The cool temperatures of autumn dropped considerably that day. This however, didn't stop people from leaving their houses for either business or pleasure. The mall was packed with hundreds of souls walking from shop to shop, browsing through the items. Faces came and faces went just as soon as they appeared. Half of the people had received their paycheck in the prior days and were looking for something in which they could spend it to gain a little self indulgence. Nobody noticed anybody else in that hectic day. They were all too submerged in their own commercial pampering to notice a young male in between the age of twenty and thirty teetering about the mall, his eyes frenzied and his jaw open. The young man stumbled close to a woman sitting at a café, sipping her coffee and checking her paperwork. Without any previous warning he toppled over her, biting her nape and growling violently. Security was called, ambulances were on their way. Not long after the attack the woman dropped to the floor and entered a state similar to that of an epileptic attack. People surrounded her and tried to help the poor woman out. A few seconds later, she sat stood up and avoided eye contact. She suddenly jerked her head in the direction of an old lady and ran towards her, foaming by the mouth. She sunk her teeth into her and took a chunk out of her flesh. This action suddenly took a domino effect turn, the infected bit the healthy and the healthy got infected and so on. Panic broke free and dispersed throughout the mall. People rushed to their vehicles and tried to escape only to be stopped by military forces situated in the exits.
"What are you doing?! Let us through!" A man shouted as he approached the exit by foot.. An officer pointed his gun at him.
"Get back! Get back or I'll shoot!" He yelled in response. The man stopped dead in his tracks. The swarm of people behind him did so too. "We were ordered to put this place under quarantine until the CDC arrives. Everybody stay calm." He shouted as he aimed his gun at any civilian who dared to move. And they kept them in, save for a little girl who had managed to escape through one of the air ducts. She had red eyes and a foaming mouth. The girl began to walk towards the main street in which she reached a school.

A young brunette browsed the TV channels, a bored expression in his features. He was lying down on the living room couch where he had just finished his homework. He stumbled upon a news channel and something caught his eye.
"They quarantined a mall?" He murmured to himself. His brother then entered the room and kicked the brunette off the couch. He then proceeded to establish himself comfortably with a bowl of popcorn on his belly.
"Asshole." His little brother snapped as he settled for sitting on the carpeted floor. His brother chuckled as he ate his popcorn.
He then offered some to his sibling as an apology. "What's up with that?" He inquired as he read the news. His little brother shrugged and gladly accepted his offer.
"I don't know. Something about a new virus breakout on Sacramento or some shit. I didn't finish listening because a certain asshat threw me off the couch." He sneered. His older brother chuckled and mussed his head as he switched channels. The brunette remained quiet as he fiddled with his thumbs, a sudden foreboding feeling sprouting in his gut. "You don't think it'll reach us right? The virus?" He asked his brother, earning a grimace from him.
He then chuckled. "Boy, Raynold. You gotta lay off the zombie apocalypse movies; obviously not." His brother said, making said Raynold roll his eyes and stand up. He then made his way to the kitchen where he found Rose, their housekeeper. The blonde turned around and smiled lovingly at him. she placed a grill cheesed sandwich on the kitchen counter and beckoned him over.
"Eat. You are getting scrawny." She ordered him as he sat down. The brunette rolled his eyes at her and laughed.
"Okay, mom." He teased. The blue eyed woman chuckled and exited the room, leaving Raynold all alone with his thoughts. The feeling from before appeared again and he shivered. He then cleared his mind off the topic and ate. But still somewhere deep in his mind, the feeling never really went away.
So what did you think? This was only the prologue so bear with me please! Well hehe... SSL Out!
