After she reached the hospital. She hurriedly told Luke to get him discharged. Luke was worried but still accepted he knew why she was hurriying them. After discharge they sat in the car and left. Shawn was frightened and asked "What happened? "
Alicia drove as fast as she could and answered "It's early. "
Luke became serious and asked "You mean you saw something? "
Alicia nodded. Luke shut up at this and kept a watch outside. Allister had already told him the details. Shawn looked at both of them being serious and decided to stay silent. The storm grew heavier and scarier. When they reached the mansion. Alicia left the car in the drive way and entered the house. After entering she sat went to the basement and brought out two guns. After coming out she handed one to Luke and told him to join her. She left and surrounded the area. She had hurried in the fit of the moment but now she came out just to confirm if what she had seen was true. She had been halucinating since her rebirth. On the way Luke surveyed outside and asked "so what are we looking for? "
"Blue skin, red eyes and robotic walk? It can be both an animal as well as a human. " Alicia replied looking outside seriously. The mansion was in a semi-urban area. So the houses were far apart. The area also had patches of dense vegetation. The car drove at a considerable pace. When suddenly something jumped out of nowhere. The car hit it and it fell afar. The car halted. Luke was about to get out when Alicia stopped him.
"Look at the eyes" She pointed out.
Luke looked towards the eyes and sure they were different. They weren't just red but were glowing. Luke became a bit scared. The body stayed quiet for a bit and then jumped over the car screaming and biting at it. It scrached and hit trying to break the windshield. Luke fell back. He was shocked. Till now he was unsure of how much of his cousin's words were true but now it seemed real and much more horrific.
"What should we do? The dog it's attacking us. "
He looked at Alicia. Alicia replied seriously "Don't move. Stay quiet. It depends on hearing. "
The animal stopped it's action. It stayed quiet for a bit and then shrieked. It's shrill voice spread throughout the area.
Alicia became worried. She put her hands on the steering. She pressed on the accelerator to speed up and suddenly breaked. The animal was pushed far away. Seeing the opportunity and hurriedly turned the car and drove away. She sped the car as fast as she could. Luke couldn't speak a while and then asked "What was that? ".
Alicia answered " A snowy"
Luke asked fearfully "Are we safe now? "
"For now. Yes but not untill we reach home. " Alicia replied.
Luke sighed in relief and asked "Isn't it a weird name for such a creature? "
Alicia looked at him and gave a look saying "Are you serious? "
When they reached home they Luke slowly sat down before the door.
Alicia stood there seeing his state. Hearing the sound the others came out as well. Seeing him like this Allister asked her worriedly. "What happened? "
"Snowy!" Alicia said seriously. Allister's face became serious at this. He went to her and held her tight.
Alicia was not scared but this brought up all the memories of the past life she had worked so hard to suppress. But the sight of the approaching doom still made her uncertain.
Kyle looked at them curiously.
"What's a Snowy? Is it a dog? "
Shawn assumed something and asked "What's a snowy? From your looks it's not something nice.... "
Allister looked at her so into the past. He sighed and said softly in her ears so that others couldn't hear. "I don't know what you faced but everything will be fine from now on. "
Alicia looked at that face and then at all the other faces looking at her. She suddenly realised something and looked at those faces. She was feeling guilty for not telling anything to her family but now she understood. She was an outsider there but here she is important. These people were all worried about her. They cared for her. Tears fell from her eyes. Their worry had worked like the rain that comes after a hot summer to replenish the earth.
Kyle asked "so what is it really? "
Alicia panted and said "It's the earliest form of zombie. They showed up first in the earliest stages. Although they were harmless in the beginning but later became formidable. They can call up others of it's kind. "
Kyle looked at her and laughed asking "Is this a prank? What do you mean zombies? "
He suddenly asked her seriously "Wait so you two sold the company for this. O! Heavens! Are you two sick? We are ruined. "
Will looked at them worriedly "Honey first listen to the whole story before you come to a conclusion. "
Kyle sat down on the sofa angrily and asked "Then speak. "
Alicia looked at him and asked "Kyle I have got this news from a trusted source. A strange type of virus is spreading which turns people into cannibals. "
Kyle looked at her skeptically and asked "Are you sure? "
"Yes Brother in law what I said is true. " Alicia said assuring him. Kyle still didn't believe him. Alicia sighed said "Wait a while you will find out if what I said was true or not"
