I Didn't Know

Day.4

It's been a day and I can't find him. I went to all the possible places he would go to, but he wasn't there.

I see more zombies walking around. When will someone do something about this?

I look in my bag and see only one bag of chips.

I should probably go home now.

As I'm walking I hear screaming.

"HELPPP PLEASEEE!!"

I run toward the sound. I see someone laying on the floor with blood all over them and next to them is a zombie.

Too late, he's already dead.

The zombie then looks at me.

"Shit"

He runs toward me. I grab my bat and swing it at him. He falls to the ground. I stomp on his head just incase he's not fully dead.

Then someone runs toward me. A man.

"Oh my god! Johnny!!" He says and bends down to the boy that's dead.

"I'm sorry." I say.

The man looks over to the dead zombie.

"Did you kill it?" He asks.

"Yes. I wanted to save.. Johnny but he was already..dead" I say.

"How the hell did you kill it?" He asks and stands up.

"With a bat.."

I look at his pants and see a gun.

"I'm a cop." He says.

"Woah. Umm"

"I'm Daniel." He says.

"Emily" I say.

"I have a group of survivors down at the lake and you look useful. Wanna come by and see if you want to join?" He asks me.

"A group of survivors.."

What the hell is that suppose to mean?

"Everything looks perfect now but in a week, zombies will be everywhere!" Daniel says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"We have a scientist. He said this whole thing is a virus and no one knows how to stop it. It started in Staten Island and then sooner or later the whole world is gonna be infected." Mark says.

"Wow." I say.

Should I trust this "cop"?

"Can I see you badge?" I ask him.

"Smart girl!" He says and takes it out.

"Okay I will check out your group." I say.

This whole "zombie" thing is really confusing. I should've read more zombie comics as a kid!

"Any family?" He asks me while we are walking.

"All dead." I say.

I look away so he doesn't see me cry.
He thinks I'm strong so I wanna be strong.

"I'm sorry." Daniel says.

"How many people are in your group?" I ask him.

"One scientist, two cops; besides me, my wife and my kid. Oh and we just got a nurse!" He says.

"Wow. Where were you when it started?" I ask him.

"If you mean the zombie apocalypse, I was at jail. One of the jail mates got sick so me and my buddy checked on him. Then out of no where, his eyes shut and five minutes later he jumps on my buddy and bites him. Shot the poor fella without realizing it." He says. "What about you?"

"I was at an amusement park for my birthday." I say.

He smiles at me and says "home sweet home"

I look over at the lake. Next to it is a house.

"Is this your house?" I ask him.

"Nope, but now it is." He says.

We walk into the house.

"Emily??" July says.

I look behind me and see July!

"What are you doing here?" I ask her.

"It's a long story, sit down." She says.

Oh boy.

{sorry if this kinda boring. I'm trying to make it good}
