My heart started racing even more when mom and dad turn their head backwards to face.
They didn't move at all from the place, just their head move backwards, this scene terrified her.
" Mom, dad....", I wanted to scream at loud, but my voice shrink when I saw their appearance.
I wanted to scream, tell them what's wrong with them and why are they in this situation. But I couldn't gather my courage or say anything.
Their appearance had change for worse. Bloodthirsty eyes which were turned red, blue veins on the whole face, as if they have lost control over themselves.
On top of that, the whole face along with their hands and clothes are stained with red colour, it was giving the impression of blood.
" Mom, dad! Please don't scare me, come back ", I plead, thinking that everything happening here is an act that I was being a fool.
But no, it was not true. A certain part of my heart is telling me, my guts are telling, run...run Amelie run.
As they looked at me, a scary smile appeared on their face, they were the same parents but not anymore.
When they smile, a big crazy and scary smile, their teeth appeared...
I covered my mouth, gasping for air to get in, it was a biggest shock of the day to me.
" Oh no! Are they my parents? Am I dreaming? Is this an act? If is it, please stop it ".
It hurt me to see them in this state. Right now, I couldn't process what's going on with me.
My parents, they might be my parents but the now them...no, they were not. Just physically they were my parents, mentally...I couldn't bring myself to say this.
" It's okay...it's okay ", Right now I am convincing myself.
I am not okay, it hurts like hell to see my mamma and papa in this condition. But they were no longer my parents, they have turned into something else.
The blood on the floor is telling everything and the person laying dead on the ground, she know that person too.
It was their maid, and right now, she had become my parent's dinner and maybe their lunch.
Who knows for how long they were drinking her blood.
" As much as I know, zombies don't eat flesh or do they? ".
It was not the time to think about all this, now... I needed to think about how to get out from this situation.
The people, who were my parents, they were looking at me. Of course, I can see they treasure me, as a food.
Their face telling me everything, how much they long for me and how much they want to devour me.
" Calm down! Calm down Emilie. Let's think of a idea ".
My parents, they have turned into damn zombies, what should I do now?
Am I scared right now? Yes, of course I am scared, I am wilo literally shit in my pants if they start to walk towards me. But right now is not the time to think about all this, my guts are telling me to run.
But before me, they are my mamma and papa, my dearest family, the person who have treated me like a treasure.
I only got a short moment to think. Because them soon, they growl and started to walk towards them. With every step, their speed was increasing.
With their tongue out, they look disgusting, the stench of blood was unbearable in the room, literally making my nose to go numb.
The heart, that just started to calm down, start to race once again. They are coming towards me in full speed and If I am to get in their clutch, they is no future for me.
I start to look around my surroundings, to look for something that can help in this situation.
" Baseball bat? ".
I saw the baseball bat on the side and I hurry up, before they can catch me, I grabbed the bat and then started moving it around me, my feet going backwards as my whole attention towards my zombie parents.
" Mom, dad, please calm down. Your food is over there, please spare me and return back. I swear, no... I promise... I promise that I will not disturb you, please stop walking further ".
I am pleading before them but it hold no value at all. Cause they could do was laugh like zombies and only sniff her smell.
" Grrrrrrrr! ".
" Grrrrrrrr ".
The voice they were making, it's something I don't want to hear.
Baseball in my hand while I am using it against them, I reached stairs finally.
I looked backwards and then them. After that, I started running down without any care in the world.
Of course, they are following me. But all I knew was, I need to run for my life. If I stop here, I won't be able to see the sun.
As I reached down, I took my suitcase and bag and then start to run towards the door.
Mom Camille and papa Louis, both chasing after me. I never felt this scared in my whole life before.
I reach the door but Mom Camille catch up to me, I was careless and she grabbed me by the arm.
I was petrified ag this moment and turn back to look at her.
" Grrrrrr ".
She bite me on the arm, in attempt to suck my blood, I didn't care for anything and give her beating with the baseball bat in my hand.
" Ahhhh ", I scream in pain, my reaction was rather dull and slow.
Fortunately, I am able to get away from her, I care for nothing and open the door. I slammed outside and then close the door.
Of course, I am safe by now. I took a sigh of relief and look back at the door.
Mom bite me hard on the arm, her teeth have engrave and the cloth around that area tattered, her teeth were really sharp and in the point.
" She bite me...she bite me ", I start to rub the marks out of my arm but it was impossible.
I fall into desparation, and scout down. I took the whole situation calmly till now but now my limits broke.
Tears start to rolled down from my eyes, what should I do now?
" Hngg! Mom, dad, why did you...why do you have to turn into those beast. I thought, zombies only existed in novels and movies, so why do you? ".
Now I am shocked and petrified. All the emotions, which failed to come out ealiers, they were coming about now and I don't know what to do next.
" How can you do this to me. You promise me, when I turn eighteen, you will give me a big surprise. But why...why do you have to turn into those dirty monsters? Why mom why? ".
I want to deny the fact that they are not zombies and normal human beings, but I can't pretend anymore.
I stay like that on the ground for the next half an hour, I cried a lot in that moment.
After half an hour, I decides to return back to school.
I wipe my tears, take out an extra jacket from suitcase and wear it.
" I am bitten by zombie mom. I will turn into one soon, I have seen in the movies, the effect will take effect in twelve hours. What should I do? ".
I am in dilemma but I have no other choice. If I open the door, my infected mom and dad will come out and it's not a good idea.
After covering my arm injury, I hang the bag around my shoulder, took the bag and walk away.
I looked at the house once again before leaving, It was not last goodbye but it felt like one.
I miss them but now...even they are but inside to welcome me.
" Wait for me, If I survived or become like you, I will return back. I will them discard you both along with me. I will delet our existence from this world ", I promised to myself as I head down.
The tears still rolling down but I control myself.
I hailed a taxi, the whole way, I keep thinking about them. The memories of us three keep circling in my mind, I was depressed but need to keep up with this.
Today, I turned eighteen. The day, which should have been the most happiest day of my life, turned into the saddest day of my life.
I lost my parents today, I saw them doing shady thing in that horrible disguise. How much I want them back but there was no chance I will have them back.
I returned back to school. As I was heading to my dormitory, I bump into someone.
" I am sorry, I wasn't looking around and bump into you ".
I didn't see who's the person I bump into but I apologise immediately but when I tilt my head upwards, I was slightly shocked.
" Andrien ", I mumbled.
Seeing that the person in front of me is Andrien, I stepped back immediately.
" Are you blind of something? Can't you look around and see your surrounding? Waste so much of my time ".
