I know i said i wasn't going back to this for a while, but I'm currently having a case of writer's block for Twelve Candles. Either I'll fix it or restart the story and give it a refreshing take. By next week I'll release my new story. I'll start making updates on my stories so that it doesn't seem like i've disappeared without a trace. Its hard working to live in a city like the big apple to keep up with the expensive rent and write at the same time. But no matter what i'll always find a way to work on my stories. Every chance i get i will continue. but nonetheless i present to you the next chapter of my post apocalyptic fic.
The Dead Awakening
Chapter 4
First Sign
2 hours before the first sign of infected...
Franklin Avenue
May 21st
5:03 PM
The sun was still high in the sky. Soon the rotation of the Earth will move away from its bright rays and begin the night cycle. Summer nights are long awaited. For Bobby Santiago and Lori Loud, "Date Night" was just the term. Most likely they'd return by the time it's dusk.
Roberto buckled his seat belt as did the blonde next to him. She wore a beautiful Cerulean dress skirt which she had recently got as a gift from Carol. Her birthday was coming up soon, Carol wanted to be the first girl to get her a present. The dress wasn't cheap. The thing practically cost nearly hundreds, but Carol shrugged it off. She eyed that dress to get for Lori. She reminded herself to get her something equally as great when her birthday rolls around.
"So how have you and the rest of the Loud family been? I hear your Dad came back from the hospital." asked Bobby.
She looked towards his direction and spoke."He's feeling better actually. For Once, Lisa's experimental drinks actually worked. He's able to walk again without any trouble. It's literally one of the most shocking things i've seen but yet again with what our family has been through it should come to no surprise actually."
"Hey, if your Dad's okay then that should be good right?"
"Yeah I suppose." she answered.
The next few minutes were quiet. Both were concerned over the recent news about that weird virus going on lately. Especially Bobby. As soon as his family came down to Royal Woods his mother got a call from their Uncle Carlos. It appears that someone in Great Lakes had it. The old man Vito, was attacked by some maniac just around the corner from the Casagrande Market. Both Emergency services and the CDC got involved. Not much after, the National Guard set up a quarantine zone by the local high school. The Casagrandes and the Chang's were safe inside. Ronnie Anne heard from Sid and was relieved to hear that they're alright. She too however was deeply affected.
Whatever this thing was, it's starting to feel like a bad dream. His expression was clear to Lori that he was concerned.
"Boo Boo Bear you okay?" She asked affectionately.
His mind snapped back to the road. "Y-Yeah. I'm alright."
"You sure?" She asked. "If something's on your mind, you can tell me."
He assured her that he was okay. He didn't want the recent news to affect their date.
Maybe some music would help. Lori always liked that idea. He turned on the radio, but to his dismay the two were greeted with a scary warning.
"THE FOLLOWING IS A RECORDED MESSAGE. RESIDENTS IN THE DETROIT AREA ARE TO REPORT TO THE NEAREST QUARANTINE ZONE. MILITARY AND CDC OFFICIALS ARE PROVIDING SHELTER AND MEDICAL SERVICES TO EVERYONE WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE DISTRICTS. ANYONE WHO HAS COME IN CONTACT TO THOSE INFECTED ARE TO REPORT TO THE NEAREST CDC OUTPOST FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET NEAR, REASON OR COME IN CONTACT WITH ANYONE WHO SHOWS SIGNS OF INFECTION. THIS MESSAGE WILL REPEAT-"
He quickly shut off the radio. Leaving the two frightened with what they had just heard.
Detroit? No Way.
The city isn't too far from Royal Woods. Lori's heart started to pace. This is real. All of it is real.
Bobby placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump a bit. She looked towards him and looked into his comforting eyes.
"Everything will be okay. I'm sure of it. Let's not keep this around our heads. Let's enjoy our night together." he said.
She smiled at him. He was right. This was supposed to be a great time for the two. After all since he and his family moved to Great Lakes, this was a rarity.
Upon arrival he parked the car over by the parking lot. Surprisingly it wasn't as packed as he expected it to be. About maybe a few Sedans and SUV vehicles were found. Nothing too fancy other than the restaurant itself.
