Cold Veins and Hollow Hearts

I woke up quite fast, actually. I was just smacked out of my dream. Well, more of a memory. Yes, I was dreaming about brad. Shut up. I heard a piercing scream that I knew was Micky (Mckala).

I got out of bed and tried my fastest to get down stairs but ended up tripping. Soon, I got up and ran to where the noise was coming from.

The kitchen. I ran into there as fast as possible to see that Micky, was on the ground struggling to get out of a random mans grasp. I also realize that the back door was open. "Ey! Help!" I did as I was told and I immediately tackled the guy off of her, but we soon knotted, as then the trespasser was on me.

"Get the fuck off!! Micky!!" I hollered. I looked straight up at the man. His skin had boils and puss all over, he looked diseased.

Then he had light grey off, and dull looking pink teeth. Is..is that blood all over his mouth and teeth? This is not normal. This is something you see on tv. "What the hell are you?!" I whimpered trying to get out of the mans grasp. It was almost like dead weight.

Then I heard a "clunk!" Sound, and then the man fell next to me, lifeless. I look up and see that Micky grabbed my metal softball bat that I keep for emergencies. It slid threw her fingers like water.

"Wha-..what the fuck..?" She whispered, and I did all I could do. I cried. "What the fuck was wrong with that guy? He obviously wasn't mentally stable. And he looked very very sick!" Micky panicked. I just held myself, on the kitchen floor. "I-is he- it. Is I-it d-dead?" I stuttered. "I-I-I think so.." She whispered. "What the fuck.." I said out loud to myself. "What do we do?" She asked.

"Get help. Call the police, I will text andy to try and get a hold of him." She only nodded as she picked up her cell phone and I heard the 911 dispatcher say "911, please hold." I ran upstairs lightning fast, I really don't want to be alone after what just happened.

A crazy man just tried to kill me! I saw my phone off my dresser, and I realize that it was vibrating. Who's calling me this early? I pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's andy." The familiar voice called.

"Oh thank god. Listen, this man tried to attack us and we need help." But before I could finish, he cut me off.

"Kelley, did he bite you?" What kind of question was that?

"What.. No.. What kind of question was that?" I asked. He was seeming to be in a hurry.

"There's no time to explain. Ashley and cc are over my house, pack all of your important things and food, I will explain everything later."

What the fuck? I had no time to question, he told me that he would explain as well.

"I-okay. But please explain later." I asked him.

"Yes. And what ever you do, do not go outside." Then he hung up.

Well that was weird. I ran down stairs to tell Micky the news. She already shut and locked the doors, and she was starring wide eyed, outside a window.

"Micky?" I asked, taking a step forward. "You okay?" I asked. She only starred at me, and nodded, ten she pointed out of the window. I look outside the window to see at least a dozen people just wandering around in our back yard. They all had the boil-covered paste skin, and blood coming from some of there mouths as they all had wounds.

They all has those pale eyes, like they all had the same disease. Like? Are they all mentally unstable? I knew one thing. If they where like the man that just tried to kill us, we better keep distance, and make sure that they don't find out where in here.

"Micky. We have to pack, Andy's going to come over soon, he said that he would explain everything that is going on later. But we don't have much time, come on." She only nodded as we both bolted up the stairs and took all of our important things. Shampoo, lotion, we didn't have much clothing so we where able to fit it. Tooth paste, tooth brush, hair brush. Socks, and all that good stuff.

I also grabbed my charger just in case. Even though my phone had a solar powered case, you had to be safe. We grabbed lots of food, and together we only used like 4 bags. We where ready. "I'm calling andy." I told Micky as she nodded, and paced the room. The phone never rang, it said "out of service". Then we heard the backdoor creek open. And after hearing lazy footsteps, we knew they where in the house.

"Let's get the hell out of here!" Micky screamed in a whisper. "Okay, grab the things we will go out threw the front. We grabbed our bags and quietly opened up the door, and both of us snuck out, both of us crouching. "Now what?" Micky asked me. I look around. Surprisingly I didn't see any of those things in the street.

"Let's get over to Andy's house before any of those things see us." I motioned. She nodded as we crouched in my yard, still no sign. Then when we where about the cross the road, we saw two coming from down the road, and we squatted by the cars.

"Oh shit. What do we do?" She said, just as I was about to answer her, my mouth was shit as I felt a hand sloppily go over my mouth, but not forcefully. I also realized that whoever was behind be had a tight grip on my hip. I yelped out loudly, and Micky turned her head and saw me but she didn't seem scared, she actually seemed happy.

"Don't make any noise, get under neath the car. We will bring the truck around." Andy's low voice vibrated into my ear. I only nodded as his grip loosened and I swirled around. Relief washing over me when I realized it was him. His hair was crazy as black curls went everywhere, his hair teased slightly from last night.

He was wearing ripped up skinny jeans and a "drop hugs, not bombs" muscle shirt. He was also wearing combat boots and his makeup was washed off from last night. I nodded as he slipped away behind the cars and me and Micky got under neath a black one.
As we waited we saw the feet of the people we saw down the road shuffling in front of the far we where currently under. Then I heard the weirdest thing ever. One of them growled as another moaned.

Then. Within seconds, they where crushed to the ground. Ones face was underneath a trucks tire. That must be are Que. we slipped out from under neath the car and threw our bags in the back of the car and hopped in. There wasn't much space, considering that there where 3 guys already in the truck and two girls about to get on.

A guy with a bandana and long black hair was driving. Next to him was a shirtless guy with a "outlaw" tattoo, then there was Andy and his crazy expression. First Micky hoped In and ended up having to sit on Ashley's lap, and I ended up having to so on Andy's.

But I was facing Andy as I spoke to him. "What the hell is going on?" I asked, fear in my voice as well as his. "I don't really know, but it's some type of virus spreading. If you get bit by one of those things you start getting blisters as you just go crazy. A few hours ago, it happens to my dad.."

He began, as I felt tears drop into my lap, andy sniffled, and went on. "We tried to help my dad, but within minutes he died.. Or so we thought. We woke right back up and attacked my mom. When she got bit she started to change. My mom told me to..t-to kill them.." He sobbed, the driver was pretty much crying, and the "outlaw" just looked down.

"But I couldn't! So I packed up my things.. And cc and Ashley over here came and pick me up. And if you where still alive I couldn't leave you." He looked up with his puffy eyes, and I wiped some tears away.

"Oh my god that's terrible.. I-I don't know what to say.." I told him as I comforted him with a hug. "Thank you for coming and getting us. They got into the house so we had no choice to go outside." I told him. He then introduced me to the driver, cc, and his best friend, Ashley. "Se where are we going?" I asked andy. He only looked at me with sad eyes. "I don't know.."
