... zombies last night. He was walking around outside our house dropping guts everywhere" I told them, Jon looking terrified "I'm starting to wish I died in that explosion" *Eduardo hits Jon's head* "Never say that again! Your living through this whether you like it or not!" Eduardo harshly whispered, hoping the dead don't hear him. "We'll stay here for the night, then early light we leave for home" Edd said. We laid out blankets for us to sleep on "I'll be first watch, then I'll swap with you" Matt said to me, I looked out the window... red noon sky mixed with smoke as I laid down on a bed sheet, thinking to myself 'This is the start of the end'...
