Into Darkness
Chapter 2
We weren't the only ones running though, I saw our neighbors also running in front and behind us.
"Mommy help!" I heard a girl yell and I glanced over my shoulder.
The mum that had carried the child has tripped over a branch and was struggling to get up. The kid was waiting by her side, impatiently trying to pull her up.
I screamed when I saw one of the people grab the mum by her shoulder and tear the skin on her bare shoulder open.
The woman cried and tried to run away, only resulting in the wounds getting deeper. The little girl was crying and I screamed once again when I saw one of the people grabbing the little girls hair and pulling.
I turned my head around and looked in front of me, trying to forget about what I just saw.
Amber was running next to me, her eyes snapping to mine and giving me a quick nod.
"Where are we going to go?" She asked, she whimpered and I realized that she was crying.
"I don't know- HOLY SHIT" A woman jumped in front of me and reached after my face.
"Get away from me" I yelled and ran away from her.
"Are you okay?" I asked Amber.
No answer.
I looked up and in the big crowd of people running everywhere I couldn't find her.
"Amber?" I cried.
"Amber!?" But she was nowhere to be found.
I started crying and saw that people were too busy trying to save themselves to notice me.
I turned around but I couldn't distinguish the people from normal's, since my vision was so blurred from crying.
I saw a few people run towards the woods on the other side of our town, I guess it was the only way to get away from here really.
We only had one road, leading out of the city and it would most certainly be pretty occupied, I reasoned.
My eyes were still searching for Amber's long dark hair.
Me and my twin had very similar facial structure and bodies, but our eye- and hair colours were completely different. Amber had dark straight hair and light brown almost golden eyes, just like our biological dad apparently had, while I had inherited my biological mums unruly red locks and green eyes. I basically looked like the girl from 'Brave'.
It might look cool on her, but I just looked like a troll.
"The zombies are walking towards the school! My child is still there!" I heard a woman yell.
The zombies?
Oh my god.
This was actually an zombie apocalypse.
And that's when it really hit me.
