Chapter 2

Enjoy! Tell me what u think ;)

The alarm clock went off. It was officially 10:00 in the morning. Neither of them slept at all. They couldn't stop thinking about what happened. All they did was talk and be there for each other while their dad was downstairs dealing with it.

Mason and Daniel didn't know what to do. Tomorrow they would have to leave their home. The place where they grew up and had so many beautiful memories.

Aiden on the other hand, couldn't wait to leave. This home was filled with horrible memories for him. Since he was born he was filled with the guilt of always letting his mother down and not being good enough for her. Mason and Daniel wouldn't understand since they were the perfect children. But Aiden was different and he had a different father. He was a mistake. Anna, their mother, never wanted to have him. He was the aftermath of an affair and she regretted it so much that she didn't love Aiden as much as the twins. He wants to leave this house and all the memories with it.

"Hey, guys we have to pack" Daniel sighed sitting up on his bed. "We have to be ready for tomorrow." He got up and got a black duffel bag.

"Yeah." Aiden said while getting up from the spare mattress on the floor. They had all stayed together in Daniel's room while bill, their father, worked some stuff out. "I don't have much to pack so... I'm gonna go." He put his shoes on and started to check his texts. Nothing. 'That's strange... No one is answering.'

He stood up and made his way downstairs. A sharp foul smell filled his nostrils. "Shit. What is that?" He reached for the door and glanced at the kitchen for a moment. Curiosity got the better of him and now he regrets it. The kitchen was full of blood. The cabinets were open and there were cans of food on the floor. A bag of supplies was on the kitchen counter with some ammo in it too. A hand gun and a bat lay beside the pools of blood. The sight and the smell was too strong that Aiden couldn't handle it. He ripped the door open and left.

Mason sat on her desk writing letters. She didn't want to see her friends since it would hurt too much. Instead she wanted to write letters for them if they ever found it.

She left a note on her desk explaining why she left and different letters for the people she expected to go find her or her family.

Letter one:
Dear Leslie,
You are the best and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm sorry for not talking to you lately. I have not talked to you but it's not because I hate you. If you are reading this letter I just know that I forgive you for kissing my boyfriend. I am quick to forgive but I never forget. Anyway since you probably are looking for me to apologize for the hundredth time i just wanted to say that I love you so much and please be safe. When this all blows over I will find you and we will talk about it.

Letter two:
Dear brad,
I'm sooooo sorry for ruining your date. I didn't for the love of God know you and your girlfriend were in your room. I just wanted to come in because I left my science book in there. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't see anything. That was really awkward. Anyway I love you and please be safe. Protect your girlfriend and when this is all over I'll find you.

Letter three:
Dear Jen,
I honestly have nothing to say to you. I have been nothing but nice to you but I guess jealousy is a disease bitch. Get well soon.

Letter four:
Dear asshole, ill never forgive you for kissing my friend. For me to say that I wont forgive you says a lot so go fuck yourself. If I haven't made it clear, I hope you step on a lego. You're single now, enjoy.

Letter five:
Dear Kate,
I saved the best for last. I love you so much and please for the love of God be safe. If you are reading this please go to our secret place and there is a walkie talkie. I have the other one please talk to me and we'll find each other. You and me are like sisters so please... find this letter.

Mason put each letter on envelopes with their names on it. She began to get all emotional and it was getting hard to breath. Her heart sped up and everything looked blurred. Everything in her life was changing. She has to move out of the house she grew up in and go to safe camp in Atlanta where there are huge walls that will make her feel imprisoned. She clutched the side of the table and breathed slowly and deeply. The foul smell hit her hard. It was coming from downstairs. Slowly, she started to walk towards her door and she reached for the handle when suddenly it started to move. She jumped back and watched as Daniel came in with his duffel bag.

"Hey, I'm finished packing. I'm gonna go to Jen's house and say goodbye." Daniel said.

Ugh. Her? Really? He could do so much better.

"Oh, you're going to her house. I thought you guys broke up." She said with a scowl on her face. While Daniel turned around Mason started to make faces at him.

"I know you don't like her but I have to say goodbye". He started to look around her room and saw the letters on her desk. "What's that?"

"Oh...ignore that." She ran over to her desk and started to hide the letters. Especially the one about Jen. She moved the letters nervously to the side and sat on top of them all while smiling awkwardly at him.

"Whatever." He shook it off and turned around to leave but then stopped. "Have you gone downstairs yet?"

Mason gulped and shook her head. "No I haven't but ...What is that smell?!" She blurted out. She scrunched up her nose and covered it with her hand. The smell was getting stronger and worse. She looked over the door and it was wide open.

"I don't know but I've been trying to ignore it. Must be the bodies down there." He turned to close the door when two of the monsters were coming up the stairs. He quickly shut the down and locked it.

"What are you doing?" Mason asks frightened.

"Shhh!" He hissed. He had tried to be quiet but the 'things' noticed. They started banging on the door and growling.

"Shit!" Mason whispered sharply. "What is that?"

Daniel backed away from the door and started to pace. His face was pulled in a frown. "The things on the news. They are outside."

