“Leroy!” Mom shouted, she sounded frightened and worried. It was nighttime in Tacoma, Washington the moon was out it was just a really creepy night. Leroy sat up in his bed and walked to his bedroom door and opened it his mom was standing there she was shaking.
“What’s wrong mom?” He asked kindly, It was just him and his mom since his father and older sister moved to Canada because of his job. Leroy mom decided she wanted to stay in Washington so his parents are not separated they just live different places because of good jobs. It kind of irritated Leroy and his sister Anne , Ann with and ‘e’.
“You know how in seattle there are dead people walking around?” She asked, he nodded,” I just saw some outside our house just now,”
“Mom really, did you really see them or is this one of your hallucinations again?”
“I’m Not-”
A crash came from down stairs and then a moaning came.
Leroy jumped, he walked over to his window and looked outside his window and saw them they were Zombies. He and his friends have always joked about how there may be a Zombie apocalypse, sadly though this was real and he was scared at what might come in the near future.
“What should we do?” Leroy asked quickly as he heard a Zombie start climbing the staircase. Where they lived was in the ghetto area so he wasn’t sure many people would be willing to help them out, they might as well be shot or bitten and killed by a Zombie.
“I don’t know ,” His mom squeaked, his mom walked inside his room pushing him back into the room and shut the door quietly so that it wouldn’t attracted attention to them. Leroy sighed and then started thinking what should they do they were surrounded by Zombies, were they as good as dead or could they escape? He didn’t really know and this irritated him; he could usually find a way out of any situation that’s why his mom came to him. Leroy didn’t like failing his mom or anyone, but he was only one twelve year old.
“I don’t know either mom,” He said weakly, he looked outside again. Wait... He smiled there was a way out the roof of the house was near the ground they could jump, but wait his mom she was pregnant with his little brothers she was already big could she fit through the window sill? They would have to try , He was just glad his mom was in good shape. “Ok, here’s my idea, we came climb out the window sill and jump down and then run, are you able to do that?”
His mom rubbed her stomach and then nodded,” Let’s hope this works,”
Leroy quickly put his tennis on and then his basketball shorts and a black t-shirt, He looked over his mom she had a similar outfit she obviously was thinking ahead she always seemed to do that he wasn’t sure how, but she did.
Leroy smiled and then slid the window up, his mom went out first his instructions. He grabbed his cell phone and charger and shoved that into his pocket and put his apple laptop in a backpack along with some other items. It was still light enough for him to easily run.
He went out the window himself and closed it just as his door was broken into by two Zombies, puke foamed out of their mouths which made him almost want to puke himself. The Zombies looked like they had been zombies for along time like when this actually started That was three months ago.
Leroy jumped down and helped his mom down, they both sprinted down the street.

Gordon was half asleep when someone knocked on the door, he sat up and got out of bed then walked over to his bedroom door. He opened it and what stood there woke immediately, it was a zombie. Its eyes were red were looking down at him. Gordon was too slow to react so the Zombie grabbed at him, he flinched and then kicked the Zombie in stomach slammed his door collected some precious items opened his window and climbed out. He knew his mom was already dead because he heard her scream and then it died when he climbed out the window. He jumped from the roof and landed in a crotch, he stood and sprinted. As he ran he pulled out his Iphone and called Leroy one of his closest friends.
‘H’ hello,” Leroy huffed trying to catch his breath.
“I take it you had a run in with a zombie,”
‘Heh, more like five, but who's counting,’ Leroy laughed,’do you have anyone with you?’
“No, mom was already taken so was my dog and dad,”Gordon said, and right now he was glad Leroy made him do track with him every day.
‘Where are you?’
“A mile away from my house, no Zombies chasing me what about you?”
‘No, but my mom is tired,’
“meet you at the park?”
‘Sure I’m there?’Leroy said and ended then call.
Gordon was glad his friend, was still alive and was smart enough to bring his cell phone. He was also surprised that his mom was still alive, but he was also super glad about that too. He had always like Leroy’s mom she had always been kind to him.
As Gordon ran on he started to think of an idea of what they should do once they got together, they had to stay together somehow. Though they had electronics it wasn’t going to fight Zombies even if they didn have them, they needed food and money right now , and weapons or head out of the states, but how good would that be for them? There was a Zombie attack in Japan three weeks ago and then another one in Russia. The Zombies were taking over the world, only adults were really being taken.
Gordon was glad he was twelve so that he wouldn’t easily get the disease unless bitten or scratched though it took a week for you to actually get turned. completely. Gordon and Leroy had been friends since they were born because their parents knew each other for a really long time. Leroy was a week older than Gordon.

