Chapter One.

Waking up seems to be the most difficult thing ever when you know you're definitely going to have a hangover.

I groaned as I rolled to my side. My head felt like everest was resting on it. I brought my hands to my head and I felt it thudding. I cracked one eye opened and I saw the twin bed beside mine empty and I wasn't surprised at all l.

I'm sure Elise must have gone home with some guys after the party. Well she practically abandoned me and I managed to find my way back to the hotel where I drank myself to sleep while binge watching "Friends".

I looked up at the small wall clock above the door and it read 1: 45 pm so... She should be on her way home very soon I hope. And I'm sure she would have a long story to tell me about how she nearly died or nearly did anything illegal. And I'll give her the speech about how she could end up dead and make me face our parents alone and I'm not ready for that.

My throat was dry and I didn't try to talk because I'm sure I'll curse in pain which will cause more pain. I staggered out of bed and walked slowly to the bathroom.

I quickly splashed some water on my face which woke me up a little more but not enough to smile or walk upright.

I rang the hotel service but no one answered. After the third try, I groaned deeply and found my way down. Looks like I'll be getting my coffee myself. So much for good costumer service.

I changed to fresh clean clothes and tied my hair in a messy bun. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time..

"Oh no " I giggled as I saw my eyes. It was as red as the blood moon. I grabbed the eye drops from the stand and took care of the eyes before someone sees.

I walked out of the room as began to walk down the hallway. Which was suspiciously quiet. I hate quiet places and it's all Elise's fault. She has the worst taste in movies which always creeps me out and now I can't walk in dark or quiet places. I always think I'll be killed by a monster.

As I got to the elevator, I sighed as I pushed the button. It didn't work. I pushed it again still nothing. What the actual fuck. I'm not ready to walk down the fucking stairs especially when I'm hung over.

I groaned in frustration as I angrily stomped my way down the stairs.

The main lobby was empty even the receptionist was gone. I stood there confused. Did the rapture take place and I didn't go to heaven? Well I won't be alone Elise would be with me.

I slowly made my way to the buffet and everything was in place but looked untouched which was strange. I pushed every bad thought and poured myself a cup of coffee.

Then I heard something... A crunching noise coming from the table behind me. I slowly turned trying to figure out where the sound was coming from. I know this is how horror movies happen but then my mind kept screaming at me to check out what was happening.

My feet began to move on it's own. Coffee in hand, I walked slowly towards the table. I mean the hotel is very dirty so I'm sure it's a rat right?. As I got closer to the table, the sound stopped and I also stopped. Was I day dreaming...

"Oh shit!" I screamed as a bloodied body flew on me. I let out a scream as I fell and my coffee was sent flying. I moved away from woman and nearly threw up as I looked at what the sound was. Don't tell me. ...

"No no it can't be re.." the body grunted on God knows what and threw herself at me and I kicked her back. She fell with a thud and I scurried on my feet.

I ran towards the elevator and the crazy woman was at my heels. "please open!" I pushed the button but it wasn't going to work. So, I ran for the stairs.

The woman was unbelievably fast and looked dead. I kept running so fast I slipped on the stairs. The woman then grabbed my legs and I swear I heard her teeth snapping. I screamed as I kicked her back. She let out a growl and lunged for me again. As she was about to grab my legs, I stood up as fast as I could and ran up the stairs

I didn't stop till I got to my door. I opened it and locked it with all my might. My head was spinning and my heart was beating too fast.

"Oh my God ..." I kept chanting that with my hands over my chest. My head felt heavy so much for getting coffee. I sighed and nearly died as a knock nearly gave me a heart attack.

"Ethel! Open the damn door" Elise called from outside. I quickly ran to the door and opened it. She pushed her way in and ran to the bathroom with out even saying hi.

"Really? You're gonna push your way into the room ?"

"Sorry I really needed to pee" she smiled a weak smile. "Wassup ... You look like you just saw a ghost" she said coming closer.

"Damn right I did" I sighed and fell backwards on the bed.

"What do you mean?"

"This crazy woman covered in blood like lots of blood wanted to kill me" I said slowly. I really don't care if I sound crazy.

"Damn.... That's... Urm..... " A knock interrupted us. "I'll get it " she said as she walked towards the door.

She gasped which made me fly out of my bed.

"What's wrong?" I asked but she just pointed towards the door. There was a guy bleeding badly at our door.

"Help .. me..." The guy said and Elise locked the door behind him.

"Are you crazy? We don't even know him?" I said

"He's ... He's the guy that dropped me off" she said slowly

"You mean the guy you fucked last night?" She nodded and I sighed "well don't just stand there help me dammit" I know she wasn't good with blood but he's her visitor so.

∞. ∞ ∞

"So .. how did this happen? " Elise asked after I was done wrapping up his wound which was pretty deep. So... We'll still need a doctor.

"I don't know a crazy bitch just came out of nowhere and bit the shit out of my leg" the guy said slowly.

"And how do you know her room number?" I mean someone had to ask right?"

"I told him" Elise said

"Seriously? A guy you just met? What if he's a serial killer?"

"Stop being dramatic Eth... Besides we need to take him to the hospital" she said said

"Yeah no shit" I said "but I need to shower first "

After my long shower, I felt ok and whole. The head ache was gone and I felt all fresh and new. I took my phone and began to scroll through F******k. Then I saw it. I stopped scrolling and clicked on the article.

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON PARON ISLAND ?

IS THIS THE APOCALYPSE???

What the hell. I stopped and walked out of the bathroom. I quickly grabbed the tv remote. I began to flip through channels ignoring the weird look Elise was giving me.

"Are you ok?"she asked "we are supposed to be on our way to the hospital . Gary is badly wounded it's not the time for Ethel!" I ignored her and kept flipping through channels. They where all showing the same thing. 'Technical difficulties'.

"That's weird " I said and kept looking.

“ PARON island is going crazy !” a woman in her early 30s said and she looked scared as fuck. “ we don't know what is happening but there seems to be an outbreak of a rare disease. It makes people crazy and violent they tend to get too physical and it's advised that if you encounter any of the victims and the scratch or bite you .. Go to the closest hospital as soon as possible. It's highly contagious and everyone is advised to stay in doors ” the woman looks startled and confused “ oh .. urm .. yeah .... All means of transportation have been shut down the government are doing all they can to contain the disease" then the channel began to break. And the technical difficulties appeared on the screen.

"Ok so... Gary has to get to the hospital now before he turns crazy" as I jumped out of bed.

"Yeah but no transportation remember?" Elise said

"Fuck!" I ran my hands through my hair.

"I have a car" Gary said handing me his keys.

"Oh great let's go!"

I grabbed my coat and a bottle of beer . What? I need to relax and we headed for the door.
