The Damn tap kept dripping at I tried to concentrate. I sighed as I tapped my pen anxiously on the table. The sound kept getting to me as the clock chimed loudly."Fuck!!!" I yelled as I slammed my journal shut. I stood up and walked to where the clock was and I took it and angrily ripped off the batteries."Chill doc" a familiar voice said behind me and I rolled my eyes."I'm being chill as possible Carter" I said walking back to my seat."Yeah sure" he chuckled as he walked to where I was and looked over my shoulder into my book." You know you haven't tried the test for today right?" He said which made me roll my eyes."Yes Carter I know and that's what I'm trying to do""By scribbling numbers?""How on earth are you a scientist again?" I asked and he chuckled."Well Goodluck Doc " he said as he walked out of the room. Sighing, I stood up and walked towards my drawer."Please work" I closed my eyes as I took out the syringe and walked to the door. I punched in the combination of the door and it buzzed opened. I walked towards the test subject and made sure it was well strapped in. I took the syringe and pressed it into the skin and I watched as the contents went into the subject."Oh please work" I said as I stepped back. 5minuites. I waited as I watched closely. 4 minuites and 30 seconds. I heard a grunt. The i watched as the subject began to shake. I ran out of the room and watched behind the glass as the subject shook and grunted. The relief I felt was surreal. I wanted to scream in happiness as I watched the subject's eyes begin to open ."Yes! Yes!" I said in delight but everything came to a stop. I sighed in pure frustration as I cursed beneath my breathe. I turned in defeat and walked back to my lab.Did I lock the door?. I guess I did.I took my jacket and walked out of the lab."Carter.. I'll be heading home" he lifted his head and pushed his glasses back."Another failed project huh?" I rolled my eyes."See you tomorrow Carter" I said as I walked out of the lab. As I walked, I could only see one thing. His face. Buzzzz.....Buzzzzzz..I slammed my hands on my side drawer as I sat up. Who the hell calls someone at... I looked at the clock on my side drawer. It's 2am. Oh my God."Hello" I said obviously pissed."Doctor.... Dakota... The project....the .." I heard a loud crash what the hell is happening"Carter!" I said but I kept hearing crashes and screams. What the hell!!. I jumped out of bed grabbed a coat and my keys and rushed out of my house. The lab was suspiciously quiet as I arrived. There were cars by the parking lot but no one was there. I quietly walked towards the building and opened the door. I nearly screamed from the sight before me.Everything was broken, trashed and disorganized. My while body froze as I looked at the floor. I walked into the first room and let out a gasp as I saw Otis my colleague covered in blood. Half of his face was chewed out and he insides where everywhere. I swallowed the vomit that rose in my throat as my eyes watered. What the hell happened.My whole body began to shake as I took more steps."Anyone....." I heard a low voice call. I quickly ram towards the voice and Carter was laying there half dead with his arm bleeding."Jesus Carter!!" I screamed as I looked at him. He looked pale very pale "oh my God..""Sh.... He will hear you.." he said slowly"Who?""The monster you created" he said with spite in his tone. "we warned you ..." He said"Carter I...""Emily Everyone is dead because of you " I began to cry."No I didn't...."Then I was sent flying to a wall. I screamed as my head collided with the strong wall behind me. I couldn't believe my eyes. My Husband was standing right in front of me covered in blood all rotten and with claws."John?" I said "it's me Emily..." Before I could say anything he let out a shrilling sound and everyone including carter began to grunt and walk towards me.t The where all dead but how... Unless... Zombies.He walked towards me and with a shrilling scream, he bit me on my neck and pulled out a judge chunk of meat. I couldn't feel the pain at all but then my vision began to turn red then all I could see was red.I suddenly became hungry and everything went red.Related chapters

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 whic

The ride to the hospital was bumpy. A lot of cars where driving passed us in high speed and a lot of shops where being broken into in daylight damn things where getting bad really bad. "Shit this is like a fucking movie" Elise said as she stared out of her window with her eyes wide open. Gary was trying hard not to fall asleep mainly because we begged him not to. He won't die on me not here at least if we are at the hospital. Not like in hoping he would die or anything but just not here. "I know right" I said "shit!" I cursed as I nearly ran into a man covered in blood. "Gary you alright back there?" I said. "Yeah...... I'm... Good...." He said obviously tired."Just try to stay awake" Elise said. The road was filled with people who where either running or dying? I'm not sure but everything was happening too fast. Huffing and puffing, we finally made it to the hospital. That was the longest 10 minutes of my life. My head was spinning and I'm sure my legs where gonna give up an