Inside the lobby, it was decorated with a stylish Victorian theme. To the left there was a fireplace with two fancy looking chairs that looked so clean you'd notice a speck of dirt should there ever be one. A red and gold carpet to fit the scenery. Ahead of them was the entrance to the restaurant where all of the tables sat. The two walked over to the women by a podium. She was reading off the book that had every reservation available. From her peripheral vision she saw the two. "Hi How are you? Do you two have a reservation?" She asked.
"Reservation for two, under the name Santiago and Loud." said the Latino.
She scanned the book and found the name. "Ah yes, Santiago and Loud for 5:30 PM. Table for two." She stepped off the podium.
"Right this way please."
She led the two through the restaurant. The entire place was beautiful. Marble columns, a big fountain in the middle and polished tables. A large Chandelier hung from the ceiling that looked as if it were made of gold. If the lobby didn't impress, this would do the trick. She walked over to a table with two seats with a candle in the middle. Two menus were placed where they would be seated.
"The waiter or waitress will be with you shortly." said the woman. Her name tag read Belle.
"Thank you...uh Belle." Said Bobby as he read her name tag.
Belle left the two by the table where they scanned through the menu.
"So i was thinking of trying out this dish. Prepped Lobster with shrimp on the side. By the look of it...It looks good." said Bobby, his mouth practically watering.
Lori chuckled at the sight of her boyfriend acting that way. She found it cute in a way. But she agreed. It did look good. While she never had Lobster before, she figured she'd try it out. Maybe she might like it.
"Hey Bobby?" asked Lori.
He lowered the menu. "Hm?"
"What do you think is going to happen now? With everything going on?" She asked. It was probably going to be an uncomfortable question but she wanted to know his opinion on the matter. The Santiago boy looked at the menu and then back at Lori.
"Honestly babe...I don't know. I thought that...maybe this was just some weird scare. You know, whenever some big disease comes by there's always some sort of mass hysteria involved. Remember Zika? I remember everyone losing their shit over it. Schools told us to watch out for those damned mosquitoes and everything. Next thing you know it all dies down. But this is different. I mean you heard that message."
The message that frightened the two lovers. If Detroit fell victim who was to say Royal Woods wasn't next? New York, Pennsylvania and maybe Washington. Major cities were losing to this virus. It was scary to even think about one of her siblings or her parents getting sick. What would happen to them?
And what did they mean by do not attempt to reason with the infected?
Before their conversation would continue any farther, the waiter came by. The fair skinned man with slick black hair came by with what looked like a notepad.
"Good Evening, I'm Pierre and I'll be your waiter for tonight. May i please have your choice of dish?" He asked. He had a very sophisticated behavior. Someone who looks like they don't know what it's like to go to a party or even get hammered on a Friday night. He had a faint scratch by his wrist. What Lori noticed was that he looked a bit pale.
The two prepped their order, both getting the same thing. Lori requested for a Coke while Bobby asked for a Dr. Pepper. Pierre took down every order and proceeded to the kitchen.
Bobby looked over to the side. He turned his head to the beautiful blonde sitting beside him.
"When me, Ronnie and our mother came here. We got a call from our family back at the apartment. It turns out that they got hit with this thing too. They were told to go to the high school nearby. It's supposed to be a quarantine zone i believe. Our neighbor Vito got attacked. Abuelo and my Uncle Carlos saw what happened. They..didn't want to get into detail about it. But that's when the CDC came by. Now everyone in the building is at the high school."
Lori listened to everything he said. From the National Guard to the CDC, it all just seemed so wrong. How did one attack on an old man cause all of this? Why did the military get involved over this disease? "They'll be okay Bobby. With whatever is going on, i'm sure our government knows what they're doing." she said.
He still had a concerned emotion. "I hope so." He still couldn't deal with the fact that Vito had his neck torn open by the attacker.
Moments afterwards the two had received their food and began to eat as well as talk about other topics. Bobby mentioned that his grandfather might actually give him the bodega. His grandfather Hector had thought about retiring early. His cousin Carlos Jr. was envious of the Santiago boy. Even though the boy was still young, he acted as if he had complete superiority over Bobby.
