Wretched Apocalypse

"The wretched and divine," I sang as the newest song to our album ended.

I looked out at my band mates Jinxx, Ashley, CC and Jake as they nodded in approval at how the song sounded. I smiled and looked over at our producer John who gave me the thumbs up. I nodded and took the earphones off and stepped out of the booth.

"That was fantastic," John chirped.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Well done Andy," CC said with a smile.

"Thanks buddy" I chuckled.

I looked over at Ash who was glued to the TV. I walked up to him and poked him. He looked at me with dark eyes and a pale look on his skin.

"Ash, what's wrong man?" Ashley pointed to the TV and it was on the news. The banner read "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS HERE." I scoffed and looked back at Ash.

"Are you going to believe this garbage?" I muttered.

"It's just a hoax, I bet," said Jinxx.

I nodded and turned the TV off and sat next to Ashley and patted his shoulder.

"Nothing to worry about," I mused.

Ashley nodded and then I stood up.

"Well I say we head back to the hotel and rest up for tomorrow," I issued.

Everyone nodded and we left the studio but John stayed behind. We piled into my car and started to drive down the street. I saw a figure standing in the middle of the road, but couldn't see much. It was snowing like a motherfucker here. I stopped when I got closer and they just stood there in a daze. I tooted my horn but it obviously wasn't working so I stuck my head out the window.

"Move it asshole!" I yelled.

They just stared at me and made a sickly moan. I frowned and just drove around them. I heard Ashley gasp as I looked at him in the mirror.

"T...there was something odd about that guys skin and eyes," he stuttered.

"Probably just some drunk," I mumbled.

Ashley looked at me concerned and I just ignored him. We continued driving to the hotel and I couldn't seem to put my finger on why Ashley was acting so weird.

*Time lapse 3 hours*

I was snuggled into my bed, reading a book when I heard some frantic knocking at my door. I put my book down and walked over to the door and Ashley was there in just his boxers.

"Ash what the..." I didn't finish because he clapped his hand over my mouth.

"Shh!" he whispered.

He took his hand away from my mouth and walked over to my bedroom window. I closed the door and walked over to Ashley.

"Ash, what's going on?" I growled.

Ashley grabbed my hand and pulled me up close to the window and pointed outside. I looked across the street and saw a body on the ground and two figures tearing at its insides. My eyes widened and I looked away.

"No, no, no, not happening!" I panicked.

"Andy, it is happening. It's spreading through America, we have to leave before it gets worse!" Ashley grumbled.

I looked at him and then back out the window.

"We have to get the others in here, and I have to let Juliet know," I muttered.

Ashley groaned a little and I looked at him oddly.

"What?" I questioned.

"Nothing," he replied.

I frowned and told him to go get the others as I closed the curtains to my window and slipped some clothes on. This was all too weird. I sent a text to Juliet.

"Get some stuff packed and try pack anything that can be used as a weapon. I will explain what's going on when I see you!"

I put my phone away and waited for Ashley to come back with the others. This better not be as bad as it looks. Just stay calm Andy, stay calm.
