The Bloody
Apocalypse
I was peacefully sleeping in my nice, comfy, double bed, when suddenly I heard my bedroom door open. I opened my tired eyes and saw a dark figure slowly walking towards me. I turned on my bedside lamp and looked at the figure. It was a bloody ZOMBIE!
"Ahhhhh!" I screamed as I grabbed my perfume and sprayed it in his eyes. The zombie moaned as I kicked it to the ground. I huffed and puffed as I jumped out of bed and shut the door. I hit the zombie on the head with my small bedside table and knocked it out! I then quickly dashed across my room and grabbed a jacket and put it on in a rush. I grabbed a grey bag out of my closet and unzipped the zip. I shoved my perfume, a spare t-shirt and pants, some underwear, a teddy and some crystals in my bag and slowly opened my bedroom door. I heard someone eating something in my mum's room, but I didn't look in case there were zombies in there. I tiptoed down the hallway, being careful where I trod, because my house was quite old and had lots of creaks. I put up my fists and checked the kitchen for any signs of life. There was none, so I cautiously tiptoed over to the cutlery drawers and slowly and quietly opened the top drawer. I carefully reached in and, one by one, pulled out all the knives in the drawer. I suddenly stopped and listened for any noises in the house, but only the munching coming from my mum's room. I quietly sighed in relief, put two serrated-edge knives on the bench, and then put the rest of the knives in my bag. I slowly opened the fridge and listened for noise.
None. I thought to myself in relief. Wait, NONE?! I panicked as my heart began to race. No… Wait… Munching… Ok… I'm ok… I thought as I sighed in relief and looked into the fridge. I'm not too sure what to grab… My mind's racing… I thought as I searched the fridge. Nope… Nothing that I need… I realized. I slowly and quietly moved to my snack cupboard. I took out some chips and biscuits, and then I slowly walked out the back door and slowly opened the garage door. It creaked a little, so I looked around for any zombies. There were none, so I walked through the door way and closed the door behind me. I ran down the drive way, Ninja style, with a knife in each hand, the blades facing behind me. I heard a faint moaning noise coming from down the street. My eyes rapidly searched for any zombies. I turned the corner at the end of the street and saw a zombie walking down the road. When it noticed me, it started to walk towards me, so I raced towards it and stabbed the left side of its head with my right knife. I then took out the knife and stabbed its neck. The knife went all the way through the zombie's neck. I pulled the zombie towards me by the knife and then shoved it back and cut off his head. Blood poured everywhere as the zombie fell to the ground, dead. Blood squirted all over my shirt and covered the blade on my right knife. I ran down the street as quickly as I could.
Rule 1: Quiet as a mouse.
Rule 2: Always travel light. I thought as I repeated the rules in my head. I had a lot of rules for zombie apocalypses. I turned left around another corner onto a main street.
If there IS a zombie apocalypse, then there's gonna be a lot of zombies down here. I thought as I looked down the road. I was RIGHT! There WAS a zombie apocalypse! There were zombies walking up and down the street and some people were lying on the ground.
Rule 3) Double-tap. I thought as I went around kicking all the corpses.
Rule 4) Quick reflexes. I thought as I dodged all the un-dead corpses. I slashed a few throats and kicked a few heads in as I dashed through the swarm. I ran past a roundabout and had to stab a few more zombies.
"Get away from me!" I yelled to one.
Oops… Rule 1… I thought as I realized that I had broken my first rule. I sped up the street and turned down the next street on the right. As I turned the corner and raced down the street my eyes searched my surroundings while I thought about supplies.
I'm gonna need food and water, obviously… And I'm gonna need medical stuff… And I'm gonna need clothes… No! No… Just food, water and medicals… I thought to myself as I looked around warily. I decided to stop and walk instead to keep up stamina. I looked behind me several times in case I didn't hear a zombie that was coming behind me. It was really dark down that street and it had an ominous feeling about it… I didn't like it one BIT!
When I had walked down the end of the street, I turned left. I then turned right at the next corner. At the end of the street was my high school. Although the gates were closed, it didn't bother me. I jumped up and grabbed the top bar, then swung my body sidewards and put my leg up on top of the gate. I climbed up dropped onto the other side.
"Ok… Um… Which building…? Which building…?" I murmured under my breathe. I slowly and cautiously walked across the gravel towards all the buildings. I quickly checked my phone for any notices.
"Nope… Nothing…" I murmured. "May as well call Andrew…" I murmured as I dialled up Andrew's number.
"Hello?" Andrew said when he answered the phone.
"Hey. There's a zombie apocalypse, just like you predicted! I'm at the school. Where do you want me to stay?" I asked.
"Out of sight." He replied.
