Ch. 2 Finding friends?
My eyes flutter open to see a gloomy room. I hoist myself off the bed to see that the sun is slowly coming up. it must be very early in the morning if its still dark out. My knees wobbled a little as I walked over to the girl's dresser and looked inside. her shirt's were tight and short on me while her pants went up to my upper ankles. theres no point in wearing these clothes they're way too small. I slip on my blood soaked clothes again, the blood hasn't dried yet and feel cold against my skin. The smell of the blood seeps into my nostrils, I fall to my knees and start to gag. This is disgusting! I gag more but only saliva and extra stomach fluids come out. I quickly take off the blood soaked clothes and throw them across the room trying to get the stench away from me. I hobble over to the window sill and take a huge breath of morning air. The nausea in my stomach fades away and I slump against the wall.
"Shit.." I silently mumble. This stench is horrible! how am I ever going to survive if I can't even handle the stench of blood? will I get use to it? I have to stop thinking and start moving! I get up and walk out of aj's bedroom but i don't look down or else I would see my dead dad and it would make me cry again. I slowly step around trying to avoid blood pools. I step into another room that is decorated with posters and pictures on the walls. Its kind of sad to see the pictures of a teenager that is probably dead, she use to have a life and now its gone. a small tear passes my eye but I quickly wipe it away. A small horrifying thought crosses my mind, I take a quick glance out the door at the blonde zombie that I ended with my sketchbook. That blonde girl is...was Aj's sister! I can't feel bad! she was a zombie, I had to do it! and I'm guessing the brunette dead zombie was their mother. Wait if they were all in their home while it happened… then there must be another zombie in here that bit at least one of them. shit shit shit! i'm gonna have to kill another zombie! Fuck, my dad has all the guns and theres no way i can look at him in his current state. I search the room with my eyes and see a few things I could use to kill a zombie. I see a small stool in a corner of the room that I could use, but first of all I need clothes badly. I search quickly through a dresser but find nothing but skintight revealing clothes that wouldn't even fit. Maybe she has old clothes in the closet! I scramble through the closet and eventually find a box labeled 'old clothes'. I pull out a pair of lace up black boots, maroon skinny jeans, a black tank top, and a grey hoodie kind of like my old one.
a large *CRACK* sounds as I smash the small wooden stool.
" This will have to do" I say as a take the broken stool leg. the zombie is probably somewhere down stairs. I walk out the door holding the stool leg like a bat, ready to strike at any moment. Its weird, a day ago I was home saying goodbye to my mother and now i'm about to beat a zombie to death in this girls house that I dont even know. I tense at each step I take down the creaky stairs, and My heartbeat speeds up as I near the bottom. I turn the corner around the bottom of the stairs and meet face to face with something living, I immediately swing my stool leg. It hits the thing square in the face and it falls to the floor in a pool of blood.
"OH my god" I almost screamed. The dead zombie is a person I know! its my friend Felix's mom…. or what use to be his mom. I never really knew his mother that much because she was always working but I knew that for Felix knowing he lost his own mother would be very tragic and sad for him. I wonder if he knew she was dead. I have to get out of here, I can't stay around all this dead. This will all end soon when the government comes and wipes out all these monsters. First I should take some food and supplies on the go.
I open the fridge and most of the food is still fresh but won't last long. I search through the kitchen but only find 4 cans of beans, 2 bags of crackers, and 1 bottle of water. I find a black backpack in a random closet and put the food and my sketchbook inside. wait I need a weapon besides my stool leg….. my dad has a few guns…I have to take them, thats what he would want.
My dads body looks pale and tired. Tears start forming and I can't stop. With a shaky hand I reach towards my dads gun holster and quickly pull the 9 millimeter. I reach for the glock 17 clamped in his hands. I grab the barrel and it moves effortlessly out of his hands reminding me more that he's dead. Tears well up in my eyes and my vision starts to go blurry. I stumble to the floor and cry but this time i can't stop. I cant do this right now, I have to find my friends….they're all I have left. I leave the house with 2 guns, a bag of food, and clean clothes, the only thing i'm missing is a happy conscience.
I've been walking on the outskirts of atlanta for hours, I've seen a few zombies but have run away or hid.
"Uhhgg" I moan in exhaustion. I wipe the sweat layering my face away and pull my brown hair into a ponytail. The hot sun beams on me making me thirsty. I pull out the one bottle of water I have and drink the last drop.
