Chapter One

   It didn't start slow and it wasn't something that could be controlled. The outbreak was something way worse than anything could have ever predicted. It left you cold and heartless. It happened when a Spanish explorer ended up dying on a excavation site for Aztec ruins, as his body was being shipped back they heard screaming coming from the casket and rushed to open it. One bite, scratch, or flesh wound that gets their DNA in, and you are one of them. 

   "Mali you better hurry! Today is the big day!" I yelled, the sound of my feet running down the stairs had her jumping off the couch and smiling. We got to go to the beach, for the first time. Grabbing the keys and my bag I opened the door and saw a man running down the road screaming with a man chasing behind him.

   "Mara is that blood?" Mali's soft voice whispered behind me, turning i saw her wide eyes staring at something else. Looking i saw a large black man with a hole in his shirt and blood seeping out. He was coming for us.

   "Mali run to the car!"
