Chapter 1 - The Spread

News in the background:" Breaking news, an outbreak of an unknown disease spread throughout local woods affecting all animals within the area, mainly deer. The disease cause animals to have dangerous behavior and to make their appearance seem like Pet Sematary in reality".

" That ain't nothing but the government trying to control the population'', said Ace."Why do you always think they're trying to control the population? It can't just be that they're trying to create something different... or maybe just messing with nature. Control the population? You said the same thing coming out of jail", said Titus.

I honestly can't do anything by myself around here without these geniuses arguing over a topic. If you ask me, they should have gone to school for debate.

" Don't y'all want to go pick up girls at the mall or something, y'all real-life annoying," I said.

Bzz Bzz Bzz, three messages in a row? Usually, my phone is exceptionally dry, but I'll take the timing.

News: "More breaking news, the government has released a vaccine for preventing the unknown infection from spreading. This shot will be critical for those starting school next month or working at the following listed below. You will not be able to attend work or school without this medication".

"Three and a half seconds, like I said government population control, how it's unknown, but you got a cure," said Ace. "I know one thing, the school won't be seeing me on the first week besides what other way is the best entry than missing your first week," I said. " Showing up the next week with a truancy letter, Haha," Titus replied.

Three days had passed, and thousands still stood at hospitals in line for the vaccine. Little did anyone know the people, the government, and the cities' problems weren't done piling.

Rapidly mumbling, " This year will be different, this year will be different, this year will be different, a different year this will be, WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR."

So this week, the week I was supposed to miss, was flying by, for it was already the fourth day of school.

" Aye, I see Monica in the building looking even finer than she was last year ...talking bout body is blessed," said Jamie. " Thank you," said Monica. " Baaabbbyyy, I'm hot just like an oven... What you know about that Marvin Gaye girl," said Jamie as Monica blushed." Say all the gang not even here, shake my head slaking, but where the boy with the telescope glasses from last year and his Little friend," said Jamie. " You talking about Dash, oh he done switched up and sh*t he got contacts, and sh*t put a little muscle on but I haven't seen his friend," said Monica.

Without anyone noticing the person hiding in the bushes, a voice began mumbling, quietly stalking the other students. " Not this year... I... I'm in charge, yes follow my instructions MY PRINCIPALES NOBODY ELSE'S... MY TURN TO BE THE BULLY, yes," the mysterious person says with an evil laugh.

Later that day, word spread around on social media that there had been a shooting at the high school, so I quickly ran to check the news calling everyone to the living room.

News: "Breaking news, there has been a mass shooting at the local high school. Gun shoots just ceased, at this time police has not moved in for we don't know how many are alive and if there are any captives at this time". "Help Hellppp," said the shooter. " Wait, one-minute folks, it... it seems the shooter has run out asking for help", said the Newswoman." Freeze put the gun on the ground, get on your knees, and put your hands up any more steps, and we will fire", said the police! " Ok, ok, I'm getting down, but you don't understand, help, I killed them... I killed everyone in that school building, a couple of minutes later they all started to get back up, we don't have time, run... I said run damn it", said the shooter!

" Ok, it appears the shooter is on some drugs, folks. I'm guessing he's going to use that to plead insanity, but we did get that confession live... wait a min, it appears hostages are walking out, people; it was a fluke. Everyone is safe... wait, what's going on," said the news women.

The people started to come out of the building in groups. The shooter quickly grabbed his gun and began to fire away at the people coming out "pop pop pop," causing the police to shoot away at the shooter " pop pop pop." A horror scene all by itself, if that wasn't good enough, the people who came from the building started to rush running to the police in groups at a time. Some stopped and started biting the shooter.

"You are all safe, but we need you to stop running and calm down. We need information. Is there any other shooter," said the policeman.

His loud voice was like a fresh sweet scent to a pack of lions; they all rushed his way. " Stop freeze ... freeze... I said get down motherf*cker."

By the time he could finish reloading, death grabbed him by the hand. One bit his index finger, another on his shoulder, teeth were sawing through his skin. Screaming and screaming, everyone around ran in a panic ahhhhhh *gunshots* pop pop pop pop * static on tv*.

No one in the house moved. The only sounds were the static on the television and the heavy breathing caused by disarray and uncertainty. Outside was a different story; only minutes passed, and society had already broken. Parents who had children at the school went on a rampage. Mayhem ran the streets, the families evacuated, and gangs ran throughout the neighborhood, destroying everything in their path.

"Lock the doors and board the windows, move... move to grab the guns", I said. Everyone started to scramble each person with a task. " Here are the guns bro," Titus said. "Bro, where the hell is the bullets," I asked! " We .... we shot them all on fourth of July", Titus said hesitantly. * Sigh* " Bro, who is we, and this is why I say stop touching my sh*t bro, how you gone shot all the bullets but don't have money to replace them," I retorted! " It was Ace and me." " No, don't say my name. Keep my name out your mouth," said Ace.

Knock, knock knock... "Don't say nothing. Let them pass," I said. A voice spoke calmly from the other side of the door, " you do know I can hear you arguing right... pathetic?!

Kssshhhhk, Kssshhhhk rocks were being thrown at all the windows in the house, and people started to come in. " Bonus, I didn't think it was three people in here, so none of you guys heard us knock politely? I should have just kicked the damn door", the woman said with a creepy smile.

I wasn't about to let anyone come into my home, something I work so hard to achieve weapons or no weapons they have to leave!

" Oh yeah, I have been itching to fight, y'all met the wrong brothers, we ain't never scared," Titus said.

Thirty minutes later, we're all in the back of a van going to God knows where.

" Y'all talked all that hot sh*t and got y'all ass whooped," I said! Bro, that was Ace, he punching me n sh*t", said Titus. " My bad, I lost one of my contacts, and you were still getting beat up. Don't accuse me! I done told you to stop saying my name", Ace said." Both of you know I just got these Nike slides and socks plus ... plus you know how hard it is to fight in slides", Titus said.

The only thing we can do now is to wait and be ready for anything that comes. The reality is we might just die here, and even if we do survive, what's to come? What is really left out there, but the most critical question is what the hell is going on. In the midst of thinking, the car came to a stop, and the sound of footsteps came closer. With the van doors opening, my heart began pounding Lub dub... Lub dub.

" Say real talk though on the gang I bet you want to take off this mask and untie me though y'all don't want to see me one on one," said Titus. It was silent for a few seconds, which is what made the next sound confirm our death..."Give them the shot."
