Surviving
1009 Words
The scene that laid before me scared me to death. The door was in the middle of the yard tore to pieces. There were two windows broken out, one of witch had blood on it. I quickly grabbed my AR an my pistol and quietly made my way into the house as fast as I could. Inside I immediately saw a Brute laying on the ground with what appeared to be a knife in its head. Being cautious I slowly moved to it. Seeing it not move any I carefully rolled it over. I quickly backed up when I noticed it holding what looked like a female arm with a wedding band on it. Immediately I figured it was the friends mom’s arm. I quickly and quietly started to move threw the three bedroom home. There was nothing in the first bedroom. I turned the corner of second and had to quickly turn back out as I started to sweat holding my own vomit in, as I was trying to gain composure of myself the smell hit me an I lost it. The raw blood smell lofted in the air on top of my sweet an sour pork I ate I managed to control my emotions a bit. Knowing I needed to look back in the room to make sure my brother wasn’t in there I braced myself. I turned to look in an I saw the mom ripped to pieces, she was missing both of her arms one was MIA and the other was by the front door. One of her legs was barely attached and the second was god knows where as I finished looking around I herd a dragging noise coming from the third bedroom. I slowly opened the door to see a Brute walking twords the window holding what I assumed to be the mom’s missing leg. I turned back out of the room an screwed on my silencer and took aim. Pzzt pzzt! Two rounds to the back of the head and it started to fall forward into the window. Crash! It fell threw making more noise then I was hoping to make. Thud, Thud, Thud! I herd i noise above my head of some scudding in the attic. “f**k are they above me to” I wondered to my self I carefully wondered around the house looking for the attic entrance and I found the dad barley alive. He was missing his jaw and his arm was twisted around his back, his shoulder was touching the back of his head with a chunk of flesh missing. He looked at me with his one eye and looked up twice, there I noticed the way to the attic then he stared at my pistol and let out some tears. So I grabbed a pillow off the bed knowing what he wanted an shot the pillow twice hitting him in the head both times. I moved a chair over an lifted myself to the attic there I moved the lid and peaked my head up. The only thing I saw was the logo of a shoe hitting me square in the face. Bam! I hit the ground discharging my pistol one more time in the poor dad. I look up holding my nose an see two heads looking down. “Tom”! I herd my brother yell I quickly shush him and point out the door. I quietly go take a look and don’t see anything. I carefully help the two boys down. Aaron asks me if I had seen his mom and dad. I had to tell him the heart breaking truth minus the details of how they looked and what transpired. He broke down crying into a stuffed animal I gave him. Trying to give him a moment of grief he asked if he could say one last goodbye, so I told him he could but couldn’t see them. I covered the mom like I did the dad and moved them together. He cried out his goodbyes to his departed family as he asked if I have seen his sister. “I don’t believe I have, what did she look like”? He began to explain that she started to turn grey after getting a deep gash on her right arm from the lady at the front door. I quickly retreated in thought, an immediately it dawned on me it was the Brute holding the moms leg that was his sister. I didn’t know what to tell the poor little guy, so I broke it to him the best I could. He asked if he could see her to, but I had to quickly deny that request sadly. I tried to move them to the pathfinder as fast as I could while grabbing some canned foods in a duffel bag. I loading everything up when I felt that chill roll down my spine again. I looked around , but I didn’t see anything and wasn’t going to stick around to find out where it was. I started the truck and pulled off when I herd the whooping noise again. Straight ahead of me I saw two brutes heading my direction. I tossed the AR to my brother an grabbed my rifle. Threw the scope I saw the bald one I decided to name Soul Looker it smiled at me and turned around. I quickly turned around to see one more Brute running twords is from behind. I quickly snatched the pistol up with my good hand and fired at the one from behind as my brother unloaded the banana clip in the AR at the two in front I managed to shot the one from behind as it smacked into the back of the truck breaking the back glass. Brandon killed one in front, so I finished unloading my extended clip into the other ones head. I picked up the rifle to find Soul Looker but it was gone. I jumped into the truck again and took off leaving that area as fast as possible to get back home.
