Ch. 1 the outbrake

my name is Kat, I am currently twelve but soon i'm going to be 13. Ive lived in oakland and san francisco california for as long as I can remember….and before I can remember, my memory is not that great. My dad jonathan, is taking me to visit my cousins in Atlanta. My favorite cousin sophia is also like my best friend, she moved there a few years ago along with my other best friend felix, which is not one of my cousins.

"Bye mom, I love you" I hugged my mom sadly because she couldn't come, She waved goodbye with her comforting motherly smile that always made me feel safe. I hopped into my fathers red Volkswagen and buckled myself in. Car rides with my dad always made me nervous, It was always very silent and puts me off edge. Whenever i would talk to him in the car he would always shush me and say he has to focus because he's driving. My mind clears up from my thoughts when the car pulls up into the airport parking lot and I spring out of the doors feeling the cool air ingulf my body. The one thing im going to miss about the bay area is that its always cold, windy, or foggy, And thats going to be the opposite of Atlanta. I dont like the heat and humidity there, it makes me sweaty and tire easily, but it also makes my hair look better for some reason. I lug my suitcase out of the trunk and dash towards the airport not waiting for my dad. I love airplanes, because i feel so safe in them, theres a weird comfort in them to me, but i hate the airport itself. The airport is always so crowded and there are a lot of strange people there. Large amounts of people make me self conscious and nervous. My dad and i walk to the special service desk, he pulls out the small black gun safe he brings on trips and shows it to the woman. The shocked expression on her face shows she wasn't expecting this. While my dad shows them his permits a small scenario plays out into my head. In my mind my dad pulls out the guns and shoots at the ceiling, but instead of bullets its confetti. My brain sometimes makes scary scenarios in my head into something funny, i dont know if this is my way of coping or its a weird brain issue.

I walk down the narrow rows of seats trying to avoid eye contact, sometimes i feel i have issues with being in public. I take a cozy window seat and look out at the busy airport people carelessly throwing luggage into the plane, A little anger wells up in me when i see this. My mind slowly wanders to the thought of sophia and her so called friend she tells me about, she talks a lot about her friend but honestly i don't think she exists. She was telling me about how her "friend Aj" likes this guy chris…. i think thats his name, and how she's trying to get them together or whatever. Crushes and stuff are strange in middle school, because its the age people expect you to like someone yet also you're expected to still be a child which is confusing and makes no sense. My old school was a private rich kid school, i hated every second i spent there, luckily i had one great friend that didn't act like a bitch that bragged about money and petty problems. That girl, Melanie, became my best friend in california and helped me whenever i picked a fight challenging the popular girls about random stuff that just made me lose my temper. Melanie met felix once and had this weird crush on him which i didn't understand. I did understand crushes because i did….do have one, he knows i like him and he likes me too but we've never kissed nor gone out. I have so much to tell Sophia and Felix, especially discuss zombie related things with felix. Felix and i were obsessed with the idea of zombies, Me and him both knew it but we never admitted it but we both kinda hoped for a zombie apocalypse. Sophia hated horror and gore so she never watched any zombie movies with us. My brain reminded me of times i spent with felix and Sophia i cant wait to see them. I laid my head on the uncomfortable seat and drifted into slumber.

My senses shot up to the sounds of a flight attendant speaking rapidly and the faint words of the pilot's radio.

"dad! whats going on!?" i asked a little bit worried. He shushed me as he tried to listen to the pilots radio.

I heard two horrifying words "zombies everywhere!" afterwards came a scream. 10 seconds of shocked silence went through the plane followed by frantic speaking, yelling, and sobbing. after all of those years of hoping and thinking im ready for a zombie apocolypse i realized i am not prepared, right now im on a freaking plane thats going to land in a zombie infested airport! im not ready for this. I felt sudden emotions of fear and sadness that I didn't understand

"everybody, calm down. we are going to land in the outskirts of atlanta, We were told that the city is a safe zone" the flight attendant tried to say calmly, but i could notice the fear breaking through. the plane landed roughly but safely, everyone ran to the luggage compartment.

"dad we need to get the guns" i whispered into his ear. We got up from our seats and raced for our luggage, it was so crowded i felt like i was going to get trampled! We dug through a huge pile of luggage, i was elbowed in the jaw twice and my feet throbbed from being stepped on so many times. I felt like i won the lottery when we found our suitcases. I took out my sketchbook from my bag while my dad got the four guns from the small black safe. Airplanes will never have a feel of comfort for me ever again.

