I got out of the shower and saw the kids running around the house one after the other, my twins just know how to get ready, the boy is called Liam and the girl Ayla. It was a big surprise that they came into my life, in reality it was never my dream to be a mother.
After a lot of effort I put the kids to sleep, and went to work on my notebook for an important college exam, it was the final exam for me to definitely be a doctor.
But I hear shrill screams that could make my eardrums bleed, so I head straight to the balcony of the apartment, and see several people running through the streets, crowds in despair with mad attacks biting them over and over. I get desperate with that scene and go straight to lock the apartment door.
But I hear screams from the hallway, it seemed like a person was being attacked by a wild animal that had no mercy, with curiosity I look behind the peephole and the scene I saw made me very scared, I saw a woman with a mouth full of blood, and her eyes were white, i heard grunts coming from her, she was full of blood on her clothes a part of her neck was lacerated with a huge and exposed wound, i lock the door fast and put a table in front of her.
I hear my cell phone ring and I run to answer it.
"Viktor is you?" - I say desperate
"Yes my love, how are you?"- he says breathlessly, he looked like he was tired
" I'm fine but there are people in front of the building being attacked " - I say crying desperately
"Here it is too, the city is in chaos, turn on the TV and see what it says in the newspaper for me now "- I hear him on the other end of the line
Immediately I turn on the TV and put it in the newspaper, and what I see are horrifying scenes, where a journalist was attacked live and he gets up to bite more people, it looked like those zombie movies I saw in the movies that behavior.
" I see people being attacked, and it seems that everything is in chaos, journalists do not say much information, where are you? - I tell him what I see on television.
"I'm on the emergency stairs of the work building, I left there, don't stay in this place, you could be in danger with the children, find me in our vacation cabin in Teresópolis" - I hear him say, but I don't quite understand, how Will I pass that monster in the hallway?
"What do you mean, there's a woman attacking other people here in the hallway how am I going to get past her?" - I say thinking about the worst
"If necessary, you attack her, but don't let her bite you and the children don't understand? Just meet me there in Teresópolis, I leave there while there's time, take clothes, food, medicine, whatever is necessary, I promise I'll go meet you there "- he hangs up the phone
I turn off the TV, and run to my room to get my backpack, inside it I put two pieces of my clothes, a sneaker, and as much canned food as I had, I put water and separate a bag for the medicines.
I wear a pair of jeans, I put on a t-shirt and a hiking shoe, in another bag I separate two changes of clothes for Viktor, along with a hiking shoe too, inside his bag I put toilet paper, a flashlight along with a compass, if prevention is never too much is not it?
What am I supposed to do to get out of here with those monsters out there?
