“MARCIE WHAT THE HECK COME ON!” Alice yelled. So I bet this was a twist in the story. I’m Marcie, Kendrick’s cousin. I bet he’s told you a lot about me. Or not. I really don’t mind. Anyway, this is how it all started. I woke up the next morning, the power was off, no one was home, and growls kept coming form down stairs. I thought Michael was just playing with me, so I went down stairs. I turned the corner, and saw mom. She was just standing there. She was skinny, and I mean SKINNY! “Mom, Michael keeps making weird noises, will you tell him to quit it.” I said. She didn’t answer.  “Mom?” I said. She turned around and my eyes widened. She was missing an eye, her arm was missing, and she had cut’s all over her body. I screamed, grabbed a broom and smacked her over and over again. She fell, and I ran down the hall and screamed. All of the boys where dead. Heber, Athan, and Maruis was lying torn apart. I ran out and grabbed a knife with sharp edges. I ran down and stabbed their heads, making sure they stayed dead. I was crying, as I walked out. I looked everywhere for Lanie and Michael, I didn’t search the basement. I was too scared. Kendrick was right, I was scared of everything. I ran down to my mom’s room and looked for a gun that they stored for emergency. I found it, grabbed it, and ran outside.

                I walked down the sidewalk with fear running through my body. I smiled huge when I saw the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my whole life. A four-wheeler. I laughed, and jumped on. “OHHHH YEAH!” I yelled, turned it on, and started to drive forward. Now, I have no idea how to drive one of these things, so I drove around crazily almost falling off here and there. I saw a gas station and pulled over. I walked into the station and looked around. The doors where shattered, and no one was in the station. I saw food. You heard me. I saw FOOD! I ran over and started to pillage all of the food into a backpack that was there. I grabbed some sun glasses and ran over and popped open the register. I looked at all the money, but I saw what I wanted, I pressed a button and I heard something go ding. I turned around, and saw that the gas was working. I grabbed my backpack, threw on my sun glasses, and walked outside. I filled up the four-wheeler. I hopped on and started it up; I wheeled off and drove down the road. It was getting colder and colder the faster I went. I saw a shop and pulled over to it. I walked in and I almost would have lost my head if I didn’t duck. “WHAT THE HELL!” I screamed and ran into some shoes. The worst part, they were high heels. “OH MY GOSH! I’M SO SORRY ARE YOU OKAY!” said a voice. I grabbed my gun and pointed it at her. A girl about my age, which is 16, stood in front of me. Her brown hair went to her ears and her bright green eyes where wide. You could tell she’s been crying. I stood up, gun still on her, she was shorter than me. “I’m Alice, I’m also 16.” She said, dropping her gun and bat. I blinked and put my gun down. “I’m Marcie. 16.” I answered her. She nodded, “You can talk so I’m guessing you’re not a Zombie. And you haven’t been bitten ether.” She said walking forward. “How long have you been here?” I asked her. “All night, until this moment.” She said. “You’ve been here too long.” I said, and rushed forward to look outside. No Zombie was here. But they’ll come. “Grab a coat, for both of us. We need to move.” I said. I heard heels click, “AND TAKE YOUR HEELS OFF! WHERE GOING TO BE RUNNING!” I yelled. And the clicking stopped. Squeaking came seconds later, and she had two coats in hand. “Okay, but we don’t have a ride.” She said. “Yes we do.” I said, and held up a key. She smiled, and we threw on some coats. We walked outside, my gun at ready. We got on the four-wheeler and I drove off. We passed a few more stores, when I turned the corner. Then I saw a group of Zombies walking around. To our arrival, they all turned to us, and started to ether run, or walk very fast. I turned around and hit the gas; we went flying down the road and onto the high way, where everything was deserted. “So did you know this would happen?” she asked in my ear. I winced, resisting the urge to smack her. “No . . . well . . . maybe. I don’t know!” I said irritated. And the four-wheeler jolted forward. I swerved, and missed a car by an inch. “OH MY HELL! IF YOU’RE GOING TO RIDE WITH ME, THEN DON’T TALK! WERE TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ZOMBIE’S!” I yelled. She went quite, and I drove off again. It was getting darker the faster we went. I turned into the parking lot to a J.C Penny store, and gathered up my supplies. It was colder than I thought it would be. “Do you know why it’s so cold?” asked Alice, who has been quite for a while. I looked at her, “No, why?” I looked into the store to see if anyone was in there. Five Zombies. I turned around, and walked to the four-wheeler. “Hold that thought, we better get out of here, find a Military Base.” I said, and started off again. “I know I’m not supposed to talk. But, don’t you need sleep?” she said. I ignored her and kept driving. I was tired.  Very.

                I pulled over after a while, and stopped under a ladder. We started to climb up and we finally reached the top of the building. I sighed and curled up, tired, and hungry. I took off my glasses, and pulled out a bag of chips. “Mind that I have some?” Alice asked. I nodded, and held the bag out to her. She took a huge handful, and started eating like mad. She noticed I was watching her, “I haven’t had anything to eat.” She said, and started to eat carefully. “I don’t care, anyway, next store we see, we raid it, and then get out.” I said. She nodded. “We don’t have sleeping bags, or anything to sleep on.” Alice said. I nodded, “Yup, so, we sleep on the ground.” I put my head down on the ground and closed my eyes. A few seconds later: “Marcie, can I use your backpack as a pillow.” She said. I sighed, and handed it to her. She layed right down next to me. When I hear her breath even, I sit up and look around. “Someone has to take watch.” I said, as I held my gun ready. 

                Around three o’clock I wake up Alice and ask her to keep watch while I rest my eyes. She agreed without hesitation and sat up. I told her she could have a candy bar if she wanted, and I fell asleep instantly. I was walking down a road, Zombies coming everywhere. I wasn’t running, I wasn’t trying to get away. I pulled out a ninja sword, and slashed off some Zombies heads. Then an explosion went off, it was a bomb. I walked right into a huge group of Zombies, and then died. But not by a Zombie, but by a bomb. I woke up and gasped. Alice looked at me, “you Okay?” she asked. I nodded. And stood up. I looked at my watch. Five o’clock, I only slept for two hours. Well I guess I’m not going to sleep for the rest of my life anyway. We climbed down the ladder, and jumped on the four-wheeler. I headed out with my head bounding. I never had dreams of me dieing. It wasn’t natural, I shook my head and it gave me a headache, GET A LOT OF ASPRIN!

                It was eight when we hit Vegas. Gun shots where going off like crazy as I swerved into the next road. Alice was dropping gun shots, like mad, the Zombie’s found us as we where raiding a shop. I was about to ride right into a Military Base, when I heard a scream. I looked behind me and saw someone. A boy. He was running after us. I stopped sideways, threw Alice and her stuff into safety, and drove after the boy. “MARCIE WHAT THE HECK COME ON!” Alice yelled.  Just like in the movies. Ether the boy goes back for the girl, or the girl goes back for the boy. I decided that after what I’m about to do, it would kill me. Good bye Kendrick.

                 Dear Kendrick,

                                      Where are you!? I’ve looked everywhere for you. Please tell me you’re alive. Keep Alice safe for me, she’s a sweetie once you get to know her.