Lori was proud of Bobby, he had talked about how much he liked it over there. She missed him dearly, but once she finishes these last few days of school, she'll be moving with Bobby in Great Lakes. She just hopes that whatever this disease is, will soon be forgotten like the rest.
She mentioned to her boyfriend that her parents are taking it heavy with her moving away from the Loud House. Despite being annoyed by her loud and sometimes obnoxious siblings, she got used to it. To a point where if it is super quiet at home she'd worry. He understood where she's coming from. Since he moved in with his extended family, there has been nothing but loudness at times. Either grandma Rosa is cleaning or cooking, Carlotta is on the phone with her friends, or sometimes his aunt Frida is getting emotional. It's definitely a lot more noisier than his home in Royal Woods.
"Hey have you managed to check one of the apartments in the city?" asked Lori.
"Actually i have." he took out his phone and went through some pictures. "Take a look at this, it might be a one bedroom apartment but the living space is huge!" The apartment he was showing Lori had a lot of space. The living room area was spacey and the kitchen was decently big. He went on to show her the next one. "And this one has one of those kitchens where it connects with the living room."
She was impressed with the apartments. They weren't too expensive either. "Wow Boo Boo bear, i love them!"
He shoved his phone in his pocket. "My aunt Frida also mentioned that an apartment might even be available in our building. She says that-"
CRASH
A waiter walking across the restaurant collapsed to the floor, immediately catching the attention of the people nearby. Glass shattered and plates scattered. A man in a tux rushed towards the fallen man. He checked his pulse by his wrist. "Someone call 911!" he yelled. A few others began to call for an ambulance.
Lori and Bobby turned their heads. Upon seeing the man her heart began to race. It was Pierre. She felt scared for some reason. Her mind went back to that emergency recording from earlier.
Bobby took her hand, sensing her nervousness. "Hey don't worry. Maybe he had some sort of heart attack or he felt faint." She wanted to believe him but she wasn't so sure. She wanted to go home.
"Bobby, can we go? I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now. Please?" she said. Her voice tensed.
He looked at her and saw the scared look in her eyes. She was terribly frightened. He couldn't blame her.
"Okay" he said. He walked over to a waitress nearby. He asked to receive their check and paid upfront. He even left some tip for Pierre hoping he'd feel better. He walked over to Lori and gracefully walked her to the car. They didn't want to linger any longer.
Her music was probably her favorite thing to do to kill time. Whenever she was either bored or wanted to brighten up her mood, she'd plug in her headphones and play her tunes. Her bad habit was singing out loud. Lisa knew this all too well.
Her music stopped and was interrupted by her ringtone. The caller ID had a picture of Sam Sharp.
"Yo Sam what's up?" said Luna
"Hey Lunes, bad news. Our gig got canned. The owner had to shut down the whole thing because of this thing going on all over TV. He said that when this thing blows over he'll set it up once again. He guaranteed that our gig will still go on."
"Bogus dude! This disease shit has ruined everything. Now it fucked us over with our gig? Bullshit." she said aggravated. Sam knew Luna was going to be very upset. She was excited for this gig. "Did you tell everyone else?"
"Yeah, they're bummed about it too."
Damn. They spent a great amount of time at band practice making sure they had it all from the top. Now it all felt like a waste. But nonetheless there was nothing else they could do.
"Hey, we can always get something else. George and I always got someone to help us with that. Whatever happens I'll let you know."
Luna nodded. "Yeah, got it. Thanks Sam."
The call ended from there. Yeah it did suck that they lost their chance to perform but Sam was right. One way or another they always find something to pull through. They've done it many times before too.
It was already almost Seven. Dinner would be ready anytime now. She figured maybe listen to more music till then. Luan had come into the room as she thought of this. If Mom called for dinner, she would let her know.
The comedian sat on her bed. She pulled out her joke book and began to read. She barely made it past the first page. She kept thinking about Lori. What happens when it's Leni's turn? or Luna's? She couldn't imagine having to say goodbye to her roommate. She and Luna had been the closest. Saying goodbye to her would probably hurt the most.
