Mason woke up to a noise; she thought she heard something moving in the kitchen. It probably wasn't anything. Maybe it was one of her brothers. She rubbed her eyes and turned on the lamp. "Ugh, what time is it?" She said with a hoarse voice. She swung her leg lazily to the edge of the bed to turn herself. The alarm clock on the small table beside her read 4:00 am. 'It's not even sunny outside. Who is in the kitchen? She thought. It was cold and the air felt humid in her skin. She quickly became aware of the fact that she had a nightshirt that barely covered her. The jacket in her closet looked very warm and comfy but she knew it wasn't hers to wear. It was her moms. Her mom that passed away because of stupid cancer. That darn disease took everything from her. It wasn't worth thinking about it now; she had to check for whoever was in the kitchen.
Suddenly there was a crash in the kitchen.
"Whoa what was that?!" She quickly opened her bedroom door and ran down the stairs. The living room door was open and she heard voices inside, which definitely was not one of her brothers.
"Mason what's wrong?" A voice barely above a whisper spoke behind her. She turned around and saw her two brothers. Her eyes widened. If they are both here then who's down there?
"Mason?" Aiden, her youngest brother, spoke. He had big scared eyes and it made her feel faint.
"I don't know who is down there." She whispered to Daniel, her twin brother. Her eyes started to tear up and her fingers shook with fear.
Daniel took her hand and pulled her up the stairs with Aiden behind them. They slowly made their way to his bedroom and shut the door quietly.
"Did you see anything down there?" He started to pace. Mason nodded but didn't speak.
"It's ok just relax we will be fine just tell me what you saw." He started to show a weak smile on his face trying to reassure her.
"The door... It's open and I heard voices..." Her voice sounded small and scared.
Daniel looked at the door with a pale face. He started to pace again while chewing his thumb. It was a nervous habit and it would be weird if he wasn't doing it in this situation. 'We are all screwed' he thought.
"Aiden, what are you doing?" Mason spoke up. She looked at her little brother and saw he had a cellphone out.
"I'm texting dad." He explained. "Dad says that he is almost home. He called the cops and to just wait in the room together."
"Oh thank god" Mason breathed. How is it that neither of us thought of calling dad? A fifteen year old figured it out before two eighteen year olds.
Just then she felt a very cold breeze brush up through her body. She realized that she was wearing a very see through nightgown in front of her brothers. Her face blushed and she quickly took her brothers blanket and covered herself. When Daniel and Aiden noticed they got really uncomfortable and wouldn't stop squirming around the room.
There was loud screaming in the kitchen and Mason, Aiden and Daniel tried to listen through the door but the voices were muffled. There was a lot of crashes but then two shots were fired.
They all stood paralyzed in the room. Mason shook with fear. Daniel's face had no color and Aiden started to frantically text dad.
All of the sudden a car pulled outside and loud footsteps were coming up the stairs. Then the door opened and they all let out a huge breath. It was their dad. "Are you guys ok?" He said as he hugged all of them tightly.
"Did you check?" Daniel questioned. "Where are the police? We heard gunshots. Dad, what happened downstairs?"
"Son, please, calm down. Everything is fine." He tried to reassure them.
"No!" Daniel yelled. "There were gunshots. Everything is not fine. What happened?"
"Ok". The father said. He sat down in the bed and rubbed his head. "Remember the news cast we saw three days ago? About the disease spreading around?"
"Yeah" they all said in unison.
"Well it's apparently very serious and people are rising from the dead and... eating people."
"What?" Mason choked out.
Aiden and Mason sat down beside their dad.
Daniel blinked about a million times. "What? What does that have to do with tonight? Where are the cops?"
"People are freaking out and raiding houses for supplies to protect themselves from the human eating monsters." He explained. "It's gotten worse. The cops aren't here because this is happening everywhere. I guess they are too busy."
"What happens now?" Aiden asks.
"I don't know. The army is telling us to evacuate as soon as possible so... Tomorrow morning we leave. You guys pack right now and spend today saying goodbye to your friends. Chances are that you are never gonna see them again."
As soon as he said those words everyone froze.
"Try to get some rest in here. All of you. I'll take care of downstairs. Stay together and don't leave."
Mason started to cry and Aiden immediately went to get a mattress without saying a word. Daniel and their dad went outside the room to talk. Mason was all alone. She decided that it was the best time to change her clothes. She stood up from the bed and made her way slowly to her room. She changed to a pants and a shirt comfortable enough for sleeping and going out if needed to. She started to make her way to Daniels room when she saw her mom's jacket. She outstretched her hand and touched the soft, familiar jacket. 'What the hell, I can't think of a better time to use this. I'm gonna have to borrow this mom' she thought. She went to the room and cuddled next to Aiden and Daniel in the small bed.
