*Based on Upon Wings Of Change by @CrystalScherer you should check it out!*
Ruby lived a confusing life before the day things changed. For twelve years in her life she lived normally. Even better than normal. She was a social butterfly, got good grades and the had best family a 12 year old could dream of. She always knew what was happening. But things started going downhill when her parents disappeared. With no relatives or friends who could take her in she bounced from one foster home to another. And Ruby lost something else. Her sense of reality. She found her only comfort in her thoughts and dreams. Finally it turned out that an old lady who claimed to be her gramma took her in. That old lady was the only person who cared for her and that only saved her from drifting away forever. And when Ruby got older she started caring for the old lady too.
When all of a sudden when Ruby was 19 her gramma died, and Ruby found herself running into the night. She didn't go far when she was grabbed by behind and and stabbed by a needle that put her sleep. Like I said before, Ruby lived a confusing life before things changed. But for better, or for worse?
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
