The Darkness, Sabrina Royal [reading cloud ebooks TXT] 📗

worries of being paralyzed from hunger was always constant in her mind. Though, she needed to check something. Something before her strength gave away. Sluggishly moving to the bedroom, she crumbled over the bed and turned over on her back. Looking up, she looked at the ceiling. Twenty seconds passed and as she continued to stare up ahead, she realized that this wasn't her imagination. Does imagination last this long? She didn't think so.

On the ceiling was writings that said No way to escape. The undead will come. All die. Death to humanity!
It was written in small words, but it was there.

"It seems the old man knew..." she whispered hoarsely for she hasn't used her voice in several months and almost forgotten the sound of it.

Fixing her sight on anything but the ceiling, she turned to gaze out the window. A mysterious white flash appeared. It looked to be the front lights of a vehicle.

"Vehicles haven't roam in the house since I been here. " she said weakly and coughed. Her couch was a painful sound that caused her to heave in loads of air.

" I think I am dying..." Her coughing continue and she felt something wet on her lips. Raising her hand slowly, she dabbed her thin fingers on her mouth and looked at them. It was blood! She was coughing up blood.

A smile portray on her lips.
" I guess it is my time to die..." she said and closed her eye.

"Goodbye...I have no more strength to fight." With that being said, Bri's soul passed away.


Chapter 12: The End

Ten minutes passed and two policemen walked into the bedroom. They looked around and survey the areas.
"It seemed somebody lived here once."
"What made you say that?" Police Dan said.
"Well..." he walked over to the fire place and expect the logs. "There is still warm heat coming off of these logs."
"That could be anything, you know."
"I know, but lets continue looking through the house."
"Alright." said Dan and they both walked around the house. The kitchen seems to have many empty and open can of what looked to be vegetables and peaches.
"You see here, Dan. Somebody was here eating. With food like this, they won't have enough vitamins to be strong. They would need more proteins and iron."
"They probably dead by now with food like this."
"Maybe..." said Police Sullivan who carefully put his hand on his gun that was resting against his hip and walked calmly to the bedroom.
"Just in case, you be on the other side of the door."
"Gotcha"
They slowly tensed up their body, awaiting anything that could still be lurking inside. With one of their foot, they used it to kicked open the door. Police Dan went inside first and raised his gun around calmly and Sullivan followed second.

"Look like there is nothing dangerous here but a young lady." he said and raised his hand to addressed Gabriella that was laying dead and staring at the window with a faint smile on her face.
"Jesus! How long has she been dead?" Sullivan said and walked quickly over her to touch her pulse. "I'll say less than a hour."
"We were too late. If we were here earlier, we could had rescue her."
"Don't beat yourself up, Dan. Maybe if we did come faster, we would had saved her or maybe she would had died along the way."
"Yeah. It just sucks that she didn't know that in the first three weeks of the zombie invasion, the government had quarantine Connecticut and used soldiers to go through and killed the creatures. Also a vaccine had been given out and people were now healthy."
"I forgot, Sullivan, what caused the zombies?"
"It was all the pollution in the area. It seems that the toxin from factories, fires, smoke, and drugs was the most heaviest in our area and it sprayed into our water systems. Those who drunk the water early in that morning was poisoned and changed."
"God, that's scary." said Dan and his eyes lowered over Gabriella's form. She was beautiful, he thought. She could had made a perfect prom queen if life didn't become like this for her.
"Yeah, but she didn't know. She hid in the country side that wasn't touched by zombies. She was safe, but her isolation is what killed her."
Both of them turned their head to the window where a peak of sun was finally making it way through the black cloud.
"May her soul rest in peace..." Sullivan whispered.
