Akim's pov

"Hey! Why did you stop the car?" Asked Joanna

" Yeah I don't see any reason you should be stopping," said Joshua

" You couldn't even get anything we wanted, some driver you are," said Jonathan

" Why can't you just do your job right? "Said Emma "You are supposed to be taking me to the open air field so I can get out of this hell"

" You can't even do anything right, "said Richard "That's why we rich folks have to keep ordering you low class around so you would be able to do things"

All right, that ticked me off as I clenched the steering wheel so tightly, trying to control myself; I am only doing this because I can get to my family faster this way, and Emma has the same name as my younger sister. These brats are so annoying that I'm starting to regret why I helped them. Phew, I just have to wait for a little while. Then I can drop these kids off and get to my family, just a little more. As I started the car the girl at the back screamed, pointing to the front of the car. As I looked forward, I saw a herd of zombies rushing towards us. Shit, I can't fight this many without my blades. Is it even possible to fight this many? I looked over the kids and saw they were very terrified and were shaking in their seats, it would have been funny if not for the situation we were in. Since I can't use my abilities in front of them and the rounds in the shotgun would not be enough for a herd this size, the only way would be to forget about trying to get the crystals and just run them over to get away.

"Fasten your seatbelt kids, this is about to get rough"

As I stepped on the gas and then zoomed off to face them head-on, the herd just kept charging towards us

"Gbam"

I started colliding with them one by one running them over, thinking it was a good thing the jeep had been modified as I tried to maneuver inside the herd to get away from it fast some were trying to hold on to the sides of the jeep trying to pull it down, I swerved to the sides and used the abandoned cars at the sides to pry them off, I felt like I was playing a certain zombie game. When I was almost out of the herd, a huge zombie grabbed onto Emma's side of the jeep and started pulling it making her scream, as the zombie started trying to turn us over, his strength was more than any zombie I had seen as he was pulling it so hard and it felt like we were going to get toppled over, I tried hitting it on the cars at the side but it wasn't working at all, as other zombies jump to the other sides of the jeep. Now it felt like we might not make it from this ride. No, I am not going to accept that after all, I had overcome just to die here. I haven't even found my parents. No I am not dieing here. I refuse to accept this.

"Can you drive?" I asked Emma who was frozen in fear

"Emma can you drive?!" I yelled at her

"Y-yes yes I can," she said stuttering

She grabbed the wheel, trying to stabilize the jeep, but the zombies' pull was too strong for her. I assisted her with one of my hands, and then I grabbed the shotgun with the other hand, trying to aim; as the zombies shocked the jeep, making me drop the shotgun to the back seats.

"Pass the gun to me now" I yelled at them

Richard picked it up and pointed the gun at the zombies at the windows, trying to shoot them.

"What the hell are you doing?!!" I shouted, "Give the gun to me!!"

" I can do this, " Richard said grinning wildly

As he fired, he blasted off the shoulder of one of the zombies, causing it to hit another one as they both fell, but the recoil was too much for an inexperienced teenager as the shotgun fired backward and hit his nose.

"Argh my nose" shouted Richard

"Give me the gun, boy. I need--" I was cut off by the jeep hitting a car beside us. When I looked at the front, I saw we were heading towards a building. I quickly swerved to my right, causing us to almost topple.

" Why aren't you driving straight?" I shouted at Emma

" It's hard to okay "she yelled back

Argh, why did I even pick them up in the first place?

"You have to hold the wheel alone for a few seconds. I will be back to support you," I shouted. "Can you do it?"

" Yeah I can do it" she replied

"All right on the count of three"

"One Two Three"

I left the wheel and turned to the back seat trying to pick up the gun

"Pass the gun to me," I said signaling one of them at the back

As Jonathan picked it up trying to give it to me Emma hit something making the car shake and the gun fall from his hand, I managed to catch it and turn towards the zombie as I shot at it three times before its head could blow up then I shot at the remaining zombies causing the jeep to be balanced then I grabbed the steering wheel and pressed the gas hitting anything my way as I drove out of the herd.

When I got out of the herd I continued driving fast till we got to a supermarket in a quiet neighborhood.

I suggested we get what we needed inside the supermarket and then stay the night.

Then we heard a human scream

"Help me!!!"

I knew that it wasn't a zombie, but someone was crying for help as I got out of the car and ran inside the supermarket.

