Chapter 1: The Darkness of the Night's End
Jared, Alex, and Jake started running through the crowd, making their way to the gate that leads to the school campus. The crowd was running in the opposite direction towards the stadium entrance.
"Where are we going Jared?" Alex yelled to Jared as they were running through the gate.
"We're going to the Band Room, we need to get our things and get to our car." Jared said to Alex, not looking back at him so he wouldn't hit anything. Suddenly a small group of zombies turned and saw the brothers running towards the school. They started follow them.
"OH, CRAP. WE'VE GOT COMPANY!" Jake yelled turning and seeing the zombies following them. The zombies started catching up to the boys and tried to grab Alex's shirt. Alex screamed and turned around while running backwards.
" LEAVE ME ALONE!" Alex tightly gripped his baritone and whacked the zombie across the head. The zombie moaned as it fell to the ground with its skull broken open and oozing brain matter. Alex's jaw dropped as he stared at the dead body.
"I just killed a zombie." Alex said quietly after he turned around and continued running. Jared then stopped in his path, turned around, and held his trumpet to his mouth. He played a loud high C. The sound of the note caused the zombies to hold their ears and scream. Jared took advantage of this, gripped his trumpet tightly like a baseball bat, and swung it at the zombie's head. Its head flew off its shoulders and hit a wall. The body when fell back and leaked blood out of its neck.
"HOME RUN!" Jared said as he laughed and started running again. Alex then started holding his saxophone, turned around, aimed the reed piece at the zombie's head, and swung down, impaling the reed into the zombie's skull. Making it fall down to the ground.
"Alright. That's all of them." Said Jake as he turned around and caught up with Jared and Alex, who were already at the band room resting from the run.
"What's next?" Alex asked to Jared. He was breathing heavily.
Jared walked over to his locker and grabbed his lucky ball cap and red 80's sunglasses. "I don't know." Jared said looking at Alex with a face of worry. The trio gave a heavy sigh and walked over to their truck. Jared took the driver seat while Alex took shotgun, leaving Jake in the back seat. Suddenly, zombies saw the boys starting up the truck and started running over to them.
"Ugh guys, we've got company." Jake said as Jared was backing out of the parking space. Alex, turned and saw the zombies and tapped Jared on the shoulder. Jared then looked through the rear view mirror and he switched to drive and floored it out of the parking lot. He drove onto the street and continued going.
"Alright, I say we get supplies. We'll need food, weapons, medicine, and clothing if we wanna survive this." Jared said as he started driving towards a Wal-Mart.
"Sounds like a solid plan." Said Alex still looking through the mirror.
"Alright, next stop… WAL-MART!" Jared said stepping on the gas and driving towards Wal-Mart. A dark, figure was watching them from afar.
"I SEE GREAT POTENTIAL IN THEM.", the figure said in a distorted voice. Its voice sounded almost feminine and young, as if it was a little girl. She then disappeared into the shadows and followed the boys in their truck to Wal-Mart.
I realized this story has short chapters after reading through it. So it might not take you too long to read.
