I awoke. It took a few seconds for me to understand what was going on. As my eyes started to gain focus I realised the fact that I was looking up at my younger sister Stacy. The panic was clear on her face. Our eyes were locked for a fraction of a second longer.
"They're coming," she breathed.
Instantly I was sitting up. In an attempt to jump out of the bed my feet got tangled in the sheets and I came crashing to the floor wildly thrashing and hit my head. I relaxed, drew in a few deep breaths and then climbed to my feet. Stacy stood in place staring at me wide eyed.
"Come on Stacy we have to leave," I said quickly.
"Krista, are you ok?"
"Who cares," I hissed, grabbing her arm and dragging her to the back door of the house. Straining my ears I could hear that there were no zombies behind the house. Zombies had to be the noisiest creatures in the world – which, in recent times, was not much of a world at all – they were easy to hear especially when they could smell humans. They were outside the front door. In minutes they would be in the house. I was so nervous. I had let us run out of ammo. I had been careless and now we were in so much trouble. We had to hurry if we had any chance of getting out.
"What are we doing?" Stacy questioned.
"We have to escape out the back door, we have to run, YOU have to run, no matter what happens I want you to keep running."
"But Krissy, what's behind this house?"
"A small backyard, it leads on to what looks to be a forest. Look I don't know but our best bet is if we take off through the forest, chances are the zombies won't be able to keep up. Now come on." We crept down the hall and reached the back door. "1, 2, 3," I flung the door open and we both leaped out of the house and tore across the backyard. The adrenaline rush felt awesome. Power coursing through my body. Together in one fluid motion we flung ourselves over the back fence and landed running. By now the zombies had realised we were no longer in the house and were hot on our trail. Thankfully zombies are as clumsy as all hell and struggled getting over the back fence. The terrain in the forest was rough and the zombies were falling behind fast. We had been running only a short time before coming out at a large building which upon further examination was a grocery store. The sound of the zombies had disappeared. I motioned to the fire door and Stacy and I continued running to it. We crossed the car park and stopped at the large door.
Stacy spoke, "What if there are zombies in there?"
"Then we are in no worse a position than what we were back at the house." I replied confidently, before pushing open the door.
