Chapter 2- Exodus
Please Read and Review! =P
"MUM!" Tessa screamed, when she saw her mother lying on the living room floor.
Tessa ran to her mother, who was shaking hysterically. She was trying to tell Tessa something, but her trembling lips made it not quite so easy to understand. A tear streamed down Tessa's cheek, but she wiped it away trying her best to keep from crying.
"Mu-Mum… What ha-happened?!" Tessa asked whilst reaching for her mother's hand.
She shivered as she touched her hand, for it was cold.
"Mum? Answer me!" Tessa exclaimed. "I said answer me!"
But her mother did not- or could not- answer. Her eyes were already closed in a deep sleep, and her hand was completely lifeless in Tessa's. Tessa let go of her mother's hand and turned body towards Tessa. She jumped back in shock at the state of her mother. There were scratches all over her body from head to toe, but no part as severe as her neck. Her neck had been gnawed on, and part of her flesh was missing, leaving the sight of bone and veins. Tessa stared at her mother with wide open eyes, a million thoughts racing through her head. But they were all interrupted when she heard the sound of footsteps on broken glass.
"Dad? Is that you?" Tessa whispered turning behind to look.
At that moment, her dad walked out of the kitchen and stumbled towards Tessa. From the side of his mouth dripped blood, and his eyes were bright blue. Tessa stood up and tripped over her mother, crawling away as fast as she could. When she reached the door to leave her house, she pulled it open and closed it behind her just in time. Her dad reached for Tessa from inside the house, his eyes stared at Tessa, his hands tried to grasp her. Tessa could not believe what had just happened. Her parents had become… zombies.
(But that's just silly… there are no such thing as zombies!)
Tessa suddenly came to realize that her father was breaking down the gate. She turned around and ran from her house, in which she was glad she'd never have to return to. But her mind was changed about her house almost immediately when she saw Raccoon City, and the dead that walked. From the corner of her eyes, she spotted a group of zombies heading towards her.
Tessa frantically looked around for another way to escape from the dead that walked the streets. But it was hopeless. The streets were all blocked off. And there was no way she was going back to her house.
Tessa looked ahead at the sight of the city. It was one she had once seen in a movie.
(It was one of those damn horror movies. But this is real life… not a movie, unfortunately…)
Raccoon City, as Tessa had remembered, was not the same city she had seen through her window before she went to bed. No, it was far from the same. The city was filled with the smell of charcoaled flesh, burning wood- the kind of smell you would find in a campsite, only far worse. The sight of the city was horrendous. There were cars slightly overturned, with broken windows… some of which were even on fire. The screams and moans of the city sent shivers down Tessa's spine. For a girl of sixteen, she was lucky to still be alive in the state of the city.
Tessa tightened her loose pony tail, and ran all the way down the steep hill. Little did she know that ahead lay a zombie hidden underneath a car. Tessa walked down the hill, her eyes looking from left to right, her heart pounding in her chest. Without warning the well hidden zombie grabbed onto Tessa's left leg startling her, pulling itself closer to the young girl. Tessa screamed in fear as she started trying to break free of the tight grasp. The zombie moaned, its eyes gleaming. Tessa raised her right leg, and gave the zombie a hard kick in the ribs. The zombie did not let go of Lorraine's leg, so she kicked at the head, and it flew. Tessa sighed in relief when she saw the head of the zombie rolling the rest of the way down the hill. At least that zombie wouldn't be a nuisance to her anymore.
(I hope this is just another one of those terrible nightmares I've been having. And that this is one of those long ones. And so Mum really won't be dead, and Dad will still be amongst the living… this is all so awful!)
Tessa sobbed for a while more at the realization of the fate of her parents. It was horrible. Tessa continued running down the hill, away from the horde of zombies that trailed not far behind.
(I have to make it to a safe place. Perhaps the café, the hospital or maybe even the police station! If I get there alive, that is.)
Tessa felt like kicking herself.
"Of course I'll get there!" Tessa whispered to herself. "I have to…"
Suddenly Tessa heard gun shots, and she ran her way to the end of the long steep hill. She caught sight of a man in an army suit, running across the road to one of the buildings turning back once in a while to shoot at the zombies following him. He pulled open the door, and went in. Tessa shouted to the man, but he couldn't hear. She ran after him, dodging the zombies nearby, and went in after the man. She didn't care who he was, but she knew he could help her.
Well, that's all for chapter 2. If you guys want me to continue I would appreciate a review or two if you don't mind. Thanks for reading!
