The Apocalypse

3

I woke up with a start. I groaned because I was aching all over.

Might as well go get some breakfast, I thought.

As I went down, I saw the dude from yesterday.

"Bro, are you ok?" I asked.

"I've been better," he said, "Thanks for saving me yesterday. My names Brady. What's yours?"

"Ian. And no problem."

"Looks like you didn't get turned into a zombie."

"Yup."

We went to the canteen in silence. I grabbed a bowl and some coco pops and Brady got some weetabix. We went and sat down with the rest of our squad mates.

"We'll be taking the day off." Said the Raider group leader.

"Us too," Alex said, "I think we need a break from zombies for a day or two."

We all muttered our agreement. After breakfast I went over to the running track with Brady.I just started doing laps. After 200 laps, I decided to go to the gym. I lifted weights for a good 3 hours cause I had nothing else to do. Then I went onto the treadmill and put it as fast as it would go and ran that for another good 3 hours. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 12:00. Huh. That went quickly. I went into the canteen to get lunch then I went to go get a shower. As i came out of the shower, 2 girls came up to me and asked, "Could you go get us some chocolate in your next raid?"

"I'm a Forager, not a Taker."

"Oh." They said, disappointing.

Then one of them brightened. "Could you get us strawberries?"

"Nope."

"Please?"

I just shook my head no and walked away. Man girls in this place were so weird. They kept coming up to me and Brady asking for things. So annoying. I went back to my room and continued reading about medical plants and what they do. Before I knew it, it was dinner time. I went down and got some and sat at a empty table. Brady joined me and we exchanged curt nods. Then, suddenly, a hug group of like 12 girls came over to our table and started talking to us. Me and Brady ignored them, but it was hard. Real hard. In the end, me and Brady moved table. All the girls looked hurt. Now me and Brady exchanged guilty looks and went back to the table. all the girls started talking at once.

"We like to eat in peace. Like in quiet with a bit of conversation you know." I said.

"Oh sorry."Said all the girls at the same time and quieted down.

Me and Brady smiled at them. We ate in silence then I went up to bed. I lied down and turned the light out and fell asleep.

I woke up because of the fire alarm. As I ran out of my room, I smelt smoke and realized this was not a drill. I went into the hallway then heard screams and gunfire. Crap. Then I heard somebody scream, "ZOMBIES!!!" Oh no. Gunfire one place, zombies another. People were getting desperate.I ran over to a door which I knew was an alternative exit. I pushed it open and screamed, "Through hear!" and people instantly started sprinting into the room. I went with the flow and I heard screaming in the shower room. I ran in and saw a discarded katana. I ran for it, picked it up and sliced the head off of a zombie that was coming into the room. I looked for the source of the screaming and went into the main shower area where I saw a zombie eating someone in the corner of the room. I cut the zombies head off and then cut the victims head off too so they didn't turn into a zombie. Then I had a look at the zombie's head. My heart shattered. It was Brady.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, sobbing, "No, not Brady, anyone but Brady! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

I just couldn't move. Couldn't do anything but look at his served head. Then somebody pulled me out of my trance.

"We will mourn later. But right now, we need to kill some zombies."

I nodded and followed him out of the room. I wasn't scared of zombies anymore. Oh no. I was angry at them. Really angry. They had killed my best friend and only friend and now they where going to pay. I ran screaming out of the showers, running at anything that had red eyes. I see a zombie chasing somebody to my left I run for it and cut it's head off and cut 5 more heads off zombies. I was so pissed at them.Then I saw the zombie that everyone was running from. A runner. I ran screaming at it and passed a group of five running from it. It stopped for a few seconds when it saw me running at it. It looked surprised but then started running to meat me. At the least second before we met, I sidestepped and cut it's head off in one clean motion. I finally saw the last zombie, and cut it's head off. Finally, I collapsed onto a heap on the floor, sobbing because of all the people that had died. I just lay there sobbing for a good hour. Finally I got enough energy to walk to my room and stumbled to bed. I was asleep before i even touched my bed.
