Prologue

The wind blew harshly over the huge beach somewhere in Florida. It picked up the sand in wisps and then sent it back down. Three people, two men and a woman, were getting ready to leave the beach. One of the men paused his packing and looked at the stormy sky. He was wearing blue swimming trunks and a matching sleeveless shirt. He brushed his thick brown hair out of his hazel eyes.

"Wow, looks like it's gonna be a big one."

The other man looked up as well. He was wearing red trunks with a blue, unbuttoned Hawaiian type shirt. He was blonde haired and blue eyed. "Yeah really. We better get to the car before it starts raining. We parked in the sand and if it's wet we'll probably end up pushing it out." The woman frowned at the thought of pushing the car up off the beach. She wasn't one to do that sort of work. She wore a tiny yellow two-piece bathing suit with a short skirt. Her dirty blonde hair was medium length and hung loose. In the wind is swirled about her shoulders.

"Hurry up Matt." She complained. The man in blue nodded and went back to packing. When he finished the three of them started to turn away from the sea when Matt suddenly yelled and pointed at it. "Hey guys! Look! There's a boat sinking out there!" The other two looked and saw a semi-large ship sinking. Suddenly a large blue and white tentacle picked it up and tossed it at the beach. It landed about a hundred yards to the right of the group, tilted slightly toward them and mostly in one peice. The man with the red trunks gapped in amazement. "Holy- did you see that?!" The woman tugged on his arm. "Let's get out of here!" The man freed himself from the woman and took a step forward.

"Wait, we gotta see if there's anyone in there."

"Judd! What if that thing comes up here?!" The woman complained. Matt started to follow Judd. "Matt!" Matt turned to look at her. "Come on Lucy, we'll see then get outta here." Lucy pouted and glanced at the sea as she and Matt followed Judd. When Judd reached the ship he climbed on deck then helped Matt up. He reached down for Lucy but she shook her head.

"Uh uh, no way. I don't want to see any dead bodies!"

Judd sighed and rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on! What if that thing comes up here like you said?" Lucy's face turned to a pout again and her blue eyes glared slightly but she reached up and let Judd pull her aboard. Matt and Judd started looking around and yelling. Lucy followed them, still pouting but now looking more frightened. "Hello? Anyone here? Hello?" They reached the bridge and saw a man slumped over the controls. Matt checked for a pulse while Lucy clung to Judd's arm. "He's dead." Matt said grimly. Lucy shivered. "Lets get out of here." Matt nodded. "Right." He turned to face Judd and Lucy when the dead man grabbed his hand. "What the-?!"

The man turned his head to face them. His head turned a little farther than it should. His eyes and mouth were replaced by empty black holes, though the mouth was filled with sharp teeth. Lucy screamed and Matt tried to get the zombie off of him. It bit his arm and Judd grabbed a fire extinguisher, hitting it in the head. Instead of bleeding the zombies head cracked like glass, though it didn't shatter. The zombie fell back with a moan and the three ran. Tears were streaming down Lucy's face as they reached the deck. Matt looked back to see the zombie reaching the doorway. "Go, go!"

Judd helped Lucy down and she started running towards the car. The water had come up the edge of the boat so her feet splashed in it. Matt screamed and Judd looked back to see the zombie taking a bite out of his neck. Judd jumped to his feet but Matt slumped to the ground, dead. The zombie turned to Judd and he jumped off the boat and followed Lucy. Tears were still running down Lucy's face and she tripped in the water. It was about ankle deep. A huge wave came up from the water and it looked like it is about to hit her. Lucy screamed.

"Lucy!"

Just as the wave reached her it stopped and hovered over her, like a frozen picture. Judd stopped and he and Lucy looked at the wave, confused. The tears on Lucy's face had stopped flowing though they are still there. Slowly Lucy's hand came up.

"Don't touch it!"

Judd said this too late. As soon as Lucy's finger touched the water it fell and she screamed. When the wave went back into the sea Lucy was gone. Knowing he couldn't save her Judd ran to the car. He jumped in the driver's seat and tried to start it but the engine sputtered. He got out and instead of running he stupidly opened the hood. The engine was covered in a thick web and several strange spiders were crawling around. Over the abdomen of the arachnids was a hard white shell that looked somewhat like a skull. Judd took a startled step back. He heard clicking noise behind him and slowly he turned around. There stood an enormous version of the spiders in his engine. It reared up and he screamed.

This is the end of the Prologue. I hope you liked it. I know it doesn't seem like a fan fiction yet, but that part's coming. This was edited from a script since we're not allowed to post stuff in script format so it may not be great. Anyway, comments and friendly criticism are loved. Flamers will be ignored and eventually blocked, so please don't waste your time. I'm thinking of making a comic out of this (hence the script format) so if you're interested in seeing it mail me. If I get enough people wanting to see it I'll post a link here (if I ever get around to it and if I'm allowed to post links).

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 1 coming soon... ish...
