Stella was only seven years old when the world went all crazy. She remembers watching in horror as her neighbor was pulled to the ground, another person pinning her down and sinking their teeth into Poor Mrs. Whilson's neck.

Her voice caught in her throat. She wanted to scream but nothing would come out. Her mother's panicked voice pulled her from the daze as she grabbed Stella's hand and pulled her away. Stella didn't understand, why did that lady bite the sweet woman who was always helping her with math.

"Ella dear, we can't stay here, we need to find you're brother. " Her mothers frantic voice called through the chaos that was happening.

Her brother Hayden was a police officer. She missed her brother. Stella crawled to her mother and was picked up. Her mother wrapped her arms around the small child as she ran.

The two were supposed to go to the police office to find Hayden, but that didn't go as planned. They were stopped by what seven year old Stella could only describe as creatures. Stella knew they weren't human, she was sure that normal people don't eat other humans.

The two were saved by a man who called himself Nolan. The three survived for a few years together until one day Stella's mother went to get supplies and came back bit.

Stella cried. She cried because she knew what it meant. She seen it happen to a few people, a few people she called friends. She knew her mother would turn into those monsters.

She sat next to her mother and cried. Her mother grabbed her hand and rubbed circles into the backs of her small hands.

"Ella sweetheart, I want you to always remember this. You are my light, you are my star. I want you to always shine, I want you to be a light for other people. I'm so sorry I have to leave you in this world. When you look at the stars, I want you to think of me. " Her mom croaked out, her voice course and scratchy.

"Momma, please don't go. " Stella cried as she squeezed her mothers hand. Her chocked sobs were the only thing that could be heard. "I need you. "

Her mother smiled, "I love you my sweat star. I'll always be here, right under the stars. " And with those last words, Stella's mother let out her last breath before going still.

Stella let out a loud cry that would definitely alert the monsters, but she didn't care, she held her mothers hand in her own and cried.

Stella looked around to find Nolan, but he was nowhere. Stella cried as she came to terms with everything. Her mom was dead, she was now alone, and the dead came back to life and ate people.

Stella knew what she had to do and it pained her. She didn't want her mother to become one of the monsters so she grabbed her mother's gun, pointed it at her mother's head, and pulled the trigger.
