Everyone stood in the back of the room, watching the doors. The zombies banging against the doors, making them shake. Nikki looked at the lock on the door, unlocked. She started to run towards the doors, when Zach grabbed her arm, "What are you doing?"
Nikki ripped her arm away from his grip, "Locking the doors."
Zach stood there, "what if…"
"Something bad happens? We'll just see now won't we?" Nikki turned and ran to the door. She crawled on top of the soda machines, holding the doors, hoping for heavens sake, the zombies would not burst open the doors. She reached for the lock; it's too high for her reach. She started to stand, the soda machines started to wobble, Zach cried out. Nikki looked back, everyone was looking at her, one woman was preying. A child clutched her doll. She felt a nudge from the door, the zombies knew she was there. She grabbed the lock and pulled it to the other side of the door, she struggled, but she pulled with all her might. She finally got the doors locked. She felt another nudge on the door and it flung her backwards. She fell on her back, Zach ran forward and picked her up.
"Are you okay?" Zach asked resting his hand on her shoulder.
"I guess I am… I'm so scared." Nikki said, rubbing the back of her head.
Suddenly there was a crashing sound, like glass breaking. Everyone turned to the windows, they were getting in. Nick turned and saw the back room, "Everyone to the back room! NOW!" Everyone scampered to the door. Nick looked back, and the zombies were limping towards them. Nick grabbed the key from the janitor man, he was too scared to put it in the hole, he fumbled with the key. It fell to the floor. He looked back at the zombies, they were getting closer. Jake picked the key up and put it in the lock, he turned it. The door opened and everyone scrambled inside. John closed the door and locked it. He turned, "I think we're safe in here." He turned the light on and there were 5 zombies in the corner of the room staring at them.
"Something tells me we're not safe here." Zach said pushing nikki his mother and sister behind him.
Nick shot 2 zombies in the head, perfect. He shot again, missed. The zombies charged forward. One of them had no jaw; another was missing an eye and a nose. The children screamed. Nick fired again at the creature coming forward to him, he shot its shoulder. That slowed it down. He fired again, got it in the forehead. He let out a sigh.
Suddenly, he heard a scream of terror. He turned around and one of those zombies was attacking one of the sick old ladies. Nick shot, and he got it in the head. The woman fell to the floor in tears, "You have to shoot me too!"
Nick was puzzled, "what are you talking about?"
"It bit me." The woman said. Nick didn't understand. Why did he have to shoot her? The woman continued, "If someone is bit, then they become one of those things."
Nick put the gun to the woman's head, he started to cry, and whispered "I'm so sorry ma'am." The woman took a deep breath and held it in. Nick struggled to pull the trigger. Abigail screamed, "Nick! There are 2 more of those things in this room! KILL IT FIRST!"
Nick, being startled, pulled the trigger of the gun, shooting the woman, killing her. Everyone cried out. Nick looked over at Abigail who was in tears from fright. Then he looked over at Nikki and his mother, huddled with Abigail and the rest of the children. He then looked over at Zach, who was aiming his rifle at one of the zombies, Zach said, "Die you son of a bitch." He pulled the trigger and shot it in the shoulder. "Shit!" he screamed. He cocked the gun, aimed at it again, this time more at the zombies head. He pulled the trigger and killed it.
Nikki stared at the last zombie in the room, it was limping towards her. She listened to the pounding on the door, Nick and Zach aimed their guns at the zombie. Nikki put her hand to her cheek, to wipe away the sweat. The zombie was getting closer, the pounding on the door was getting louder. Her started rubbing her temples. My head, make it stop, make the pounding stop! Nikki looked at Nick, sweat dripping down his face, his gun aimed at the monster, she looked at Zach, his body trembling, his gun shaking violently. She closed her eyes, and she heard a gunshot, along with many grunts and moans. She opened her eyes back up and the zombie was closer to her. She closed her eyes again, and she heard a thump. She opened her eyes, and the zombie was lying face down on the floor.
Nikki felt light, like her whole body could float to the ceiling. Her head was beginning to spin, lots of small dots her blocking her vision. "Guys… I don't feel so good." She closed her eyes; she started to hear her heart beat. She opened them back up and Zach was sitting next to her. She closed her eyes again, and she tried to open them again, but her eye lids were too heavy, she couldn't feel her body. She couldn't move.
Suddenly, she felt alright again. She opened her eyes to a bright room. There were men and women dressed in white robes. She tried to speak, but her throat closed on her. She tried to speak again, all that came out was a groan.
A woman came up to her and put her hand on her cheek, "It'll be okay, Nicole. It's over."
Nikki lifted her hand to her face, "What's over?"
The woman smiled, "The zombies are gone. Your family is in other rooms being checked on. You were lucky you were found. With all those zombies, we were sure you guys wouldn't survive."
Nikki sat up, but she was a little dizzy, "You mean, you knew we were there?"
"Yes." She started to walk away. Nikki grabbed her wrist, "You knew we were there, and you didn't get us earlier!"
"I'm sorry, Nicole." The woman pulled her arm away, "You're safe now. The zombies are gone."
Nikki smiled, she hasn't been this happy in forever. They're really gone? This is amazing.
Nikki got up and walked out the door, her family was sitting outside ready to greet her. Nikki screamed excitedly and they all talked about what the doctors told them.
The Next Morning
"Z DAY IS OVER!" The reporter man said on TV.
Zach sat in the recliner chair. Nick was lying on the couch, and Nikki was sitting in the bean bag chair. Zach changed the channel…
The extra zombies were in a pen, a man said, "Now this here is the pen where they scientists are keeping the things, they call 'zombies.' They are examining how this all started. They seem to think that it has to do with something in the blood. But-
Zach turned the TV off. "What a load of bull shit. I bet some crazy mad scientist created a serum and injected it in people and made those people spread it by eating other people!"
Nikki shook her head, "Stupid! You played Resident Evil too much."
The End….
Or is it?