She tried reading her book. Usually reading about comedy always improved her mood. It seems like it wouldn't work this time.
"Kids! Dinner!" cried their mother.
Luan got up and looked above the bunk bed. She tapped Luna's arm and mouthed 'Dinner' to which she nodded. Everyone else walked downstairs. Today they had spaghetti and meatballs. Lynn Sr. was feeling for it today. Not only was he craving it, but he felt maybe instead of the usual meatloaf he would make something better instead.
Everyone had a plate except for one seat. The spot where Lori would be sitting. Since she was on her date tonight her father knew it would be best to leave it at that. She would have had a full stomach by the time she came home.
Speaking of coming home, Lori walked right through the front door.
Lynn Sr. walked over to her. "Hey honey, you're just in time for dinner? I thought you would be out later?"
Lori had a concerned look on her face to which her father noticed. "Sweetie is something wrong?" he asked.
She looked up, she didn't want to talk too much about it. This whole nonsense was really getting to her. "No everything's fine."
Rather than push it he left it at that. Lori walked upstairs and into her room. She hadn't come down after that. The rest of the family continued their dinner. The parents tried starting conversations but it fell short. Once everyone was finished they all sat by the living room hoping that some television would make something interesting. Lynn Sr. and Rita did the dishes and joined their kids. They all watched a movie together.
Everyone at the restaurant were all in shock with the sudden collapse of the waiter. It was unexpected. A few had gathered around Pierre and went on to see if he was still alive. One man checked his pulse by his wrist and another checked his pulse by his neck. Both were faint.
One man had yelled for someone to call an ambulance, to which a few had did. The man took off his suit jacket and formed it into an improvised pillow to rest Pierre's head in.
Waiters and waitresses all stood by. The people everywhere watched. They all hoped for the best. The ambulance was on its way.
Dread had filled the restaurant. the music in the background wasn't helping anyone at all. Some folks were leaving as well. Everyone else stayed either to finish their food or to see if the man was okay. A few people were already upset. This isn't the type of sight one would want to see.
His eyes opened.
The man who had approached Pierre upon collapsing saw his eyes open. A pair of bloody red eyes stared into the ceiling above. He was alive!
"Excuse me sir, are you alright!?" frantically asked the man. Pierre didn't respond. Instead his body began to twitch. His stomach bulging out as if he were about to throw up. Pierre's mouth opened and blood flew all around the floor. Everyone was in shock. Some had screamed. A few others started to feel sick at the sight of blood coming out of a man's mouth. His head twitched and ragged breathing followed.
Pierre gurgled. More blood came out. It bubbled on the tile floor. The man beside him was speechless. Clearly this isn't normal.
"Where's the ambulance!?" he yelled.
Pierre sat upwards now. He looked around aimlessly. Then his sights turned towards the aiding man.
He turned towards Pierre. "Everything is going to be okay sir. Just hang tight, help is on the-"
Pierre let out a horrifying growl and lunged towards the man. He took a big bite against his throat and ripped it straight out. The man let out a piercing scream as his neck tore open. Blood splattering everywhere.
Everyone in the restaurant screamed in terror. People began to flee from the scene and away from the scene. Pierre continued to bite into the man. His white dress shirt soaked in his own blood. One man nearby tried pulling Pierre away from the man. Pierre's head turned towards him and splattered more flood from his mouth onto the man's face. He screamed in pain. The bile felt like it was burning his face away like acid.
Pierre's head twitched. His mouth covered in blood and his eyes as red blood itself. Not once had he spoken a word, but instead screeched as he lunged towards a woman nearby. The woman screamed as her face was being ripped right off.
The man that had bile over his face started twitching intensively. He was no longer screaming, but instead started breathing heavily before making growling noises. His hazel eyes turned red. He jumped up and threw up the same kind of blood Pierre did. The blood bubbled on the floor, his chin dripping with blood. He began to act the same way as Pierre. He growled and yelled before grabbing another nearby bystander, to which he then proceeded to bite off their neck.
In her room, Lori laid in bed with the thoughts of tonight's date.
