1 The beginning of the end

The day started off just as ordinary as any other day, so how could any of us have known that the world was about to end? The day the world ended was a warm and sunny Monday. I was currently in my high school situated in Brackenfell. My class mates and I were minding our own business, casually listened and learned about things during our grade 12 History lesson.

That's when it happened...

What caught my attention first was the fact that most of the parents started pulling up to the front gate of the school, even though it was only the 5th period of the day. They surrounded the security guards hut with stressed out body languages and muffled voices. It was strange and my gut instantly knew that something was wrong. My teacher and the rest of the students in my class began to acknowledge the ruckus and lots of worry stirred in their eyes and to be honest worry was stirring up in me too ND I could feel it as my chest grew tighten and my palms became sweatier.

the reason for the worry was because of this mornings news.

Main story:

Women of science works for the government to create a formule that can turn humans immortal gone wrong and starts the apocalypse leading to world end.

Apocalypse? i always thaught of it as no big deal and my friends and I always made jokes about who we would kill off first, never actually considering that it might take place one day, but now...

The government was always causing issues in our world and it serves them right for keep things secret from us.

Funny enough, it wasn't the first test subject that became the first zombie. The first subject actually died but was later examined for research purpose to find out why it hadn't worked and so it was actually the scientist examining the body that caught his finger on one of the kanines of the first test dummy that was the first to turn into a zombie.

From what I would suggest that happened is that the serum had turned into a spreadable disease that was stuck on the first testers teeth and once it entered the blood stream of the examinor, it went straight to the brain which then affected the rest of the bouery functions to be be both alive and dead and both all at the same time, henne causing...

ZOMBIES!

This all took place in Durban which is why I found it strange that the parents had arrived at school and pretty much tried to bang our gates down.

Then I saw it.

Down the road from where our parents were standing was a black cloud of dust that hovered in one place and the second that the parents acknowledged it's presence and started to panic, it began to take a solid form with a thin paper white figure along with pieces of flesh that dangled from its face.

Our parents weren't trying to get us out. They were screaming to get in.

The Guard noticed the Shredder along with the rest of the parents and instantly pressed the button that opens up the gate to the school and rushed out of his hut and made a run for the school main entrance as fast as he could, but the Shredder was too fast and surpassed all the other adults to get to him, toppled him over and took a big chunk out of his back with those razor sharp teeth it possessed. The adults stopped in their tracks as they watched they original Shredder stand up with it's new buddy by its side. the teens in my class knew better than to scream, or else it would come for them, but the truth was that it was going to come for us whether we like it or not.

The parents began to run the other way as the Shredder and its buddy chased after its 5-star meal. soon my school was going to be over run with Deadoes and I wasn't about to let that happen. I ran out of my classroom as my teacher silently protested and ran to get the things out of my locker and ran past a classroom that had one of my guy best friends, Damian in it. He ran out after me, and we stopped in out tracks and he asked, "What's the plan here, Mira?"

"Get the others and meet me at the back gate. Its butt whooping time," I said and he nodded in understanding and ran off in the opposite direction in order to get the rest of the squad together as I continued my pursuit to my locker to pack up my gear. After a few minutes, we all met up at the back gate of our school. the crew consisted of Damian, Gerhard, Zandre, Nell, Tammy, Nicole, Domonique, Chloe, Danielle and myself. All 10 of us in one place made for a pretty kickass group that would wipe out every single one of the Shredders out with ease.

But it didn't end that way.

We narrowly escaped with our lives that day and soon we all split apart from each other thinking that each of us would do better on our own. I still think of them and hope that they are still alive, but since then we haven't kept in contact with each other, mainly because there were no more phone towers that were still standing.

It's been 5 weeks since the incident and no one has found a way to end it. I just hope someone does soon. Damian and Gerhard were the only ones that stuck with me over that last couple of weeks and we have a lot of fun staying up on the roof of Canal Walk and shooting down Deadoes and we also managed to figure out how the movie station works, so we can play anything in 3D IMAX, except we have to make sure that nothing is in the cinema with us and make sure to lock all the doors leading into the cinema.

The only downside is that the food goes off and everything is powered by electricity and there hasn't been power for just over two weeks and gas was scarce even before the end of the world, so we make do with bugs and chocolate and Macdonald burgers, because we all know that those never go off. We also found and ice cream machine that works off of batteries, so that's always a plus and to make it even better, there is a Mr. Price Home with a whole bunch of beds too. Always a comfy sleep in the apocalypse.

We found a weapons store on our first night here and used different guns to kill the Deadoes that were there the night we moved in, just to test out which gun was the best for each of us. I have swords and assassin blades, Damian has two guns and long knives and Gerhard has all the big guns and hand grenades for the fun of it. we gave each other code names to tell to other teenage survivors when we find any, that is. Mine is Captain, Gerhard is Gunman and Damian is dead-man, because he always gets himself into stupid situations that I'm surprised he isn't dead yet, but overall the end of the world isn't that bad for us, but its also far from over
