Serenity finished brushing her teeth and went to the computer. The country life was boring but safe. She liked the feeling of isolisation. Sometimes it got lonley though and that is where the internet came in. She quickly signed onto her messanger.

Heartless love has signed in.

Heartless love: Hey how are things in the city?

Slow death: Not to good. Some weird disease has gotten out and everybody's going crazy. People are eating each other and kinda lurching around. They look like they belong in a Romero movie.

Heartless love: Damn that sucks. Does anybody know what's going on?

Slow death: No. My mother is hysterical and can hardly move. I think her bite got infected.

Heartless Love: Someone bit her!

Slow death: Yes and it looks bad.

Heartless Love: Maybe you should get out of the city for a bit; you don't wanna get hurt do you?

Slow death: Where will I go?

Just as Serenity is about to type back somebody starts to pound on her door. Getting up she goes to the door and opens it. Riley and Vanessa stumble in. Serenity's closest neighbors. They were pulling somebody along. Rileys girlfriend Kim. Serenity steps aside and lets them in.

"What happened?" She asked avoiding Riley's eyes. Serenity had always had a thing for Riley and it hurt her to see him with that bitch Kim.

"Some guy came onto our property and attacked Kim." Riley said, "I beat him up but he bit a chunk clean outta Kim's arm. Vanessa came over hearing strange things were going on and we decided to come and see if you were O.K."

"I was just talking to my internet buddy, oh crap I just left him there!" Serenity rushes back to the computer.

Heartless Love: Tyler why don't you come out to my place? I live 50 miles west of Wayward inn.

Slow Death: Sounds good. My mother just died I'll be there soon what's your street number?

Heartless love: 39666 hope to see you soon.

Slow Death has signed off.

Serenity turns back to the three people surrounding her couch. Riley has torn his shirt and is trying to stop the bleeding on Kim's arm. Serenity approaches the couch and looks down at Kim. Her face is horribly pale and she is breathing fast. She is sweating and crying.

"RILEY!" She screams. He bends down next to her and strokes her hair whispering to her, trying to calm her.

"I think she's gonna die…" Vanessa whispers. "That guy must have bitten a vein or something…"

"Nobody can scream that loud and die." Serenity says looking in Kim's eyes. They are looking rather strange, blank yet full of some plump unimaginable horror. Serenity pushes Riley over and leans over Kim's face. She started to pant her breath fogging Serenity's face. Then she stopped breathing.

"She's dead." Serenity says this her eyes fixed on Kim's glazed eyes. Then they changed full of some blank knowledge as she lunged foreword and bit into Serenity's shoulder.

Well I'm leaving it here please feel free to tell me what you think if its liked then I'll continue the series if it isn't then I wont.