She did enjoy her time with Bobby. It had been a few weeks since his last visit and that alone was too long for her. Every visit was no time wasted. Even if they went to Flip's it all would've went well. The thing is that their date tonight was off. First that broadcast set them off guard, then their waiter passed out.
He seemed fine when he first came around. His face did look paler than the rest of his body but it didn't look like he was anything but well. His voice was smooth and his eyes were okay. What happened to him?
Wanting to forget all about it she turned in for the night. Plugging in her phone charger and turning off the lights. She closed her eyes and hoped that tomorrow would be a better day.
Downstairs the family scrolled through different channels on the TV. After their movie ended it instantly switched over to news coverage of the same incidents all over the country. Aerial footage of New York City showcased the National Guard and the NYPD at every safe zone checkpoint where they were evacuating people away from Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and into Staten Island and Manhattan. Military Humvees drove over each bridge trying to set up defenses. The bridges themselves crowded with families carrying personal belongings. CDC outposts at almost every corner. It was like something out of a nightmare. New York was no longer safe.
Luan thought back to Dana and how she mentioned that she was going to move over there shortly after they graduated. She couldn't imagine how she felt knowing she had family over there.
Dad grabbed the remote and simply tried switching the channel. The younger kids (with the exception of Lisa) didn't need to see this, it would scare them. Every channel however had the same breaking news footage. It would switch over from New York to Philadelphia and Detroit.
"...Confirmed reports indicate that cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta have begun setting up checkpoints to contain those infected with the disease." They now showcased LA in the same state as New York. People crowding up and the military holding back. Families cried and riots broke out. SWAT members would go on to stop the riots as people had begun to cause mayhem in the streets. Looters broke into stores and cars were set on fire. Tear gas and smoke bombs went off, trying to disperse rioters from causing any more chaos.
Now it quickly switched over to the Royal Woods news anchor Katherine Mulligan where she stood in front of Mirabelle's as it was being guarded by military and CDC. Lynn Sr. noticed that it was the same restaurant that Lori had gone to with Bobby earlier.
"Katherine Mulligan here bringing you the breaking news tonight as patrons at this fancy facade witnessed an attack like no other. Reports of an act of cannibalism had sky rocketed as one man attacked another by eating his neck. Some say that another man began to follow the same actions after being exposed to blood on his face. People are now raising questions whether or not this mysterious plague had hit the town of Royal Woods. Until then-"
The screen went black. Then a rainbow colored screen appeared. A chilling beeping noise went off as the screen came on flashing "Emergency Broadcast" on the screen.

The Loud family was in shock. Lynn Sr. and Rita got up. They had to act fast now.
"Kids, go upstairs and pack one suitcase of clothes and things you need. Not Junk! Things you need. NOW!" Ordered their mother. The kids did not hesitate and went straight upstairs.
Rita's heart was pounding. This was happening. It's actually happening. "Lynn, what's going to happen? Is this thing ever going to die down?!"
He set both his hands on her shoulders, in an attempt to calm his wife down. "Rita honey listen, we have to do what we have to do now. We'll get what we need and go. Okay?" he said calmly. Truth is, he was scared too. But panicking wasn't going to help anyone now. The two went to their bedrooms to pack and retrieve the needed documents.
Upstairs everyone rushed. They packed clothes and other necessities. Lincoln packed his shirts, pants, undergarments and a few comics into his dufflebag. He left his gaming devices and laptop behind, knowing Mom would have a fit if he brought those along. Luna and Luan packed pretty much the same thing. Luan got her books and stuffed them in her bag. Luna got her music player and a small harmonica that she kept for any needs incase of boredom. The twins all packed clothes and some toys. Lana and Lola each had a stuffed animal with them to keep them from being too scared. Lynn got a few baseballs and sports magazines. Lucy got her entire Edgar Allen Poe collection that was all in one book. Her notebooks filed with Poems came along too. Lisa got a few science books and kept a few lab necessities. If given the chance she should take a look at this whole disease. Maybe she can find something within it. She packed Lily's clothes and a lot of diapers.
Rita and Lynn each got their sets ready too. Rita opened the very bottom drawer where they each kept their important documents sealed. She grabbed each of her children's medical records as well as their own.
