THE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK

chapter ten

Ethan walked up to the body parts right in front of him and almost hauled at the site of what he saw. "Can you think of anyone who would do this?" he asked, looking at Clara and back at Johnny. "I wish I knew, but right now, we are just as clueless as you are." Johnny replied

"My family." Clara said it with a scared face as she ran towards her home. "Go; we don't know who else might be around." Ethan looked at Johnny, asking him to follow Clara.

Johnny ran after Clara, who had her gun pointed in all directions as she walked. "What do you think happened?" Johnny's voice was in hush whispers as he moved closer to her. "I don't know. What did he tell you?" Clara lowered her gun a little, looking at Johnny, who was keeping his eyes open. "He didn't say much. I think he found out something at the hospital and radioed immediately, but no one was answering." Johnny replied

The door creaked open, and they both fired a round at the door. Ethan heard the sound of a gunshot and immediately ran towards them.

The door flunked open, and two strong-looking zombies charged towards them. Johnny felt scared as they both got to their heels. The sound of the snarls could be heard as they kept chasing both of them. " Run!" Johnny shouted at Clara as he ran with his strength.

Clara looked back each time she ran, and suddenly she stopped. " Why? What happend? Why are you stopping?" Johnny shook her violently.

Clara burst into tears as she pointed at the zombie coming at them. "That is my brother." She said it with tears.

"I am sorry, Clara, but that thing isn't your brother anymore but a fierce-looking flesh-eating demon, and we need to run now!" Johnny shook her and looked into his eyes.

He saw that the zombies were getting closer to them. "We need to go now!" Johnny shouted again, but Clara was not listening.

"Bend." They heard a voice right behind them as Ethan pulled the bow he was holding.

And an imaginary arrow immediately came out of it, knocking the zombies to the ground. Clara looked at Ethan and hit him on the face. "Did you know what you have done?" she shouted in pain. "You killed them. We were doing just fine before you came here." She yelled at him.

Ethan looked at her and could see a lot of his sister, Rachel, in her. They have always quarreled, and things have gone bad between them. He now needs to find her the second time, which was becoming irritating.

He watched a Clara ran towards the zombies and cried. "That was her brother." Johnny said, looking at Ethan, who felt no remorse. To him, the zombies weren't humans anymore. There were some demons that needed to be put down if they were going to survive. "We need to find them. I need to know the person who would do something like this." Ethan added

"The zombies—it was like they knew what they were doing." Johnny said, looking at Ethan, who was examining the ground. He slowly looked back at Johnny. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, getting up. Ethan looked at the shoelace he was holding and knew it belonged to his sister.

He had brought her the shoe on her twentieth birthday to apologize to her for being away for such a long time. He held the rope tightly and looked at Johnny. "Did you say the zombies were acting weird?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"They chased us like they were told to do so." Johnny replied

Ethan walked towards Clara and gently pulled her up. "We can't stay here; we don't know what happened here, and we definitely don't want to stick around to find out." Ethan said, slowly looking around.

"Where do we go? This is home." Johnny said, slowly looking at the chaos right in front of him. "Do you rather we stay here and die? The zombies are" Ethan was about to utter another word when he heard a severe migraine.

He held his breath as he groaned in pain, clinging to his head tightly. "What is happening to him?" Clara asked, looking at Johnny, who was equally lost.

"I don't know." Johnny stared at Ethan on the floor.

Ethan felt his head throbbing in pain as he tried to open his eyes. Everything seems drowsy at first. His vision was blurry as he called out to Johnny and Clara. The sound of a scuffle was heard, and suddenly he heard a high-pitched sound in his ears. Ethan opened his eyes to see that Clara and Johnny were being gagged and pressed to the floor. He looked around to see two men standing with a gun pointed at him.

"Who are you?" Ethan asked, slowly walking towards them. "You will keep your distance if you don't want them dead." One of the men said he was recocking his gun. " What?" Ethan said, slowly dragging his feet on the ground.

"Stop! Just tell us what happened here. Tell me what the hell happened to my wife!" he shouted. "Or I swear to gun I am going to blow their heads off."

Johnny's breath was a little haggered as he looked at Ethan, who seemed to be disoriented.

The clicking sound of the gun made Ethan stop moving. He looked at Clara and saw Rachel right beside her, kneeling down too. " Rachel?" He said slowly, looking at Clara, who was still a little bit shaken up by what was going on. "Tell me what I need to know!" The voice made Ethan come back to his senses. Ethan looked behind the two men and saw a man coming at them. At first, he thought it was human, but the movement showed it was something more.

It was nothing like a zombie
