The Infected

Day 2 - Mom? -

The night shift was over by 8:30 am and we got down and got on our horses and galloped away to section C because that's where I live half the time…I live with my mom half time and live with my dad half time if you're wondering I’m only 13 running around to section C and then to section D all the time but today was my mom’s day so back to the story.

I got home and opened the creaky door and yelled “ MOM I’m home!” all I hear back is a little groan in the distance “Mom?” I said in a more firm voice…Nothing no response so I grabbed a hardcover book because that's the first thing I see for protection and I slowly walked past the old broken TV and I see that my mom was… “INFECTED” I yelled And hit he- The thing in the head that THING was NO LONGER MY MOTHER it was a infected beast that no matter what will try to eat me.

I called through the radio I had because I forgot to take it out of my pocket when I was doing practice and my night shift “code Black AND RED” I yelled into the radio then I said into the radio “section C apartment 107*” I slowly looked at the infected mother I used to have a non-Infected Mom but now she is Infected and It’s too late to call off backup…I took a quick sprint to the door and closed it when I ran out of the apartment waiting for the Government police from MSTA system and I heard the screaming of the Infected.

(Government Rule 188- Once someone is infected you may NOT call them by their name so you have to call them either infected or just say zombie or whatever you call them-)

The backup arrived 15 minutes after I called and they came full packed they thought that there was more infected like how weird is tha- I looked over and saw a that my mo- Infected was pregnant and when your infected and pregnant the baby is fine somehow but she was in labor because in little time the baby was fully grown for being born so they somehow got her to push or they killed her and did a sea section or something because they checked to see if the baby was okay then they just GIVE THE BABY TO ME AND GO!

(It’s a Baby Girl)

I was now holding my baby sister and after they checked if I was infected then they took me and my horse and baby sister to section D where my dad was so I could go to my dads house and stay for a little, they escorted me to my dads apartment -apartment 556* section D- was all the information they needed so they took me there we waited and waited for him to answer the door then I remembered that he was at work and they opened the door and one of the officers said to me in a whisper they said “I’m sorry about your mom” he said in a sad voice while still whispering and he broke one of the government rules so I either told the other officer or just accept his kindness and because im nice I said “Thank you” with a sad smile.

They gave me baby stuff to watch the baby and to feed the baby but raising a baby by yourself and pretending that My dad is not dead is pretty hard so I have help from grace and mialee, they are the best of friends you can ever have especially grace she is the best at helping the baby because she has like 3 siblings she is the older kid and she is 12 ( the babys her sibling were triplets).
