AN: Hi thanks for the reviews. I promised that Mr. Miles would die and he did, I also promised chickens and you will get them. That probably doesn't make sense to anybody except Kyara. Keep reading and sorry for the sort of cliff hanger. Please R&R! Oh and this chapter is the last so it is really, really long. The longest I've ever written.

I was frightened, and Edward was too. We didn't know how we could survive, well I didn't, maybe Edward did. I hoped so. I glanced over at him, but his attention was focused on something else. Probably the zombies.

They kept getting closer, step-by-step. Then we heard a loud sound and all of the zombies and we looked in the direction it came from. There were ten tanks coming strait towards us. I don't think that they knew un-infected people were in the group. Edward was a faster thinker than I was so he had the smart idea of running away while the zombies were occupied.

I followed him, I guess the tanks were what he was focusing on before. We ran to the centre of town, basically following the other three tanks we saw. I realised then that if we followed the tanks we would be in the centre of action. Not a good place to be. I yelled this thought to Edward who stopped running in one direction and started running in another, towards my house.

We reached my house and sneaked in. Well sort of snuck because we didn't know if anybody was in there. Luckily there wasn't.

Edward decided that we should call the military again to tell them we only knew that we were alive. I tried but the phone was down. So was the network service on the mobile.

I don't know how long we sat in my lounge room just staring at the blank TV screen. I couldn't take it anymore. "Edward, we're leaving. I want to go see all the action. Yesterday I said I was bored and I wanted something interesting to happen. I didn't necessarily mean this but if it's interesting I want in. So I'm going, you don't have to come with me if you don't want to." I stood up and walked into the hallway.

As far as I knew, he was following. We trekked into town at a full speed. As soon as I saw what was in town I wish I hadn't come. It was an image I would never get out of my mind for the rest of my life. Edward saw the exact same thing I saw and pulled me into a tight embrace.

Edward and I have been best friends since I moved to Forks, so he'd seen me cry. I cried into his chest. I think he was trying his hardest not to cry, but I knew he needed too and that he was. I could feel his tears in my hair.

We stood together silently crying for I don't know how long. When I finally pulled myself together, we headed towards the mess of Forks.

I stepped carefully, not wanting to walk in the blood of my friends and family. The military/army people were still here looking for more zombies or saviours. The pulled there guns up when they saw us, then put them down when they realised we were human.

They raced over to us and put blankets around us. I never let go of Edward, I didn't want to. Mainly because I couldn't loose anyone else, and because of well...I think I was gaining feelings for him. No, it was just that he was my best friend. That's what I told myself.



The army personnel asked as many questions. I was glad when I found out there was a cure to this zombieitis as they called it. They had cured plenty of people all of which were in a makeshift tent. That I was so happy to hear.

What I wasn't happy to hear was that at least 150 people in the small town of Forks had died. I had a sharp intake of breath when I heard this and Edward tightened his grip on me.

We were taken to the tent and as soon as we walked in, we were attacked by hugs from our friends. I broke away quickly and dragged Edward behind me. I scanned the crowd hoping to find Charlie or any of Edward's family or any of our friends.

I spotted Charlie just after he spotted me. I ran to him and he pulled me into an awkward hug. I hugged him back. "Oh Bella, I was so worried about you. I had no idea if you were a zombie or if you were dead or alive. God I am so happy you're okay."
"I was worried about you too dad. Do you know if Carlisle, Esme, or Emmett is here?"

Charlie sighed and gave an apologetic look towards Edward and me. Edward looked down at his feet. I let go of Charlie and hugged Edward. He didn't want to cry with all these people around him. So I just kept on holding him, because now it was my turn to try to be the strong one.

I wanted to cry too because Emmett was like a brother to me too and Carlisle and Esme were like my second parents.

When I let go of him we sat down to tell our story to the many awaiting people. We left out the part about Esme. I was sure that neither Edward nor I could retell that.

We heard a commotion outside and I went to get up but Edward pulled me down onto his lap. "You can't go out there. Lisa told me that when we hear something we have to stay put." I made and O shape with my mouth and just pulled myself closer to Edward.

We heard feet walking towards the tent, Edward tensed, I guess hoping it was his family. I hoped it was too. The flap opened and around five chickens waddled through I started laughing and so did a number of other people.

Carlisle and some of the other doctors and nurses stepped through the flap next. I jumped off Edward's lap so he could go to his father. He didn't get there first some of the other towns people who thought that Carlisle was drop dead beautiful did. He pulled away from them looking for Esme, Edward, and Emmett I guessed.

