Chapter 9

Sonny's POV

My mom was stood right infront of me. Her black hair was tangled and knotty. Her face was blood streaked and pale. Her eyes were white and small. Emotionless. She wasen't my mom anymore. She was a monster. She was snarling at me. I felt sick. Suddenly she lunged for me. Her sulphuric breath made me gasp for air. ''Get...Mom..get of me!'' I screamed. I had dropped Hope. Hope started barking. Grady ran forward and scooped him up. Then he smashed the abandoned van window with a metal pole and put Hope on the back seat safe. Then he pointed his pistol at my mom who was mauling me. ''Mom..get of me..please!'' I screamed. Suddenly i heard a gunshot. My Mom stopped snarling and trying to rip my throat out. She went limp. The bullet had pierced through her head. I started screaming and sobbing uncontrolably. I rolled my moms dead corpse off me and shakily stood up. ''You idiot!...you killed her!'' I screached at Grady.

He looked confused. ''She..was trying to kill you Sonny!'' He shouted back. He climbed through the broken window on the abandoned van and started the engine. ''No!...I bet Chad's dead...I bet he's one of those things!'' I screamed. I attracted the attention of some zombies a few meters away from me. They stopped what they were doing and started stalking towards me. ''Sonny...Get in the van!'' Grady yelled. I put my head in my hands. ''No...No..no this cant be happening!'' I sobbed. ''We need to find Chad and the others!'' Grady shouted. I stood up ''No!..i bet the others are dead too!'' I screamed. Grady got out of the car and roughly dragged me to the van.

He opened the drivers door. ''Im...im not driving!'' I screamed. ''I want to be with my mom!'' Grady wasent litsening. He forced me into the drivers seat and sat next to me on the passanger side. ''Sonny...im realy sorry about your mom...we realy need to get going'' He said quietly. I caught hold of my self. I dident answer Grady. I started the engine. Then i stampted on the foot peddle and the van threw itself forward. ''Sonny...What are you doing!'' Grady yelled. ''Getting revenge!'' I shouted. In the midst of throwing the car forwards i ran over and killed about five zombies. Hopefully the ones who killed my mom. ''You brainless freaks!'' I screamed. Then i turned the van around and carried on down the street.

''Where exactly were you when the zombies got to you?'' I asked Grady. ''Just down there'' Grady pointed to a small narrow passageway. I nodded and followed the passage untill we came to a tall brick wall and an old fence. ''This is where you were?'' I said looking round. ''Yeah'' Grady replied getting out of the van. I got out too putting a pair of sunglasses on. ''Where did you get them?'' Grady questioned when he saw me. ''The back seat'' I murmerd. Then i spotted a long wooden stick. It looked sharp and deadly. Thats why i picked it up. ''Whats that for?'' Grady murmerd. ''No more nice Sonny Munroe'' I mutterd hitting the wall with the stick. ''Hey theres a ladder'' Grady said. I nodded and walked up to it. ''You sure its safe?'' I mutterd looking at the clearly unsafe ladder. ''I bet its where they went'' Grady said. He started to climb it. I haden't managed to blurt my secret about me being scared of heights. I started to climb the ladder. ''Oh god'' I murmerd. The ladder lead up to a small buildings roof. Grady grabbed my hand and pulled me up the rest of the ladder. When we got on to the roof i forced myself not to look down.

''Where now?'' I murmerd clutching my stake as i liked to call it. Grady ran over to the other side of the roof and looked down. ''Woah...'' He shouted. Clearly he was amazed at how far up we were. I wasent. ''Grady!...We can sightsee later...where now?'' I shouted over the wind. He nodded. Then he ran over to some steps. I ran down them followed be me and we ended up infront of a Sock factory. ''Do you think they are here?'' I whisperd as Grady slowly opened the metal door leading into the factory. the door creaked loudly. I held my stake as defence. ''Clear'' Grady mutterd. I nodded following him into the huge dark room. ''Where's the light?'' I murmerd. ''I dont know'' Grady answerd. I nodded. ''Okay...this is creepy'' I whisperd. Suddenly the lights switched on. I was blinded. I looked round the room. the room was full of socks. Of every colour and size.

''Hey! Who's there!...Im armed..'' I heard a very fammiliar voice shout.

Oh my god!

I watched Chad come into view. He was holding a pistol like Grady. He was pointing it at me untill he recognised me.

''Oh my god..Sonny!'' He yelled.