"Well, OBVIOUSLY!" I said with an "I know THAT much" tone.
"I know but… Just stay inside building 9 for now." He told me.
"Rule 5, lights off and rule 6, doors locked." I said as I hung up. I cautiously made my way to building 9 as I kept an eye out for any zombies. There were zombies hanging around all the buildings, but I knew how to get around them.
I slowly crept around building 9 and into a room on the left side.
My English room… I thought as I shuddered. I tried to open the door, but it was locked up tight!
"Damn…" I murmured as I panicked.
Ok… It's ok, it's ok… Calm down… OH! I thought as I remembered my knives.
Will this work…? I wondered as I took the sharp, serrated-edge and slid the point of the blade into the key hole. I turned the blade and picked the lock. I slowly and cautiously opened the door, walked in and locked it behind me, keeping a sharp eye out for any zombies. As I slowly turned around and held my knives up, ready for battle, I looked around the room with a MAJOR adrenaline rush!
No zombies so far… I thought to myself as I got on the floor and crawled across the room.
Once I had gone through the room, checking all the doors and checking for zombies, I hid under a table and called Andrew.
"Ok… I'm in our English room… I'm a little scared…" I said softly.
"Oh, ok…" Andrew said. "I'll be there soon." He continued as he hung up. I looked around one more time. I crawled behind an extra wall in the back-left corner and hid.
30 minutes later, I heard a knock on the side window. I peered around the corner with my knives in my hands, and saw Andrew!
"Andrew." I said softly as I cautiously walked over to the door, unlocked it and let him in.
"Thanks." Andrew said as he got inside.
"Did you get bitten on the way here?" I asked him.
"No. I saw a couple of zombies though." He replied.
"Ok… So, what should we do?" I asked Andrew.
"I guess we should see who's still alive…" He suggested.
"Oh yeah, and get them all down here!" I exclaimed quietly.
"Yeah." He replied.
"Ok! I'll call Kalan and some others. Any requests?" I asked.
"No, not really." He murmured.
"Ok." I murmured back. "I'll call Kalan." I murmured again. I took out my phone and dialled up Kalan's number.
"H-Hello…?" Kalan said when he picked up the phone.
"Hey, it's me. Listen, there's a zombie apocalypse just like Andrew said! We're both in building 9 at school. Can you meet us here?" I asked him.
"Um, yeah, I think I can. I'll be there in about 30 minutes, just let me pack my stuff, ok? Love you." He said lovingly.
"Love you too. See you soon." I replied lovingly as I hung up. "He'll be here soon." I said as I turned to Andrew.
"Ok. Do you wanna call Emily?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, sure. She recently got a mobile phone." I pointed out. I dialled up Emily's number and waited.
"Hello?" Emily asked when she picked up.
"Hey, it's Alice. There's a zombie apocalypse and we want you down here. Andrew and I are in our English room at school." I told her.
"Ok. I'll try to get there as fast as I can!" She replied. I said good bye, hung up and called Sydney.
"Sup Syd. There's a zombie apocalypse and I'm at my school. You remember the way, yes?" I said when she picked up.
"Uh, yeah. Where are you?" She asked.
"I'll send out a look-out to come get you." I replied.
"Ok. See ya!" Sydney said as she hung up.
"Ok… Cass is next." I said to Andrew as I dialled up Cass's number. "Oh, by the way, Sydney needs to be guided here. Can you please go pick her up in about an hour?" I asked Andrew.
"Uh, yeah… Sure." He said.
"Hello?" Came a voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Cass. I just called your sister and said that a zombie apocalypse has started and I want you two down to my school. You remember where it is, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course. But… What's with the zombie invasion…? Are you tricking me…?" She asked.
"No! I'm not! One of them came into my ROOM!" I said more desperately.
"Ok, ok… I'll come too…" She said tiredly.
"Ok, cool." I said as I hung up.
"So, who's coming…?" Andrew asked.
"Emily, Kalan, Sydney and Cassie so far." I told him.
"Ok… What do we do 'till then…?" Andrew asked.
"I don't really know, but I suppose we should wait here for my friends. Do you want any of your friends to come?" I asked.
"Maybe Leon, but that's it." He said.
"Ok." I said, nodding.
About 15 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Andrew and I looked to see who it was, and when I saw who was knocking, my heart SOARED!
"Kalan!" I yelled.
"Shhh!" Andrew sneered.
"… Sorry…" I apologised as I made a sorry face. I turned to the door and smiled. I ran and opened the door. "Hey, baby!" I exclaimed quietly. I pulled Kalan inside and closed the door, then locked it.
"Hey." Kalan said as he gave me a quick kiss. "I love you." He continued.
"I love you too." I said back lovingly.
The End… For NOW…
