I know…I know…a new story is the last thing I need right now with all this clutter but I just can't help it. The idea came and I wanted to see how this goes so enjoy…There will be references to OCs.

Caroline jumped. She heard a weird noise from downstairs. She slowly dragged the blanket out of her way and got on her feet. If she wasn't mistaken it was the noise from her mother's gun. Liz Forbes was the town sheriff. One of the best sheriffs Mystic Falls has ever known.

"Mum? Is everything alright?" Caroline yelled as she started approaching the bedroom door. Another bang was heard from downstairs and made Caroline frown as she stopped dead in her tracks. She got no response. Caroline rushed down the stairs and entered the living room to see her mother with her gun in her hands and covered in blood standing like paralyzed. At the centre of the room there were two bodies that Caroline identified as their neighbours Mr and Mrs Collins. Caroline rushed above them. She looked back at her mum shocked.

"Mum what the hell did you do?" Caroline said looking at her mother who was still not moving and had her eyes wide open.

"I don't know…they were just…not themselves." Liz said dropping her gun and feeling her eyes fill with tears. Caroline stood up giving her a questioning look.

"Sweetie…I think it's happening." Liz said and Caroline lowered her eyes troubled.

Bonnie was in her living room. She was sitting on her couch listening carefully to the news. The virus was spreading really fast across the States. In Virginia things weren't that bad so far fortunately. She was worried about her parents Abby and Rudy. They were visiting her grandmother Sheila at Salem but Salem was already in quarantine. There was a huge possibility that they wouldn't come back soon.

"The first symptoms include aggressiveness that is slowly increasing. In the next stage the carrier experiences extreme hunger and thirst that can not be easily satisfied. Within two to three hours the carrier is no longer considered to be human. There are symptoms of extreme brutality and there are even recorded cases of canibalism. The virus is believed to spread through blood,saliva and sexual activity with a carrier. Its origin is still unknown and that is a huge obstacle in finding the cure. Lock your doors and be careful." The reporter said and Bonnie's eye s widened as she closed the tv. She got up and looked out of the window.

"God help us." She whispered looking at the desert road outside her house.

The Gilbert twins were also home. Katherine was changing the channels as soon as there were breaking news on tv. She had enough with all this virus bullshit,she thought to herself and she turned the tv off disappointed.

"What are you watching?" Elena asked entering the living room.

"Nothing…I was thinking of watching a DVD….mmm…maybe Dawn of the Dead?" Katherine said looking amused at Elena who gave her a weird look.

"Seriously Katherine? What we are going through it's not funny and not to play around with." Elena said taking a seat next to her sister.

"Well…I was always curious to see how a real life zombie apocalypse would look like so.." Katherine said and Elena moved her head in disaprooval.

"Come on sis. I am just kidding." Katherine said and smiled at the worried Elena.

"Where's Jeremy?" Elena asked worried after a long pause.

"He said he would stay with Tyler at Matt's." Katherine said while going through the dvd selection.

"I just hope they're not messing with the curfew again." Elena said and sighed.

"Come on what's taking you so long?" Matt yelled at his sister.

"Don't yell at me. You're not the one wearing higheels." Vicki yelled at Matt while climbing down their big garden fence as fast as she could. Of course they wouldn't stay inside now that their mother was drunk and asleep.

"Who told you to wear higheels?" Matt complained and Vicki stuck her tongue out at him.

"You know I like to be pretty around Jeremy." Vicki said and Matt smiled.

"When Jeremy asked you out for the first time you had acne problems and you were wearing flip flops and boy shorts….i don't think he cares about your higheels." Matt said.

"Oh shut up. You're not a girl so you don't understand." Vicki said angrily and started walking towards the Grill. Matt followed her.

At the Grill Tyler was already fooling around with his girlfriend Liv Parker while her brother Kai was playing pool with Enzo. Jeremy was patiently waiting at the door for Vicki and Matt to arrive. The Grill would normally be closed but Anna and Hayley kept working since they couldn't afford saty closed not even now with the curfew.

"Any news from your brother?" Kai asked Stefan who sighed troubled that he was losing.

"He is still out there doing researches along with his collegue Alaric Saltzman. They now believe that the mixture of some herbs would be able to stop the virus but they are still testing." Stefan said and Kai nodded.

"Well I heard my sister talking about it on the phone. That the scientists need a patient from the hospital to be the subject of the trials. Meredith Fell refused. Joe told her that everyone carrying the virus is already a lost cause. They decided to do it after all." Kai said taking his shot carefully.

"And who's going to be the subject? I didn't know the vrus had appeared in Mystic Falls." Stefan said frowning.

"It hasn't yet but with the first recorded cases…they will choose someone…and probably isolate or kill the others." Kai said and Stefan lowered his head.

"What are we going to do now?" Caroline asked worried looking at her mum who was pacing around troubled.

"Alert the police and alert the hospital." Liz said grabbing her phone. Caroline was looking at her mother as she was speaking on the phone with the deputy and then with Meredith Fell,the manager of Mystic Falls hospital. Caroline noticed sounded extremely tense at the phone and then it hit her. Her mother was in contact with the victims' blood.

It's not big I know but there's a lot we haven't seen yet. Next time at Mystic Falls all hell breaks loose. When are we going to see the Mikaelsons?