"We'll head to the High School. it's closer." said her husband.
Leni rushed into her shared bedroom and went on to wake Lori up.
"Lori! Lori! Wake up!" she said.
Her older sister stirred in her sleep. She didn't appreciate being woken up. She rubbed her eyes. "What is it Leni? Can't it wait until morning?" she said dazedly .
Leni panicked "Lori we can't! The TV said so!"
"Wait what?" Lori was fully awake now. What did she mean the TV said so?
"Like the TV said we have to go to some other place. Mom and Dad told all of us to pack clothes and get ready to go. Lori c'mon! We have to go now!" Leni said as she pulled her covers away.
Lori jumped up. Her heart raced as she looked into the hall and saw her siblings leaving their rooms with luggage at hand. She ran back into the room and grabbed her suitcase from her closet. She joined Leni in packing clothes. Rather than wonder what clothes to bring, she simply tossed any top, bottom and underwear into her bag. Leni knew better than to play fashionista. She followed Lori and did the same thing.
Grabbing their phones and chargers, they grabbed their bags and went downstairs to join the rest of the family. No one had turned off the TV. When Lori reached the living room she looked onto the screen which sent chills up her spine.
She knew it.
Whatever this thing was had now come to Royal Woods. This was all too terrifying. She took out her phone and called Bobby. After a few rings he picked up.
"Lori! Did you see the TV?" He asked frantically. His mother can be heard in the background. She prayed hoping that everything would all be okay.
"I did now. Everyone is getting ready to leave. Mom and Dad said we're going to the high school." she said.
"We're doing the same too."
"Bobby... it's happening. Just like Detroit. Just like New York..."
He was quiet on his end for a few seconds. She was right of course. This is exactly what had happened in the big major cities out there. It all started with an emergency broadcast.
"I know babe but for now let's do what we should do. My mother is scared. And so is my sister."
"We're all scared too. This is the scariest thing we've had to go through."
Lincoln used his radio and called Clyde. The African American was already with his Dad's on the way to the high school.
"Lincoln, i think this is probably the scariest thing we've gone through. Do you think this will all be over soon?"
"I hope so buddy. I'll see you there. Stay Safe buddy." he said before ending the radio call.
The parents came out of their bedrooms with luggage in their hands. Her father got the van keys ready. Now that it was repaired they were able to use Vanzilla again.
"Kids let's go." their father said.
"Hey Boo boo bear, i have to go. I'll see you soon. Stay safe please. I love you." she said.
"And i love you. I'll find you when i get there."
Everyone hopped into the van. Lynn inserted the Van keys. He looked up and saw their neighbor Mr. Grouse getting into his car.
"Hey Mr. Grouse, are you heading to the high school?" Lynn Sr. asked.
"Screw that Loud! I'm getting the hell out of here! It's not safe here anymore. You should do the same!" Throwing his suitcases in the trunk, he rounded to the car and hopped inside. He started his car and drove the opposite way, leaving the field of vision.
Lynn shook his head. It was unsafe already. Going to the quarantine was safer than staying out here. He drove out of the drive way and made his way to the high school.
With things escalating this far, it was only a matter of time before things got worse. Many cities have already fallen into chaos. Royal Woods might just meet the same fate.
A/N: It has begun folks. The beginning of the end! The virus has now come to Royal Woods! Will our beloved characters find safety within the quarantine zone? What will happen to everyone? So many things happening at once.
I wrote this as a little filler. I wanted to start the outbreak and i figured this was the best way to do so. I didn't want to drag the beginning for too long. This is a Zombie Post apocalyptic fic. Something has to happen. Nonetheless we have reached that stage.
I'm still in a writer's block for Twelve Candles. Either I'll update it soon when i can or i might just start it all over. The latter might be the best choice in my opinion. Anyways i hope you enjoyed the first thriller chapter in this story. Now if you excuse me i better treat this bite mark i got from some random stranger outside. I hope nothing BAD happens. I;m just kidding, i got bit by my dog. But still...
Enjoy this filler chapter everyone. FrostbiteFear Out.
