Prologue:
*Rainbow Dash's POV*
*I'm talking to my older sister Scootaloo on the phone as I get home from work*
"Scootaloo I - Scootaloo, he is the contractor. I understand… We'll talk about this in the morning, okay?"
*I notice my younger sister, Sarah asleep on the couch*
"Scoot", I say as I sit on the couch.
"Fun day at work, huh?" She smiles at me.
"What're you still doing up?"
"Oh shit, what time is it?"
*Sarah turns around at the clock, reading 11:45* "It's way past your bedtime-"
"But it's still today!"
"Sarah, please don't do this right now I do not have the energy."
*Sarah grabs out and hands me a guitar case from beside the couch. I open it to find a brand new electric guitar*
You kept complaining about your broken guitar. You like it?" She smiles.
"This is awesome but I-"
"What?!" Her facial expression changed to a worried look.
"I think it's broken. It's not-"
"What! No no no-" *Sarah grabs the guitar and strums it to find it wasn't broken at all. It was all a prank by Rainbow*
"Oh, ha ha!" She says as she lays back down on the couch.
"Where'd you feet the money for this?"
"Drugs. I sell hardcore drugs." She says sarcastically.
"Oh good, you can start helping out with the mortgage then." I say as I grab the remote for the TV.
"Stsh, you wish."
*A couple of hours pass by and I notice Sarah dead asleep. I pick her up and take her to her room. I lay her down on her bed and say goodnight to her*
"Goodnight, baby girl"
*Sarah's POV*
*I wake up abruptly to the sound of my phone ringing.*
"Hello?"
"Sarah sweetie, I have to get your sister on the phone".
*Scootaloo, what time is it?"
"That doesn't matter, I need you to get your sister on the phone. The some-"
*The line disconnects*
"Scootaloo?"
*I get out of my bed, rubbing my eyes*
"What was that all about?"
*I walk out of my room and I notice Rainbow's room is lit up*
"Rainbow, you in here?" I say as I open her bedroom door.
*I looked around her room to only find her TV on with a news channel*
"It appears that what we initially reported as riots seem to be somehow connected to the nationwide pandemic."
"That's nearby."
"There seems to be more commotion coming from be-"
*The news feed stopped, and I heard a big explosion. I look through the window to see the city lit up in flames*
"Rainbow?" I walk away from the window.
*I headed downstairs and still don't see her. I notice her phone with texts from Scootaloo.*
'Where the HELL are you? Call me!'
*I put down her phone and head to her office. Rainbow dashes into the house, terrified*
"There you are! What's going on?"
It's the Cooper's, I think they're sick!"
"What kinda sick?"
"Has anyone come to the house?"
"No, who would come to the house?"
"Just don't go near the door."
*I notice she has a gun in her hand, prepared to do something with it* Just as I noticed, I saw a figure bang against the door*
"What was that?" I squealed.
"Oh God."
*The figure that I saw before slammed through the glass door, and was coming towards Rainbow*
"I am warning you! Don't!"
*From the corner of my eye I saw Rainbow shoot a man in the face. She grabs my shoulders.*
"You- you shot him" My voice was trembling with fear.
"Sarah listen, there's something bad going on. We need to get out of here do you understand?"
Shaking, I nodded, "Mmhmm"
*There was a light flashing from the curtains of the living room.*
"Scootaloo, let's go."
*Rainbow grabs my hand and rushed out the door to find Scootaloo with his truck*
"Where the hell have you been? Do you even realize what's going on out there!?"
"I got some notion. Come on Sarah, get in."
Holy shit! You've got blood all over you."
"It ain't mine. Let's just get out of here."
*We all get into Scootaloo's truck and back out the driveway*
*Scootaloo turns to me*
"Hey Sarah, how you holding up honey?"
"I'm fine. Can we hear what's on the radio?"
"Yeah, sure thing."
*Scootaloo tries to turn on the radio but none of the stations are working*
"No cellphone, no radio. Yeah, we're doing great." Rainbow exclaimed.
"Minute ago, the news reporter wouldn't shut up."
