I do not own The Walking Dead or Dawn of the Dead and I am not gaining profit from this story. But I do own Rikki and MY plot.

Enjoy :D

1 hour. 1 hour is all it took to change my life.

Now, I know you are all wondering what am I going on about. Well, let's start from the beginning, shall we?

"Hey, you, look behind you! They are coming! Oh gosh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I screamed at my television screen as I was watching Dawn of the Dead at 4 o'clock in the morning in Glenn's basement.

"Rikki, seriously, we've watched this movie like a gazillion times. You already knew that was going to happen." Glenn, my best friend jokingly said as he shook his head. Him and I do everything together especially sleepover at each other's houses randomly, like tonight.

"Oh shut up." I said, smacking his arm while laughing loudly. He grabbed his arm and faked an injury but before I could laugh in his face we heard a huge grunt upstairs and got really spooked. We heard Glenn's big brother, Tom, curse and start opening and closing drawers.

"Hey bro. Are you alright over there?" Glenn yelled as the joking mood turned serious.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just... just an accident... you and your girlfriend, need to shut up and go to sleep. Seriously, you've got school tomorrow and shit." he yelled after a brief pause from his room. He was one of those meat heads that exercised every day. He was really buff and really dumb too which was why I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at the direction that his voice came from. Even if he was dying, he would not admit it to anybody.

I sighed and Glenn looked at me weirdly. He knew how I felt about his brother and him calling me Glenn's boyfriend. I love him like a brother and that's it. Glenn and I are not dating and his brother knew that. But many people think that just because we hang out 24/7, that we are dating, which we are not.

Glenn and I took his brother's attitude as a cue to go to bed and get ready to sleep. "Night, Glenny." I said as I kissed his cheek and went in my sleeping bag. He slightly blushed and said, "Night, and don't let the zombies bite."

I grinned and rolled my eyes. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and how true was that going to be.

"Rikki. Hey Rikki, please wake up." I heard Glenn whisper with urgency as he was poking my shoulder. "What Glenn, my dream is really important today! I don't care if I'm late for school!" I said as turned around and ignored his tries at waking me up. This was our routine every time I slept over at his place. He wakes me up and I get mad at him for waking me up.

I didn't hear a retort to my statement and I knew something was wrong. I rose up immediately, my sleepiness forgotten as I turned to look at my best friend. I couldn't see Glenn's face but I knew that he was trying to hide the fact that he was crying. " Glenn?" I slowly said as I touched his shoulder softly. He turned around and opened his mouth to tell me what was wrong but he closed it as fast as he opened it. "Hey, you can tell me anything, okay?" I said as crawled closer to where Glenn was sitting. My heart was beating fast and I was scared that something horrible happened. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 7:10am and that I had 26 missing calls from a lot of different people Suddenly I heard a large boom at the door on top of the stairs and I flinched. Glenn looked at the door and then looked at me. He stood up and grabbed his lucky bat from his baseball years.

"Okay, Glenn. Tell me what's up NOW. I'm scared. If this is a joke, it's not funny." I said as I slowly stood up and backed away from the door. He put his index finger on his lips and I wanted to scream. This is not real. This is not real. THIS IS NOT REAL!

The banging on the door kept getting louder and louder and the door wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

"Rikki, okay. Um, my brother... he turned into a zombie. I know, I don't believe it either but just stay calm, get your things and get ready to get out of here." Glenn whispered as my mouth went dry. I knew he was telling the truth but I couldn't believe it. A zombie? This was a dream... or a nightmare!

"Um, how do you know this Glenn?" I asked in a voice barely above a whisper. He looked at the door again and started collecting things in his bookbag and even mine. He grabbed another bat and started to climb the window. I was conflicted, I wanted to believe my best friend but zombies are not real.

Even if zombies are my favorite thing to obsess over, I know they are not real.

"Are you coming!" Glenn said with such urgency that I had to go with him. I took one last look at the door and climbed out the small window in the basement.

This is how my adventure starts.

How do you guys like it so far? Is it okay? This is my first Fanfiction story and need feedback :D
