Zach and Victoria stood outside the second flat, looking around with big knives in their hands, nothing stirred. Zach saw a glint of a furry black figure leap around the lawn and a person – not dead – not undead was chasing after it.
"Blackie – come here – now"
It was a girl, around twenty; she had just come from flat four on the same block as them.
"Hey Sarah" Zach said cheerfully
"Oh hey" she replied
She walked over to them, she managed to grab the cat and was patting it, trying to calm it down.
"Are you okay?" he asked
"Yeah – we're fine – have you heard the news?" she asked
"What news?" Victoria asked
Sarah looked at Victoria, then back to Zach.
"Who's this?" she asked
"Oh yeah, Victoria – this is my sister Sarah, Sarah this is Victoria, she lives, well lived over there" he pointed towards Victoria's flat
"Oh yeah, I've seen you around" Sarah said smiling, "So what are you up to?"
"Well, we're going to get some ammunition and guns" Zach said
"Where from?" she asked
"Victoria's place – her dads a gun fan I heard" Zach answered
"So – Sarah – where do you think all the things are?" Victoria asked
Blackie squirmed around in Sarah's arms.
"Don't know – I haven't seen any – They all took off and hid, don't think they like the light" Sarah replied
"Vampire – Zombies" Zach laughed
"Well its good for us, we won't need to get passed any" Victoria said sternly
"I think – some might be still inside, especially if the drapes are closed" Sarah pointed out
"Thanks – for the tip, we've got to get a move on, we'll let you know when we're going to go to the Rescue stations"
"Yep, We're backing our bags at the moment – Zach – do you know what's actually going on? – Why weren't we infected as well?" Sarah asked
"Don't know" he replied "Well – got to hurry, see you later, be careful"
"You too" Sarah said as she took her cat back into her house
"Let's go!" said Victoria
"Okay"
They started walking towards Victoria's flat, looking around them for signs of Zombies.
"Aargh" came a moan from up ahead, they saw a Zombie, who had crawled out from a Dog Kennel apparently to feed fall down on the ground and started burning, its skin started blistering, bubbling and bursting. It melted down until it was just clothes on the ground.
"Allergic to sunlight, That helps us a lot, but – for some reason I didn't think that was the terrorists plan when they sent this over here" Zach said
"Must have been the reaction that the formula had with the thing they mixed it with, I don't think they would have spread it through the country by air, too much land to cover, what I think happened was that they injected it into something – chicken perhaps?" Victoria suggested
"Maybe"
They heading in the doorway of flat four of the Verona block. Light had come through the kitchen; about nine sets of clothes lay on the ground, bloody covered nearly every inch of them.
"Upstairs" she said
Zach went first; Victoria took the rear, looking out for any backstabbers – or backbiters.
"Which room, the one by the bathroom or the one closest to the top of the stairs?"
"One next to the bathroom"
"Does you dad leave his drapes open at night?"
"Sometimes"
They got to the top of the stairs, Victoria's door to her room was still closed, they walked past it, as they got to her dad's room they stopped dead, looking at a still bleeding corpse on the ground. Her Dad dead on the ground with many bite marks out of him.
"Don't look"
It was too late, see saw him and screamed. Zach dropped his knife, put his arms around Victoria and hugged her. She responded instantly, she dropped her knife and put her arms around him too, tears ran down her face.