"Ethel!!!" I heard my name but I couldn't move. I felt my heart beat faster. "Eth!!!" The voice screamed over the noise but I still couldn't move. An arm wrapped around mine as I felt tugging "Eth we have to leave!" She dragged me as I stumbled a bit finally feeling my legs. The stairs was crowded. We couldn't use the elevators because they where shut down. Bullets where flying everywhere and we had to leave now. We ran down the stairs which wasn't easy at all as everyone was trying to evacuate the building. Elise was right in front of me as she let go of my hands."You have to keep up Eth!" She said as she ran with me behind her trying to catch up. The people in the first floor jumped up as we poured down running for the front door. They all jumped up alarmed as they also tried to run. I watched as a man crushed a little girl who was trying to run away and it wasn't a funny sight.I wish we never made it here. I know pointing fingers isn't right but this wasn't the best choice w

The place was very noisy which was getting really annoying. Like too annoying."We should've stayed in the hotel" I scoffed as I adjusted myself on the floor. "Yeah right... We would've ran out of food and supplies " Elise said and she was making so much sense it was getting more annoying."If you keep staring at them you'll definitely freak them out" Jake said which made my heart nearly leave my body because of how close he was to me. "I'm just looking at thier faces Incase one of them looks sick yunno" I shrugged "Yeah well you have to me more worried about getting robbed, raped, kidna..." "Hey ! Thanks alot I feel so much better now"I rolled my eyes and he chuckled. I watched as the workers passed around food in plastic bags for us to eat and my stomach grumbled happily "You must be really hungry" Elise said beside me "I'm so hungry too" "Yeah.... I'm really hungry" I took the plastic bag from the worker and thanks her as I opened it. There was a bottle of water ,a sandwich,

We walked through the football field as we tried to locate Lester's car. As we made way around court, like an alarm was rung, an army of sick people came pushing through every corner of the main building and they where coming straight for us. Lena let out a scream as we began to run." Fuck!!!" I screamed in frustration as I ran with the guys at my heels we ran as fast as we could but the sick people where faster than we imagine. "Shit they are fast" Elise screamed as she ran faster. Like the universe was totally mad at me, I tripped on my own foot and fell face down."Ethel!" I heard my name being screamed as I tried to get myself up. I pushed myself up but I was pushed down as a heavy weight fell on me. Damn those things stink. I heard the gnashing of teeth and the snarling close to my ears which wasn't a pleasant sound at all. My elbow collided with it's face as I used my legs to kick it off me. Elise then grabbed me by the collar and pulled me towards her. I then managed to g

"we don't want any trouble " Lester said as he turned and looked at me. I shifter nervously as I tired my best not to talk. I mean there's a gun to my head. "I don't want any trouble either so do not move" the man said."What did you do to the others" Lester asked. "What others?" The man said looking very confused. "It's only you guys I saw so far" he said. "Names". The man demanded. He's really strict."My name is Ethel and this is Lester" I said looking from the man to Lester."we really mean no harm. We actually came here to get some supplies" The man eyed us thoroughly before he lowered the gun."Be careful where you walk into" the man said and I nodded. "We are really sorry we didn't know someone was in here" Lester said damn I was still shaking. "Well I'll strike a deal" the man cracked a smile and I gulped. I hate deals. " What deal"Lester looked confused."You'll take us with you" what?"What?" Yes I think he read my mind there "we don't have a destination" Lester said a

With Moe as the lead we walked into the store slowly. We looked around at the dark store only lighted by the ray of sun coming through the window. The shelves looked untouched and it made it easier to walk through.I kept my ear out for any sound Incase there where sick people in here. But the only sound I could hear was our footsteps. "Let's split up to make it out faster" Lester said and we all picked places and went to pack supplies. I chose the drugs and other hygiene cubicle. I'm sure Elise would be shy to pick tampons but me... Oh well. I picked extra toothbrushes, some towels, soaps and some face masks. What? I'm looking forward to looking good. I peeked to the other side and saw Elise also picking soaps and some shampoo. So I picked some bandages, antiseptics, aspirin and some other drugs. Filled two baskets in total as I made my way around the shelves to find Elise. I heard a weird sound coming from behind the shelves. It sounded like snapping but I ignored it and kept w