"They say where to go?"
"They put roadblocks around the area. No way to get into Travis county. I'll take 71."
*As we are driving up to get on the highway, there are a bunch of cars trying to leave*
"I guess everyone and their mother had the same damn idea."
*The guy in the car in front of us gets out and starts yelling at the other drivers*
"Hey what the fuck man! Let's go-"
*A man similar like the other guy back at the house starts charging at the man and kills him. We all sit there in shock*
"Scootaloo, back up!" Rainbow shakes Scootaloo by the arm.
*As we're backing up, the man runs towards the left side door. Once we got away, there were tons of people running away towards us, I could tell Scootaloo was getting annoyed.*
"Don't stop now!" Rainbow complained.
"I can't fucking drive through them Rainbow!" Scootaloo yelled.
"Well back up then!"
"They're behind me too!"
*An opening appeared as not many people were running*
"Go now."
"Okay."
*We drive through the opening and keep going straight.*
"Look out!" I screamed.
*A car from the side of the road came charging towards our car. It hit. And everything went black…*
*Rainbow Dash's POV*
"Rainbow, wake up! Wake up!"
*I heard Sarah's voice faintly as I woke up*
"I'm alright sweetie."
*I kick open the window of the overhead window of the car and an infected was pushing up against me. Scootaloo came in and hit the infected in the face with a brick.*
"Rainbow, my leg hurts."
"How bad?"
"Pretty bad."
"Okay I'm going to carry you alright-"
"We need to run now" Scootaloo shouted.
"You keep us safe." I say as I hand her my pistol.
*I carry Sarah in my arms bridal style and start to run*
"Just keep your eyes on me, Sarah"
"Okay"
*We run past the crowds of people and fire but once we reached a checkpoint, the building blew up and caught into flames*
"Those- those people are on fire."
"Just look at me sweetie."
"Rainbow, through the alley!" Scootaloo yelled.
*We run through the alley and an infected started to attack us. Scootaloo pushed the infected onto the ground and shot him in the face twice*
"Goddamn infected!"
*We keep running and come across a bar. We run to the back door as infected were chasing us. Scootaloo was holding the door with arms of infected trying to get through*
"Keep going, Rainbow!"
"We can't leave you here!"
"Just go, you got Sarah! I can hold them off!"
"Scootaloo?!" Sarah cried out.
*I ran out the front entrance and headed towards the highway*
"Rainbow, we can't leave him!" Sarah cried.
"It's okay sweetie, he'll meet us there." I reassured her.
*As we were running to the outer perimeter, we were being chased by more infected but they were shot. We saw a soldier out in the distance*
"Stop!" The man shouted.
"It's my daughter I think her leg is broken. We just need-"
"Stop right there!" The man shouted, pointing his gun at us.
"Listen, we're not… we're not sick!"
"I got a couple of civilians outside the perimeter." He was talking to his radio. "But sir, there's a kid".
"Rainbow, what about Scootaloo?" Sarah asks shakily.
"He'll meet us there."
"Yes, sir". The man sighed as he was aiming at us.
"Buddy, we've just been through hell. We just need- Oh shit!"
*The man shoots at us and I fall to the ground, whimpering. The soldier comes to me and points the gun at my head, ready to finish me off.*
"Please don't." I cried out.
*The man got shot in the head by Scootaloo before he shot me.*
"Oh no…" Scootaloo said in disbelief.
*I turned around to see Sarah lying on the ground whimpering with a bullet wound in her stomach. I run towards her and apply all the pressure I can to her wound.*
"I know sweetie, it hurts."
*Sarah lets out a squeal*
"I know sweetie, I know."
*Sarah screams out in pain*
"Please stay with me! Please don't go-"
*Sarah went quiet, and it was too late. She had bled out too much.*
"Sarah! Sweetie!" I turned around to Scootaloo, who was on the ground bawling. "Please don't do this to me. Please don't do this to me sweetie."
*I hold Sarah's body against mine as I cry out the pain.*
"Oh, God. No… no ..."
