Disclaimer: I do not own the Walking Dead, just Breelynn and Ariya.
As I got off of my bike and unlatched my riding helmet, a walker came up, arms outstretched, trying to get ahold of my delicious flesh. I took out my knife and stabbed it in it's eye. I walked up to my childhood house and immediately my Mom yanks me in and slams the door.
"Well, hello to you, too, Mother." I say.
"I'm sorry, it's just I can't let those...things know we're in here." She pulls me in a hug and kisses my temple.
"Where's Ariya?" I ask of my 12 year old sister.
"She's in her room. Go let her know you're here." She tells me. "Oh, and I'm making spaghetti so don't go snacking around."
"Wait, how are you making spaghetti?!" Every town is out of power because of the apocalypse, and the fact that over half the population of the world is now crawling around lifeless.
"Your dad had 4 generators in the shed out back. Ariya was the one who remembered them when we lost power. We're still on the first generator too." She smiles.
I walk into Ariya's room and see her on her cell phone.
"You do know it's the zombie apocalypse, right?" I ask her.
"No Way!" She says sarcastically.
"Then why are you on your phone?"
"I'm trying to get more followers on Instagram, duh!" She says.
"Go outside and scream, you'll have a lot of followers then. Just don't trip or they'll eat you." I tell her. She laughs and gives me a hug.
''So...where's Jonathan?" She asks. I look down and tears threaten to spill out.
"Oh no! What happened to him?"
"He was out getting supplies for us while we were camping in the dorms at the campus and he wasn't careful." I said, a single tear coming down my face.
"He got bit?"
"Worse. He was with Glenn and he tripped and Glenn tried to grab ahold of him but he could only get ahold of his cross necklace so it just broke off of him. Glenn came back and told me. He gave me Jonathan's necklace and then just left. I haven't seen him since." Glenn was our cousin. We were very close cousins; him, Ariya, and me. We used to spend half of our time together.
"So for all we know Glenn's dead too? Along with Jonathan?" She started crying. Jonathan was my boyfriend for 3 years, until that night, and we got in a huge fight and he said he was going to get supplies.
"DINNER'S REA-" My mom's sentence was cut off with a high pitch, blood curling scream.
"MOM?!" We bolted out the door to the kitchen, where a walker had broken in through the glass door and was eating my mom, who was laying on the ground. It turned right as I slammed my knife into it's eye. It fell over my mother. I look over at the glass door where other walkers were starting to see us. There was no repair. I turn to Ariya, who's surprisingly not bawling her eyes out anymore, just in complete shock.
"Go pack your stuff. Fast. Meet me at the front door. GO!" I shoved her and she woke out of her daze and sprinted to her room. I went over to the cupboards and stuffed all of the non-perishable foods into a duffel bag and turned to stab a walker who had made it's way in. I pulled my knife out and ran to my mom's room. There, I grabbed all of my dad's old guns and ammunition. I ran to my old room, where my crossbow was sitting neatly on my dresser. I grab it and the arrows and shoved all of it into another duffel bag. I then grabbed my knife collection my dad had given me when I was 11. I went back into my mother's room and grabbed my dad's wedding ring off of her dresser and when back into the kitchen, shot three walkers with the crossbow, and took my mom's wedding ring off of her. I shoved both rings into my pocket and went into the living room. There, Ariya was waiting on me with 3 duffel bags.
How are we going to be able to fit all of this on my bike?
An idea popped into my head as we ran out the door. I gave Ariya my knife and told her to stab any walker in the brain if they came near us. I ran to my dad's old truck and hotwired it (no time to search for the keys) and put my bike in the bed of the truck. I threw all of our duffel bags in the backseat and hopped into the driver's seat. I yell at Ariya as she's stabbing a walker to get in. She yanks out the knife and hops in. I slam on the gas cause a huge herd of walkers had spotted us. We drove out of the small town, and onto the highway. We had no idea were headed, just that we had to get out of there.
I hope you guys like it! I promise it is going to get better! If you couldn't tell their dad had died before the apocalypse even started. Please follow, favorite, and review! Constructive criticism is welcome and gladly accepted!
