 Apocalypse 

(An Emily and Kieran one-shot)

Kieran P.O.V.

The bunker had very little light, just me and my girlfriend keeping safe. I could barely see my hand in front of my face, but I knew she was next to me. Because we were huddled close, and I felt her shake in my arms. "Are you cold baby?" I asked her. "No, I'm just terrified, what if we're the only ones left?" She whispered, tears streaming down her pretty face. "I know, babygirl, I'm scared too. I don't know for sure, if we're the only ones left. But I do know, we're safe in here." I reassured her, wiping her tears away with my thumb. There was a banging on the walls, and Emily squeaked in fright. I just held her closer to me, wrapping my arms tightly around her. The banging went away, and we took a breath of relief for the time being. Emily's stomach growled, and I looked at her sympathetically. Our food supply ran out five days ago, and we were starving. "I'm so hungry." She said, holding her stomach in pain. "Me too babygirl, I wish we could go get some. But not with that hoard out there." I said. But then my stomach growled too, and it was painful. "But if we're going to survive, we need food to keep our strength up!" Emily said. "You're right, we need to figure out a way to get some food, without being bitten." I said, racking my brain for an idea. "I think, I've got it!" I said. "What if we pretend to be zombies? That way the hoard will think we're one of them, and they won't bite us!" I said to Emily. "It's worth a shot!" She said, perking up. Using what we had, we made ourselves look more like zombies. Then we practiced the zombie the voice, and the zombie walk. Once we were confidant we could fit in, we slowly opened the bunker, and stepped outside. The town was a wasteland, so much destruction and fires everywhere. It was devastating. But Emily and I persisted. We made our way, through the wreckage moaning and limping like zombies as we went, when we cam across a store that was still mostly in tact. We carefully slipped inside, luckily there were no zombies in there. "Okay, let's find some food." I whispered to my girlfriend, taking my hand in hers. We stocked up on our favourtie foods, and grabbed some more water while we were at it. We loaded everything up, in an abandoned shopping cart, then carefully made our way back to the bunker. "BRAINNNNSSSS" We heard someone say, and I slowly turned my head. It was Trevor from Torn Apart! He was infected! "Oh no! Not Trevor!" I said, staring at my friend heartbroken. I couldn't dwell too much on it though, because we had to make it back to the bunker before we were turned. We quickened our pace, still remembering to keep our charade up. Eventually we made it back to the bunker, and I was struggling to get the door open. The doors were really heavy, and I was giving it all I had to push them open. But I was so weak from hunger, that the doors just wouldn't budge. Emily offered me a granola bar, with a sweet smile. "Thank you baby." I said gratefully, as I ate it. I felt better after the little snack and managed to pry the doors open. "AHHHH!" I heard Emily scream behind me, and when I saw what was wrong, panic rushed through my body. Just inches from Emily was a zombie! "Get in the bunker now!" I shouted at her. "I can't leave you out here!" She cried, holding on to my hand. "You have to!" I said, looking her straight in the eyes. The zombie lundged at her, and I stepped in between them. "GO!" I screamed at her. With terror, and tears in those beautiful eyes of hers, she mouthed the words "I Love You" Then ran to the bunker. "Okay, you undead freak, come and get me!" I said to the zombie. I picked up an old metal pipe, I found on the ground, and swung it at the monster. But the creature, grabbed hold of it, and flung me forward. I landed with a thud, and looked up at the beast. "BRAINNNSSSS" it moaned out, as it pounced on me. I struggled to get free, but it was no use. The zombie bit down on my arm, so hard I saw stars, and cried out in pain. "KIERAN!" I heard Emily shriek. I saw the zombie stalk toward her, while I was still somewhat human, I ran after it. "Lights out, walking dead!" I said, striking the zombie over he head, and shattering it's skull. "Emily!" I said, walking up to her. "Listen I don't have much time, I can feel the virus taking over my body. I just wanted you to know, I love you more than anything. You have made my life better, and meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me." I said. "I want you to get to safety, and when this is all over, I hope you can start a new life." I said. I kissed her hand, and bid her farewell, before the virus spread to my brain. 

Emily P.O.V.

I watched in tears, and horror as I saw my boyfriend become a zombie right in front of me. First his skin turned grey, then his eyes become a blood red, and he grew hunched over, his limbs became limp. The final stage was, the groan he let out. "BRAINS!" He uttered from his mouth. "Oh Kieran." I whispered under my breath. Then a thought occured to me. I ran over to him, and put my hands on his shoulders. "If I can't be alive with you, then let me be undead with you." I said, as I held out my arm for him to bite. It didn't take long for the infection to set in, after he bit me. "I love youuuuu." I groaned out. "I love you toooo." He groaned back. Both zombies now, we kissed. In the destruction, in the flames, we embraced each other in our new forms. True love radiating off of us. 

The End
