Everything fades to dark
Strange dream #1
"Hey, Chloe."
"What's up Max Is something the matter?"
"You ever get the feeling something bad is going to happen Chloe?"
"I mean bad things happen everyday Max there isn't really anything that could prevent something like fate changing."
"I know what you mean Chloe, I do… I just can't seem to shake this feeling that something awful is coming."
"Have no fear Max! That's what I'm here for no matter what I'll always be here to protect you forever while you are under my careful watch you will always be safe."
"Your such a nerd Chloe. Did you pull that line out of one of your mangas you're always reading?"
"That obvious huh Max? I'll have to try a more subtle approach next time."
The taller brunette said turning away from her friend.
"Chloe. Wanna hike up to the lighthouse and have one of our many adventures?"
"..."
"Hey, are you listening to me, Chloe?"
"..."
"What is wrong with you Chloe I'm asking you a question!"
Max yelled putting her hand on her shoulder to turn her around.
"Hrrrrrrwrrrwrr"
Her best friend turned around making all kinds of blood-curdling noises falling down on top of Max.
It was as if the skin on her face was peeling off and she had those Milky bloodshot eyes.
It was on top of her and had her in a tight squeeze Max, would not be going anywhere.
As it crawled her way up to her face it lunged at her throat trying to take a chunk out of it.
Darkness is coming…
End of Strange dream #1
Max's eyes shot wide open in her room sitting up as fast as possible holding onto her throat with her left hand trying to make sense of everything that just happened to break into a cold sweat.
"Must have been a bad dream... It felt so surreal almost like I really had my throat ripped out."
Taking notice of her alarm clock that was on the floor she noticed it was 11:14 am she was already three hours late for class.
Tired but grabbed her phone and realize she had 38 unread messages.
The brunette had 15 alone from Warren and 3 from Kate. Some from various others from other Blackwell students as well.
"Max! Oh god' help us please it's horrible! It's as Logan feared they really are roaming around! You have to find somewhere safe to go! The school has been completely overrun. Get out of there as soon as possible!"
Growing into a cold sweat she knew that strange dream of hers was no ordinary dream something strange was getting ready to begin.
She quickly ran over to the window in her room and looked outside of it.
There was living dead roaming all around outside some were even familiar faces she has seen around in various parts of the school.
"Oh my god this can't be happening! Shit shit shit what are you going to do Max! Quick think of something before they find their way inside."
Going to her door and trying to open it she noticed it was jammed, she was stuck inside with no way of getting out.
She was able to get it cracked open and realized a couch was blocking it.
"Something is odd about this could this have been someone else doing?"
She scanned all her messages and realized she had 1 message from Victoria.
"I hope you rot in there and die bitch. Let's see you try and escape with that couch blocking your room Max! I told you that I would get my revenge for what you did to me yesterday."
"This is so not the time for you bullshit Victoria!"
Max yelled to herself she had to think of something and fast.
The worried brunette scanned her room all over to see if she could find something that could help her out in this dire time of need.
"I know! What if I went through my window and shimmied my way down towards the bottom using the window seals?"
She didn't know what else to do, she figured she would just go all out.
If she couldn't do it she would just die by starving to death inside her own dorm room.
She gathers a few things from her room and stuffed them into her messenger bag she grabbed a picture of her best friend and herself that they took together back when they were 14 if she couldn't find her friend at least she would have a picture always to remember her by…
Also grabbed some energy bars, half-eaten box of cookies, and her toothbrush and a very small blanket.
If she managed to make it out alive she would need to find a secure place to lay low.
Max's room was on the second floor so she would have to hang on one of the ledges and drop onto the one below before getting to ground level.
She figured it would be best if she dropped her bag gently and as quietly as she could into one of the bushes so the roaming Zombies would not hear it.
"It's all or nothing Max it's time to see if all those long gaming sessions of Assassin's creed paid off."
She said to herself grabbing onto the edge of her dorm.
Her hand instantly slipped and sent her plummeting onto one of the bushes.
Three zombies took notice of the sound of the twigs snapping and loud thud noise they were making their way quickly towards Max.
The frail brunette began shaking it off to realize she was way too clumsy to even think about doing something like this while rubbing her bum.
As the Zombies were approaching she thought that surely this was her untimely end she wasn't going to be able to get out of this.
She thought to herself closing her eyes really hard.
"AHHHH SOMEONE HELP! AAAAAAAAAA! AHHHH!"
