Chapter 2

Leo coughed out, slowly lowering Splinters body to the floor, as Splinter touched the ground, Leo backed away, unable to speak a word. Then Raph broke the silence once again, "Mikey…What…The f*ck is going on"

"How am I supposed to know?" He replied truthfully.

"How did you know that he was a fu*king zombie" Raph shouted.

"Stop cursing!" Don finally shouted.

Raph stood still, looking at Don, then turned his head and returned his gaze on Mikey. But Mikey was to deep in thought to answer Raph, 'I killed my father…but he was a zombie…oh my god…this is really happening'

He looked up at Raph, clearly seeing the fear emit off his face. Mikey looked back down at Splinter, seeing him peacefully rest on the ground. He didn't know what to say, or how to feel.

Don inhaled, something needed to be done, and they couldn't just stand there and awkwardly stare at each other. Don looked down at Splinter and felt knot form in his stomach.

"What are we going to do?" Don asked softly.

At first there was no response, and then Leo inhaled sharply and spoke, "If the dead is really alive and up there, then they can't touch us down here. So we'll just stay down here until this whole thing blows over" Leo spoke.

"But what about food?" Don asks.

"We've got enough food to last us for a couple months, I highly doubt this will last more than a month" Leo reassured.

Mikey hoped Leo was right, even though he knew it would be impossible for this not to last a month. But there have been more than enough zombie movies and games out there for people to know what to do and stop it before it gets bad.

"Raph what's the tv saying?" Leo asked.

Raph sighed and walked over to the TV. "Nothing, just saying we need to stay indoors" Rah responded.

Leo walked over to the TV and looked, seeing Raph was right, nothing special except the anchorman saying that he has no idea what's going on or how the doctors are saying that nothing like this has happened.

"Can I go back to bed?" Mikey asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Yes but stay down here, I want to keep an eye on all of you" Leo said.

Mikey sighed and walked to the couch, taking a seat next to Raph and getting himself comfortable.

"If I wake up and you're on my shoulder, I'm ninja kicking you're ass" Raph added.

"Thanks Raph" Mikey said, leaning his head on the back of the couch and closing his eyes.

Don sat down on the staircase and covered his face with his hands. Unable to accept what's going on. Leo walked up and went to talk to him, but stopped before he even spoke, the four of them heard tiny scatters run across the floor, they turned around and saw a small rat run across the floor and stop near the wall.

"I didn't know we could get rats down here" Mikey stated.

Don studied the rat, then noticed something near Splinter, he looked and saw another small rat, chewing on Splinters finger.

"Umm…Leo" Don said, pointing at the rat.

"What the" Leo said, bending over and picking up the rat, he noticed something odd about it. "Don! Come take a look at this" Leo insisted. Don quickly jumped up and walked to Leo, studying the rat.

"This rat isn't normal" Don said softly, looking into it's eyes and seeing a blackish red tint to it. "Let me see" Mikey said, jumping up from the couch and taking the rat out of Don's hand, he studied every detail of the rat. He then took the rat, bent down and put the rat close to Splinters finger and watched as the rat began to tear into the skin and revealing the flesh.

Mikey stared in fear, then watched as another rat crawled from the bathroom to the kitchen.

"Guys" Mikey said softly.

Then they all noticed as the rats ran around the lair, two turned to four, then four quickly turned to seven, and began to increase quickly.

"What the hell" Raph said, jumping up on the couch.

"Umm guys…these rats aren't normal" Mikey said, quickly jumping up with Raph.

"What do you mean there not normal!" Leo shouted.

"They're infected!" Mikey shouted.

Then the air duct above the TV gave away and tons of rats swarmed out of the vent. "Jesus Christ!" Don shouted as he rushed up the stairs.

"Don! The vents! Go cover the one in the kitchen!" Leo shouted.

Don stammered, then rushed to the kitchen, swept everything off of the table and flipped it over and began to push it toward the vent. Then the vent fell and rats flowed out, Don felt then brush against his feet, he jumped and tried to get away, but felt as he crush one under his feet, tried to keep his balance but fell over and hit the ground hard.

Leo watched as Don quickly became buried in the rats, "NO!" Leo shouted, unsheathing his sword and kicking the nearest rat. He slashed the ground and saw the floor quickly turn red. He saw Mikey and Raph jump down and begin to slash the rats.

Leo made his way to the kitchen and slashed the rats away, he saw Don waving his arms and trying to get the rats off of him, Leo stuck his hand through the pile of rats and felt Don's arm, grabbed it and pulled him out. Don quickly lifted himself up and held onto Leo.

"We need to get out of here" Leo shouted, Mikey and Raph nodded and ran to the lair door and open it. Leo kicked the rat before following Raph and Mikey. When they made it to the tunnels, Mikey turned to Don, "Don! We're you bitten?" He asked quickly.

"No, they just crawled on me" Don said truthfully.

Then the rats spilled out into the tunnels, "GO!" Leo shouted as he sprinted down the tunnel, getting closer to the ladder. When he made it, he skipped rungs and pushed the sewer lid out. He climbed out and helped Raph up.

When Don and Mikey reached the surface, they all took a deep breath, then there ears quickly filled with the sound of moans and screams. They're fears were confirmed, zombies spread out across the streets, one shot a look at the four of them, growled, then ran full speed at them.

"RUN!" Mikey shouted, they sprinted down the street, looking back, they saw zombies running full speed toward them.

"They're running! They're not suppose to run! Why are they running" Raph shouted.

"Just keep running!" Leo shouted back.

Mikey felt his muscles strain from how fast he was pushing himself, he always wanted slow zombies if they ever took over. But no, they had to have the fast ones. Mikey's thoughts faded away as Don screamed, "In that diner!"

Mikey looked forward and saw a diner coming us fast, Raph got there first, he opened the door and waited for the rest to get there. The rest ran in and Raph slammed the door just as the zombies hit. He groaned as the zombies pushed against the door.

"Help me!" Raph screamed.

Leo quickly ran to the nearest table, turned it over, broke the table leg and slid it through the door handles. Raph backed away and watched as the zombies grew and pushed against the door.

"Shit" He muttered.

The four of them saw as the zombies pushed harder against the door, Mikey saw cracks form across the glass.

"Oh no" He said.
