Teryn was mesmerized by the sights which awaited her outside. People were chasing other people and... eating them. They were yelling at her to help in-between broken sobs and screams. All she could do was stare, as if she were in a trance.
Pity she failed to notice the looming figure approaching. Teryn let out a shriek of pain as she felt something bite her shoulder. She shook it off and swung the purse at its head, hoping the blow would knock them out. Sadly, it didn't work. Luck just wasn't her day today... She sprinted to her mother's SUV, and tried the key.
"Shit". She went through the key ring, having a hard time finding the right key. Another one grabbed her, but this time she was ready. She pushed them and punched their chest with all of her might, knocking it back several yards. Unfortunately, she didn't draw enough strength from her sore muscles. At least it was enough to stun them temporarily.
She unlocked the car and got inside. She was only 14, but she learned to drive from her brother. They would usually sneak out in the middle of the night and he would take her to an empty parking lot and let her practice, before "that" happened. A tear ran down her cheek but she didn't even bother to wipe it away.
She inserted the car key and it sputtered... and died.
By now she was sobbing uncontrollably, listening in panic to the "monsters" trying to get in.
Suddenly, she heard a crack, and another, and finally the passenger seat window broke open, her "mother" thrash about, attempting to grab what would most likely be her next meal.
She rubbed her eyes and tried the car key again.
It sputtered... and died.
What do you think? Yes, this is the last chapter...
