"It wasn't a hallucination, It wasn't a combination of wind-driven shadows and her own imagination, It wasn't a holdover from her dream, a momentary phantom glimpsed in the perceptual no-man's-land between sleeping and waking.

Blaine
Mr Anderson, is a man with a purpose ( today's being a fender). In his book, Anyone who dares to get in his way is a shit head. He's A regular card carrying member of the Asshat club of America. An elite group of folks, people who believe everything and everybody is a means to an end, and if you weren't, then you need to get the hell out of their way. So naturally in his mind the group of people coming their way, were there to help him.
Mr Anderson, "See I told you someone would come." He gets out of the car, "Stay with the car Blaine, I'm going to ask them how much longer we will have to wait."
Blaine watches his dad walk away, inside he's cringing, knowing by the set of his fathers shoulders, someone's going to get an earful. Bending over he roots for his Ipod, Gotcha, Sitting back, he closes his eyes and puts in the ear buds, Jeez he's already yelling, Blaine turns up the volume.
Quinn
Terror is currently her only wave length. The head lights on the black road, her eyes were black, turning trees into monsters. Oh God it's the end of the world and I was left behind, or I'm dead and this is hell. I'm being punished. OH GOD. Less than thirty minutes after watching her mother literally tear into a couple of men, she passes the welcome to Lima sign. If her hopes died on that dark road, then driving into the town was the burial of them.
Whatever's happening, is everywhere. There is no safe place. Smoke and the red haze of fire in the distance, destruction everywhere she looks. People, or more like pieces of people, scattered along the sidewalks and lawns. Them, more like her mother, eyes flashing black in the lights. She keeps driving, set on her course, even as they follow the car.
Rounding the corner to her gated community, she finds the guard shack abandoned and the gates shut tight. I just want to go home. Resting her head on the steering wheel, she glares at the closed gates. Anger taking over, she shoves her fear to the back burner and throws the car in reverse. Lining up with the gate, Quinn revs the engine. Three zombies appear behind the gate, arms stretching out toward the car. Screaming, "Die." she steps on the gas an plows into the gate.
A powdery haze fills the car and her head is buried in a deflating plastic pillow. With a groan, she Pushes the airbag down and looks through the busted windshield at the bent but not broken gate. Sighing she throws the car in reverse and hears a clicking sound, metal on metal grinding. The car wont budge. Placing her head back on the wheel, Please, Dammit, Please. Something moans and her head snaps up, her eyes wild. Something growls, Oh Jesus.
Tina and Azimio
Standing side by side, they look through the fence slats.
Azimio whispers, "I don't see any, do you?"
Tina whispers, "No." then looks up at the house. "Maybe we should check their garage?"
Azimio, "No telling whats in there and even if we found a car, what about keys? Then we have to go search inside, Hell No, there would be shit jumpin out at us." Glaring at Tina, "Ain't you ever seen a scary movie?... Lets just look for one with the keys in it."
Tina just nods, she looks through the fence once more and begins climbing.
Becky
Cold and hungry she walks among the weeds and trash. Her bag becoming heavy, she sneaks closer to the road. The cars with their doors hanging open, dome lights on, cast a faint glow on the highway. Getting on her hands and knees, she crawls up to the roadway. She dosen't see anymore sick people, so she stands. Maybe I can sleep in one of the cars. In front of her is a Chrysler minivan. Sliding open the side door, she climbs in out of the wind. Quietly, shutting the door, she Lays down in the back seat. Her eyes are tired, but they wont close. Her mom always told her monsters weren't real, but Becky is pretty sure those sick people are monsters, because monsters eat people. Turning her face to the seat, she tries to keep her teeth from chattering. Shuffle, Shuffle, Her body tense, she climbs down into the floor board. Her eyes barely peeking over the seat. Something walks by the van and stops, and looks in. The monsters are here.
Tina and Azimio
Walking pressed up against the house, Tina keeps her hatchet raised, while Azimio watches behind them. Coming to the corner, they use a line of shrubs for cover. Crouching down they scan their surroundings. The cat eating Zombie has moved on, but there are at least ten more, they can see.
Azimio counting the zombies, hangs his head, "Damn, what if we double back, maybe they cleared your house,.. we can grab your car?"
Tina voice flat,"No... I can't go back there."
Azimio his voice soft, "Okay,...My place is still probably full." He spots a 80's style ford escort with a Domino's sign on top, a few feet away the remains of the pizza guy, and two untouched boxes of pizza. Tapping Tina's arm, he points, "Hey, pizza dude turned dinner, his keys should be there. You can grab em, and I'll cover you."
Tina swallows thickly, her stomach churning at the task ahead, "Okay, on the count of three. One, Two, Three." Then their off, legs pumping fast, and before Tina can process what she's doing, she's digging through the pizza boys pockets, her hands now covered in blood.
