Part One: Memories
As its teeth sank into my arm, I could see my life flash before my eyes.
Five months earlier
I heard a loud beeping near my bed and sat up. "Crap… its seven thirty already? I'm late," I needed to get to school right then. I got up and got dressed and did my morning routine. This was the day it happened. I was late for school, and I was quite mad at my brother for not waking me up as he usually did. Little did I know I would thank him for this. As I was getting ready, I heard a noise from my brother's room. I was scared, my brother should've already left for school, or so I thought. I opened the door and looked around. My brother had skipped school, he was playing Halo 4. "Jacob, c'mon, why aren't you at school?" I asked. "I could ask you the same question, Caleb," "Touché," I replied. My brother was brunette like me, he had green eyes, while I had blue. We both had glasses. He was wearing a hoodie on his bed, the Kingdom Hearts Heartless insignia; he was wearing jeans, white tennis shoes, and a green T-shirt. I wore a grey long-sleeve shirt with black sleeves, jeans, and black shoes. "Jacob, get in the car, we don't have time with this. Let's get to school, I hate it as much as you do," I said. Jacob reluctantly turned off the Xbox, put on his hoodie, and grabbed his bookbag, I grabbed mine, and we got into my Chevy Impala.
We drove through the streets, and an unsettling felling washed over me. The streets were completely empty. We arrived at Hurricane High School in thirty minutes flat. As I drove around, about to park near one of the stop signs, a man sprinted into the car, diving onto my hood. I slammed the brakes, the ten miles per hour to a zero, the man flew into the sign! I was stunned, and I turned to Jacob. He had the same shocked expression on his face that I had. I cursed under my breath. We got out of the car, and ran over to the man. He looked dead, his skin was cracked and pale. "Is he… dead?" Jacob asked. "I think so, what do we-" I was cut off as the corpse jumped up, grabbing me, pinning me to the ground. His eyes were a haunting pale yellow, and he hissed, his voice sounded as if the man was from hell. A black ooze that smelled like blood poured from his torso at an alarming rate. He didn't appear fazed. He held me on the ground, and before I could react, Jacob grabbed his head, and held him back. He kicked the thing into the sign, and fell to the ground, and tried to get up. He hissed, and I stomped hard on his neck, a sickeningly loud cracking noise was audible as the beast fell limp.
"What was that? A… zombie?" Jacob asked. "Relax, zombies are only in movies, this has to be a dream or something," I got up to my feet, sighing in relief. We walked on the sidewalk to the school doors, and I peered in the windows. There was a man inside, I knew this person, it was my friend, Lucas. He was sitting on a chair in front of the door, a bat in hand, he was sitting in a chair until a person I knew, Chris scared him. Lucas jumped, holding the bat in defensive position. "Ah, Jesus, man. Next time, prank or not, I will hit you," Lucas said. "Sorry," Chris laughed. Chris' mom had dated my dad at a point, and they eventually married. He was my step brother, we didn't get along too well, but we knew we had to act civil to each other. Lucas had finally taken notice of us. "Jacob, Caleb? Is that you?" he asked. He walked to the door and opened it, letting us in. Chris did not seem happy, and turned, walking away. "Hey! Where're you going, Chris?" Lucas asked. "I need to get supplies from the gym, you know, weapons," and with that, he ran out of sight. Lucas' fake smile vanished. "Jackass," he said. We all laughed.