"I miss mom" Elsie said as she leaned her head on my shoulder. She helped me clean my healing wound and we were in our room just staring at the world. With no TV, and quarantined in a house with a bunch of strangers teaching you how to shoot guns and survive on deer and rabbits, trust me you'll stare at the wall at your leisure time. "I miss her too El and I also miss dad" she shrugged as she fell on the bed. " Whatever" she sighed "You still hate the man?" I chuckled as I laid down beside her. " We both know you hate him too" "Well.... I don't make it so obvious " "Well I'm sorry if his presence makes me want to puke""You're so dramatic " I laughed and she laughed with me."It's been so long since I've cracked a smile" she took a deep breath."I know right.... It's been so long" I looked at the ceiling damn... If we keep going like this we'll definitely loose our minds."Do you ever think of looking for a cell booth and contact mom?" Elise asked "You know that's impossible "

A tear dropped from my eyes as I smiled at the letter. Elise left me a letter I just couldn't think of how awesome that was . My hands shook as I folded the paper and looked at the map over and over again. I was so happy I couldn't think straight. I stuffed the paper at my back pocket as I hurriedly went to the door with my hands full. I ran towards the car which was now swarming with zombies. Carlos was shooting as I got to the car. I think I helped him by drawing the attention to myself because Carlos was able to shoot ten at once but more where coming. One was so close to Carlos I had to drop the things I got cause my hands where really full. I ran straight towards the zombie and bashed it's head in with my bat which was underneath my pits. It made a weird gurgling sound and fell down jerking with ugly rotten blood gushing out of it's head. I got above it and kept bashing it's head till it stopped moving. Sighing, I wiped my forehead with the sleeve of my shirt and looked at Carl

I woke up to the sound of screaming from downstairs. Lena was beside me."I was about to wake you up" she said "I think something is happening to Mr Carlos and Abby has been crying" she said .," Go stay with her I'll find out what's going on" I said as I stood up.. I walked down the stairs and I was welcomed with people's scream .I could see Amanda at the front trying to calm the crowd. "Carlos murdered Tim!" An elderly woman screamed."He has to leave " "Yeah!!!" The crowd chorused and I began angry how dare they. "Stop!!" I screamed as I got closer. "y'all are here screaming but you don't know shit! Carlos' wife was taken hostage by The men Jason led here to kill you guys. Innocent lives where lost and now Carlos is the bad guy?" They all went quiet as they looked at who'll talk. "But he still killed someone we don't feel safe around him he has to leave" a woman with thick black hair spoke up "No need to worry I and my daughter are leaving first thing tomorrow morning" I di

Carlos pacing was starting to get annoying that it made me hungry. Greg brought me a bottle of orange juice as we all waited for Jason to arrive. We barely said a word to each other cause the air was tight Savannah was just biting her nails as she looked around. She seemed restless and I felt she knew something we didn't. "So.... What do we do?" Greg whispered. "I don't know Greg " I said as I looked at Carlos angry face. " Things will really get bad if Jason shows up Carlos is too mad " Amanda was right his eyes where clouded with anger." Maybe if Jason comes, we should tie him up or just restrain him and try to get Carlos to calm down. Before he does something" I said and Greg nodded. ." I have some ropes " Greg said " If you get the ropes we'll need you at the front door for when he arrives and you'll grab in from behind while I stall him" and he nodded "Great let me go grab the ropes" Greg said and I nodded. Savannah watched us with suspicious eyes as Greg went to the d

The next wasn't any easier. We woke up very early and began to move the dead zombies so we could burn them. A lot of people kept complaining about the weight but I just did what I could so that I could leave right away. The sun was already up when we finished moving the bodies and I was very tired I needed a nap. After a shower, I took a nap and woke up very late in the evening when it was raining heavily. I sighed as I looked outside ."Dammit" I said I overslept and now we where stuck one more night. "Ethel..are we staying here?"Lena asked. We where eating dinner. "Well it's too late and the rain isn't helping " she nodded. "don't you want to stay here?" "I like it it's good but we need to find Lester" i sighed and nodded. I had totally forgotten she also had someone to find. We needed to move by tomorrow I just hope we find. The night sky was clouded with rain clouds and the stars weren't visible at all. I couldn't sleep at all so I sat by the window staring into the dark

