Vampires Will Never Hurt You, But Zombies Will
Chapter 1: His Shadow Lives On
(Lauren's POV)
It has been 4 months now since the beginning of this whole epidemic. Bob calls it "world drama," and Gerard & I snicker whenever he says it. It's kind of annoying always having to sleep with one eye open, but I rarely have to because Bob & Gerard rarely let me stay on guard. Bob is 27 years old, I'm 22 and Gerard's 31 years of age. I should be able to help and take care of myself! I hear a twig crack and I quickly turn around to see Gerard behind me. We've been residing in a farmhouse around 5 miles from any town or city, but that doesn't condone death walking to our door. "We've been looking for you," Gerard says, coldly. I get up off the grass and I follow Gerard inside the house. Bob was pacing when we entered the room, when he saw me, he practically jumped out of his skin. He pulled me close into a tight hug and breathed on my head. "I'm so glad you're okay," he mumbled in a muffled voice by my hair. I hug him back, awkwardly and I smile at him to try and make him happier. Bob pulls away and breathes out, "Okay... are you still going to to come to town with me?" I nod and I follow Bob to the car. I look up at the sky and the sun's beams are shining through the trees like sharp spikes, aching to hit the ground. It's quite warm out now. Bob gets into the passenger's side andI get into the driver's seat. I turn on the engine and I accelerate onto the main road. We go into town and collect as much medicine as we can find, stuffing bags fully of little pill bottles that could potentially save our lives. I grab 5 first aid kits, finding them in a close grocery store. They're small, but they'll help out here. On our way home, we see a figure, it kinda looks like a zombie, but we aren't sure. I slow the car down and Bob grabs his shotgun and we step out. I look at the shadow. It doesn't look dead.... "are you okay?" I ask it and Bob looks at me like I'm stupid and I shrug.