"What the hell?" I said with horror written on my face

    Akim's pov"What the hell?" I said with horror written on my face I couldn't understand what I was looking at, a brunette lady looking like she was in her early twenties was on the floor with a shelf on her upper body except for her head, and a zombie was at her lower half literally eating her ass, as the woman continued to scream for help but she was not looking my way but in front of her almost as if she was looking at someone as I approached cautiously I saw a man approaching the woman slowly with a metal bat, at the back of the man, there were two small kids. The man moved closer till he saw me, he stopped in his tracks shocked but I signaled he should keep quiet as I slowly moved closer when I got next to the zombie I kicked it away from the lady cocking my shotgun, the zombie got back up trying to attack me as I shot it brains out, the man fell on his knees crawling to the woman, as I moved closer to examine the zombie I found a crystal.I looked over at the man, and when I mad

    Akim's povI stood up slowly, being careful not to wake the rest so I wouldn't cause a panic; last time I checked, it was only Mr Aiden and his family that were staying there, so I didn't think it was a human. As I approached where the noise came from, I saw two shadows, I cocked my gun, moving closer, ready to shoot anything suspicious. When I got close enough I saw that the noise came from Mr Aiden's kids having a late night snack."Hey guys, I guess you both got hungry huh?"I retracted my shotgun and kept it at my back with the strap; these kids seem to be wary of me, especially the older one; I guess it's to be expected since I killed their mother."Hey" I sat in front of them thinking of what to say; I was never great with kids, so I didn't even know what to do with them. Maybe I thought I should leave; yeah, I'm sure they are probably uncomfortable with me here. I guess I'll just leave."U-um sir, is mommy gonna go to heaven?" The little girl askedMy heart dropped when I hear

    Akim's pov "M-my dad was the one who pushed my mom to the zombie," said Jake.What? That can't be true, there's no way Mr Aiden would do something like that. Didn't he love his family? Were they in a fight or something?" We got chased into the store by a zombie, my dad tried to fight it off while we got deeper into the store. But the zombie kept getting up, no matter how much my dad hit it with his bat; my mum hid us at the back of a small table. I watched as my dad grabbed my mom and pushed her towards the zombie, but she hit a shelf and it fell on her. My dad just stood there watching and didn't help her up then the zombie got her. " Jake explained.I couldn't believe what I was hearing, what could she have done? Was it a deliberate act? The kid definitely didn't see anything wrong with him explaining it. I felt so mad, and I was going to go confront him when I heard several gunshots and screams jolting me up. I looked by my side; the shotgun and pistol used in practicing were bot

    Akim's pov "Lima?" Jake gasped looking around for her before running in the direction of the sound. That definitely sounded like Lima, wasn't she here? I looked back and saw that not only her was missing but Mr Aiden too. "You guys go check what's going on, we'll handle things here" Richard yelled I looked over to one of the men and he nodded at me, gesturing he would take charge of things here. I nodded and quickly followed after Jake. I then caught up to Jake as we were running, I noticed we were heading towards the frozen treat section; maybe Lima had come here with Mr. Aiden, and they got attacked, but is there a way zombies could have gotten in? "Don't worry Jake, I'm sure your dad is keeping her safe, so I'm sure everything is fine" I assured him When we got there, I saw Mr. Aiden pushed Lima towards a zombie and was about to turn and start running when he saw us stopping him in his tracks. I could see his face go pale in fear; he was as shocked as we were; we j

    Akim's p.o.v It was a calm evening as I drove through the busy expressway while listening to my favorite jam, "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone; reaching my favorite part of the song, I brought out a small box and opened it with my free hand while my right hand was still on the stirring wheel. I had a big grin on my face as I brought up the ring from its box and admired its golden décor… a diamond crested ring worth $10,000, very expensive, even with my work as a military medical aid risking my life on the job when it requires us to be close to the war zones, you’ll be thinking of course the pay would be handsome… but that was not the case at all, the pay was still pretty much average if you ask me. ‘I’ve saved up a little bit to get this ring to finally propose to my love, Alice.’‘I know I haven’t been that around lately due to my work, but I can’t help it… I needed the extra work and shift for double my pay to afford the kind of life she would want.’ I thought with a heavy hear

Do scratches not turn one into a zombie " I thought, remembering the logic of every zombie movie I had ever seen.“… how’s all these things happening to me, is there some kind of condition I passed? " Still thinking about the possibility of the system, was I the only one? Are there others that gain abilities? Do the zombies have abilities too?."Arghhhhh," I shouted, scratching my head. "This is all so overwhelming." I started remembering all that happened that day, from the accident on the road to meeting my fiancee's affair, which made my heart ache as my mind started replaying the whole scene of her infidelity and how I could only st

However, I remained vigilant as I approached the gas station. Fortunately, I didn't encounter too many zombies on the way here, just a few zombies I saw and ran over with my Jeep. On getting to the gas station, I spotted three zombies that looked like they used to be gas station employees judging from the logo on their outfits resembling the one on the sign board. I took a shotgun I found in the jeep, then got down and got their attention cocking the shotgun; as they turned to me and started charging at me, I headshot all three of them. I looked around and found one crystal from their dead bodies then kept it inside my pocket with the rest. So far I had only gotten five in total on my way to the gas station.