"shit, im outta wat-" I say but i'm cut off by a scream. oh no oh no what should I do, if I go over there someone might need my help, but if they're screaming then they must be swarmed by zombies…. I have to go its only humane! I run towards the screaming. My lungs feel like they are on fire and my legs feel like they are about to break in half but i keep running. I see a figure fighting off three zombies about 50ft away. I drop my backpack on the side of the road, I keep my gun in its holster while I hold the broken stool leg like a baseball bat. The figure gets the axe its holding stuck in one of the zombies heads but is struggling to take it out. I run up to the fight and swing my wooden stool leg at the closest zombie. Its cracked grooling black teeth are bashed into its brain as I strike hard. The last zombie managed to knock over the person and is chomping its teeth and reaching it grotesque hands out desperate for food. I raise the stool leg high above my head and swing down with force. The blow nocks the zombie off the person but its brain is still intact. It reaches its long arms out but I plunge the stool leg straight through its eye socket making a small mist of blood on my hoodie. I feel nausea start in my gut but I don't let myself throw up, instead I turn so my back is facing the person and I take a deep breath.
"Kat?" The person behind me says. I recognize that voice! I turn around and see my friend felix.
"FELIX!" I scream and run towards him and give him a huge hug.
" Oh my gosh you're ok! I thought you were dead!" a tear forms in my eye but I wipe it away quickly, fearful that more would come but none do.
"Fuck, how are you alive. I thought that atlanta would radio into the airport about the zombies..plague… disease.. or whatever it is" He says in disbelief. His clothes and face were caked in blood and dirt.
"dude what happened to you? is Sophia safe?" I ask frantically.
"I dont know? My mom and dad were on their way to visit surprise visit a friend and I was home alone…" He started to choke up.
"wwhen… I hheard aaa screeam, I-I llooked ooo-uut the-the windoww when I saw my dad being ripped apart by those monsters..monssstterss" Felix choked up and broke into tears. I started walking to my backpack when we saw a few more zombies heading our way. I sprinted towards my bag and ran back to felix.
"Felix its time to run, we have to go" I told him. We ran away.
" Its been hours Kat, we have to take a break" Felix whined.
" We can't its sunset, we can't stop now!" I snapped back. He looked a little hurt but didn't say anything.
"sorry felix, im just tired. you're right we should rest" I say apologetically. I feel guilty, I've never snapped at Felix before.. we are best friends along with sophia, and she might be dead but felix I know is alive and I should be nicer.
It was now dark outside and yet I was very happy, someone I know is with me and I have crackers which by the way are one of my favorite things to snack on. We were sitting on the side of the road hiding behind a few trash cans and eating the crackers I took from the girl Aj's house.
" We should get going it's getting even darker, soon we won't even be able to see anymore". Felix nods in agreement. It feels like all my leg muscles tense when I stand up. Joy spreads across Felix's face.
"what is it?" I ask him.
"Look there" he points a finger towards yellow glowing lights.
"CARS!" I shout. Joy spreads across my face.
"Ive heard that the government said that the cities were safe spots but not everyone was let in yet" Felix says.
"but that means most don't know about the city" I respond.
"what about the city? its safe. I thought thats where we were heading?" Felix questions.
"Are you fucking serious! the city is Infested! we were moving on the outskirts so we could find sophia and get away from the city!" I yell at him.
" I didn't fucking know! dont yell at me I didn't know! you didn't tell me anything!" He yells back.
" Im sorry I yelled at you. I just thought you knew and this whole situation is messed up. Yesterday my dad died and I bashed in a zombies head with my sketchbook" I say with sadness. I didn't want to tell him about his mom… at least not yet.
"Its ok, my dad died yesterday too….. but I think my mom is still alive" He says slightly depressed but cheering up at the last part. It would just kill him if he found out.
we walked up to the highway filled with cars. people were camped out with tents and small barbeques.
"should we ask if they know sophia, carol, or ed?" I ask felix.
"ya.. we should ask" Felix answers.
I walk up to a tough looking guy with a police badge and about to ask but my social anxiety gets in the way and I stop. maybe I should just ask felix to ask him, he looks a little bit scary. no I have to break past my shyness, its the freaking apocalypse.
I tap on the officers shoulder "hi, do you need something?" the man asks.
"well.. uhhm .. do you know a girl named sophia.. uhm shes my age twelve" I ask nervously.
"oh ya I know that girl. She's hanging out with carl and Aj, how do you know her" he asks.
" well I just arrived on a plane yesterday greeted by freaking zombies, my dad died and i'm trying to find sophia my friend" I explain.
I start to run to the car that they're at. *BOOM* I see a building in Atlanta explode and then another. I hear screams and a woman screaming for a boy name carl to get in the car. I see government planes flying above heading towards the city probably carrying more bombs. A scream slips out my mouth.
"Noo! my mom might be there!" I hear felix scream.
"we have to get to the car!" I yell. I run towards the car but a boy I think is around my age that I assume is named carl comes out of the car and bumps into me and we fall to the ground.
"I'm sorry" the boy quickly says and runs away. Before I can reach the car it starts to move away off the highway.
"HEY! WAIT!" I scream but the car keeps driving away. I hear Felix scream after the car. I run off the highway making my way to the car slowly descending into the forest. My mind focuses on nothing else but the car. why won't they stop! My foot catches on a tree root and I fall.
"oh shit" I scream in panic as my face hits the ground.
