Chapter One: Jessica and Derrick

Derrick:

Derrick knew the zombies were coming, he worked at the lab, cleaning while the doctors ran experiments on some little girl, who's mother had claimed this disease was eating her alive. While one doctor was injecting a test cure into her neck, Derrick watched as she turned her head and bit him. They put the doctor into one quarantine room, and the girl in another. A couple days later, the doctor was taken over by the disease. The infection seemed to get stronger everytime it was passed on. The walls were concrete, but the infected doctor easily broke out of them. Not one person could find him. 


Weeks later, almost everyone in the town was infected. Derrick knew the instant that little girl came in, he needed to prepare. Before the outbreak, he quit his job and moved into an under ground home. He covered the entrance with bushes and other plants so no zombies could ever find him.

Meanwhile...


 Jessica was trying to find a brand new, high priced clothing shop she'd heard of. Little did she know, she wrote the wrong address down. She stopped at where it was supposed to be and looked around. "Where's the shoooooop..", She whined, tired of walking. She turned around in a circle, maybe she'd missed it, or it would magically appear. 

Jessica heard some sort of growling behind her and turned around. Some girl was covered in blood, running towards her. Jessica screamed. 
"Red is completely out of season!!", Jessica said, unaware this thing was a zombie. 
Suddenly, she was pushed out of the way by a stranger with a gun. She stared at him with wide eyes. 
"Don't shoot me!!", Jessica begged. The stranger wasn't aiming at her, but at the horribly dressed girl.

The stranger fired at the girl, and kept firing until the bullets entered the girl's head.

 Jessica screamed, afraid he'd ruin her pink outfit, nevermind killing her. 

"Come on!", He yelled at her and started running.
"But... where are we going?", Jessica said quickly walking after him in her heels. The stranger rolled his eyes. 
"Away from those... things.", He said and pushed some branches aside, revealing a hidden staircase. He looked back at Jessica. "Well come on.. unless you wanna be one.", He said. Jessica frowned. 
"I don't even know your name! And be one what?", She said turning her head to the side. The stranger sighed and held out his hand, quickly taking hers and shaking it. 
"I'm Derrick, those are zombies, and if you down get your butt down here we'll both be dead.", He said and ran down the stairs. Jessica followed after him. 

"Zombies?! You mean the people with the horrible clothes and makeup?", She asked. Derrick was irritated.
"Yes! Them!", He facepalmed. This was not going to be fun.
"You know.. you shouldn't hit yourself.", Jessica said and giggled. "They say it kills brain cells." 
"From what I can tell, you don't have many.", Derrick laughed.
