Eric's POV:
Everything was dark, and I couldn't feel my body. Then I slowly began to open my eyes and all that they received was the fuzzy outline of a slender person sitting next to me.
"He's awake!" a voice rang out much louder than my ears would have liked. Then slowly, with much shuffling of feet a few more blurred figures began to appear. I tried to lift my head to take a better look at there outlines to try and discern who was gathering around me, but I seemed to be paralyzed, my muscles not wanting to respond to my demands. There was much murmuring and I felt a cold hand reach out and lay gently upon my forehead. It surprised me how incredibly cold and dainty this persons hands were.
"My gosh. He's burning up." a feminine voice said. Oh so it wasn't her hand that was cold, it was my head that was hot. Her hand moved slowly trough my hair and this brought relief to a pain that I hadn't even noticed was there, but I did notice when it faded.
"Eric, Eric can you hear me" it was a different voice but still female. I tried to respond with a yes but in my numb state it came out as more of an unintelligent groan.
"Well at least he's responding" yet another girls voice uttered softly. My gosh, how many were there? My eyes began to focus and things started to get clearer and what I saw surprised me, all of girls in my room were my friends from school. Kalila had been the one to put her hand on my forehead to test my temperature, and Lexy had been the unrecognizable blur that was sitting on a bed. And Shara, Nara, and Angie are standing around me. As I take in the sight of all of them around me I also notice that we are in my old room at my parent's house in the country and the blinds are drawn. Lexy is sitting on my bed and I seem to be situated on a very uncomfortable cot.
I try to talk again "what's going on?" but it comes out raspy and dry.
It's Angie who speaks first. "Don't worry about that right now. Can you move to get dressed?"
"I think so" I say pulling myself up to lean my weight back on my elbows and the blanket that had been covering me slides down to my waist revealing my bare chest. As the girls stare at me I begin to feel embarrassed and pull the blanket back up to my shoulders. As they sit quietly staring at me I look to them "well?" I say.
"Oh sorry. Come on girls" Nara says putting her hands on Lexy's and Kalila's shoulder. And at that they begin to file out of my room. Shara is the last to leave and closes the door after giving me one last look. I gingerly pull myself up to sit on the bed and raise my hands to rub my eyes. Every muscle aches and my ribs feel like they were used as a punching bag which made every breath in sting. Then I rise up and almost lose my balance but manage to grab a hold of my dresser. And then slowly begin the pain staking process of getting dressed. I emerge from my room a few minutes later dressed in my favorite blue jeans and a black-Tee. As I step out I stretch and look at the scene laid out before me, all five girls seated on the edge of the couch that faces my old room. I look at them quietly trying to choose my words carefully to be precise and to the point.
But before I can speak Lexy jumps up "you must be thirst and hungry. You've been out for three days." and she and the others all quickly rush over to the kitchen a few paces behind the couch and start to pull various foods and utensils out.
"but what's going on?"
"There'll be time for that later. Right now you have to regain your strength. Here, drink this." Kalila says holding up a large glass of milk. Realizing that I'm getting nowhere fast, I take the glass and quickly down it, coming to the conclusion that I'm actually much thirstier than I originally thought. Kalila takes it from me and fills it again and leads me over to sit down at the breakfast bar that looks out across the kitchen. As I sit I grown in pain from the attack my furious body seems to think me worthy of for abusing it.
"Do you need something" Nara asks politely.
"No, I'll be fine" soon the food is ready and I begin to eat ravenously as five sets of eyes watch me. As I finish the last bit on my plate I look up at them as they all lean over the counter to watch me. "Okay, time to talk. What is going on here?" they all look at each other trying to silently choose who will explain. Finally Angie speaks up.
"There is no easy way to say this and they don't really make a hallmark card for it so...." she takes a deep sigh "the world as we know it has turned into something like the game Left 4 Dead." I looked on in disbelief.
"You can't possibly expect me to fall for this, can you?"
"I think it might be best if you see for yourself. There is one that has been wandering around the front yard for the past couple days."
"What!!!! No way." I quickly got out of my chair and walked around to the front door that has a semi circle window at the top that I could see out of, and sure enough when I looked out it there stood, what I could only describe as, a zombie. He is standing out past the front porch gnawing on a gutter drain, mindlessly.
I turned around and looked at all five of the girls staring up at me. "Tha- Tha- This can't be real."
"It is" Nara say
"And we're the only one?"
"As far as we know" Shara whispers, afraid to talk too loud around the infected "we don't even know how we got here. We just woke up here three days ago, wandered outside a little and there they were, and we've been locked up in the house ever since"
"Angie" I addressed her "you said it was like Left 4 Dead. In what ways?"
"As in all the things that are in the game are here"
"We need weapons" I say in a determined voice.
"We looked but there's not much here. A few farm tools but the city...." Lexy states
"That is where the weapons and food will be"
"But that is where all the infected will be. We don't stand a chance against them" Shara interjects
"I didn't say anything about we. All of you are staying here and I'm going to the city"
They all look at each other and then Lexy speaks out "We won't let you"
"I won't put any of you in danger" I say sternly
"In case you haven't noticed, we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. We're going to be in danger no matter what. So we might as well watch your back." I stare hard at them all but none of them give an inch.
"Fine" I say in defeat "we leave for the city in two hours"