Azimio yelling, "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Their coming."
Tina triumphant, "I found them, I found them." getting to her feet, three zombies almost on them, she turns to run and the delivery boy grabs her leg. She Screams.
McKinley
Dave, "I can take first shift, my shoulder wont let me sleep anyway."
Leroy nods, "Well there's enough of us, that we can have four people stand guard and take two hour shifts until dawn. Two at the main entrance, and two watching the back of the school."
Surprising Dave, Kurt walks over to stand by him, "I'll watch the front doors with Dave." Everyone with exception of Rachel and Leroy, stares at the two boys. No one openly questions the silent truce between them, but they wonder, even with the waking nightmare their all experiencing, there's something else. A deeper connection, more than a history of bullying and Hate. Kurt notices the stares, and chooses to ignore them. There's questions I need answered, Glancing at Santana's blood stained clothes, I better get them while I still can.
Burt eyes his son, "Me and Finn can watch the back doors."
Leroy, "Let's make a list for the other shifts, we can leave it on the piano, so the last shift knows who to wake."
The list made, everyone spreads out and tries to get comfortable.
Burt hands Kurt, his shotgun and gives him a hug, "You scream, I'll come running hear me kiddo?" He glares at Dave over Kurt''s shoulder, he trust his son but later he'll want answers.
Kurt, "You don't have to tell me twice."
Burt nods at the two boys, " Keep sharp, see ya in two."
Dave leans against the wall, his face turned out, facing the parking lot. I should be home in my bed, dreaming of, He peeks at Kurt, Okay never mind that part. But I should be home, in a few hours it would have been dads birthday. Mom was so excited about the surprise party, even though dad knew, he played it off like he didn't. His mind, body and soul nothing but a wall of pain.
Kurt mirrors his position, "If I ask you something, will you answer truthfully?"
Dave sighs, "Not that anything really matters anymore, but yeah."
Kurt, "Well you can't get mad, and I have a right to know." He's gonna get pissed
Dave, "Kurt, I'm tired just ask me already." Trust me Fancy, nothing you can ask will make this night more hellish than it already is.
Kurt looking at the floor, "Why did you kiss me?" Well that was smart, jump right in there, don't worry about the buildup.
Dave, I stand corrected.
Blaine
His volume is maxed, but he can still hear his dad. Taking the ear buds out he opens his eyes. Why is he running? The fear carved on his fathers face, sinks in, Oh Shit. Blaine gets out of the car.
His dad waves him on, "Run,... Blaine, Run." Mr Anderson goes down, tackled from behind, his head hitting an open car door, he's close enough the blood spray splatters across Blaine's face.
The copper in the air, causes a feeding frenzy. Blaine stands still, seconds feel like hours, while he watches, frozen. The things tearing his father apart are too engrossed in their treat to notice him, yet.
The one closest to him growls, Blaine looks down at it's black eyes seeing nothing but primal rage, a monster. That thought gets his feet moving, slowly he backs away, feet stumbling as he picks up speed. Turning away his adrenaline kicks in, maxing out his speed, his brain panicking, their behind me, oh god their catching up.
Tina and Azimio
Tina screams, kicking her leg out trying to dislodge the pizza boy, but his grip is strong. The others are almost to them, Azimio brings his gulf club down hard and the Pizza boy is done.
Tina still tugging frantically on her leg, " I can't get free."
Azimio, grabs her under the arms and pulls. He hears a snap and tear, She falls back against him and he drags her to the car, the arm still attached to her leg. Locking the doors, he starts up the outdated car and drives off.
Tina pulling the fingers apart gets free, rolling down her window she tosses the arm out.
Quin,
She hears scratching, Oh God, It's under the car. The three she saw at the gate are gone. Jesus, where are they? Checking the locks on the doors, she climbs into the back looking for something to defend herself with. The car begins to rock. Huddled down away from the windows, every manipulative and mean thing, she has ever done flashes through her head. Oh god, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for calling Rachel Stubble's and Man Hands, For cheating on Sam and Finn. For Beth, oh God Beth. Dear lord, if you let me live I promise to be a better person. Please Lord, I don't want to die this way. The car stops rocking, and every things quiet. Thank you Jesus. The back window is smashed, and for the second time, she is pulled kicking and screaming out a car. Falling to the road, she looks up, a scream caught in her throat. Black eyes stare back.
Becky
She feels warmth run down her leg, terror causing her bladder to release. Mom, coach, anybody, please don't let the monsters get me. She scoots down as far as she can, wishing her self invisible. The door begins to shake, I forgot to lock it.
The door slides back, and She sees someone stagger forward. Then the monster speaks.
"Hello, please help me, who's in there?"
Becky peeks above the seat at the boy. "Are you a monster?"
Boy his voice hoarse, "No, My names Blaine. May I come in there with you?"
