Abby lost, Emily thought. Or maybe she never stood a chance of winning.

But Emily didn’t have time to dwell on that. Not now, and not with what she suspected the app could really do. She pushed past Abby—Zombie Abby was a little slow at first, almost like she was still unsure about how she had changed.

And in that regard, Emily surprised herself, too. That frozen fear, that total paralysis, vanished—just like that. Her heart was pumping hard, and all her muscles were tensed, ready to fight, ready to flee—ready to do whatever it took to survive.

Zombie Abby snapped to attention as she got ready too. She lunged at Emily, but Emily was faster. Emily ducked away and raced into the kitchen, with Abby right behind her.

I have to get out of here, Emily thought frantically. But the front door wasn’t safe—there was practically a parade of zombies marching down the street, and any one of them could catch her. Could transform her into—into—into one of them.

No, the back door was her only option. At this point, all Emily could do was hope that no zombies had stumbled into Abby’s backyard. There was a forbidden shortcut through the nature preserve that would get Emily pretty close to her own house. Technically, Emily wasn’t supposed to go into the nature preserve, but would anyone know if she did? If Emily could get into the nature preserve, she’d be home in less than a minute. And then she would be safe. . . . She hoped.

But first, Emily had to come up with a plan—and she had to protect herself. There was a small pantry next to the kitchen. She dashed into the pantry, slammed the doors, and locked them from the inside.

The windowless pantry was pitch-black with both doors closed. Emily reached overhead for the dangling chain and pulled it, filling the small room with light. It was very quiet in there, surrounded by boxes of cereal, bags of sugar, and stacks of canned goods. I could hide in here, Emily thought suddenly. There’s enough to eat to last for a long time.

But just as quickly, Emily dismissed the thought. How could she stay hiding in the pantry with no clue about what was going on in the real world? She had to believe that there was still a chance to stop this before it got worse. And right now, Emily was certain she knew more about what was happening than anyone else.

Emily sighed, a long, jagged rush of air, as she paced back and forth in the small pantry. On the other side of the doors, she could hear Zombie Abby groaning and twisting the doorknobs. Think. Think. Think, Emily told herself, trying not to be distracted. Emily already knew how she would escape from Abby’s house. She’d try to get out through the back door—she was pretty fast. If she ran as hard as she could, she could scale the fence, dash through the nature preserve, and be at her own house in no time.