My dad and i bolted away from the plane to the city. The city was at least a mile away but that would be easy to run, cross country payed off! yes! i silently cheered in my head, but my joy ended seconds after when i saw the first zombie, the first real zombie. my body froze not wanting to move. Fear struck my body like a wrecking ball.

"dad?!" I asked in a deep zone of fear. He didn't answer but instead took out his gun aiming at the things head. *BANG*

"Ahhgg" i squeaked in surprize.

"you could've at least warned me!" i yelled at him. My ears now rung from the loud earsplitting shot.

"We should keep moving" He said roughly and kept walking. uhhg i'm an idiot, this is the fucking zombie apocalypse i can't freeze up like that. tears slowly started dribbling down my cheek but i wiped them away quickly trying not to show emotion. this shit is happening to fast, that was the first zombie and i froze up, that action will get me killed! my thoughts vanished when we saw the city. This has to be the safe zone! I bet sophia and Felix are still alive there!

I darted my eyes from side to side glancing at everything. This doesn't look like a safe zone, there are cars and buses crashed into buildings and some had bullet holes through them.

"Oh shit" i screamed. a huge hoard of zombies were coming down a bend in the street. they instantly noticed us, they were slow but still close enough to get us. We darted into an alleyway. I lunged behind a dumpster making my back hit the wall hard, I wheezed in pain but held my hand over my mouth holding in the pain and heavy breathing. I shoot my dad a desperate look of fear as the hoard moves by. I cover my eyes trying not to let tears escape. Tears make me feel weak and unpowerful.

We wait a minute after what we think is the last zombie to pass by. As we wait i stare at the black cemented concrete starting to slowly daydream. Tears escape my eyes as an image of my mom being bitten crosses my mind, this time I don't hold back and let every single tear to break free. I cant assume she is bitten yet, the disease probably hasn't even reached california yet, she won't get bitten….she can't be bitten!

My dad and I have come across a small sign reading King county. We walked to secure looking home. The door was unlocked so we walked in, the creaking floor under my shoe put me on edge a little bit. My dad walking in front of me, holding his 9 millimeter loaded and safety off. He gestured me up a flight of stairs as he peered around a corner. two zombies were pounding and scratching at a door with the name "Aj" on it. My heart sped up and seemed to pound right out of my chest. The two woman zombies lunged at us, my dad shot the brunette one right in between the eyes. I backed up against a door scared out of my mind. My fear instantly turned to pure rage as the pretty blonde zombie crunched its teeth into my dads right shoulder, everything seemed in slow motion. Rage and adrenaline filled my system and without thinking i whacked my hardbound sketchbook with all the force i could into the zombies head. before the thing could get up again i smashed the sketchbook into its skull repeatedly until its brain was mushed and my face covered in a mist of blood. I slumped to the floor in exhaustion and shock. I looked over at my father, his blue eyes were filled with fear.

"Dad just hang in there you're going to be okay" I said my voice shaking and tears slowly dripping out of my eyes.

"I love you Kat, I always have and I always will" he said in a rough hoarse voice.

"Dad! stop saying this i know it already! theres no need when you're going to live!" I shouted with tears rushing down my face like a waterfall.

"I love you.." his hand fell limp in my hand.

"Dad! wake up…. wake up!..you're not dead..You can't be" I said choking with each word and sobbing at the same time. I hugged my dad tightly and didn't let go. Why did he have to die out of everyone why him! anger boiled up in my body. I grabbed a nice china face and smashed it to the floor, each tiny piece shimmered as it was shattered on the bloody floor. I kicked my foot at the wall and stammered back in pain.

"Why… Him.." i screamed and smashed another expensive looking vase.

It had been an hour since my dad died, i didn't feel any sadness or rage anymore and that feeling of nothingness made me scared and overwhelmed. I stammered into the bathroom and looked at my self through the mirror, It had been only about 5 hours since the plane and I managed to look horrible. My black fitted skinny jeans had holes through the knees and were tattered at the hem, my loose grey hoodie was now soaked in blood along with my black undershirt, and my hair was a tangled mess of brunette blood soaked hair, my face was covered with a mist of blood, the sight and feel of warm blood on my face was enough to make me puke out the last meal of disgusting airplane food i had in my system. I looked straight into my grey eyes, I just killed someone!

I went into the girl Aj's room and curled up on the bed imagining what more the world has for me, why is this happening now, I am not ready for this but who is. It was dark outside, i looked out of the window and saw a small piece of fabric caught on the window sill, That girl is smart, she jumped!
