Prologue: Chapter 1,
the DEAD getaway.
"What the fuck is going on!" I exclaimed. Running down an alley, behind my uncles house. My breath came in frantic heaves, as I ran. But i couldn't stop, if i stopped, those thing would get me.
There incredibly strong. I wouldn't be able to get away if they got ahold of me. I saw one grab a man with muscles as huge as a bull. And bring him down with ease. Then it started to devour him. His screams and cries still echoed in my ears. I gripped my katana, that my parents had custom made for me, close to my chest. The smooth blue steel sheath rubbing against my shoulder. My fathers Cross necklace dangled from my neck. Bouncing up and down as I ran.
"Shit...SHIT!" I yelled. Re-adjusting the single sling backpack hanging over my left shoulder. I quickly regretted that last outburst. As several of "them" came out from the exit to the alleyway right ahead of me." I'm not going to let you take me without a fight," i said to myself. Mostly to psych me up, then to intimidate "them".
Without hesitation, i swung my backpack over my shoulder, and around my back. With my left arm now free of restraint, i quickly swapped my sword to it. Now gripping the hilt with my right. I closed the gap between "them" and myself.
"Four meters, three meters," I said to myself, " Two meters. One!" With a glint of light and a metal shing. I cut down the three corpses, with one draw of my blade. Their heads sliding from their shoulder.
Blood spurted everywhere as "they" collapsed. The edge of my sword had a fine line of gore, down the length of the blade. My Fujimi High, school uniform, which i fell asleep in the night before, was now cover in the crimson liquid of the bodies laying at my feet. I dare not look at my handy work though. I feel as if i may vomit at the sight of their headless bodies. Hastily I sheath my weapon. I can hear the moans of the dead coming towards my location. With a sense confussion and slight annoyance, i ran my hand through my short, now blood soaked, light brown hair.
"I have to get to uncle Yu's shop. I need to make sure he's safe," I said with worry in my voice.
Hearing the deads moans getting closer. I start down the nearly empty street, only a few walking corpses littered this particular street. I made sure to stay as far away from them as possible. They seem to not be able to see, it looks like they're only able to hear. To test this theory, I picked up a brink, that lay stained with blood, off the ground, and toss it a few meters away from my location. as i thought, the body started to walk away from its original position, and towards the direction I threw the brick.
"Good to know," I say to myself in a low tone. As I Begin to walk down the street again. A group of BlackHawks fly right over my head. "U.S. military? No that can't be. Theres no base around here. They must be Self Defence Forces,"
Lowering my head, i grip my father's cross in my hand and said a prayer for those men in those BlackHawks. I'm suddenly snapped out of my prayer, by moans only a few feet behind me. Quickly I duck and roll forward, as dead hands barely miss my shoulders. Getting to my feet I see a horde of at least twenty of "them" behind me. Theres no way i could take on that many corpses. So instead, I take off in the opposite direction.
I run down at least three blocks, before I slow down to catch my breath. "That was close, I need to be more careful and aware."
Now walking down the street, I notice that its uncomfortably quiet.
"To quiet." I half expected another horde to appear, as i mentioned that, Just like in the movies. "Oh how ironic would that be?" As i say that, a few corpses burst out of a store in front of me.
"Shit man. Cant a guy get a break!" Without hesitation, I drew my sword and charged the three bodies standing in my path.
I slash out the chest of the first, continuing with my momentum i cut down the second, and finishing the third with a thrust through the mouth. The three collapse a second later. By that time I already sheath my sword, and was walking away like a badass. I couldn't help myself, so i let a little smirk show on my expression. Although it didn't last long. Because now a new horde has started to appear around me again.
"Shit." I say under my breath, and bolt down the street again. But now I hear more than just moans. I can hear them scream and hiss as well.
Horror courses through my mind and body, as I frantically make my way down the street at top speed. "they" are now pouring out all over the street around me. The only way open to me is forward. I can't shake them. They just keep coming.
I approach a "T" intersection, a six foot tall, concrete wall, blocks my view. So i cant see whats around the corner of the wall. But its my only escape. Because now ahead of me, more corpses were gathering. Coming around the corner. I catch a glimpse of pink, then black...
