***Madelyn's POV

A sharp screech escapes my throat at the sight.
"Derek! Climb higher!" I scream.
Derek's eyes widen when he sees the giant mob of zombies walking toward the tree. He scrambles quickly up the trees feeble branches, the sound of small cracking twigs underneath his feet. I follow him, being sort of careful to not step on the tiny branches that our sure to break.
The zombies pile over each other, their height slowly growing as they use each other as stepping stools to get to us.
The tree sways beneath us as we go higher and higher into the growing wind. Finally, our heads pop over the tree, signaling that we have reached the top.
"Now what," Derek says.
"I don't know, that was kind of a stupid idea to climb to the top. Now we are stuck!" I respond.
"What do you mean?"
"When we were lower, we could have jumped and made a run for it. Now they are going to climb up and get us. We can't jump from here." I say.
Derek grits his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes. I look down, and see the zombies are already half way up the tree.
What a horrible way to die.
Derek is full on crying now, and I can feel the sadness in my face. I'm going to die.
Tears stream down our faces, as we cry together. His hand holds tightly on to mine.
"Derek, I'm sorry." I choke.
"I am to Madelyn," He says back.
We cry in sadness and panic as the zombies get closer and closer, there hungry gnashing mouths closing in on us.
Suddenly I feel something cold on my ankle.
I let out a loud scream as the zombie pulls me down. The zombies get taller and taller as they climb up the tree. I get pulled down toward them, there bodies enveloping me. A scream rips itself from my throat as hundreds of cold hands wrap around my body, pulling me deeper into the mass of zombies. Sharp lashes of pain explode around my body. I snap my head around in panic, seeing the zombies jaws wrapped around my limbs,, slowly biting through the flesh.
I here Derek call my name, but I can barely here him.
I scream for help one last time, before the light is completely covered by the zombies who now surround me.
For a quick few seconds, I know that they have just started to tear me apart. Dozens of horrible pains erupt around my body, and screams escape me.
This is the end, I think. Two cold arms wrap around my legs. Another curls around my arm and shoulder. Two zombies limbs slither around my neck, grabbing hold of my head. They start to pull hard , ripping my limps from the sockets, choking me and slowly beginning to decapitating me. I let out a muffled screech, and just as I feel my arm is about to rip away, there is a bright light, nearly blinding me. A loud noise that is so deafening I could have screamed blasts around me, the lights blowing up in my face. My eardrums burst, and a ringing replaces the demeaning noise. A unbearable wave of heat and force shoves me away, and I am flying through the air, wind whipping around me. I peel my eyes open, the gleaming light a bit dimmer, showing the flames that lick my body as I fly directly over the hot fire.
Then, I hit the dirt hard. My back feels as it has snapped beneath me, like a stick, filled with burning hot lava that spread into my veins, filling me with searing pain. My breath leaves me immediately when my back hits. My body flattens against the ground from the force, shoving my there. First me back, then my butt, and then My head hits the ground, the whiplash contorting my neck in a strange shape just so my head could hit the ground as hard as possible. Just as fast as my body hit the ground, I am sent into darkness.

"Madelyn? Are you all right?" A voice says. The voice echos around me, and u can't tell exactly where the voice is coming from.
I peel my eyes open, and a blurry vision of reality comes back to me.
"guys she's awake!" The voice says again. My vision slowly clears, and I see, not one, but FIVE FACES looking down at me.
WHAT. ARE THOSE ZOMBIES. As my vision clears, I see that they are not zombies, but real people.
WHAT.
and the strange thing is, they are strangely familiar people.
"Claire?" I say, her long black hair coming into focus.
"Hey Madelyn!" She says. About fifteen other voices come from behind her, all saying things like "no time no see!" And "hi" and "Are u all right?"
I recognize them all. Jessica, Mary, Julianna, Delilah, Gabi, Meredith, Ruby, Zack, Sammy, melody, Jen.
Everyone from the team.
WHAT.
WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.
"OMG WHAT THE HELL GUYS HOW-WHAT-WHEN-WHAT." I stutter. I quickly start to get up to my feet, but a horrible lash of pain strikes through my body.
"Woo woo woo, careful. Ur badly hurt. Not to bad actually, for what happened, but we looked at u, and we figured you have at least a broken arm, a leg pulled out of socket, two broken ribs, and a bruised spine." Claire says. She smiles.
"You should be super happy ur spine didn't break. U landed HARD." She laughs. I lay down back onto the dirt.
"Ok guys, instead of totally freaking out right now, I'm just gonna ask Delilah to explain everything to me, because ur good at explaining, ok?" I say, turning my sore neck toward Delilah. I wince.
Delilah takes a deep breath before starting.
"Ok, so, the reason that Derek's sister turned into a zombie was because there are aliens that are trying to multiply people."
Wow that was weird from the start. I shut my mouth, and let her continue, a strange confused expression plastered on my face. Delilah continues.
"They are trying to clone people useing a machine from there UFO that they created. They tested it on Derek's sister, and it turned her into a zombie instead of killed her."
Delilah takes another breath.
"The zombie began to infect people, so the aliens took drastic measures, and quickly created another cloning mation in fear that once the everyone became a zombie, they wouldn't be able to clone them. To keep as many people unzombiefifed, they struck the entire earth at once."
I freeze, that must have been the lightning bolt.
"As u may have guessed, instead of cloning everybody, it killed everybody. Every Friday the aliens constantly tried to unzombify them, but they still came back as zombies. Very few people survived without being struck dead or zombified. Those people are u, Derek, and all of us. When the aliens realized that they couldn't do there original plan, they took the remaining humans and took them into space with them. They accidently missed u and Derek."
I take a deep breath, taking it all in.
"So, why did the aliens try to clone humans and take the clones?" I ask.
Delilah laughs nervously.
"The aliens populations was sinking drastically. A horrible disease that only existed in females wiped out nearly the entire alien female population. The males decided that if they breed with female humans, there genes would overrule, and they would have fully alien babies. They wanted to clone all the female humans and take the clones without them realizing. When it didn't work, they just decided to take what they could get."
Delilah sighs, "that would be us."
I gasp. I say, "does that mean..?"
"Yup. All of us are pregnant with alien babies."
My eyes widen. Delilah continues talking.
"The reason only jump ropers survived was because of the extreme amount of cardio, which repelled the working of the death/closer Ray. There are hundreds of UFOs out in space, all of them filled with female jump ropers, all of them used to breed the alien population. We took over our UFO and crashed it here, to get away from the aliens."
Delilah smiles.
"Now we are here! The end!"
"wow," I say, "that's a lot to take in." A thought bursts into my mind.
"Wait, we have to save all those people!" I yell.
"Yea, we thought that to, but for now let's just rest." Delilah says. I take a deep breath.
"Yea. Let's just rest."