As soon as he saw Edward, they ran to each other and had an emotional hug. I looked away not wanting to ruin their moment. When it was over, I walked over to them. Carlisle pulled me into a hug too. "I'm so happy you too are okay. Is your mother or brother here Edward?" Carlisle asked hopefully.

Edward shook his head. "Mum was a zombie when Bella, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper and I went home. We though we killed her but she got back up and ran away or so we think. Bella and I went to go get food when we walked back into the basement they were all zombies and they were eating mum." Edward once again looked down at his shoes.



I hugged his waist again. Carlisle broke down. He was on the floor sobbing. Edward and I helped him up and took him over to where Charlie was. He had stopped crying and Edward had one arm around Carlisle's shoulder and the other arm around my waist.

I excused myself from the little, sad reunion saying that I needed to go to the bathroom. I walked over to one of the many army officers. "Excuse me?" I asked quietly,
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"Well I know that you have probably been asked this heaps today, but is there any chance that any of the zombies that were killed being turned back into humans and being alive? I know it's a stupid question but I just want to know." I said while looking at his eyes, longing to see some hope.

"You were right; plenty of people have asked me that. However, I'm really sorry we tried that on a zombie who was dead, yes they did turn back into humans, but they were still dead. The wounds stay in effect after you are turned back into a human. I really am truly sorry." I could tell he was sincere.

"Thank-you for telling me and thankyou for coming to save as many people as you could. I am happy that there are still some of my friends alive. Thank-you." I turned and walked away but he grabbed my shoulder.

"I know that you might not know but I was wondering if you knew which school child discovered that there were zombies. All of the people in this room were turned into zombies and cannot remember who it was."
"Yeah I know who it was. Why?"
"You do that is great. Could you tell me? Oh, we want to know because we need to know exactly what happened."
"It was me. I walked into the office and found the main desk woman under her desk, she had been bitten. Then I walked to the other offices and saw that everyone else in there was bitten too. I walked towards a strange sound and saw three of them eating one of my teachers."

"Okay, and then what happened?" I explained what happened in detail and he was fascinated.

"That is amazing that you knew what to do in a situation like this one. I have to go tell my colleges. If you will excuse me and thankyou for telling me."

I let him go and I walked back to Charlie, Carlisle, and Edward. "What took you so long Bella?" Edward asked while pulling me onto his lap. "Oh, I never went to the bathroom, I wanted to ask something to one of the army men."
"What did you want to ask them?" Edward asked. Charlie looked interested too and so did Carlisle. I was glad he had gained composure.

"I just wanted to know if there was anyway of turning dead zombies back into humans and them being alive," I said it quickly and quietly, "there isn't." I looked down and I felt Edward's shoulders slump.

I excused myself again and told them that this time I actually had to go to the bathroom. I walked slowly over there not wanting to attract attention. I didn't, that was good.



As I walked into the bathroom I heard another strange sound. I looked around for the source. It was somebody climbing through the window. It was a zombie. What is it with them and windows?

I started to back away, but it dropped from the window and saw me. I froze. It was Alice. She ran at me and attacked my side. It stung like hell and Alice looked satisfied. I need to get back to the tent to get her and me cured too. I tried to stand and walk to the door. I never got there. I passed out on the floor.

Edward's Point of view.

I didn't think I would be able to handle the fact that my mother had died and my brother might be dead or still a zombie. God I hoped that he was still alive. Well as alive as a zombie could be. Dad wasn't holding up that well. He was doing okay but he was still a little down. Everybody here was.

Bella had just excused herself to go to the bathroom for real this time. She had been gone for only five minutes but I was getting agitated. I couldn't lose her too. I need her she was my best friend, and I think I'm in love with her.

Well, I know I'm in love with her, I have been since freshman year. Maybe longer. She had been sitting in my lap before she left and she felt so right there. It felt so right to have my arms around her small, fragile, frame.

I wanted her back there, now. I waited patiently. It had been ten minutes now, it couldn't take her that long. Maybe she got caught up with someone. It would be okay, she is fine. I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me, then all of a sudden I heard Emmett's booming voice. I turned around to see him striding towards us.

He was alive. Cured. I stood up and we hugged, then he hugged Carlisle. Behind him Rosalie and Jasper were walking. Jasper looked really upset about something. Then I realised that Alice wasn't with them.

