It all started with the illness that spread like wildfire and killed animals and humans. Then came the zombies along with the apocalypse. How did my friends and I get messed up in all this? I guess you could say it was my fault, but that would be dumb because I didn't ask my friends to come with me to Georgia. I was one of the very first people who noticed that something was wrong because I was working with animals in a vet clinic and I noticed all the animals started dying out of nowhere. My employers begged me to keep it a secret and so I did, for the first five days that is. I was then told by my boss that I was to go to Savanna Georgia to do research on the dying animals. I gave my Mom and Dad a kiss on the cheek and was told "just don't get killed." HAHAHA! Not funny anymore. My friends Philly and Melony or Mercury as I called her decided to tag along with me. I was reluctant but gave in considering the fact that Philly was like my older sister being 26 years old and Mercury was like my younger sister a year younger than me. We were only there for two days before people started dying and then Zombies. Well we were probably the craziest zombie hunters considering that Mercury and I acted like little kids/ teens and Philly was like our Mom. My name is Eclipse or Elena and I am 21 years old I wanted to be a vet but I guess now I kill zombies. Onto our first Zombie encounter.
"Excuse me we need some aspirin" Philly said standing at the pharmacy counter tapping her shoe on the ground.
Mercury and I were browsing the counters trying to find things to help us. "The end of the world as we know it" Mercury sang "Its the end of the world as we know it."
"Shut up" Philly said "No one needs that, Mercury it hurts to know that we might be the only ones left." I shook my head remembering how much Mercury and Philly have arguments.
"Oh whatever" Mercury said and she held up a magazine in front of my face "Now pick which guy you would have if he was alive."
I looked at the magazine and shrugged "I can't pick a guy" I said "I would rather have someone who's cute and likes me for me then have a guy who's into himself like one of these models. Besides their dead now! And why is it always blonde's with you?"
"I don't know" Mercury said smiling "I'm 20 and haven't met that special someone yet, cut me some slack."
"Hello" Philly said "Is anyone there anybody? The sign says its open!" Philly frowned and started muttering about the damn illness.
"Maybe he's in this back door" Mercury said and she went and opened it only to let out a scream "Help me! He's got me!"
Philly and I looked at each other for a split second before I grabbed the emergency axe and went over to chop whatever it was off of Mercury. "Whatever you are" I screamed chopping it "Get your goddamn hands off my best friend!"
When the thing fell to the floor Mercury and I smiled then all of us looked at the thing and did a double take. "Holy Shit" I said smiling "Its true Zombies are real! Huh…. I knew it."
"But that means we're in some deep shit" Philly said "We should go to that weapon shop and stock up."
"Yea good idea" Mercury said "We wouldn't want to die now would we?"
I nodded a little freaked out and we started running as fast as we could and we got inside the pawn shop. I walked around the shop while Philly and Mercury were doing their own thing.
"There" Mercury said "The radio works lets see what it says." Philly and I looked at the radio and listened intently to the emergency broadcast. This is an emergency broadcast the illness is causing anyone who becomes infected or dies from the illness to turn into zombies our worst fears have come true! We urge anyone to stay where they are and barricade the doors and windows if you thing you can wait it out, or to go to the pickup zones where helicopters will take you to safety….. The radio cut off at this point.
"We urge you to stay and wait my ass" Philly said reading a letter addressed to survivors and looking at the radio.
I smiled when I found the closet was riddled with knives and guns but I grabbed the Katana and a sniper rifle along with a health pack and some ammo. Mercury smirked at me when I handed her two pistols and a machete she took a health pack and some ammo as well. I handed Philly a mini machine gun and a regular shot gun and a health pack. Mercury put a pistol in my back pocket and handed me some pain pills in case. Philly grabbed an extra health pack in case one of us got really bad.
"Kill all those mother fuckers" I said "That's what we're going to do." Mercury and Philly smirked and nodded at me and then we kicked open the door and started shooting the zombies.

Whispers

Break my bonds again
We had been fighting zombies for about a week moving from safe house to safe house and we were finally close to finding the helicopter pad. I was slicing a spitter up with my katana currently and when she fell to the ground I fell down to my knees.
Both Mercury and Philly were battling zombies and saw me down on my knees. "Eclipse" Mercury yelled "Look out a charger! "
I looked up and sure enough a charger was right in my face smiling at me. I gasped when it grabbed me by the collar and began to shake me when I suddenly heard a gunshot go off and the charger threw me five feet away. "Ahh" I said grunting in pain "Fucking Zombie."
I was suddenly aware of a shadow in front of me and I looked up expecting to see a zombie but when I saw it was a guy smiling at me I couldn't help but smile back. "Here Miss" He said and held his hand out to help me up which I took happily "Whatcha doin out here?"
"Oh you haven't heard" I said smirking while getting up "My friends and I are official Zombie hunters."
"Eclipse" Mercury and Philly screamed "Where are you ?"
"Here Mercury and Philly " I screamed and they saw me and smiled walking towards me "This guy rescued me from the charger."
Mercury smiled and gave me a knowing looked which I shrugged off while Philly looked the guy up and down.
"There you are" I heard a voice say behind me and I turned around to see three other people a big guy, what looked liked a mafia guy, and a girl with a dépêche mode shirt on.
"Hi I'm Rochelle" The girl said "This is Coach (Big guy) and Nick (Mafia guy)."
The guy looked around and everyone gave him a questioning look "Well my name's Ellis but some people call me El, but I really prefer Ellis because El kinda sounds like a girls name but if you prefer to call me El I guess you can" the guy said and I didn't realize but that whole time he had been looking at me.
"You guys don't look like your from here" Coach said looking at our outfits.

"Yea were from Maryland" I explained "I'm Eclipse, That's Mercury and Philly."
"Eclipse is a beautiful name" Ellis said "It fits you perfectly."
"Thank you" I said blushing a little bit surprised from the comment" You guys headed to the evacuation point as well?"
"You bet" Rochelle said smiling "been fighting the hell out of those zombies all the way here."
"Us too" Mercury said "We should travel together to evacuation point."
"Sounds alright" Nick said "Just don't slow us down."
"We weren't planning on it" Philly said smirking "We are just as fast as you guys."
We started walking away and I turned to Ellis "Hey Ellis" I said tapping my foot impatient that he wasn't moving "Come walk with me."
"Okay Miss Eclipse" Ellis said smiling hugely "I'm coming."
"Ellis it's just Eclipse" I said pretending to shudder "Miss makes me feel old and I bet I'm younger than you."
"Really well I'm 23" Ellis said "How old are you Eclipse?"
"I'm 21" I said sheepishly "I'm just old enough to have a beer."
"Wow well you are beautiful Eclipse" Ellis said "If you don't mind me saying."
"No I don't really mind Ellis" I said looking at the ground "It's just nobody has ever called me beautiful."
Ellis looked like he was going to protest that statement when Mercury's scream made it clear zombie's had found us. I pulled out my katana and smirked at Ellis before jumping into the fight.
