"RUN!!!"
A word that I lost count of saying over and over for the past two months.
"How did they fucking get in?!"
I asked, clearly surprised by the sudden turn of events.
"I don't know, it was his turn to guard the gates...
ON YOUR LEFT!" said the person behind me.
"Then where is h...Hah!"
I said after crushing the head of a zombie using a metal bat while throwing a knife behind it to kill another one on the head.
'fuck there's too many' I said to myself while bashing zombie heads left and right.
"Open the door of the room to the left so we can hide. I will clear the way"
"Okay leave it to me," she said while slashing a zombie in half with her katana.
It's been two months of nonstop killing, screaming, and running. Ever since this apocalypse happened it's just chaos after chaos. But before all of this, it was still hell for me.
I am a university student preparing to graduate. I don't dare say I am a nobody but I like to do stuff on my own and I prefer to do things alone. I have acquaintances who from time to time invite me to drink but the only persons I consider close to me are my girlfriend Chloe and childhood friend, Trevor. You heard it right even though I am a loner I had a girlfriend. Chloe is pretty and popular. She became my girlfriend only because she wanted to get rid of annoying suitors but that did not stop me from eventually liking her because she is a kind person. Trevor on the other hand is just a rich kid. He may be dumb but at least I trust him and I get free food when I'm with him I don't even know why he befriended me but free food is free food. We hang out every weekend but one day I saw something truly atrocious. When we were drinking, the three of us Chloe, Me, and Trevor got super drunk because Trevor introduced this game where when you lose you drink a shot and coincidentally I lost to almost all of the rounds.
"Imma go outside really quick to catch a breather you guys continue," I said as I stood up wobbling to the exit.
"Sure dude go get some rest I'll handle the rest," Trevor said while pouring another shot.
"Should I join you? You can't even stand and walk straight" Chloe said worried about what would come out first me or my vomit.
"It's okay you guys continue just give me 10 minutes" As I get outside I feel the fresh wind pass by me and make me feel refreshed. "This feels good, I bet after graduating I won't be free like this. Should I just settle down with Chloe then? She's a good person and we vibe a lot" While surrounded by those thoughts I fail to realize something that would change my life. After 12 minutes of being outside, I started to walk right back in when I heard someone scream.
"KYAAAA!!" was what I heard and it seemed close enough so I wondered whether to check on it or not.
"Nah, I ain't no dumb movie character that just goes straight right in when I don't know what happened. I'll just call the cops". After calling the cops I walked back inside to see both Trevor and Chloe gone from our table and when I asked the waiter where they could've gone they said the guy paid for the bill and left carrying the girl because she was knocked out. "What the hell I was outside why didn't he call me" "Did you know where they went?"
"They went by the backdoor out the alleyway eight minutes ago," the waiter said. "Thanks"
As I tried to catch up to them I heard the sirens of police and the ambulance. "What the... Don't tell Chloe was the one who screamed" I ran to the scene only to see a bloody body. "Chloe?" I said increasing my anxiousness per second that my question was not answered. "Excuse me, sir, do you know her? Based on her I.D. that she has her name is Emily" One of the cops investigating asked me. I sighed with relief to know that the victim was not Chloe "No sir, I don't know who that person is but I was the one who called the police cause I heard someone scream here" I informed the officer but then I got bombarded by a bunch of questions making me regret I even said anything. They asked me whether I knew who did this to her, what else did I hear, and a bunch of other questions. As more and more questions were asked I got more annoyed because I couldn't go and find the others. Finally, after 10 minutes of interrogation, I was told to leave and they would contact me if any other evidence was found. I searched the whole block to find where those two had gone but by the next turn I made I saw something gut-wrenching.
