The Apocalypse

Chapter 1: Where It All Starts

Marley's P.O.V

You never think that something like this would ever happen.

The zombie apocalypse you see in movies where the human race comes to an end... that's becoming our reality now.

I never thought our already messed up world could get any worst..but it did.

This is the end of the world...the end of the human race.

"Are we almost there? This is taking soo longgg" Marley's sister, Samantha, whines.

"Yes, yes calm down we're almost there" I smile following the gps.

"Can you just tell me where we're goingg. I hate surprises and you know it" Samantha whines more.

"Trust me you are going to LOVE this surprise. We're only like..." I check how long until we're there "10 minutes away"

Samantha stays quiet and I continue driving. We arrive at a cabin i rented and I pull into the parking lot. "Umm..where are we?" Samantha says disgusted. "Look..I know you've been stressed and have been having a hard time adjusting in the new town and new school, so I thought having some time to ourselves out here would help".

"And you thought bringing me to a cabin in the middle of the woods was the right move to get me to relax?" Samantha says in disgust "Sam I'm sorry, I'm really trying. I understand how hard it is being new and-"

"You don't understand! You made us move! I had everything there and you took it away from me!" Samantha yells in anger. "Sam..you know I didn't mean to..there was more to it then you think there is. You need to understand-" I say feeling the guilt stab me in the stomach.

"No you don't!" Samantha says slamming the car door, grabbing the cabin keys and bringing her stuff in.

Now that was a bit dramatic.

I get out of the car, bring my stuff in and lock the door.

...

It's currently 3am and Samantha woke me up because she heard noises outside of her window. Remind me to never go camping with my 16 y/o sister in the woods again. She won't let me go back to sleep until I make sure it's not a monster.

I grab the flashlight from the closet. "You do know you're being very dramatic right now, right?" I say tiredly holding the flashlight while walking out the front door with Samantha. "I'm not being dramatic! I swear there was someone out here"

"Are you sure it wasn't a bear? I mean, we are in the woods" I yawn aching to go back to sleep. "Marley I swear it wasn't a bear! I heard it" Sam says crossing her arms.

I point the flashlight around and eventually give up. "See? Nothing is there. It was probably just a wild animal, okay?" I reassure her.

I was about to turn around to leave but then I heard this inhuman noise coming from the trees. "What the-" "See! Did you hear that" Sam widens her eyes while whisper yelling. I turn my flashlight slowly to the sound to see a person hovering over a body, eating it's brains. "WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell grabbing Samantha's wrist and running back into the cabin and locking us in.

"Oh my god! What the hell just happened" Samantha cries out. I don't even know what just happened.

"What kind of sicko freak eats a human brain! Isn't that like.. cannibalism" Sam says pacing around the room. I grab onto Sam's shoulders stopping her from pacing. "Sam! That was no human! Did you not see the way it looked and sound."

"How is this even possible! How is that not a human! What else could it be?" Sam says panicking.

A creek coming from the front porch catches our attention. I put my index finger to my lip to signal to be quiet. Sam stays silent as I quietly tip toe to my bedroom with her following behind.

"Listen up Sam, if we want to get out of here alive we have to sneak out to my car without making a noise, got it?" I whisper and Sam nods. I quietly grab my keys and tip toe out the back door with Sam.

We quietly make our way into the car when Sam steps on a crunchy leaf. "Dude you've got to be kidding me" I pinch the bridge of nose in frustration. Sam mouths an I'm sorry. The unknown creature hears the crunchy sound and starts running towards us.

"Shit shit shit" I fumble around with my keys trying to find the right key. "Jeez how many keys do you have". I finally find the key and unlock it, getting in the car with Sam and locking it. The creature bangs on the car window making inhuman noises. I drive away quickly not knowing where we're going.

"W-what the fuck just happened.."

"I don't know..but whatever that was, I know it wasn't human..and If that's the case, I'm sure there's more of whatever that thing was" I gulp
