In a House on Haley Rd just off rout fifty nine out side Pontiac , Michigan . A young women woke up from the same horrible nightmare she been having for the past week . Her breath was shortens and each breath she took was fill with the cold night air .
"Get a grip Cheyenne." She said to her self in the bedroom .
She was covered in cold sweats . It was still dark out side and the house was still quiet as it was before she fell asleep . She looked at the clock next the bed on one of the night stand . It was two thirteen A.M. . So she got out of bed and grabbed her rifle and went to check on her little brother Trent in the next room down . She turn on the hallway light and walked down it to where he was sleeping . Trent was thirteen but would be turning fourteen in a few mouths . He had short brown
hair .She cracked the door open . He was out like a light still . She stood there watching him sleeping . It took her mind off this crazy world they lived in . She couldn't help but smile at how peaceful he looked sleeping . She looked down at her watch . It was three ten so she went back to bed . She laid back down and covered up and thought about how they had gotten to that place . Two months ago when the world went to hell and became a nightmare . It all happed so fast . Each day the number of peoples that became infected would grow higher then the day before it was unbelievable .
Her Mom, Dad, her and Trent was hiding in their cabin in the wood ever scene it all started . They were safe there until a week ago when a group zombies found them . There folks didn't make it . As they were tore apart and eating alive by the zombies . She still heard their screams and there last words . Run babies run . Get away .
Trent was frozen with fear . Cheyenne had to picked him up and run as fast as she could to there car . To escape the nightmarish seen . That was when her and Trent set out to look for their three uncles .She didn't know what else to do . Uncle Ned was the last one they hadn't found yet and they didn't know if he was alive or dead like the others . She didn't know what they would do . If he to was dead to . She stated to cry at the thought of that and she cried her self to sleep .
The nightmares didn't come back .She awoke to birds singing out side her window . She got up and went to check on Trent again . He was still asleep . She stood there for a little bit before she went get cleaned
up . She had just finished taking a shower and now stood in front of the mirror looking at her self . Her body was wrapped up in a huge white towel and a her head wrapped a smaller one . She stood looking at her self . With her hair hidden by a towel . She undid the towel on her head and her hair fell to her shoulders . She had long black hair . She started to dry it with the towel .
Cheyenne was going to start her first year at John Hopkins . She wanted to be a good doctor and surgeon like her mother . Through out the years her mother had showed her how to clean treat wounds and diagnose most illness . She read every medical book her mother owned and mesmerized most of them . She was a truly gifted girl . Her mother know she'd be a better doctor then her and said it many time . But that not going to happen now . She brushed her teeth before getting dressed . She then went to wake Trent up .
"Hey Trent wake up . Trent wake up." She said .
"What Chy." he said as he sat up rubbing his eyes .
"It eight twenty five you want some breakfast or you just want to get going to uncle Ned place." She said with a small smile .
"Yeah I could eat . Get cooking women." Trent Said with a smile .
She glared at Trent and said "I'm not your slave ! just because it the end of the world doesn't make me your slave."
Trent was shocked . He throw his arms up and said "Ok relaxes I just fooling." He smiled to help sell it.
"Fine ill go make breakfast . You get a cleaned up." She said as she stormed off from the bed room door way .
Trent picked an outfit from his duffle bag and got a shower . When he got down stairs breakfast was done and Cheyenne was at the table waiting for Trent . She didn't look happy .
Trent stop and thought . I hope she still not mad at me for picking on her . He then took a deep breath before going to the table . He sat down across from Cheyenne and look at what she had made for breakfast . There was eggs, bacon and toast . He started to make a plate for him self . When Cheyenne tried to say something .
But Trent stopped her before she could finish and said . "I m sorry Cheyenne about earlier . I was just kidding honest." He said .
Cheyenne smiled and said . "Thanks Trent but I just wanted to say I m sorry for yelling at you I've just haven't been sleeping to well lately."
"Cheyenne it ok and you don't have to explain your self to me . Now let eat." Trent said .
She smiled and nodded her head and started to eat . They finish breakfast and cleaned the dishes before leavening in there folks black two thousand and ten Nissan Murano LE . They were on rout Fifty nine heading to uncle Ned place in Barren Oaks on Barren Oaks'dr Rd next to Crystal Lake .
They pulled down in the Culs-de-sac around ten . At the end was a tan two story house with a brown roof . It storm shutters were shut . Cheyenne backed in the Murano onto the house drive way . Before getting out they both looked around the Culs-de-sac to see if there was any ugly's that might have seen them and would be likely following them . It was clear they got out of the car and entered the house . Cheyenne along with Trent swept the house for uncle Ned or Zombies .
There was no sigh of neither . So they went and checked the back yard for him . Cheyenne stepped out on to the back porch and saw a pile of dirt with a hole in the ground next s it . Stay here and watch my back . Cheyenne said to her little brother . Ok Trent replied . Cheyenne slowly made her way down the porch and to the hole in the ground . When she got to the hole she notice a body and the body was holding a pistol in his right hand on his side . It was uncle Ned . Behind his head on the wall of the grave about three maybe or four feet from the bottom of it was darken circular stain in the dirt .
Then she realized what he did . Uncle Ned dug his grave and then committed
suicide . She look down to the grass . That when she noticed a note in a Zip lock bag under a rock . She picked up the note and read it . She walked back over to Trent .
"What is it Cheyenne?" asked Trent .
Cheyenne kneeled down in font of Trent . She place her hand on his shoulders and said calmly . "Were going to be ok Trent . But uncle Ned dead."
"How and What are we going to do now?" Asked Trent with fear on his voices .
"Well he was bitten by one of them three weeks ago . He didn't want to become one of them . So…he dug a grave and left a note before killed him self . And don't worry will be fine . I'll think of something Ok." She answered with a smile .
"Yeah ok." Trent said while looking at the ground .
Cheyenne then said ."Trent I'm going to bury him . So I need you to keep a look out and watch my back ok."
Trent nodded and went to a better spot in the yard . So he could keep a better watch over his sister . Cheyenne went back to the grave and started to fill it in . After a while Trent offered to take turns filling in the grave . So his sister could have a break . They took turns throw out the time it took for them to bury their uncle . After they were done they ate a quick lunch just before noon .
"Cheyenne . What do we do know." Asked Trent again .
"Well I was thinking that we could find uncle Ned keys to his gun store and get better gun along with ammo . We can do that after were done eating." She said with a smile .
"Ok sound good to me Sis." Trent said
They finished lunch and started looking for the keys to the gun store . They found them hanging on the wall next to the font door . So keys in hand left for down town Pontiac to uncles Ned gun store . They pulled in across the street from the gun store . They looked around to make sure it was safe to get out and when they felt that it was safe they got out . They slowly walked across the street to the gun store . It was the only story with windows on both sides of the front door . The windows had protect steel bars across them . The door way was sunk into the wall a little . There a steel bar collapsible sliding gate over the door . Cheyenne went through each of the keys on the keys chain . It was the fourth key she that belonged to the gate . After she unlocked it she lifted it up and it slid up its tracks . It stopped and stayed there in place . She then started looking four the key to the front door . As she tried the first key Trent looked down the street at the intersection the one they didn't use to get to the Gun store and saw a group of zombies appeared from behind the building at the end of the block that they were on .
