Still Alive
Chapter 1
Sydney slowly cracked open her eyes, having slept so heavily from have a sleepover at her best friend Rydia Hail's home. They had stayed up all night playing Donkey Kong Country on her Super Nintendo she'd had for ages now. Slowly sitting up, she heard and felt the rumble in her stomach, signaling that she was hungry. Sydney looked over at the clock to her left. 8:37AM. It was WAY too earlier, but there was no way she was going back to sleep now. She looked to her right to see a sound asleep Rydia giving out small snores and quiet exhales. Her hair was a mess and... was that popcorn in her hair?! Sydney chuckled and ninja'd her way out of bed, hoping to not wake the other girl. She shook her legs, trying to get her Jack Skellington pajama pants readjusted.
She sighed and stretched, looking as if she was trying to touch the ceiling. She grabbed her glasses off of the nightstand that was accompanying the clock and continued to head downstairs and get breakfast. She held onto the banister, still wobbling from not being fully awake. She then went to the kitchen and opened the fridge, rubbing her eyes and searching for the milk. Half & Half... Juice... Random energy drinks... microwavable meals... Ahh, Milk. She grabbed it, enjoying the cold sensation on the pads of her fingers. She grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and proceeded to get some low-brand cereal she had never heard of and pour it into the bowl. She heard a distant gurgling noise and stopped mid-pour of dousing cereal with milk. She kept the milk in hand and walked out to the living room, giving a guess that that was where the sound was emitting from.
"Oh... Fuck Me..." Milked spilled on the clean carpet and splattered on the white wall. There, limping around the living room were Rydia's parents, skin falling off the bone and chunks of flesh missing. They gurgled, groaned and growled. Sydney sped through the kitchen, up the stairs and burst into Rydia's bedroom. "RYDIA. GET THE FUCK UP. I THINK I MIGHT BE ON DRUGS!" Sydney screeched, yanking the covers off the blonde girl. The now awake blonde groaned and attempted to grab covers that were no longer present. "Five more minutes..." Rydia whimpered, curling into a ball and attempting to fall back asleep.
"No. Get up. NOW! YOUR PARENTS ARE FUCKING ZOMBIES, BRO!" Sydney pulled Rydia off the bed, getting a large thump from the floor. Rydia shot up, mostly from the news but also from the fall. Sydney was rushing around, grabbing her everyday clothing and quickly dressing. She hopped over to the door, pulling up her stocking and shutting the door, locking it as well. Sydney began packing up a backpack with basic life essentials. Toilet Paper, shampoo, conditioner, soap, medical supplies, pepper spray, and a lighter. Rydia was huddled on the floor, hugging her knees and sobbing uncontrollably.
Sydney scurried over to her and dropped to her knees in front of her. "Ry, look. I know your parents are gone and it's a damn near shame because those were some nice people, but you have to get a hold of yourself. They're gone, and we don't know if they'll be on our side for any longer. We have to get out of here and go some place safe. I doubt your parents are the only ones who've turned to flesh eating psychos." Rydia looked up, wiping the tears from her eyes and getting dressed as well, shaking but still managing to do what was best. Sydney looked for anything else that would come in handy and spotted a metal baseball bat. She grabbed it, swinging it just for good measure. They were ready to leave.
A scream sounded from downstairs. The girls ran down, through the kitchen and dining room, into the living room. Maddy was there, struggling against her own parents whom had turned. Sydney walked toward them, strong footsteps and ready to swing. She had an opening, and she swung. A loud 'CLANG' sound and the siblings' mother Jen's skull was bashed in, brains splattered everywhere. Rydia screamed, tears streaming down her still red face. Maddy looked too shocked to react. Sydney then swung at their father, getting the same result, only this time the bat got stuck. She tugged and tugged, finally getting it out and fell on her ass.
"Oh god… I'm going to be sick!" Maddy covered her mouth and proceeded to make gagging noises, trying to keep the fluids in her stomach. "We need to get out of here. Now. We should go to my house, I think my Dad still keeps his guns and ammunition in the shed out back."
The girls all head out after Maddy got herself some extra clothing. Walking down the street, you can see people limping, growling and hissing just like Rydia and Maddy's parents had. There weren't thousands, but enough to get brought down one by one. The girls stayed quiet, keeping to the bushes and trees, hoping to not be seen by the walkers.
Sydney didn't live far, about three to four blocks away. They climbed over the chain link fence, attempting to make as little noise as possible. Rydia's pant leg got caught on a stray piece of metal. She tugged and tugged, ripping her pants whilst freeing herself. The girls crouched, pacing to the large shed in the empty back yard. Sydney fiddled with the combination lock that kept their weapons captive.
"Come on you piece of shit… "Sydney said through clenched teeth. A low gurgling noise could be heard from behind the three girls. Slowly, they turned around. Eyes wide, mouths agape.
"S….Sebastian?!"
