Chapter 1: Red
"Teresa?"

She stood in front of him, with worry written across her face.It was just the two of them standing out in the cold hall.

"Something is wrong with Jenna, hurry!"

She grabbed his hand and led him across the hall to her dorm. They walked through the room, stopping at a door.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She locked herself in her room an hour ago--I think. Her arm was bleeding really bad and she wouldn't let me help her--"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down and take a breath."

She did and began to calm down.

"Good. Now, why was her arm bleeding?"

"I-I don't know she wouldn't tell me, but I know she must have got hurt on her way back from Jakie's party."

An uneasy feeling began in his stomach. It felt like something bad was going to happen.

"First that thing at the hospital and now this? Something's wrong here..." he thought.

His phone went off in his pocket, but he ignored it and knocked on Jenna's door. No response.

"Jenna? Are you okay?" he called out.

A rattling noise came from behined the door.

"I-I'm fine,"Jenna's voice called out,"D-Don't--"

There was a loud crashing noise from the room and then silence. Teresa began banging on the door.

"Jenna!"

Silence.

David looked at Teresa, then back to the door.

"Stand back." David said as he began to back up.

He waited for Teresa to clear the way, and slammed the flat of his foot with a loud bang. The swung open revealing Jenna sprawled out on the floor next to a toppled over book case.She lyed there on the floor, violently shaking.

"Shit. Call an ambulance!" he yelled as ran over to her.

As he knelt beside her, he noticed the large wound on her arm. It was a bite mark. Blood was pouring from it, getting all over David.

"And a towel!"

Teresa left the room and quickly returned with a towel and phone. She handed him the towel, which he immeadity used on Jenna's arm.

"No one's picking up!" she said pacing back and forth across the room.

Suddenly, Jenna's body stopped shaking. David and Teresa froze. They both just stared at her.

"Jenna?" Teresa whispered.

David checked her pulse. Nothing. He looked over to Teresa and shooke his head. Teresa dropped her phone and collapsed beside Jenna's corpse.

"It was just a bite," he thought,"How could someone die from a bite?"

Teresa's crying was the only noise in the room. David was unsure what to say to comfort her.

"Teresa I--"

Movement out of the corner of his eye caught hos attention. Jenna's eyes flickered open, reavealing blood red irises.

"Jenna..."

David slowly started to back away and motioned for Teresa to as well. The uneasiness began to build in his stomach again.

"What are you doing? She's hurt! We have to help her!"

"She was dead. No pulse."

Inhuman noises ezcaped Jenna's mouth as she stood. She stummbled for a second, then viciously lunged at David. The two of them fell backwords onto a glass coffe table. David's vision blurred as he struggled to hold Jenna back. Her teeth snapped at his neck, just centimeters away. They rolled around in the broken glass, until Jenna ended up on top again. He knew he couldn't keep her at bay forever, and looked around for something to use. His eyes stopped at a large shard of glass to his right. He streched his arm out and grasped the shard tight, cutting his hand in the process. Before Jenna could bite into his neck, he drove the glass through her temple.

Jenna stopped moving immeaditly. Her blood oozed onto David as he pushed her off. He slowly got up and stared down at her broken body.

"You--You killed her..."Teresa said in shock.

David didn't look up at her. He continued to stare at the blood.

"No, she was already dead. She didn't have a pulse. Whatever this...thing was, wasn't--couldn't have been Jenna. I just know it wasn't."

They stood in silence for awhile until Teresa went into Jenna's room. She came back with a blanket, which she layed on top off Jenna's corpse. Suddenly, the memory of what he had witnessed on the news came back to him.

"Before you came to get me, I was watching the news and there were these...people who were attacking and ripping other people appart. They were all acting like 'Jenna' was a minute ago."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, that they were biting people left and right."

"Well how did Jenna..."her voice trailed off.

David crouched down and pulled Jenna's arm out and showed Teresa the bite. Teresa looked at it in silence.

"You said that she came here tonight from Jackies party with this, right? Well maybe she was bitten by one of those things from the news."

"So she got bit and what? Became one of them? Like a--a zombie?"

David shrugged.

"Or rabbies? Hell, I don't know."

Teresa grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V.

"Maybe there's something else on the news about it."

The emergancy broadcast system came on as soon as the T.V. did. An eerie buzzing noise played along with a odd voice.

"Everyone needs to go to the closest major city in there area. The goverment has begun to set up quarintines for any that are not infected."

The message continued to repeat until David took the remote from Teresa and turned the T.V. off.

"What do we do now?"

"Head to...Dallas I guess. That's the closest major city to us."

"My parents live there, so we can stay with them." "Alright, but first we need to go find Jackie and Jim."

His phone went off again. He quickly pulled it ou and saw that he had one new voice messasge. It was from Jim. He played it hoping that Jim was okay.

"David! You need to come get us man! There are fucking zombies eating people here me and Jackie are the square, come get us--"

An explosion in the backround cut the message short. David and Teresa stood there stunned.
