Danger

By the time we were home, the other people had arrived. They were in the living room, huddled around. Once they saw us, they stood up. "Hi, pleasure to meet you, My name's Joey." The tall, lean man with blue eyes said as he extended out his hands for us to shake. "Nice to meet you, The name's Nikka and this is Ezekiel." I introduced us as we took turns shaking his hand. "Aime, Amilia, come here." He said.

"This is Nikka, and Ezekiel, what do we say to people we just met?" He said to the girls. They were twin girls, and they looked like they were around 6 years old. "Hi pretty lady! My name is Amilia, or Ami, And this is Aime, she's a bit shy." She said, I smiled they were so cute with their cheeky smile.

"Hello kids, would you like to eat pizza with us?" Once i said that, their eyes glistened with happiness, "Can we?! Can we dad?!" Ami excitedly said while jumping around her dad, i only nodded when he sent me a questioning look. "There's lots of food, but be careful, Ezekiel might eat your share!" I teased as i set down the two box of large pizzas down, the smell was so good, invigorating even for my hungry stomach.

"Hey!" Ezekiel playfully shouted as he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. We only chuckled, and once everyone was sat down, we wolfed down the food. We chatter around as we ate, getting to know each other more.

=================================

Its been weeks since that happened, 4 weeks exactly. Even when so much time has passed, information was withheld, we didnt even get the orientation they had said they will do. The people grew more worried, specially now that they were building a wall to keep outsiders out. "You cant keep us here forever!" One of the people gathered in the outside of Headquarters screamed as the workers tried to calm down the group. So much for a walk, i turn my body away from the commotion, walking home.

"How was your walk?" One of them greeted me with once i got inside the house. "Same old, same old." People rioting outside the Headquarters was now normal considering it happened alot. "Why's everybody so quiet?" I asked as i noticed they were all huddled around the living room sofa, staring at the cellphones at the table. They all looked worried, but the twins were unbothered.

"Communications have been out for 30 minutes now. And all the TV shows is this." Evan said as he opened the TV, there was only static and an emergency  message issuing us to stay and lock in our homes. Dread washed over me as i tried to open apps on my phone and it led to no avail. "What's going on?" I mumbled to myself.

"Its better if we stayed put, maybe it'll come back up in a little while." Joey said as he tried to assure us. But we knew, it wont just take a little while. But we waited.

And waited, and waited until 5 hours had passed and it was still the same. It was dawn now, almost time for us to start cooking dinner. I sighed as i stood up, leaving the twins in their room with Alaina. Joey had started preparing for dinner while Evan and Kiel sat down in the living room sofa in silence. "A penny for your thoughts?" I said at the two of them. "Just, Just thinking about the situation."

I snorted lightly, "you guys sat in silence for five hours?" Ezekiel rolls his eyes, "Yea, its just really worrying." Evan explained. "Well thats true, but its no use thinking too hard." I said softly, i understood what their point was. "Well, what do you think our situation is?" I asked.

They only shook their head, a sign they didnt come up with any solution. Suddenly a commotion arose, loud gunshots were heard. Screams and snarls were heard, screams that could hunt you as you sleep. Alaina and the twins immediately went of the room, startled by the noise. Joey looked out through the window, i could see people running away in a blur. "We need to get out of here now!" Joey shouted, snapping us out of daydreaming as we immediately shuffled around.

I took the our bags, thank god i didnt put it out as i thought it was only temporary. I went to the living room dumping the duffel bags and the rolling bag. I made my way to the twins room, helping Alaina put the clothes inside the bag. Once done, i also dumped it on the living room. Most of our things were in the living room by now. Joey and Evan clearing out the kitchen and the bathroom. I looked at the twins, they were on the verge of crying and they were shaking badly. I took Aime, holding her in my arms swaying side to side trying to calm her down.

"Does everyone have their things now?" Joey asked and we all nodded. I set down Aime, slinging my duffel bag and the others followed suit. I took Aime in my arms again, ready for whatever is outside. I inhaled deeply, looking at Joey as a sign that we were ready. "Car keys?" Joey asked to which Evan gave his car keys. Suddenly, someone knocked loudly, screaming "HELP ME!"

My eyes widen its Mrs. Jones! "Thats Mrs. Jones!" I exclaimed. "Make way before i open the door." Joey said, standing defensively infront of the door. He opened the door slowly, Mrs. Jones staggered. Once she came to view, it was a gorey sight, enough to make us vomit. Her arms and legs were bleeding out, as if someone took a chunk of meat. I gasped, covering Aime's eyes from the horried sight. "Go now!" Joey shouted once again, startling us. I shuffled away out the door, opening the car door and setting the girls down, putting the seatbelts on and shutting the door as i opened the trunk to put my things. "You guys stay here okay? I'll come back. Dont open the door for anyone unless its us." I said.

The twins whimpered, obviously crying by now. I left the trunk open as i make my way inside the house again, taking multiple bags at once, Evan helping me in the process. Once we got everything inside, i clicked the button of the trunk, shutting it. I finally had the time to catch my breath, but it didnt last long. Once i noticed my surroundings, i grew more horrified. There were dead bodies, bodies that looked like someone mauled them. There was smoke and blood everywhere. I was startled when someone touched my shoulder.

I turned around and it hit me. My eyes widen in fear, it was a zombie! I was face to face with a fucking zombie!  Yes those zombies in the comics and books, the zombies that were fictional! Without thinking, i punched their jaw and kicking the body, specially the legs. I immediately run towards the house, and it was a mess. "Get away from her!"
