"What's going on?"
Cherry looked up to see Liam coming down the stairs. She answered Liam question.
"Lena was attacked by Darius."
The other servant started to explain the situation. Liam could see that a window was shattered and Lena's arm was bleeding.
"I'm sorry sir! Darius just woke me up and started to attack me and I pushed him out the window!"
Liam looked out the window. Darius's skin was white and bloody. Liam started thinking.
"So the Unalive are already attacking."
"It's alright it was just self defense."
Oliver butted in.
"It's alright?! She just committed murder on your property! It's not going to be safe for the company!"
Paige was arguing now as well.
"Oliver's right! She's committed murder and should be fired! The media won't agree to this!"
"And what will they agree to Paige? That we should've just let her die? What will the media do? He was attacking her. Why don't you look out the window and see what it is."
Paige did what Liam said. She looked out the window to see the zombie-like figure. A chill went down her spine.
"It's...still moving!"
REBIRTHED AGAIN
Leo came downstairs to see what had been happening.
"Why is the old hag being so loud?"
"Old hag?! I'm your mother, you disrespectful brat!"
"Shut up. You'll call the other UnAlive."
Liam held Paige's mouth shut. They heard the UnAlive coming down the hallway.
"Papa, what's going on? Why are there scary people walking around everywhere?"
Isaac shivered and held Paige's shirt. Paige ruffled his hair to comfort him.
"What a crybaby." Leo said.
Isaac glared at Leo. There was an intense pressure in the room aside from the fear everyone carried. Liam however was not scared. He actually had a plan. Just then, the UnAlive grabbed Lena and started biting and destroying her body.
"Agh! Help me! Please!"
Cherry was about to lunge at the UnAlive when Liam stopped her. Liam started thinking.
"She was goner from the start. She had been bitten so there was no saving her."
"Please! It hurts! Help me! Aghhh!"
Lena continued screaming. One of the UnAlive noticed the family and chased them.
"Everyone to Leo's room, now!"
Liam pointed upstairs and everyone ran to Leo's room. They rushed inside and locked the door.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
The UnAlive were hitting and banging the door. The door was slowly breaking down.
"There going to break down the door!"
Oliver whined about the UnAlive breaking down the door. Liam scolded Oliver and had him help to block the door with something.
"They'll break the door unless you help me block it."
The blocked the door with a dresser. They could still hear Lena being eaten by the UnAlive.
"Please! Help me! It hurts! Please!"
Then there was silence. Paige shivered.
"It went silent. Does that mean...?"
"She's dead."
Liam answered Paige's question before she could finish.
"We're next if we don't get to the garage."
Liam grabbed some blankets and tied them together. He was making rope. Oliver was making fun of Liam during the process.
"Well, well. Mr. CEO getting creative."
Liam finished making the rope.
"Oliver, I want you to go down and make sure it's safe."
Oliver walked over to look over the balcony. There was a small horde of UnAlive roaming around the yard.
"Why do I have to do it?! I dont take orders from you!"
Liam sighed. He looked to Cherry. Cherry bowed.
"It's my duty sir."
"Thank you Cherry."
Liam opened his backpack and pulled out a knife.
"If they attack you, stab the head and make a run for the garage. You know how to open it."
"Yes sir."
Cherry climbed down the rope. Oliver again started making fun of his brother.
"Sending a lady down to take care of this? Where are your manners?"
"She's much more brave and reliable than a scardey cat like yourself."
Oliver growled. Cherry looked around. She waved at Liam to signal that it was after to come down.
"Cherry says it's safe. Let's go down."
They climbed down the rope. When Leo got down he saw the white dog. He picked it up. Paige made a fuss about the dog coming along.
"Oh no your not, we already have three kids. We don't need a dog!"
"Shut up you old hag. Nobody asked for your permission."
Paige snarled at Leo. Liam was once again thinking about the past.
" After the blood moon occoured, animals started to mutate into UnAlive.The first blood moon starts almost two years from now. If we could train the dog, he would be a great use to us.
"Let him keep the dog."
"But dear, it'll only cause more trouble for us."
"The only trouble that will occur is if you don't listen to me."
"I'm...sorry."
"We need to get to the garage. There's a car in there."
They headed towards the garage. Liam led the way while Cherry was in the back, watching foe UnAlive. They turned a corner and an UnAlive attacked Liam. Cherry dashed at the UnAlive and stabbed its head. It growled and fell.
"Everybody run!" Liam yelled.
They started running. Liam opened the garage. Cherry let go of the knife and ran after them. Liam closed the garage.
"Oliver, Amelia, Yuki and Issac sit in the back. Paige will sit in the front with me next to the window. Leo will sit in the middle with Cherry."
Leo disagreed with the idea.
Are you telling me to sit on her lap? I'm not doing it."
"Well there's no other option. Unless you want to trade spots with Isaac and sit next to Oliver?"
"Tsk. Disgusting."
Leo ended up sitting on Cherry's lap. He glared out the window. Liam chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Oh. I wasn't laughing at you, maybe."
Liam opened the garage door again and zoomed the car out of the garage. They crashed into the UnAlive. Leo called out his dad.
"You drive like a psycho."
"I geuss I haven't driven for a while."
"Then you netter drive like your driving for your life."
A gurl popped out of nowhere and started banging on the window. Liam asked a question out loud.
"Is she in need of help?"
"Are you crazy?! We can't let anyone in! There's no room!" Oliver argued.
The girl kicked the car and walked off with somewhere people.
"Or she just wanted the car."
Liam made a funny face then continued driving.
"Why don't we head to Toxuru? It has the biggest Branch base." Piage questioned.
*FLASHBACK*
"Kill them all! They won't go back! Fire!"
"You traitors shouldn't be here!"
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"No we shouldn't." Liam refused.
"Why not?" Oliver asked.
"Because they-never mind, fine. Well go to Toxoru."
"Papa? What were you going to say about the army and stuff?"
"Nothing, Isaac."
"That's going to be at least a few days trip. Do we have enough essential?" Amelia asked.
"Don't worry. I've taken care of that."
Liam looked at Leo.
"What, old man?"
"Why does he call me that? It's so cruel!" Liam thought.
Liam looked back at the road. There next destination was Toxuru.
