Welcome to Gaia! ::

it all took place a couple of months ago, not sure exactly when for ive lost track of time now. anyways.. i woke up thinking it was a normal day. a normal day of getting ready and heading off to CTC. But something didn't feel right.. i left my room and went to take a shower. i still didnt hear Damien (little brother) getting up for school so i got out of the shower, quickly threw on some clothes, and checked the rooms. empty. where where they? Dad only goes to work at noon. I always drive Damien to school. Did dad take him? it was too early. where could they have gone? why didn't they tell me? i checked the clock to see if i saw it wrong and maybe overslept. no, 6:45. i got a little paranoid.. so i went back to my room to grab the phone and call my father. i heard a loud noise downstairs.. as if someone fell.. and some strange groaning. my heart began to pound. "DAD?? is that you?!" no answer.. "Damien?!" i cracked open my door, peeked out, and didn't see anything. "Sereena, suck it up and go downstairs", i said to myself. Standing at the top of my stairs i slowly creep down. stopped in the middle.. then.. what i saw standing in my kitchen. Without thinking i screamed, then it looked at me and its mouth began to ooze. I had never seen anything like this.. i ran into my room and locked the door. panicking, thinking of what to should do. whats going on? begining to wonder what happened to my father and brother. did this thing kill them? did they get away? either way i was left behind and alone. i heard footsteps coming up the stairs.. i had to think fast and worry later. i crawled out onto the balcony outside my room. the second floor isnt too high up.. i hung off the edge and let myself drop. i saw another one standing on my porch. the noise i made from falling got his attention and he headed toward me. i ran up the street a little but there seemed to be one at every house. i had no clue what was going on at this point. was i dreaming? all i knew is i had to get away. i ran toward the woods behind the development. it seemed like i was away from them.. for the time being. i climbed up in a tree, hoping they wouldent notice me up there. i was alone. now it was time to think..

everything was quiet. I got out of my car and headed towards the hardware store. i grabbed wrenches and crow bars and everything i could think to use as a weapon, then got the hell out of there. relief, i seemed to be away from them. one more stop till i can get out of this state. i drove to an empty, abandoned gas station, to fill up on gas and get some food to stock up on. nobody in here either.. ~am i last human on earth?...~ ~don't worry about that right now sereena just get going before you see more of the walking dead.~ i was prepared. time to head out. ~will i ever see another human again.~ so much was on my mind, so much worrying me. especially loosing my little brother and dad. i felt a constant pain in my heart, wondering if they're alive. will i ever see them again? i knew i couldn't worry about this right now. as i was driving by a farm i saw about 30 of them, they were feeding on the animals, it was gruesome and disgusting. they all look towards me, i speed up. heading north, theres no way they could have killed, or feasted, on everyone in new york. popular there is huge.. maybe theres some survivors. maybe this is the idea my father had. i had to find out.

the sun was going down. i was getting tired. would it be safe to sleep?.. just passing the sign saying im now leaving Pennsylvania. i figure sleeping in my car would be the safest. i have all my weapons with me. and if i sleep on the floor in the backseat where they wouldn't see me. what are the odds of them coming up to what looks to be just an empty car? and if they would, id have the time to either floor it, or get out and knock some brains out. i had to get off the highway first. they seem to be in town more than anything, i have to find an open place in the middle of nowhere. after driving for awhile i found a parking lot by a walking trail. seems safe enough. i close the windows, lock all the doors, turn off the car, and crawl into the backseat. covering up with a blanket, i feel safe for the first time.
