Maximum Apocalypse

By: Kora

"Where are you?" Mom yelled into her phone.

"I went for a hike, I'm fine don't worry." I put so much emotion into my words I hope she would be okay, and understand enough from that, which was nothing..

"Why?" She seemed sad but her voice was rushed.

"Just need to get some stuff of my mind," I whispered in a low monotone that my mother probably barely heard.

"Oh, I understand, is it Dylan?" She said her voice was cold and cracked at the end instead of her usual warm inviting voice. I was silent, Dylan, my boyf-ex boyfriend. He seemed so perfect, His sea blue eyes that you could look into and tell exactly what he is feeling. The golden blond hair. And the white, perfect warm inviting smile. His bronze tan skin. He seemed so sweat, yet underneath every perfect thing about him he was a jerk. Who cheated on me only because, I wouldn't get in his pants. That flipping Man-whore!

"Oh Max I'm so sorry, you were to good for him anyways mija," she finished with soft comforting words.

"Whatever he doesn't matter." I mumbled. I started walking home, only five minutes from my house. When I herd a loud crash.

"Mom, Mom!" I screamed into the phone.

"I put you sister in the her bathroom and locked the doors. Don't come in. I'm going to the lab. I may not return protect your sister!" She yelled the last part I herd a crash. Then their was silence. And my signal failed. With that I sprinted home. It started getting dark and when I arrived home the car was gone. We had about three acres of Arizona land with my sister Ella, me and my single Hispanic mother. Yes I'm proud to say I'm half Hispanic, through if you looked at me you wouldn't be able to tell.

My light brown hair flowed down my shoulder with natural sun-streaks in it. My tall figure was 5,8 very tall for a girl. I had a gold tan and was very fit considering all the sports I play.

The door was locked so I went around the front and saw the door ripped from it's hinges thrown on the patio. It was bloody and from the looks of it new. I stumbled into the house. And it looked like a tornado went through the place. Everything was broken on the floor with blood everywhere and hand prints. The orange drapes covering the window. Were ripped. Once I checked the perimeter I crept upstairs. I went into my room. Found my switchblade and then went into my moms room and found the gun. I finally went to the door on the right and found scratch marks on it. It was open. Blood was all along the corners. As I stepped into the room I saw a man on the floor. Dead from the looks of it. He had pale green skin his black hair was in chunks. And his black eyes were rimming with purple. I twitched realizing this was my old best friends dad.

I listened and crept closer to my sisters bathroom. And I herd sobbing. After the dead man I did not know what to expect.

"Ella, Ella you in here?" I knocked on the door. There were scratch marks all over the door. Then the door opened slightly. And a black haired girl peeked out. It was Ella a clear copy of mom except younger. Her thick black hair fell down to her waist her. Dark tan skin. Reflected the light off the bear windows. And her deep brown eyes filled with tears. Then another two heads popped out. Nudge, Ella's best friend, who had dark mocha skin, that was flawless. Dark brown golden tendrils bouncing every time she moves. And a blond head. With golden curls popped out. Blue innocent eyes full of shedding tears. I immediately reconsigned her. Fangs sister. My Fang, my first love... my only. He moved in with Iggy our best friend. But every since that day were just not friends anymore.

"max?!"The emotion in her voice was unbearable she was scared. Angel gaze moved past me to the dead man in Ella's room, her dead father. And with that they all ran and hugged me. I held them and there sobbing bodies for a while.

"We need to save them." Angels tiny voice rang out. She was right we need to find fang, Iggy and Gazzy. After we all let go. We got ready.

We found three bags and filled them with bottles of water, emergency kit. Clothes snacks and weapons. Angel, being the youngest at seven, may be the most mature. She didn't cry when she saw her dad. She moved on so we could save everyone else. And with that Angel jumped on my back. Me holding hands with Ella and Nudge. We set out with a gun and knife in both pockets. After a mile walk through the open space we finally reached Iggy's street. When we reached the house with the pale yellow walls and red brick chimney we stopped. Throughout are walk we saw a few of them...zombies. They all looked like Mr. Ride. We just kept low profile and cut across bloody lawns with dead body's.

I slowly reached for the door only to find it open. I looked cautiously at my surroundings. Then I saw Mrs. Ride, dead on the floor. Poor Angel was all I thought. As I crept into the house I had my gun ready at all times. There I found Iggy's parents dead. With a suicide letter. I picked it up and read aloud to the others.

Dear My family and friends,

I'm sorry to inform you I got infected, along with your father. We could not stand the fact of any of you getting hurt. From us. We love you and hope you can survive. I want you to find the Martinez family. Dr. M is working on the antidote. She knew this would happen. Iggy, my son I love you along with your little brother Gazzy. Protect him, please. Fang, don't loose what you love most in life. Get Max back. I love you all. Please be safe!

Love,

Mom & Dad

I was shocked as I read it. They must love them so much. And fang, does he still love me the way I love him. Things swim through my mind then a I hear something drop up stairs. I drop the note pull out my gun and push the others behind me. We all creep up the stairs. I follow the sound of the shuffling. And slowly push open the door I know as fangs room. Angel runs ahead of me and screams. I run in after her and follow her gaze. But I can't see anything. It's pitch black.

"Angel, Angel baby where are you? Follow my voice." I could hear the panic in my voice. And the low voice following after that.

"Max?" I herd a gruff deep low voice yell from next to me.

"Fang?" I shout.
