Chapter 3: 6 Day's Later...

"Here we are home sweet ho..?" Jack started to say merrily until he opened up his eyes. "What happened here daddy?" Leon asked in a quivering voice. "Did something bad happen?"

"Yeah, I guess something bad did happen son" Jack replied "What happened though I don't know". Him and Ann helped Leon off the wagon. "Karen take Leon inside and lock the door" Jack said with a sudden sense that danger was in the air.

"But wh..?" Started Karen in an ominous voice noticed the look on his face. "Right. C'mon Leon" She quickly picked up her son then ran into the house.

Jack grabbed his Magnum while a pair of eyes looked through the weeds. It howled then rushed with lightning fast speeds and stopped five feet in front of Jack. As soon as Jack heard the howl he raised his magnum then pointed it at the creature in front of him, ready to fire. He took one look at the creature then realized it was his mutt named "Mutt", but it wasn't Mutt anymore. It had no skin, it's eyes glowed a fiery red, it's fangs were super-huge as well were his hind legs. Overall it was pretty ugly.

With a quick snap of it's jaws it pounced upon Jack and he instinctively fired the weapon with a loud boom and blew away Mutt's head along with most of it's body. Not able to control his emotions Jack went inside his house to find something that was left for him from Lewis.

"Honey."

"Yeah Karen?"

"There's a note for you, from Lewis." Jack took the note and read what it said: The Hell do you think your doing Jack??? The Village is infected by this thing. I dunno there like zombies or something. I had to shoot Manna on the way over here, but now it's all over, huh, because you put that mutant crow in your fish pond...

"What in the hell is he talking about?" demanded Karen.

"I dunno what he's talking about!" replied Jack hysterically. "I believe it was when that dead crow landed in the fish pond."

"Oh and I'm just supposed to believe tha-"

"Daddy?"

"Yeah Leon" replied Jack while glaring back at Karen. "Who or what did you shoot?, please tell me it wasn't Mutt."

"Leon I'm sorry..." Jack began "He just came rushing at me, I didn't think." Leon just broke down crying.

"Can we bury him?" asked Leon all teary eyed.

"Yeah." said Jack "In the morning, ok?"

"Yeah ok."

6:30 am

We buried Mutt behind the house, but the nightmare isn't over. I kept hearing moans of those thing's. "Zombies". Thats what Jack calls them.

12:00 pm

We are running out of food to eat. I nominated my self to go to the grocery store...

"Why should you go?" replied Jack when I nominated myself.

"Because you can hide of Leon from those zombies while I'm gone." I could tell Jack was going over it in his mind while staring at me.

"Ok." he said giving in."But if you run into trouble come back immediately. I'll give you the .45 pistol and two extra clips to go along with it."
