Katerina Grant looked blankly out of her front door. She had spent all of her life on the farm, and now she was sure she would die there. Her father had called her and told her to try and protect herself. The world as they knew it was ending, and it all started when the dead got up. She had gotten all the guns out of the safe and even boarded up the windows. None of the flesh eating things had stumbled onto the farm, and she was happy about that. Never in a million years had she expected to have to kill someone. She kept the door open just in case her parents came home. She hoped they were going to be home soon. Her parents were the only family she had in the state. The rest of her family had moved out of the state as fast as they could. They couldn't stand the state, and the heat was almost unberable. She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the families large truck. She seen blood wiped all over the white paint, and she was instantly mortified. Her parents wouldn't killl people unless they absolutely had to. She wondered how many flesh eaters there were. Her father got out of the truck with blood all over him. Her mother looked pretty much the same. She rushed out to hug them. Katerina thanked the heavens above that her parents were back. It was an answereed prayer in reality. Her mother said nothing when Katerina ran up to her and hugged her. The woman just stood there with wide eyes and a face covereed with blood. Her father quickly hugged her to try and distract her, but it didn't work. "D-dad what's wrong with her? She seems.. out of it." Katerina asked her father softly. He walked her into the house with his wife following slowly behind them. "She is shocked. Hasn't talked since a few minutes before i called you. Those things nipped her, and one bit me! I couldn't believe it!" Her father said while locking the door behind her mom.
Three hours later both of her parents were dog sick in their room. Katerina checked on them every fifteen minutes. She tried to pretend she wasn't scared when she checked on them, but truthfully she was terrified. She was afraid they were going to die and she'd be left by herself. They lived on a small farm about ten miles from any towns, and had no neighbors. Her only real friend lived about an hour away in Macon. Katerina walked into her parents room with another bucket of water and some rags. Her father seemed to be sleeping and her mother was throwing up. She set the bucket down,and put her mothers hair in a messy bun. The woman looked up at her when she was done and placed her hand on Katerina's cheek. "Little Katerina... You need to leave. Lock the door of this room and don't come back. Your father is getting weaker and weaker, and it's only a matter of time until he turns into one of those things and kills me. There is no chance for us but there is for you. The keys to the truck are in the bowl on the table. Get all the food you can, your clothes, blankets, and any other neccesaties and leave the farm. I love you sweetie and so does your dad. Stay strong baby girl." her mother said with teary eyes. Katerina instantly started crying and shook her head. "No! It's just a flu! Y-you guys will be fine! Please... once you guys get better we will all leave together! The Grant family always sticks together! That's what you guys ALWAYS told me when i was growing up! Please don't die on me!" Katerina said between sobs. Her mother pulled her into a hug and kissed her cheek. "I seen what happened once you are bit. There are no ifs about this, only whens. I want to live. Now hurry and go! Before he wakes up. Take only what you need. Remember we will always love you!" The woman said quickly before pushing the girl away from her. Katerina nodded and locked their bedroom door. "I love you mom... I love you dad... save a spot in heaven for me ok?" Katerina let out softly before closing the door. She automatically ran into her room and started crying. About thirty minutes later she heard two gunshots coming from the bedroom that was her parents. She had cried so much that when the shots rang out she couldn't cry any longer.
An hour later Katerina pulled herself up and started to throw her clothes into the two duffel bags she had. Then she grabbed the duffel bag her old friend had given her the last time he came to see her. It seemed crazy that it had already been two months since he had last came to the farm. She shook those thoughts out of her head and started to pack a few blankets. After that she grabbed backpacks and garbage bags for food. She threw everything in the bags that wouldn't go bad any time soon. She filled two backpacks and half a garbage bag with it all. She knew that if things got too bad she could always go hunt for food. Her father had taught her when she was young how to build multiple traps and such. After she got everything by the front door she glanced back at the stairs, and instantly thought of something. She ran up to her room, and drug her matress off of her box spring. She pushed it out of her room and down the stairs. Once it was downstairs she covered it in plastic. After she was done with that she unlocked the door and ran out to the truck with all she could carry. She put it all next to the truck and went back in for the next few loads. When all that was left by the door was her matress she heaved it outside. After a few minutes she finally got it into the bed of the pickup, and then put everything else on top of it. She then grabbed all the weapons in the house and put them into the two back seats. After that Katerina was ready to see what was out in this new world outside of the farm. She put the pictures that she grabbed on the dashboard. She glanced at the one of her and Glenn taken last summer. She started the truck as she sighed. Glenn was her best friend ever since she was in third grade. They had met when they were around six, because his parents needed work and housing. Her father told them if they helped out on the farm they could stay there. Glenn and Katerina were instantly friends, her parents were happy about that. Since she was homeschooled she didn't have many friends. Out of everyone she called friends Glenn was the only real one. He moved out of her house when he turned eighteen with the promise that he would come see her everytime he could. He moved about an hour away into a little town called Macon. He surely kept the promise he made when he moved. He was back at the farm every chance he could be. Katerina could only hope and pray that he was safe in Macon. Before she could even think about she started driving the back way to Macon. She had to know. She had to see if he was safe. He told her the night before he was going to try to come see her that day. She knew that even if he did she would atleast find his car on the back roads. It was much easier to get there that way. She straightened up a little more in her seat and nodded. "I'll come and find you Glenn. Please be ok. I need you now more then ever." Katerina let out softly. Soon the rain started coming down ever so softly.
/So I know I changed a few things around, but I hope you all still liked it!
