Lynn's POV

My head was pounding, and I kept hearing this ringing sound, like a tornado warning or something. I cracked open my eyes to see the television on the news.

"Reports of this outbreak are disturbing. It seems to have just appeared from thin air and developed overnight. Here is a clip from downtown as of right now."

The screen flashed to screaming people running around, with other people chasing after them. The chasers didn't look like real people, they had red spattered around their mouths and their skin was grayish, an off color pink. Suddenly, one of them stopped chasing one of the screaming men and lunged for the camera man. It showed a second or two of the chasers tear into the camera man's flesh before switching back to the newsroom.

"The rest of the clip has been removed because of the goriness. If you are watching this, I strongly advise to prepare for the worst. Keep your loved ones close, hoard all supplies, and pray to god this will all end soon."

The t.v. went black. I turned around to see Louis holding the remote and looking at me. "Where are the others?" I said, my throat scratchy from sleep. "Packing. We're going out and finding the rest of our families." I swallowed. "You can skip me. I don't have and living relatives." He bit his lip and nodded.

I got up and ran to my room. Living in a house with two boys definatly needed a little privacy. I changed quickly, then threw my favorite clothes inside a duffle bag. I grabbed my bathroom essentials and zipped it all up. I carried it to the living room and was met with 5 stares. "Does any of you know what is going on?" They all shook their heads. "You saw what was on the t.v. People eating each other, this widespread "disease", it all sounds like this is a-"

"Zombie movie." I finished Louis' sentence. Liam looked down at his toes. Zayn rn a hand through his flattened hair. "It sounds absolutly bonkers. Why would there be zombies? It sounds like complete and utter bullshit." We all stared at him. He grabbed his stuff. "I guess since we're already packed we can go check on everybody else, but I still think the world's gone crazy.

The first people we had to visit was Zayn's family. Along the way, we didn't see much of anything. No "zombies" no people, no animals. Nothing. We parked the car and Zayn jumped out. "I'll be right out. If you hear anything, come running." We all nodded. He ran inside.

We waited for about 10 minutes before Zayn came out. He looked a little shaken. "They're not there." We were all quiet. "Well, thats good isn't it? I mean, that could mean they already got out of the city." Louis piped up from the back. Zayn looked down. "But it stunk in there. It smelt like death." Zayn got in. "I guess thats the end of it." Harry looked back at Zayn from the drivers seat.

"Can you just go already? I've seen enough." Zayn muttered. Harry sighed and turned the engine back on. "Next stop, my house."

***********

It was around 4 when we saw our first zombie. We had already visited Harry's house and confirmed everyone was alive. The zombie was actually a middle aged man. Crimson was dripping down his chin and the front of his buttoned shirt. He must've been on his way to work when he had changed. His arm was a purple mass, probably where the infection started.

"Run him over." Liam said. He had been quiet since now, so when he said that, we hesitated. "RUN HIM OVER!!" Liam screamed, and Harry stepped on the gas and the walking corpse went flying. We backed up and cringed at the sound of bones crunching under the heavy car. Suddenly, dozens of the undead started appearing. “GO!!!” We all yelled. We sped off through the crowd while they pushed and thumped on the car windows.

By the time we had gotten out of the crowd, we were exhausted and it was 6. “I’m so hungry.” Niall whined. We hadn’t eaten anything all day because we thought we could go to a convenience store and get something. I reached into my bag and handed out some energy bars. It wasn’t enough to fill us up, but it was something.

“Alright. Tomorrow we’re visiting Niall’s family, along with Greg and his new wife. We’ll have to take a plane there.” Louis said. “I don’t know how we’re going to manage that.” Zayn muttered. He had had a sour attitude since we had visited his house. I ignored the nagging feeling in my belly to give up and leaned back.

“I’m exhausted. It’s been a long day, and so many things have happened. I really really hope this is all a dream.” I closed my eyes and heard rustling around, then something warm was placed on me. I cracked open an eye just a bit and saw that it was a multi colored blanket. I smiled at the thought and closed my eyes again, drifting into a dreamless sleep.

Notes

I had to make their houses closer together since this chapter didn't have a lot of time put into it, plus it was completed in math class. Comment, rate, suscribe, anything to keep me writing, and see you soon. :)
