“Where are we going?” she asked him. While staring at the dried blood on her hands.
“Portsmouth! My wife and kids are there,” he replied.
Raven realized at that moment what must have been running through Gregg’s head.
“I’m sorry. Thank you, thank you for saving me,” she told him gently.
He glanced with a smile.
Helicopters and Chinooks flew overhead. Looking up, he could see they were destined for the naval base.
The roads were mayhem with people attempting to escape the chaos. They reached an archway of a bridge that ran over the road. Military vehicles blocked the road, soldiers armed with guns stood in front preventing anyone from exiting the town.
A soldier stood on top of a truck with a megaphone.
“PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR HOMES, THIS AREA IS NOW UNDER QUARANTINE. WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT YOU!” the soldier informed everyone.
Shouting and screams towards the soldiers continued. Gregg and Raven left the car and walked towards the soldiers.
Gregg showed his warrant card. “I need to get to my family,” he told them while trying to walk past. He was quickly pushed back.
Raven watched as he argued with the soldier, screams started to develop behind her. She turned to see zombies, swarms of them heading towards the living.
Gregg grabbed Raven’s hand and once again tried to push through the blockade. He stopped when a soldier aimed a gun at his head. “There is no escape!” the soldier shouted at Gregg.
As a mass of living attempted to get past the blockade, the soldiers began to open fire on them. Gregg dragged Raven away towards a metal fence; he looked over to see water that led out of the area.
“Can you swim?” he asked her.
Raven nodded her head.
Before he could respond the zombies were upon them, they ran further along the fence trying to get away. A zombie grabbed his arm and sunk its teeth into his flesh, tearing the muscle from his bones. As blood sprayed, he screamed in pain.
As Raven looked at him, Gregg shouted out, “RUN! RUN! RUN!”
Raven turned and ran. She reached the edge of the fence, looking down at the deepest water.
“RUN!” she heard Gregg scream again.
As the sun set, she climbed the fence, taking one last look around her. She could see the zombies tearing into the living, gunshots being fired, screams of help all around her.
Suddenly a zombie grabbed her shoe, she kicked off her sneaker making the zombie fall back and she jumped.
Disappearing into the dark water below.
IN JUST ONE DAY THE ZOMBIES KILLED OVER A MILLION PEOPLE.
WHAT WILL DAY TWO, WEEK TWO, MONTH TWO OR YEAR TO BRING?
SURVIVING WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