I woke up to the sound of shuffling. I looked around in severe panic as I looked at Lena's side. She was awake and she looked at me. "Ethel....... what's going on" she said looking as confused as I was. "I don't know kiddo let me check" I stood up and peeped out of the window. I saw a lot of people down shooting at some zombies which were approaching in a herd . I immediately ran to my bag fishing out my gun. It was loaded and ready to go. "Stay here and keep your head down" she looked like she wanted to say something but she just nodded. I bursted out of the room and I ran towards the stairs. I stopped when I spotted Amanda. At the bottom of the stairs. "Where are you going" she said and I just pushed passed her."Well I'm going to take those things out " I said and I ran out. I nearly laughed at the way they where shooting. They where just wasting bullets. They stood too far from the zombies and moved back when they got closer. I sighed as I ran back inside. I'm sure there
Project Dakota: Rising of the dead Chapter Eighteen
We've been cooped up in this house for a week now and I was starting to go crazy. Apart from the reoccurring nightmares about that day. The day I stabbed someone to death the day I watched a man struggle as he took his last breath. Lena usually tells me about my sleep talking every morning. We decided it was finally time to get more ammo. And I thought it would be nice to return to the shop we went first where we found Moe and Kayla. I was presently seated on the floor next to Lena who was sleeping soundly. We already planned on going to the shop the next day and I was having a hard time trying to sleep. The next morning came in a rush. I packed most of the things the night before since I couldn't sleep. By the time we where done, the car trunk was full. I looked back at the house it really saved us. Lena was already in the car when I got in." You ready kiddo?" Lena nodded as I started the car. I hit reverse. Zombies that I haven't noticed started walking out of thier hiding

I stopped as my heart began to pound heavily in my chest. I took in a deep breathe as I faced Michael. He had a sinister smirk on his lips as he looked deep into my eyes. I flexed his exposed tattooed biceps as he watched me. " Wow.,... The world is really a small place" he said and my heart beats increased. I wasn't even worried about myself all I could think about was Lena. If anything should happen to me she'll be all alone and I doubt that kid would survive I have to do everything I can to get the hell out of here."Are you following me?" I asked and his chest vibrated with his laughter building up. "Oh please...... And come to think of it you didn't say a word through out our encounter I actually thought you where a mute brave little girl" I scoffed as I watched him smirk "and you really really showed me how brace you are dear " there was something in the way he said it that made my heart sink. I had to think fast cause just standing and having a stare of with him won't do me

I peered down at Lena as I saw her bloody hands. She looked really scared and I know she was in a lot of pain. I then carried her as fast as I could into the house as I set her down. I began to rummage through our medical supplies. I found a bottle of peroxide and some cotton balls but I know I wasn't ready to stich just yet well I hope it doesn't need stitches.She was crying softly when I returned and my heart sunk. "Here swallow this it will numb the pain "I said as I passed her some pain killers and sleeping pills. She down them at once and I waited for a few minutes and yhup she fell asleep.I used the scissors to cut through her shirt. The wound wasn't deep to require stiches and heart beat lessened a little. I shifted the fabrics and dipped the cotton into the peroxide. I cleaned around the wound and then poured a little in it to avoid any infection and we were out of antibiotics so I had another trip to make but this time alone. I wrapped her wound and carried her to the r
Project Dakota: Rising of the dead Chapter Fifteen
The people who lived in the house left a lot. There where clothes few snacks and lots of water. The medical kit was all stacked up and it made everything easier. But the only problem was that maybe the food was expired because I doubt they left not too long. "I found some clothes" Lena announced as she put on long sleeved shirt which looked a little bit big but she pulled it off. I guess the kid was a little older than her. I walked into the master's bedroom and fished out some clothes mostly dresses tho. Which was starting to piss me off then I found some trousers and overalls. We had to change cause especially me, smelt like decayed corpses"Look I found a radio" Lena said and I sighed as I took it from this was the only time I felt a little ounce of hope. We began to tune it but it was just news about the emergency situation. "Looks like that's the last channel" I said as I slumped my shoulder. Lena did same " Maybe we'll hear it soon?" "Yes Lena ..but for now.. let's get thi