A school student started yelling at the top of his lungs as he was being grabbed and chewed on as if he was a dog's chew toy!
The three Zombies that were approaching the scared brunette took notice of all the screaming and joined the others in their human feast.
The scared helpless brunette held her hands over her mouth as she watched helplessly as one of her schoolmates was tore to pieces five feet from her.
She quickly got to her feet and grabbed her bag a few bushes down and quickly ran from the dorms as fast as humanly possible.
Quickly making it out to the street she saw cars just roaring down the streets she tried to hitch a ride to the neighborhood's direction but everyone was in a grave panic!
A car swerved into the gym section of the schools building having the front of the car catch flame!
"Shit it's Urban chaos out here right now! I'll have to try and make it towards the lighthouse on my own."
It was a place her and Chloe would always go to when they wanted to get away from everything.
"I know a shortcut I can use cutting through the woods to get there more quickly."
The Brunette said taking off in a light jog down the sidewalk.
"The monsters don't seem to be out in the open. I best hurry and cut into the woods with all these rampant drivers coming down the street."
As she was cutting into the woods climbing over an old wooden fence a rusted pickup truck came roaring down the street.
The driver noticed a familiar brunette but couldn't get her attention in time even honking their horn like a mad person.
Scarred but determined the frail brunette continued her journey towards the lighthouse not trying to be sidetracked and staying on edge for anything that may jump out after her.
The driver of the truck was too late but think they knew where Max was heading.
"Damn I'll have to head around through the back roads and go through the neighborhood to try and catch up to her."
A spunky girl said with Ultra Blue hair said to herself before putting her pickup truck back in gear.
As Max, was making her way towards the lighthouse she noticed that there was a mass of dead bodies scattered all over on the ground.
These ones weren't moving like the rest of the undead, parts of their heads had been smashed in previously it seems.
Icy blue eyes scanning the terrain before herself taking in all of the sights before her making a small mental note of the scenery as this could prove useful to her later on.
"It really is like some type of bad zombies movie out here."
The quiet brunette said to herself quietly so looming figures wouldn't come after her.
Upon reaching her halfway point she arrived at a crossroad.
The path on the left would send her on into the neighborhood where she spent her life together with her very best friend.
Nothing but worries were be folding scarred brunette at the thought of her best friend ending up like all the parished undead she walked by previously…
Or even worse, to have become one of the very undead roaming about.
"I have to come find you, Chloe, I know I should be finding shelter and someplace safe to crash for the night but I have to know if you are okay… I'm coming to find you no matter the cause."
The pale brunette said to herself caught in a trance while walking blindly towards her old neighborhood.
Not paying attention to her surroundings she managed to trip over some broken down wood on the ground plummeting to the ground really hard twisting her ankle in the process.
Trying to quickly gather herself she began to hear low roars and snarling in the woods from almost all directions.
"Shit shit shit! Clumsy fucking Max at her best. Okay, calm yourself think we just keep going straight and we can make it."
Getting her path cut by a zombie that was at the front end of the woods pushing her onto the ground.
The weakened brunette struggling with all kinds of emotions all at one time it seemed as if time slowed down trying to hold back the undead that is trying to sink his teeth deep into her flesh…
One bite and she knew it was all going to be over…
She couldn't help but think of her dream from earlier than an even worse fear struck she wasn't even going to be able to make it to her friend's house.
She was going to end up dead on some back-end roadside as one of the very undead freaks that were going to rip her apart like that guy earlier from the school.
As the zombie was inching closer towards her neck head beams from a car appeared from down the roadside from the neighborhood's direction.
A door opening quickly as someone ran over towards the dire brunette in a hurry.
Upon reaching them the person pulled a black revolver with a brown wooden handle out from behind them executing the zombie with a fatal dome shot right in between the eyes with blood and chunks flying everywhere some even landing onto the shocked brunette.
Icy blue eyes scanning the area quickly to try and gather herself disoriented she was brought to her feet meeting face to face with a woman with Ultra blue colored hair and a navy blue beanie.
"Max! Are you okay did he bite you? Can you still walk, we need to go now! HURRY!"
"Chloe?!"
"Yes, it's me now hurry! We have to go now shit is really hitting the fan right now!
The spunky blue-haired gal said while pulling the brunette by the arm forcing her into the rusted up truck as more of the undead were making their way closer.