Rosalie and Jasper were surrounded by there family in no time. I was glad that they had there family still. They told there story. I wasn't listening, Bella still wasn't back. Something must be wrong. I stood up on the chair I was sitting on trying to see her, "What are you doing Edward?" Emmett asked in a questioning tone. I ignored him and looked for Bella. I couldn't see her anywhere. I jumped down, "Edward, what the hell?" Emmett said.

"Bella left to go to the bathroom that was 20 minutes ago. I can't see her. I'm worried, I need her here." Nobody knew that I was in love will Bella. I guess Emmett guessed then,
"Oh my god Edward. You're in love with her. I knew it. She is probably fine, you know chicks, she probably saw one of her friends in the bathroom and now she's talking to her."

Emmett had guessed right. Now he would be bugging me about it forever. I walked over to the bathroom then I thought that I shouldn't go into the girls bathroom. I found Rose and asked her to go in there for me. Even if she didn't really like Bella she was still sort of her friend and went in for me.



I walked away from the door and didn't hear anything for a while. Emmett came over to me, "What are you doing Edward, and have you seen Rosalie?"
"I'm waiting for Bella, and Rosalie just went in there for me, to see if she is in there."

Emmett settled down and waited with me. Now Bella had been in there for 40 minutes, Rosalie had been in there for 20 minutes. Nobody else was going in there, and I didn't want to ask anybody else.

I couldn't stand it and Emmett couldn't either. I walked into the bathroom. There was nobody in there. I spun around to face Emmett he was shocked. That's when I saw it. Blood in one of the stall of the bathroom.

I raced over to it and saw that it was blood. Something was defiantly wrong. "Edward, there is blood over here too; it looks like they were dragged out of the window."

I ran to the window and looked out. It was the back of the tent and there were nobody around there. Except Rosalie, Bella, and Alice. They were all zombies. They looked like they were planning something. I backed slowly into the bathroom and told Emmett what I saw.

We raced back into the tent and found some army people. "Hi, there are three zombies outside behind the tent." Three people went out there with there guns and antidote stuff. They asked us how it happened.

"I think one of our friends Alice, was a zombie and she was hiding in the bathroom, Bella went in there and I think she got attacked, then i started getting worried because it had been 20 minutes so I asked Rosalie to go and have a look, she was in there for 20 minutes too. Then Emmett and I went in a saw blood. We looked out the window and saw them standing there looking like they were plotting something."

He just nodded and went to see how things were progressing. Before he was even out the door, the three people who left came back. With Alice and Rosalie.

They were okay, which was great. I couldn't see Bella. Rosalie ran to Emmett and Alice was looking around. Probably for Jasper and her dad. Jasper saw her and ran to her. They were a strange couple; they just stood there and stared at each other. Then they embraced. I was happy Alice was okay, but I was freaking about the fact that Bella wasn't there.

"You said there were three, there was only two. You obviously cannot count," I took this guy to be the smart-arse idiot who nobody liked, but he was really good at what he did.

"There were three. I can count actually, I'm not an idiot. I know there were three, one was Alice, she wasn't here before, then there was Rosalie who was here before, and Bella. She was here too and I know she was out there!" I said angrily to his face.

"I don't care what you think you saw but I can tell you that there was only those two out there, and I know that there wasn't a third! SO BACK OFF KID!" He yelled at me.
"YOU THINK I'M LYING! I'M NOT A DUMB-ARSE LIKE YOURSELF AND I KNOW WHAT I SAW, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO FIND HER I WILL!" I yelled back at him and stormed out of the tent. They called me back but I didn't listen.



On my way out, I grabbed what I knew what the antidote stuff.

They tried to grab me but I ran. I went to the back of the tent to search for her. I looked everywhere. I ran into the woods behind the tent. I found her trail, she had left footprints. I was glad it rained a lot in Forks, mud leaves footprints. Fantastic.

I followed them deep into the forest. Until I found her sitting under a tree. I walked slowly up to her. Why would a zombie be hiding in the woods, sitting under a tree?

I stood in front of her. "Bella?" She looked up. She didn't move. Just stared at me. I had a feeling that she didn't want to be a zombie. "Are you going to kill me?" She said in a small voice that I knew not to be hers.

"No, I'm going to turn you back into a human." She continued to stare. I asked her if she would come with me in peace and not try to hurt me. She agreed and followed me; well I led her more so. I wanted to change her now, but I didn't know how to use the antidote.

