"I think we should spread out and meet after an hour we should scout and see if we will find somethings to take back to the camp ",Glen said as they exited the building .
"Okay then let's decide into two , I'll go with Aubrey and Harry ",Riley said as she started walking to the opposite direction .
"Okay be back here in an hour ",said Glen .
" Okay ",said Aubrey as she adjusted the bag she was carrying on her shoulders .
She could not understand how overnight the world had changed . It was just yesterday when she was our partying with her friends .
THREE MONTHS BEFORE
________________
She had finally turned twenty six and decided to take her last few seriously only to wake up and find the world in shits .
She could still remember the last day like it had just happened . She had been so happy . She had gotten a promotion at work and was excited about starting the following day .
She had been seated outside the balcony of the hotel that her boss had booked when she had people shouting from the lobby .
She decided to ignore it because maybe it was a wife who had caught her husband cheating and that was none of her business .
She had gone back inside and gotten under the covers to take a nap . She only had a few hours left of sleep and she was going to take advantage of the little vacation she had .
The following morning she had woken up and taken a shower and got ready to live the hotel . Out of all the times that she has decide to turn off her phone that had been the worst day .
As she stepped outside her room she had realized that the hallways were very quiet . The hotel staff was nowhere in sight to come clean like they always did .
She knew because she had stayed at the hotel a couple of times. She was shocked when she had reached the lobby to find it full of bodies .
She could see some people coming her way but they didn't look like they were normal . They were dragging their feet on the grounds while walking as if they didn't know how to walk .
She had been convinced that she was in a dream because there was no way that was real . She was stuck in the same spot as they got closer and closer .
She did not know what to do so she just stood there and watched them .
She didn't know if they would try to attack her hut from the way they were covered in blood she guessed that they were going to hurt her .
Suddenly someone came from behind her and dragged her . She stumbled and almost fell as she was running in her heels.
She turned to look behind her and they were just following them still . They reached outside the hotel and it was the same like it was inside .
There were cars parked everywhere while they there's wer left running . There were pills of bodies on the streets .
Everytime she loomed at things she even got more confused . What would have happened to cause all this ?
The girl who had dragged her out of the hotel finally let go of her hand and started looking for a car that they would take .
"Excuse me what happened here ?",Aubrey asked without breaking down.
She could only think of one things , how her mother was doing .
She was in no position to run , she couldn't even breathe on her own how was she going to survive this .
"I don't know things just went to shit no one knows what happened . People just started buying each other and then they turned into this things ",the girl said as she loomed at the pile of bodies that were on the ground .
"Are they dead or what ?",Aubrey asked her .
"I don't know but they look dead but at the same time they can walk so I don't know if hat to call them ",the girl said as she started a car .
"Come on in ",she said to Aubrey who entered the car and closed the door behind her.
"My name is Aubrey what about you ?",Aubrey asked her as she took of the heels she was wearing and took out sandals from her bag .
"Am Tatiana , do you always walk around with another pair of shoes in your bag ",she asked Aubrey as she started driving away from the hotel .
" Yeah kind of it's very tiresome to walk around in heels all day ",Aubrey said as she chuckled and leaned back in her seat .
"What type of work do you do ?",Tatiana asked her .
"Am a lawyer , today I was going to make partner ",said Aubrey as she smiled sadly .
"It's like the universe doesn't want you to have anything to yourself . This happens when you're making partner damn ",said Tatiana chuckling and Aubrey couldn't help herself but laugh with her too.
"Before we go anywhere can I please ask you to make a stop at the hospital ?",Aubrey asked her .
"Sure who are you going to see "?",Tatiana asked her .
" My mother ",Aubrey said .
The hospital was ambushed first because people thought it was like an outbreak so they all rushed there . Are you sure you want to go there ?",Tatiana asked her .
Aubrey k ew that she needed to go to the hospital . It didn't matter what was the outcome or what she was going to learn when she went there .
There was no way she was going anywhere without knowing if her mother was okay . Apart if her was scared.
She was afraid that maybe her mother hadn't survived . She could barely breathe there was no way she could defend herself from the creatures.
"Yes I need to do this , I can't go anywhere if I don't k ow if she survives or not ",she said as she turned to look at Tatiana .

PRESENT TIME .
"Hey you okay ?",Harry asked Aubrey as he touched her shoulder .
"Yes I am what's up ?",Aubrey asked him.
"You were awfully quiet and I was worried . We are gonna check this mall come on ",he said as he nudged her to walk to the entrance of the mall.
Riley opened the door and could hear people talking from inside and hoped that they weren't bad people who would try to hurt them but just Incase she pulled out her gun.
The footsteps became louder they all came face to face with the other people in the store .
"As I live and breathe , who would have thought you would survive this far ",said one of the members as she looked at them .
Riley turned back happening that one if them knew who this people were .
