Third Person POV
Ella turns a corner as she gets closer to the building she is going to. But as she turns she sees about twenty zombies in the street. They all quickly take notice of her. "Well Shit" Ella says as she turns and runs up the street past instead of turning. The zombies starts running/walking after Ella. Ella keeps running while looking back at the zombies. She looks forward and sees ten or so zombies in front of her. Her eyes widen and she looks around her. She sees an empty alley and turns and runs into it.
What she didn't realize at the time was that the alley she turned into was a dead end. Ella pants a little as she turns and looks at the horde of zombies turning into the alley after her. 'Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck... Wait yes yes.' Ella thinks as she sees a ladder on the side of one of the buildings. Ella pulls out one of her katanas and runs to the ladder. She slices a couple of zombies heads off as she gets to the ladder. She starts to climb up when a zombie grabs a hold of her ankle.
She starts to kick it. But it doesnt let go and it tries to bring her ankle into its mouth. Ella quickly slices off the zombies hand and starts climbing again. She doesn't look down as she climbs. Once she gets to the top she flops onto her back and starts taking a bunch of deep breaths. She looks up at the sky and watches as the sky gets darker. She looks at her watch and sees that its 8 pm. Meaning she has been running for about 13 hours. With only a few breaks for water. And each break only lasted at most ten minutes.
Ella slowly crawls to the edge of the building and looks down. She sees a shit ton of zombies. There seems to be about 50 zombies. 'I guess More came when they saw other run. But fuuuuuck i'm so tired now.' Ella backs away from the edge and lays down. "I can sleep here for tonight. Then continue tomorrow." She says as she takes a few deep breaths. Her eyes begin to close but she tries to keep them open to look at the stars. She smiles a little as she watches a comet fly through the sky. She closes her eyes as she falls asleep.
When she sleeps all she can see are flashes of people dying. Of people screaming in pain. Of..... Of Lucas, her little brother.... She saw him.... She saw her little brother die. She woke up in the middle of the night holding back a scream. Her mind racing back to the dream or nightmare that woke her up. Lucas... Ella had just found him. He was alone in an alleyway. With only a single knife. . He had zombies surrounding him. All of them are dead. He was sitting on the ground leaning against a wall. He was panting as if he had ran a mile.
He was sweating and he had tear stains on his cheeks. Ella called his name. When he heard her he looked up at her. He smiled painfully at his older sister. Ella ran to him and hugged him tightly. Lucas didn't hug back, his arms stayed by his sides. Ella let go of him and grabbed ahold of his face. She told him how much she has missed him. She told him how worried she was about him. That is when his smile dropped from his face. Instead a glare replaced it. His eyes turn hard and cold.
Ella asked him what was wrong. He glared more and started yelling. Yelling about how Ella didn't care. About how Ella wasn't worried. About how he.... He would have been fine if..... If he never saw her again. Ella tried to shush him. But he kept yelling at her. Yelling how she didn't protect him. Ella asked him what he ment. That's when he pulled back his shirt from his neck. There bright as day was a zombie bite. Ellas eyes widened. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her little brother. Tears dripped from her eyes as she fell back and leaned onto a dumpster.
Ella shook her head not believing it. When she looked back up at her brother she began to cry harder. There her brother was, a zombie. Tears streamed from her eyes faster. Her zombie brother came at her. Ella couldn't do anything but close her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to put him down. She just shut her eyes and waited for him to bite her. Just as he was about to bite her. Ella woke up. With tears dripping from her eyes. The light from the full moon made it so she could see all around her. She wipes her eyes remembering the promise she made to herself years ago.
Back when she was 13. Ella made a promise, to herself. Ella promised not to cry unless her little brother was to die. She promised herself not to cry out in pain if someone hurts her. She promised not to cry when someone she cares for dies, That is unless it's Lucas that dies. But since that day she has not cried. Until now, from the dream, to the end of the world, to all the stuff that has happened to her. She has finally cried about it all. Though crying and showing weakness is not something she is used to.
She knew the only things around her were zombies. So she was safe to cry without anyone knowing. Ella curled up into a ball and put her head on her knees. "Lucas please be ok. Please be safe. I don't know what I would do if I could never find you or if your dead. So you better be ok." Ella says in between her cries. She looks up at the moon and closes her eyes tightly. Ella soon wipes her eyes and takes a deep breath. 'I need to sleep to keep my strength up.' Ella thinks as she lays back down on the roof. Ella watches the sky as she falls back asleep.
