We were camping, we were having fun. Then, it went a blur. Blood of my friends stained on
the ground and in my mind. Never will I be able to look at life the same way, never will
I be able to love someone, because I know they'll leave, just like everyone else, just
like I will.
"Jesus Callie, that's like your fourth!" Jakeele laughs. "Who cares?" She replies, "Not
like I'm going anywhere tonight." I laugh gulping down another drink of beer. Jakeele
sits playing with the campfire, Jack chopping more wood, swet forming in his brown hair
in a flip, Josh and Leah sit holding hands and whispering, Ceilidh, Raven and Victoria
asleep in the trailer, Shelby sleeps in her chair occasionally scarring us by suddenly
scratching her brown hair, and Callie drunk off her ass, like always. Then there's me,
nothing special, just an 18 year old kid trying to get through high school. "Wait, what's
that?" Leah says. Everything goes silent, nothing. "Leah, you must be as drunk as
Callie." Jakeele laughs. Suddenly there's a loud moan from the woods. "That's what I
heard!" Leah exclaims. "Ceilidh? Raven, Victoria?" Jack yells into the trailer. I open
the door. They're all now out of bed. "What the hell was that?" Victoria asks putting a
sweater on. "I'm not sure, just come join the group." I help the three out. Suddenly
there's a rustle from a bush. "Guys." Jakeele backs up, a metal stick with a wooden
handle is what he holds, a half toasted marshmallow still on it. Suddenly a figure
emerges, pale skin, white eyes, his arm bleeding badly. "Look dude, we don't want any
trouble." Josh says. The thing lunges at Callie and pins her down. Jack comes out of no
where and slams his axe down on the beasts back. Everyone either in shock or screaming on
the top of their lungs. But this doesn't stop the beast, it sinks it's teeth into
Callie's cheek. She cries in pain. "Is that a fucking zombie?!" Jakeele screams. "Head,
the head!" I've played enough and seen enough zombie shows to know how to deal with this.
Jack lifts the axe and slams it into the thing's head. After all the commotion dies down
Josh is the first to speak, "Was that a fucking zombie?" He asks. "Sure damn looked like
one." Jakeele says. "We don't know what it was so why are we assuming shit?" Shelby asks.
"Well how bout we get to out of the middle of no where, my folks are probably worried."
Jack says. "What about our parents?" Raven asks. Everyone breaks out into panic. "Shut
up!" I scream, "We don't know what hell this is, but someone has to, so were gonna get
out of here and find someone who does. Pack up." Suddenly there's a scream. "More!"
Jakeele yells smacking one with his..marshmallow roasting stick, the marsh mellow
sticking to the beasts head. "Get in." Jack is ahead of everyone, already at the truck.
My legs carry me as fast away from the others as I can. I'm in the passenger's seat, Josh
and Leah in the back, Jack in the front. He floors it away. "We can't fucking leave
them!" Josh said. Jack doesn't pay attention. My hand hits his arm. "Are we leaving
them?" I ask. "Far from it." Jack pulls a u-turn. "Glove box." He says. I open it,
there's a pistol. "What the hell dude!" Josh says. "Either we play fucking 21 questions
or save our friends." Jack says. "Drive he gets out and onto the back of the truck, I
climb into the drivers seat and floor it back. I can still hear their screams. With one
hand on the wheel my other takes my pocket knife out. We approach the others and I pull
a sharp left and stop. I jump out and hear Jack's gun go off. Ceilidh and Victoria run
and get in the back of the truck, Shelby jumps in the passenger's seat. Raven is soon
behind but my arm grips her and stops her, "Jakeele?" She points. Jakeele is on the top
of the trailer kicking these things down. Stabbing a zombie in the head I make my way
towards Jakeele. Suddenly the car starts again, Leah is driving, she blows down an entire
side, Jakeele leaps into the back. I turn to run but there are 3 Z's blocking my path. I
stab one, but my knife is stuck! It falls, my knife buried in it's head. The Z with
Jakeele's marsh mellow on it's face comes at me next. I shove it to the side. I stop when
I see the last zombie, it's Callie. She shuffles towards me, my eyes spot a beer bottle,
my hand grips it and I smash it off Callie's head, she collapses. "Get in." Jack says
still shooting on the back. Josh helps me into the back. We then drive off.
We drive in silent, all with I'm sure the same thing in our minds, "Are our families
alive." and "Is anyone alive." "There's got to be others right?" Jakeele asks. "Of
course, you couldn't be the only ones." Leah says. "We were out there for a week.." Raven
says, "Who knows how long this things been going on." "We still have hope, don't let it
go." Jack says. The guy who doesn't speak giving everyone hope. The sign read "Now
leaving Kejimakujic National Park. Thanks for staying!" More back roads for a while until
we entered the small little town of mass town. We still can't drive fast because the
people on the back. We stop at the market and everyone gets out and we go in. The place
hasn't even been touched. "Who can cook?" Jack smiles as the stove still works. No one
volunteers so I do, so does Josh and Leah. Others go get hamburger paties, fries and
anything else they want to eat. After an amazing supper we load packs with non-parashable
food items. "Guys look!" Shelby points to a car on the road. Jack takes his pistol out,
"Can you shoot?" He asks me, I'm not out the door yet. I nod. He tosses it through the
door. I sit near a window. The car pulls into the market. Everyone stand their ground.
"Group of seven and eighteen yearolds?" A man, the obvious leader, holds a barb wired bat.
"Now who wants to explain to me how your still alive?" The leader who seems about
twenty-five speaks again, another man and a women who are about the leaders age are
behind him. "Probably luck Duke." The other man says. "Now what's in those bags?" He
reaches for Josh's bag. He doesn't let him have it. "Bad choice dude." The man says. He
shoves josh down. The other women reveals a pistol, the other man a butcher knife. "Give
me the bag or your going to be in a world of hurt." Duke smiles. Suddenly Jack's thumb
goes up. I pull the trigger and let a bullet fly into the women's head. Duke looks over,
I shoot him as well. "Look, please don't hurt me!" The man begs. "Drop the pack." Jakeele
says. He does but we let him keep the knife, he runs off. Jack picks up the pistol, we
trade. "This guy had the keys." Shelby throws them to be. "There's a motel just up the
road we should make camp there." Leah says. Everyone agrees. "Guys." Ceilidh stops us.
"We just fucking killed two people and were not even giving two shits!" She yells.
Everyone is quite. "They would've killed us. That's the only reason we did." I say, "We
won't unless we have to." I get in the back of a truck. Jack drive the truck with me,
Raven, Shelby and Victoria in it, the new Honda has Jakeele driving, also with Ceilidh,
Leah, and Josh.
Just as the sun begins to set we arrive at 'Charles' Place.' We camped there, with no
troubles.
