The Apocalypse

7

I woke up with a throbbing head.

"Uggh." I moaned

Suddenly I felt a blow to my stomach that knocked the breath out of me. I tried to move my hands to retaliate but they were held down. I tried to do the same thing with my legs, but they were also tied down. 

"Show your self b***h," I said into the darkness.

Suddenly a bright light shown in my eyes and I was temporarily blinded. It took me a few minutes to get used to the brightness and when I finally opened my eyes I saw Audrey, Chesper, Alex and the rest of the group. I see Alex's arm coming at me at full speed and felt the force of it on my stomach. I let out a loud oomph as him fist made contact with my stomach. After what felt like an eternity and lots of blood Audrey tod Alex "That's enough." When he didn't stop, she got out her g*n and said "I said that's enough,"  The whole time holding her g*n to his head. 

"Ok, Ok no need to get snappy." He said.

"Step away."

He stepped away from me with his hands up. Audrey now had her g*n pointed straight at his face.

"You wouldn't shoot me." He sneered.

"You ain't gonna do noth- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed. There was a hole in his thigh where Audrey had shot him.

"You were saying?" She asked him. He was to busy screaming to answer. Chesper went over to him and said, "Really Mom? Really?"

Audrey looked shocked.

"He could've killed Ian." 

"You could've killed Alex!" Chesper shouted at her mom.

Audrey looked like she wanted to kill Chesper. Instead, she just turned around and walked away. I looked at Chepser and then Alex. The way they were looking at each other made everything clear. 'Chesper and Alex are a couple!' 

"Chesper, can we talk? In private?" 

She looked unsure of herself but when Alex nodded, she agreed to talk.

"Are you and Alex a couple?" I asked.

She looked shocked and scared as she said, "How did you know?"

"Really? The way you two look at each other gives it away. And also the way you didn't care when Alex was beating the life out of me."

She walked away looking embarrassed. I shook my head and smiled to myself.

 "Ok everyone," When nobody looked my way, I shouted, "PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME!" That finally got people to look at me, "We need to go. If we stay here, we'll all die."

People were nodding and agreeing with me.

"But were will we go?" Asked a girl who I'd seen around but never talked to.

"What's your name?"

"Alisa"

"Ok, Alisa. You know the town not far from here?" She nodded, "That's where we're going." 

Everybody started to pack their things to get ready. Alisa walked over to me after she saw me staring at her.

"What are you looking at?" She asked angrily.

"Oh.. umm. I-I was j-ju-just l-lo-looking a-a-at y-you p-p-pack." I managed to stammer. I couldn't talk because she was so beautiful. 

"I'll just go and pack now," I said as I quickly walked away as she smiled to herself.

"What was that about?" Cyril asked.

"She came over to ask why I was looking at her."

"Mhm." 

I angrily glared at him and he backed off. We packed all of our stuff and went outside to see if there were any zombies. There weren't any, which I and Cyril were happy for. 

"All clear people!" I shouted, "Let's move!"

People started moving from where they were sitting from to get ready to go. When I got to the first step, my foot was swallowed into some zombie's brains making a squelch kind of noise. I almost puked because of the smell and the sight of dead people everywhere. Some people were puking. I started walking towards the gate on my own.

"Stay here people. I'll go scout out."

When I got to the gate, I was jumped by a zombie. I hit it's brains out, but not before it bit me. I looked down at my arm and I hid my wound. Selfish I know, but I might be immune who knows? If I didn't turn the next hour, I would be fine. I hoped. I went back to the group after looking around and said "The coast's clear. Had to take care of an infected but it's ok."

"An infected? What's that?" Alisa asked

"It's a zombie, just a different name. Duh." I replied.

She looked angrily at me then looked away when I met her gaze. 

"Where are we going people?" I asked.

"Why not use our cars and camping gear and go into the woods and camp? We could use our cars to cover all of our sides." Alisa said.

"Not a bad idea. Nice job Alisa." She beamed at me, all anger at me gone from her. 

"Aight people lets move!" I shouted.

People instantly sprang into action, getting all of our supplies into the trucks. A few minutes later, we finally got all the stuff packed up and we set up. It took about 2 hours to get to the place we wanted to get to and we started to set up camp. A few hours later we were done and the sun had already set. 

"Let's get some shut-eye people," I said.

Nobody argued and they all went to sleep. Nobody saw a black shape walk away from the camp and out to the world beyond the safety of the cars.