When Leroy saw Gordon run toward them he smiled, they were always really good friends and looked out for eachother.
“Gordon,” He said as his friend came up to him, they embraced into a hug.
“Leroy, I am so glad you’re not dead,” His friends exclaimed, they smiled. Leroy looked over at his mom, she was holding her stomach.
“I am too, mom what’s wrong,” Leroy asked
“They’re coming!” his mom whispered, as two Zombies appeared two miles away. Leroy had always really good vision for some reason that also let him see in darkness as light as day. He also had crazy hearing and sense of smell.
“Oh, no!” He said, He looked at his mom who was beginning labor. What a great timing , he glanced around. “ I have string, mom you’re a doctor, give me some tips,”
She weakly smiled and shook her head, “ Leave now!”
“No!” He shouted, He pulled his mom up and they all started running again he hoped his mom could last for just a bit longer.

They found a house and knocked on it.
“Yes,” A girl opened the door.
“I’m Leroy, may we please come in,” he asked quickly, the girl looked at the three of them then nodded. “ Do you have a parent here?”
“Yes, My mom,”
“Please ,tell here that we need her help,” He said and he shut the door and locked it. Gordon helped his mom to the couch. The girl could tell it was ergent so she ran up stairs and quickly came down with her mom.
“Annie?” The girls mom said as she saw Leroy’s mom.
“Lucy,” His mom said.
“Mrs., My mom is ready to have the twins can you please help?” Leroy asked kindly. Lucy looked to Annie and acted fast she helped her into the kitchen and then the process started, Gordon and the girl were kicked out of the kitchen, but Leroy was able to stay.
It was an hour later when his mom gave birth to the twins, one of them though was dead the other was alive.
There was a crash like shattering glass.
“ No,” Leroy whispered, he heard the girl and his friend scream then a dying cry from each one.
“Leroy take him and leave please, leave!” his mom shouted giving her baby to him.
“Bu-”
“Leave!” mom shouted.
With tears in his eyes he took his unnamed baby brother and stood then ran out the back door into the woods not really thinking about what was going to happen.

Twelve years later

Drew was sitting on his favourite spot at the bunker his older brother and him shared, along with some other kids. His brother was named Leroy, he saved him when he was born his brother never kept anything from him. So he knew that he was a twin, but that twin was dead, and his mom was killed in a zombie attack. He looked about the streets, the spot he liked most was the top of the building that they stayed in. His brother was the leader of the group and he himself was to Co leader, They both looked very similar, They both had short cut white hair, strange green eyes that pierced the darkness and tan skin. Leroy was 6.5 and Drew was 5.4. They were both tall, but they looked young for their age although they were tall.
“Drew anything?” Leroy called as he climbed the steps to the roof, and looked around. Drew smiled and shook his head.
“Nothing,I think it may be safe to go hunting,” Drew said, his brother nodded and walked to the edge he looked down.
“You’re right, we’re running out of food for the others and ourselves,” He sighed closing his eyes, he turned his head up to the blinding sun.
“Yeah thats what I thought, anyway I thought I could go hunting this time with my group,” Drew suggested, Leroy turned his eyes on his
