Here is our second character, Brooke, Created by: FictionWriter2020
I sat up in bed stretching my arms, I swung my legs over the side of my bed and walked to the bathroom, Today is the day, I am finally going to College! I was so exited. I brushed my teeth then got dressed.
"Brooke! c'mon! You don't want to be late do you?" I could hear Mums voice call for me.
"Coming!" I replied, I grabbed my pre-packed bag and raced downstairs. Mum met me at the door and we walked to the car together.
"Your Dad would be so proud of you..." Mum sighed smiling, I gave her a weak smile back, Dad died a few years back from cancer, He was a Scientist.
"Yea..." I replied, I climbed into the car.
"Brooke..." my little sister Carrie said in a small voice, she was nine years old but had the ability and the brain of a thirteen year old, she was the smartest kid I knew.
"Yea Carrie?" I replied looking at her through the mirror.
"Nothing..." She sighed, I wanted to push further but Mum hopped into the car and started the engine, Carrie looked down into her lap and kept quiet, I looked away out the window for the rest of the trip.
We arrived in the big city soon enough, Washington D.C. It was amazing, we drove through until my College was in site, Mum pulled up out front and parked the car.
Me and her stepped out but Carrie stayed in the car. What was wrong with her? She was never usually like this. She coughed a bit but stopped soon enough.
"She must be coming down with something" Mum sighed.
"But never mind that! We are going to miss you so much! Remember If you need anything, we are staying in the City for the night." Mum said hugging me tightly.
"Ill miss you both too..." I whispered. I took my bag and started to walk toward the dormitory.
"Call me when you get settled in!" Mum called after me, I smiled.
"I will!" I called over my shoulder.
I arrived in the dormitory and received the key to my room. Mum had gotten me my own private dorm with my own bathroom, kitchen and small living room. I was really lucky, most of the other girls had to use a public toilet and showered in a shower block. I walked around the halls for a while meeting some new friends, I returned to my dorm and gave mum a quick call.
"Hello" Came a rushed voice on the other end.
"Mum? Is something wrong?" I asked, worried.
"Your sister is a bit sick, Its fine though re- Carrie! No! Don-" The line cut with a long beep. I panicked and grabbed my bag again, luckily I hadn't unpacked yet.
I would stay with Mum and Carrie until she got better then I would return to College when things get better, I decided. As I was walking out of the door several loud shrieks of terror filled the air, I sprinted down the hall to find out what was going on.
In the cafeteria everything had deserted, a small sound was heard though. I walked around slowly.
I rounded a table and I saw the most disturbing thing I think I had ever seen in my entire life.
A person was crouched down beside a girl, eating her. I screamed.
The person got up and started to run at me.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" I shrieked, the person groaned and made terrifying sounds, They jumped at me trying to bite me.
I got a better look at them, They didn't look alive, more... Dead.
I made a break for it, grabbing my bags and running out of the building, The streets where crazy, more 'things' where running around blood and guts drooling out of their mouths, tattered and torn clothes with scars and vacant grey eyes. They all hobbled and hopped around, some without arms and some without legs.
"What is this?! Some sort of Zombie apocalypse?!" I screamed out, regretting it when they all turned to me and made their way toward me moaning and groaning with hunger.
I ran up to a random car and broke into it, I grabbed a bobby pin from my hair and stuck it into the key hole, Samantha had shown me how to do this incase of emergency, she had said.
I started the car and backed out, running a few over, I drove as fast as i could, my nerves where killing me so I turned the radio on.
"More reports of the outbreak have been confirmed, we advise you to stay in your homes or to make your way to a Quarantine Camp! All citizens have been granted the permission to carry guns and knifes. More information will be released shortly." The woman on the radio announced, I reached over and turned it off, so this wasn't a joke... This was real...
I drove to the hotel Mum and Carrie where staying at. I got out and ran up the stairs, people where flooding out of the building but i pushed them out of the way.
I found the room Mum said that they where staying in and banged on the door.
"MUM! CARRIE! LET ME IN!" I screamed. nothing happened so I gave up and bust the door down. They where no where to be seen.
"Mum! Carrie! " I whispered loudly.
The Window had been smashed in and there was blood stains everywhere.
"Mum...Carrie..." I sobbed. They must have gone somewhere safe. Right? I ran down the hallway and back to my stolen car, I hopped in and drove down the highway toward the Quarantine Camp.
