Chapter 6: Internship
Amelia Burke was a teenage girl spending the summer before going into her senior year. She needed a job to pass the time and looked everywhere. Her solution: become an intern for some great adult who owned their own business. It would be great for her college resume. She didn't necessarily mind who she worked for, she just needed the job. She looked everywhere but nothing was available. One day she looked online to find an ad for the famous Ms. Nicole Vogue's new store. She gleefully sent in her resume and was accepted... big mistake.

"Angie darling, could you please check the fall line, make sure everything's there?" Nicole said to her employee, not paying attention. The sun was beginning to set on June 24.

"Yes, Ms. Nicole," Amelia said with a look of disdain. She'd worked there for three weeks and her boss still couldn't manage to call her my her proper name. It was about time to close up shop and Amelia had the job to make sure everything was where it should be. It wasn't surprising that she was the only employee to the store. She had been in the middle of folding some clothes when Nicole's voice spoke out.

"Darling, there's someone near the entrance, go help her darling." Nicole got closer to her and whispered. "She could use some help with that fashion." Nicole walked away.

Amelia rolled her eyes as she walked toward the woman. She was just standing there. Most of the stores of this side of the mall were already closed so it had been very quiet.

"Hello and welcome to Shique Boutique, would you like me to he-." She was too busy looking at the woman's tattered clothes, bloodshot eyes, greyish skin, and blood stains. The woman just stared at her. Amelia started to step back, until the woman lunged at her. Amelia screamed as she knocked over a mannequin, tripping the woman. The noise was enough to bring Nicole out of the backroom.

"Oh my god! Out of my store! Get her out!"

"I'm TRYING!" Amelia said running, knocking mannequins down as the woman chased her. She had an idea. She bolted for the exit and the woman followed her out. She turned to see a crowd of people running toward the store as well. She gulped before turning back into the store, the woman on her trail. She ran in and pulled down the gates quickly. The woman banged on them as she locked them. The windows were broken and as more and more people showed up, the sound was deafening. Nicole reached out to her employee.

"Are you alright, darling?"

"I'm fine."

"Do you know what in the world that was?"

"I have no idea."

Nicole began to salvage the clothes that weren't bled, stepped on, or knocked over while Amelia just watched the horde of people banging at the entrance, regretting taking the job.

"I'm sure security is figuring out the situation right this minute," Nicole said, worried.

"Yeah, probably." Amelia reached for her phone, realizing she had dropped it outside when the woman had been chasing her outside the store.

"Yes? Oh thank heavens you're alright. It's the same over there? Oh... Oh yes, I'll be safe, stay safe too. Love you too." Nicole said, hanging up her cellphone. Amelia knew it was her sister from another store.

Amelia sat reading a book she had brought to pass the time when she heard a large bang. The outside had been clear for quite some time, until a man with blue hair came to the store. His clothes were tattered, and he had a bloody cut on his forehead, but he looked sane.

"Help, help!" the man yelled. Amelia just watched. Something wasn't right.

"Amelia, darling, open the gate for the man!" Nicole said sternly. Amelia continued staring, why wasn't there any of the, well, what seemed like zombies, why weren't they there? She knew something was very wrong.

"Please let me in! They're coming!" the man begged, banging on the gates. Nicole ran to unlock the gates when Amelia saw it. The grip of a gun stuck out of his pocket. "No wait!" Amelia yelled quickly as the gates opened and the man came inside. He drew out his gun and pointed at Nicole. "You two are coming with me." "What? Who do you think you are?!" Nicole yelled. No wonder there weren't any... zombies around. It was a setup. "Do you think I'm playing?!" the man asked, walking up to Nicole. He pointed the gun at her chest. "Move!"

Amelia said nothing. She just followed the man out with her employer. She was scared, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. There was nothing to say. She just followed. Zombies weren't even noticing the three. They just passed by, stood there, they didn't even look. The man led them underground. Amelia looked to see devices everywhere. What were they up to? She couldn't figure out. And she was a smart girl too. She had no idea what to do. No idea at all. The man led them to a cell. There was another man slouched down in there. Suddenly she noticed the man inject a needle in Nicole's neck. She immediately dropped to the floor. Amelia began backing up as she felt a woman grab her from behind. She kicked and screamed.

"NO! GET OFF ME! NO!" Suddenly she felt a prick on her neck and felt dizzy. Within seconds, the darkness took over.
