Prologue

Brooke sat munching on some popcorn as the possessed doll on the screen got yet another victim. "Dumbass, why go to the bathroom, why not just run for the front damn door" Her friend Reba said from her seat on their couch beside her. "It's a movie Reba" Brooke chuckled "It's for story progression of course" Reba scoffed and flipped the channel "lets watch the news, see if anything on this virus is up yet, people freak out over the stupidest of things. This is why we need to take the r.v ad move to the mountains….." Brooke laughed aloud at her friend and patted her back. "Dude just chill, I'm sure the CDC will think up something, my uncle used to work there before he died, they are all high tech and such, we should be fine." Reba merely nodded her head, her eyes focused on the television screen. " I just don't understand what disease could make people start eating each other like that, it's crazy" Brooke shrugged and then smirked at Reba. "maybe its zombies" she chuckles at the horrified look on Reba's face and nudged her "kidding, kidding" she turned her attention to the screen again but had suddenly lost appetite as the news caster, was attacked by another person a blood curdling scream filled the tv monitor as the person ripped into the flesh of her neck, Brooke paled and felt sick "t- turn it off… Reba turn it off…., She murmured weakly ,Reba solemnly turned off the television all together and Brooke looked out the window, everything seemed so peaceful here in their small town, but how long would it take the virus to reach their little town.

A week later Brooke was leaving work when she heard a scream to her left, one of her coworkers was on the ground someone tearing into her arm, Brooke ran over kicking the bastard off of Sarah, The blonde looked up at her with a whimper and Brooke realized she had been bitten on the neck and there was no saving her. "K- Kill me…..please…..I don't want to suffer….." Sarah choked out, Brooke let out a sob, Sarah had been her friend, she wished she could have saved her but nothing could be done now, she fished in her bag for the small hand gun she carried with her when she walked home in the evenings and raised it to Sarah's head. "I'm…I'm so sorry Sarah….." She shot once and Sarah was gone, she looked up seeing the guy she had kicked off Sarah had cracked his head on the concrete and that must have killed him. She ran back into the Farm Fresh she worked at and went up to her boss "Cara we have to get everyone out we all need to leave" her boss just waved her off and that's when about six or seven of those things roamed in starting to attack everyone in the store, Brooke took off out of the store with her fellow people and ran back to Sarah grabbing her purse where she knew her car keys would be. She ran to Sarah's car dodging a person trying to grab her, unlocking the car she got in and started it up tearing out of the parking lot.

Brooke got to hers and Reba's small house as quickly as she could , Reba was off work today so she wasn't worried about her, she pulled the door open and Reba greeted her in the kitchen. "Yo! Sup? I got us some food cooking Hun maybe we can call the guys and watch a- Are you ok?" Brooke shook her head, "Reba get anything and everything you can we need to leave," Brooke turned the t.v . on and it was mayhem the cameras where filming from inside cars it seemed ,people were screaming and running all over the place, the person behind the camera was urging people to go to the Atlanta safe zone and refugee center. Brooke watched as Reba got into action, grabbing all their cans and shoving them into the few boxes they still had left from moving, Brooke ran into each of their rooms grabbing cloths and shoving them into two separate duffle bags, also grabbing their cd collection and her photo albums. It may sound silly but she wanted them. After grabbing everything essential she ran to her gun cabinet ,she had really just started it so only three guns hung in it but she unlocked it and grabbed them and her several boxes of back into the kitchen Reba had a baseball bat and was hammering nails into it. "The fuck it that for? " Reba looked up and laughed "silent weapon if these people still have any instinct they would be drawn by sound. "OOO that's good, ill grab the crossbow my dad got me for our hunting trip a while back….. I have used it a few times I will just have to get the hang of it I guess, come on we need to get more ammunition from the gun store and we need to grab food from one of the smaller stores, everyone will be going to the big stores right now, I say we hit the small ones first then when things die down go to the bigger stores, and get what's left" Reba was still hammering long nails into her bat but nodded. "I am almost done with this so we can get going in a minute, grab a pot and a pan and two plate's two bowls and two cups, also some utensils for the r.v . " Brooke set about grabbing things before looking at the spaghetti on the stove and put it in an empty butter bowl for them to eat on the ride in the r.v . "I hope this shit blows over soon, going without my phone and internet is gonna kill me….." Brooke grumbled, looking out the window they saw nothing out of the ordinary yet so they began to load the food into the r.v, and then grabbed the duffle bags. Once everything was loaded they went back out to get into the r.v. , but one of the things was out there waiting for them, before it could get anywhere Reba was on it beating its head in with her bat. "Aim for the head, it's our best bet of getting rid of them…."

Brooke nodded as they got into the r.v and drove off, Brooke watched out the window as they hit the main part of town, it was just chaos everywhere, Brooke spotted the gun pawn place and noticed that it was a little hidden and unless you were thinking clearly you would not notice it. "Go to that gun pawn instead of the sporting goods store, less likely to run into scared people who would kill you for a bullet right now… " Reba turned into the parking lot then parked behind the pawn shop. They entered in the front cautiously but saw no one inside, the locked employee only door was being bumped against and groans could be heard from the other side. "Leave them let's just get what we need and leave…." Reba whispered, they grabbed every box of ammunition they could get their hands on but left two boxes so someone else might be able to get some, Brooke also grabbed four dozen bolts for her crossbow and also grabbed several hunting knives and a machete that was under the counter. Everything was loaded into the car and night was soon approaching ,so they jumped into their r.v and took off for Atlanta.

Hours later they were stuck' in the biggest traffic jam ever, " What the fuck man why aren't they letting us in a bit faster than this?!" Brooke shrugged leaning against the r.v. "Don't know maybe they have too many people, gonna start turning us away" Reba shook her head going back into the r.v. slamming the door. Brooke looked over and her eyes widened "Aunt Lori!" Lori turned and saw Brooke and ran to her as did carl ,Shane sat back and gave her a slight nod, truth was Lori wasn't much older than her maybe 7 years older but Uncle Ricks sister was a late bloomer and had her kids later in life so they were all closer in age. "Brooke ?! oh thank god we saw that you had left and thought you were gone….." Brooke smiled. " Oh you know me nothing can kill me, wait…. Where is uncle rick?" The look of anguish on Loris face confirmed her fears when he hadn't appeared "he didn't make it did he? His wound must have just been too bad…" Tears welled up in Brooke's eyes ,she would wait to tell Reba as she had always had a crush on her uncle and would take it pretty hard. Lori hugged Brooke and so did carl, she sighed shaking her head "No more tears….uncle rick wouldn't want that….." Lori nodded her head. "Mom….. I'm hungry…. " Carl groaned, a woman with short hair walked up to us "We have some mre's if he's hungry I can go get him something" Lori nodded and thanked the woman but her husband soon intercepted her and she never came back with anything to eat, Brooke cut the man a dirty look and turned to Lori "We have left over spaghetti from earlier we made enough for some friends to come over before all this happened so yeah, enough to feed a small army, you guys come on in and eat some ok?" Not even minutes after brooke says that we here commotion and walk into the woods with Shane close by, seeing airplanes dropping bombs onto the city, we knew right then that things where a lot worse than they seemed…..