Aiden rode his bicycle through his neighborhood and watched as most of his friends already left. 'I didn't even know about the disease since three days ago and people are already leaving' He thought. Everything was normal at his school two days ago but now it's all messed up.

He stopped at his best friends house. It was the only person that he wanted to say goodbye to. He walked up the front yard and knocked on the front door. After a while no one answered; he opened the door by himself.

"Hello!" He called into the dark house. The house was too dark for anyone to be home. He checked all the rooms but found nothing. No one was home. But nothing was packed either.

Aiden walked out of the house and made his was to his bike. He picked it up when he heard someone behind him. He turned around and there was his best friend luke. He was one of those monsters. Luke tackled him and tried to take a bite of his face. Aiden screamed and used all of his strength to hold Luke off. His arms were getting weak and Luke's mouth started to drool while fighting him. Aiden screamed louder and louder for someone to hear and help him.

"What's wrong with you man!" He screamed.

BAM! Luke's strength left and he fell on top of Aiden. Blood from his head dripped down to Aiden's neck. He was dead. Aiden pushed him off and crawled away from him as fast as he could. "What the fuck..."he breathed. He touched his sticky neck and looked at his hands in disgust. The blood on his hands and neck was cold and nothing like he ever experienced.
His eyes were wide and looking into space.

"Are you hurt?" A man with a deep voice asked.

Aiden looked up and saw a large man with a rifle. Then he noticed everyone from the neighborhood looking at him.

"Son, are you hurt?" The man repeated.

"No..." He answered softly.

He heard everyone whispering and crying. 'That kid almost got eaten by that walker.' He heard someone say. "Oh well I guess they're called walkers." He whispered to himself. He felt exposed and wanted to leave as fast as possible.

He stood up and looked at Luke. Tears started to well up in his eyes but he wiped them away angrily. He took his bike, looked around real quick and started to pedal.
That's when he noticed monsters coming from every direction. Everyone started to scream and run while he pedaled faster and faster. His legs started to burn and his lungs were on fire but eventually he made it to his house.

"Bill!" He called his stepfather. "We have to leave! The things we saw on tv are everywhere." Man where is he? I haven't seen him since this morning when the incident happened.

He ran up the stairs and froze. Those things were there pounding at Mason's door. He flew down the stairs while the walkers followed him. Aiden was too tired to keep running and his legs failed. His back hit the puddle of blood in the kitchen and the smell of metallic filled his nose. He lay weak and helpless on the floor while the walkers kept coming closer. He looked around and saw the gun and the bat. His hands grabbed the gun and shot at the walker's chest but it kept coming. Two more shots fired but it still wouldn't die. "What the fuck!" Aiden screamed. 'Oh god this is it. I'm gonna die.'

The gun was empty and the bat was too heavy to lift. He kept crawling backwards but then hit the counter. The walkers were growling and snapping its teeth. It felt like an eternity for the walkers to come and kill him. Aiden had no energy since he used it all up coming here as fast as he could. He shook with fear and he started to scream with every breath he could muster up.

"Aiden!" A voice screamed. He started to see red spots and fainted with the smell of blood and death still lingering on his nose.

Bill shot both walkers on the head and they fell on the floor next to his stepson.

"Mason! Daniel!" He called. Then footsteps came running down the stairs.

Mason gasped and started to sob at the sight of her little brother on the floor covered in blood next to dead bodies. She held one hand close to her heart and another to her mouth. "Is he dead" she asked.

"No, just passed out..."Oh shit right! He realized. He had seen walkers making their way around the neighborhood when he was coming back from his office. "Some one carry him we have to leave. The walkers could have heard the gunshots. We have to leave now!" He barked orders.

Daniel carried Aiden out the back door while Mason went upstairs to get the duffel bag. She realized that neither her or Aiden have not packet.

"Those walkers are out there and are coming." Bill said while he prepared the car to leave. "We have to leave now."

"Mason is upstairs. She'll be here. Just wait." Daniel said while he put the still unconscious Aiden inside the car. He turned around to get Mason when he saw a horde of walkers coming. "Dad..." He pointed to the horde.

"Oh Christ" bill whispered. "Daniel, get Mason. We are leaving right now!"

Daniel ran inside the house and up the stairs. He saw Mason packing for her and Aiden. "Mason there are hundreds of walkers out there. We have to leave. Let's go!" He yelled with an urgent voice. He didn't care that he could die. The only thing he wanted was to get his family out of this place.

Mason grabbed her bag that was filled with her and Aiden's clothes while Daniel grabbed his bag. They both ran out of the house and jumped inside the car. Mason felt like vomiting when she saw Aiden sweaty and full of blood. He was still passed out on the seat and was showing no sign of waking up. She looked outside the window while Bill drove around the horde of those things and buried her head between her legs and started sobbing quietly.

Daniel sat in the passenger seat worried about everything. His shoulders were slumped and his eyes were tired. Everything was sore from carrying Aiden to the car and running everywhere. He looked outside the window and watched as they drove by families being torn apart by walkers. He was too tired to care. He looked over to Bill and saw him gnawing on his nail while driving. Then he listened to Masons sobs and he felt his heart break with every hiccup. His eyes slowly closed and he wished they never opened again.
