Nikki Hyatt
Nikki was just leaving her Martial arts class. "See ya tomorrow." She said hugging her friend. Nikki heard a few screams but that wasn't entirely abnormal in the Los Angeles area. She was walking today. Her mother had her car in the shop so she had borrowed Nikki's for the day. Nikki couldn't complain too much her mother and father had given her the car for graduation a few weeks back.
Nikki was in an excellent mood. She had just been accepted to Julliard for her dancing. It had been her goal since she could walk. It's all she ever wanted and she could almost touch the doors to the school. Just remembering the acceptance letter made her giddy. Her MA instructor just told her that she was almost ready for her to teach the afternoon classes. Nikki was excited about that. She smiled. She loved watching the little ones take classes in MA. They always looked so cute doing it.
The screams jerked her out of her blissful state. She saw a huge car wreck just ahead and she assumed that was what all the screaming was about. Somebody must be in pretty gory shape she thought. When she got to the crash site there were two people who had been thrown from the car. Nikki had to walk by one of them. She ran over to the young man and turned him over on his back.
"Lay flat don't move the EMT's are on their way." Nikki stayed with him until his eyes closed. A moment later his eyes opened and he made this really aweful gurgling sound and he tried to bite her. Nikki jumped backwards and rolled down the ditch. She looked back up and the young man was already on his feet and biting horrified bystanders who after a couple of minutes began biting others.
Nikki didn't know what the hell was going on. She got up and ran to her house. Her car was there and the back door was open. Nikki went through the living room and came upon a horrific sight. The neighbor was eating Nikki's mother. She grabbed the sword off of the wall in the living room and decapitated the neighbor. Her mother's body began moving all on it's own and making that same noise. Nikki could only see blood, it was everywhere. Blood was on the walls, floor, furniture and it was on Nikki's future. She stabbed her mother in the head through a sea of tears. She hurried and shut the backdoor.
Nikki ran upstairs and packed a bag. She put in necessities, clothing, knives, her guy (gee for her MA) hairbrush, toothbrush and a few other things and Dad's handgun and box of ammo. Running down the stairs she avoided the living room and went to the kitchen. She grabbed snack things out of the pantry. She loaded up everything she could fit in her bag. She grabbed her tennis shoes and tossed them in her car with the rest of it.
She looked up at her neighborhood and there were people attacking each other all over the place. She saw the mailman biting on an already dead dog. Nikki was nauseated but fear is a good motivator and she got into her car and she had to run over the lawn because someone had pulled partially into the driveway and she was otherwise blocked.
Nikki couldn't think of anywhere to go that would be safe and closeby. She just decided since the streets were quickly becoming blocked by out of control accidents or vacated vehicles that she would go to her high school. She grabbed her stuff and locked her car. She went inside. She made sure she pulled the locks through the top of the doors. She pulled her cell phone out and called her brother.
He answered "Nikki where are you?" She could hear the panic in his voice. "Matt don't go home. Mom's dead. Is it happening there too?" She heard screams and crashing and he said, "Yeah, I'm on my way. Where are you?" "I'm at the high school. Matt I love you. Hurry."