She pulled the trigger on a few more as she was getting herself into the truck the brunette flinching to every shot that was fired.
Once inside the tattooed gal put that old rusted up bucket into gear once more peeling out away from the neighborhood from where she came.
Shocked but still alive the brunette couldn't believe what was happening.
It was like a living world of nightmares...
Before being brought out of her trance by something hitting her face.
"Ow! What the shit. For reals Chloe, what was that for?"
"Yikes! Calm down mad Max you can't see what I see right now. You should use that to clean yourself a bit."
The spunky blue-haired gal said to her old friend from years ago.
"After all these years I see you are still the same hopeless accident prone nerd I grew up with…"
The tattooed gal said to the quiet brunette who was wiping her face with a blue cloth smirking slightly.
"I guess some things never truly change huh no matter how much you want them too huh Chloe?"
The freckled brunette said to her old friend who sat next to her.
"Max Max Max… Oh, you intuitive little nerd of a friend that's where you're wrong you have the power to change anything you want about yourself in this day and age now. I bet at first you didn't even recognize me huh?"
"Well not really at first while still being in a daze and all… But one thing for sure I was able to quickly come to my senses because of how you acted. That's what made me realize it was you."
As the tattooed gal drove having a nice conversation and catching up with her old friend she ran over some clutter in the road causing the truck to bounce up a bit once hitting the ground the impact made the freckled brunette remember the pain that was in her foot all too great.
"Holy cow Chloe where did you learn to drive! That hurt really bad."
"My bad dude sorry about that. That really was a nasty spill you had with that undead prick back there huh? We need to get you off your feet for the night and get somewhere safe for the time being."
"Chloe, how are you so calm right now? It's like you already know what all is going on?"
"Listen closely. Alright so actually I've already been up and about battling these things since last night. I was out getting some party favors out by the old burned down mil when it all hit at first I didn't know what to think. One of them jump out at me and it was just nuts..."
The tatted gal said rubbing the back of her neck
"But it was good I had this little guy with me to protect me when it all went down."
The spunky girl said taking out her black revolver with the wooden handle once more holding it up for max to get a clear look.
"I saw you shoot that guy in the face Chloe, his face blew apart in ways I never thought imaginable."
"It was better him then you Max… I wasn't going to let anything happen to you after I realized it was you I seen running off down the street like some mad woman."
The tattooed gal said nudging the freckled brunette with her elbow.
"Where are we going, Chloe? I noticed we passed the lighthouse awhile back."
"We are going to my hidden impenetrable we can get you off your feet and rest up for work we have tomorrow."
"Going on another one of Max's and Chloe's epic adventures?"
"Err ya sista something like that. I'll tell you more about it once we get to safety."
The tattooed gal said chuckling awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck.
The freckled brunette became quiet and stared out the window noticing that the Overlook park that William, Chloe's father would often take them both too as kids had now burned down to the ground with nothing but dead trees left behind in their wake.
The tatted gal then pulled into awful looking junkyard pulling up to a small shack that was there with an old looking rug as a substitute for a door it seems from outside the car.
"Grab your bag Max, we are here let's get inside. We should be safe here for the night hey if we die at least we'll be sleep when it happens."
The spunky blue hair girl said gently to her, hurt friend beside her grabbing various things from inside the glovebox of her rust bucket getting out and locking her door before her friend.
As the hurt brunette was trying to get out she put too much pressure on her hurt foot and started falling before getting caught by her friend.
Her Icy light blue orbs met her friend's sky blue ones blushing slightly.
The tatted gal noticed and took it as an opportunity to poke fun
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you have feelings for me."
The shy brunette was caught off guard by her friend's dumb remark being brought back to earth.
"Yeah right, ass if… You just caught me off guard as all. I accidentally mistook you for a tall and Sendler man as all. Yeah, this it."
The brunette said Making a smart remark about her friend's guyish and escaping her punk friends grasp walking towards some ominous looking shack.
"Well, yea. You could have said you're welcome or something! You're gonna pay for that one jerk…"
The blue hair gal said out loud muttering the end of her sentence quietly while locking the second door to the rust bucket.
Walking over to the rug lifting it to reveal a door behind it with locks.
Once inside it was just a dark room filled with various random variables and random other resources around the room
"Welcome to my humble abode this shit pit will have to do for the night but we'll be safe here."
The tatted gal said closing and locking the door from behind
One inside with the door shut every faded to dark...