I wondered why she wasn't trying to hurt me. "Why aren't you trying to eat me or turn me into one you?"
"Because, she is strong. She won't let me hurt you. That's why I ran out here." I was lost for words. So Bella was still in there.

I had her wrist as I walked back to the front of the tent, "I told you there were three. Now can you cure her please?" They looked stunned and I led her to where they told me the cure tent was. I handed the antidote to one of the army personnel in the tent and they sprayed it in her mouth. It took only ten minutes. Those ten minutes were agonizing.

She opened her eyes slowly. I looked deep into her brown eyes. She looked back at me, "Where am I Edward. The last thing I remember is going into the bathroom. ALICE!" She gasped the last word.

"Alice is fine, she turned you and Rose into zombies. You ran away while the other two were changed back into humans." She nodded in understanding. I helped her up. She was about to let go but I held onto her. I pulled her into a tight hug. I would never let her go again.

She squeezed me back. We stood like that until Charlie came running in. I guess he was told that his daughter was okay. He was followed by Alice. Charlie hugged her and I had to let go of her, I felt horrible without her in my arms. Alice hugged her tight after Charlie, "Oh, Bella I am so sorry that I changed you into a zombie, I didn't know what I was doing. I am so glad you're okay."

Bella laughed and told her it was okay. As soon as Alice let go of her we headed back into the tent. I grabbed her waist from behind and didn't let her go. She didn't push me off. I smiled and Bella was blushed a deep pink.



BPOV

It's been three months since the zombie invasion. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward, and I were all sitting at the table under the big tree at school. It was the last day before break.

Nothing has happened since that horrible day three months ago, well unless you count the massive day we had for all the people who died. It was sort of a huge funeral procession. It was hard at first but everyone had gotten back to normal.

It was still hard to go over to Edward's house; it was hard to see the staircase and the basement. The hardest part though was seeing the kitchen of his home empty. There was hardly ever the smell of food from there when I went over.

The only other thing that happened was a really happy thing. After Jasper thought that Alice was dead, he was horribly sad, but then when he found out she was alive he was ecstatic. You could tell that they really loved each other.

So after about a week when all of the funerals and what not were over he asked her to marry him. Of course she said yes, how could she not. They were going to go away for a year to collage, and then go on a trip around the world for another year, and then they would come back and get married. That day we were so happy for them.

They never left each other's side. Emmett and Rosalie were still going strong as well. They were going off to collage as well after the break. Edward and I still had a year of high school to go.

Nothing had happened between Edward and me. I guess he didn't feel the same way about me as I did him. I knew I was in love with him. I think I always have been, but I didn't know it. The day that I was changed back into a human and I opened my eyes and the first thing I see is Edward's fantastic green eyes staring at me, I knew I loved him more than a best friend.

I looked over at him and he was looking at me. I blushed and turned back to the conversation. I hadn't been paying attention but I picked up the gist of the way the conversation had turned. "Honestly, you two obviously have feelings for one another. You should just get on with it already. Edward, just kiss her!" Alice said in a pushy voice.

I blushed a deeper pink and looked down at my hands folded in my lap. I wish he would just kiss me, but I knew he wouldn't. There was plenty of 'yeah just do it's and 'come on we know you love each other's. I wanted to die this was horrible.

"I have to go now!" I said and stood up and walked away. I heard somebody get up to follow me so I just walked faster to my last class. Someone caught my shoulder and turned me around. It was Edward.

He looked at me. I was about to pull away and keep walking but he took my face in his hands and crashed his lips into mine. Just as I was about to kiss him back he pulled away from me. "Bella, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that, I-i-i-i...I'm sor-"

I cut him off, "Are you done yet? You don't need to apologize. You just shocked me; I didn't think you felt the same way about me as I did you."



"What?" He didn't know what I was talking about.
"I love you, you idiot!" With that, I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes to kiss him. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me up. I heard cheers coming from the direction of the table.

I pulled away and looked up into his eyes. They were glowing, and he had the biggest, goofiest smile on his face. I probably looked the same. "I love you too Bella!" He said and I kissed him again.

I was so happy. This was the best day.

Over the break and through our last year of school we were inseparable. We loved each other so much and nothing could bring us apart. Everything seemed better with Edward by my side.

Everything from now on would never be bad if I could go back to Edward afterwards. Life was great.

The End.

AN: Sorry to disappoint anyone by not killing everyone off. Sorry that I had to have a successful conclusion, but meh I don't care anymore. This chapter was massive and thanks for reading.

R&R please.
