Chapter 9: Awaken
It was quiet in downtown Washington, it was an unusual feeling as the area was often filled with noise and life, hundreds of men, women, and children's bodies laid lifeless all through the street, they all varied in size, age, and race. Dark clouds began to form above them, and minutes later, rain began to pour with lightning accompanying it. Suddenly the eyes of every one of the bodies popped open and they all let out a moan, a moan of pain, of anguish, and most of all...of hunger.
Rocket bar, 4:00
The bar had steadily become packed as the day had worn on, most were here to grab a bite to eat while some sat at the bar. As Billy was serving some beer to some customers, he noticed two people enter the bar, they were male but their heads were down and their clothes were soaked from the outside rain. They slowly approached a table where a family of four was sitting enjoying themselves, suddenly the man let out a scream as the two men grabbed the man and bit into his neck and shoulder, the man's wife and kids got away from the table and ran behind the bar as many of the bar's patrons ran out but suddenly came back in as more people similar to the two attackers came into the bar, all moaning and wet. Billy could not believe what he was seeing, grabbing the shotgun underneath the bar, he aimed at one of the attackers and blew his head off, blood flew everywhere. As Billy shot and killed several of the attackers, he realized that many of the people in the bar had already or were being killed and eaten. Seeing the frightened woman and children hiding underneath the bar, he said,
"Come with me, we gotta get to the police station." They nodded and began to follow him as he shot his way through the undead and got out of the bar. Meanwhile, the hospital had already been swarmed and both patients and doctors were being attacked and eaten. Rebecca and several doctors and patients had taken refuge in a empty room, they put several things in front of the door to prevent the undead from getting in. The door shook several times as the undead pounded on the door.
"Does anyone here have a cell phone I can use?" Rebecca shouted as the patients and doctors were yelling amongst each other. One of the patients handed her a cell phone and she dialed 911.
"Oh God I hope they haven't gotten to the police station yet..." Rebecca pleaded to herself as the phone continued to ring.
Author's notes: The undead are awake and on a rampage...the next chapter will have leon with the military/police going up against the undead...will they succeed or fall to the undead?
