A Zombie for my birthday
It's late November and severely cold, Bob and John left to get supplies hours ago. I'm prepared to go out and look for them, but instead Bill went.
"Damn it Bill! Why want you let me go out there!" I said very frustrated.
"Kid i promised Lis. She wanted me to keep you safe."
"If that'sthe case. Why don't you let me come with you? She wanted you to keep me safe, not a building."
"Damn it Tadd! Your staying here and keeping this place guarded and wait for Ralph. He's to return in an hour."
Bill left and I sat down, i cleaned for about twenty minutes, than took stock, lastly i cleaned the weapons and loaded them. An hour had past and banging on the door started.
"Ralph! Are you crazy, we are not suppose to be making allot of rack-it!"
"Tadd! Open the door!....." Ralph starts huffing and bangs even louder. "Damn it open the God Damn door!"
I unlock the door, he slams it as he gets in. He's been bit.
"They g-g-got them!" He stutters and breaths harder. "Bob, he was taken out first, by one big motherfucker, then they got John. It must have been ten of them on him. Hundreds rushed towards me, I ran and there on there way. We need to get packed and out!"
"What about Bill!"
"Bill, Bill! He's not fucking here. Damn it! Just get the stuff ready, but while you do that, give me the first aid kit." He says scare out of his mind.
"Bill went to get them, and told me to stay here and wait for you."
"Did he take the walky?"
"I think?"
"Well then kid! Get him on the shitty walky and get his ass here before we leave."
I grab the walky and speak. "Bill you there?" There was no response. "Bill you there?"
"Roger that good buddy."
"Bill, John and Bob are dead and you need to get back to the house."
"No." He mumbled in a dark cold voice.
"Why, are you crazy! They are coming and we need to leave!"
"Tadd? I know, I'm outside right now, but I've been bitten and i will die and reanimate soon."
"So has Ralph, you don't have to abandon me yet. We will survive, i heard over the radio moment ago that there's a vaccine." I take a breath and hear wind blowing hard. "Bill, goddamn it you will survive. Come in and get ready! We are going to the colony only a hours drive away. They received the vaccine no more than an hour ago. Come In!" Tears poor down my face.
A heavy beating started on the front door, then the back door. Bill comes up behind me.
"This is good news to hear, but what have i said about leaving the windows open."
"Are they out there?"
"Can you not hear the fucking banging and moaning of the bitches? I fucking hate this world!" Ralph said freaking out.
We gather the things and leave through the window, only having to kill three zombies on the way to the car. One of them came up be hind me, but before he could get his arms around me, I kicked his ass back a few feet. Head shot, but he gets up. Another head shot, he falls down, but gets up.
"This is how they got them man. This is how they fucking got them." Ralph says. "Run! Get in the car Tadd!"
We drive, hitting the occasional zombie here and there on the road. They just want die. I bet a granade up there ass would solve the problem.
Reaching DrivesDale we pull in to the gate of the colony and they let us in. Bill talks them in to taking me to the Caffe as they go to the medical center. I though i would smell coffe and fri's again, but here i am. A zombie free land within a zombie infested world. The strong steel walls and 24/7 gaurds, i feel safe here, i havn't in a long time. My 18th birthday and we make it to civilization, they best gift.
The alarm goes off, people are screaming, bodies are falling, bodies are rising, they are attacking people.
"I should have known, Fake ass vaccine!"
The waitress comes to me, a small young sweet thing. I can tell she never has incountered anything more than a couple of them. I take her hand and she shows me to the bunker.
Bill! Why! Why did you have to leave and get yourself killed. Why couldnt you have let me do it.
"Hi, my name is Sarah."
"Mines Tadd."
"Cute name."
"Yours to."
We enter the bunker doors.
