As you sit there crying and your sister trying to get you to tell her what's happing, fear in her eyes you hear a loud BANG that makes you jump come from deeper in the ball followed by two more a few seconds later.
You remember hearing sounds like that in the distance mixed with police sirens house alarms and screams as you ran, but these were much closer. Wiping the tears from your eyes you stands up and when your sister opens her mouth to speak you silence her with a finger to your lips. Slowly the two of you creep deeper into the mall, a handful of lights on for security reasons provide just enough light for you to see where your going.
As you walk past the banner and balloons and stages in the middle of construction for the mall grand opening you start to hear voices in the distants.
"What the hell is going on< what are those things?" one voice said and was answered by another.
"I don't know and I don't want to know, now stop talking and help me move this shit."
You and your sister reach the stairs near one of the other entrances and you motion your sister to stay low as you peek around the stairs and see two men moving furniture from one of the store in front of one of the door that is missing the glad from it, near the broken window you see a pool of blood and outside of it lays a body of one of the crazy people.
"why are we hiding?" your sister asks suddenly and in the stillness of the empty mall her voice echos slightly and you clamp your hand over your sisters mouth shushing her, but its to late.
you hear the sound of a heavy object drop on the floor. "who's there? SHOW YOUR SELF!" one of the men barks in your direction. you look for a way to hide or run but here isn't any that the men wont see.
Swallowing hard you step out from behind the stairs with holding your sisters hand and you are staring down the barrel of a gun one of the men has aimed at you. "Luke its just a couple of girls, put the gun away man." The other man says lowering his baseball bat.
"The fuck I will, how do we know they aren't like the rest of the bastards outside huh?" The one called Luke replies the his eyes and gun never wavering from where they are pointed.
You swallow again and in a shaking voice you say. "W-we aren't like those crazy people outside.....we're hiding from them"
The gun remains aimed on you as you can see Luke is thinking about what you just said and after ten agonizing seconds that feel like an eternity he lowers the gun. "then get your fucking asses over here and help us move this shit to block the door." he said putting the gun in a thigh holster.
