The Bloody Six by By: Sandra Rodriguez and Taylor Arellano (phonics reading books txt) 📕

Alexandra, Alec, Eric, Jessica, Luis and Schuyler were six pretty normal teenagers. They were all about the same age, 15 to 16. Everyone liked them for many reasons. They were not indolent, they were best friends and took care of each other and they were responsible and respectful. The demagogue of the group was Luis. He understood his friends when nobody else could, so he was voted leader of the group. But he really did mean it when he said he would die to protect them.
One day they had a premonition that they were being watched by someone. When the feeling didn’t go away, Luis decided to make a plan. He told Alec first because he was the most important part of the plan. The next day, they were hanging out, just wandering around town. Then Alec began to beset a young man he didn’t even know. The man was really agitated and punched Alec. Right then, Luis turned around. When he saw the man punching Alec he ran over and punched him back, and when he was about to go punch him again the rest of the group ran over to pacify him. They left feeling satisfied that their plan had been successful. They did it to prove that they were always going to stick together. It began to rain, so Luis said “Hurry let’s run over to my house. We can watch a movie or something."

As soon as they got to the house it began to rain heavily. Just then, someone suddenly stormed through the door. His eyes were crimson red and wine colored blood on his fangs dripping slowly into a puddle that had formed underneath him. When he went in he said “ I really don’t want to do this, but I have to. You are destined to save the world.” He took them one by one, savoring their warm rich blood. Turning them into vampires. They were filled with remorse, knowing that their blood would be vitiated forever.
After he engendered their vampire abilities and their anger was placated, he told them “I chose you because I know you will fulfill your duty. I also know that you treat each other with respect, and that’s a very important part of being a team.” After he had explained that they had been chosen to save the world, from something that was going to come really soon, they started thinking. They decided that they were ardent about their new reason for existence.

The next day, they went to school, and everyone was happy to see them. All six of them had charisma, that’s why everyone liked them so much. Everyone noticed that Luis and his friends looked different, they could tell by looking at their countenance. People kept asking if they were sick because they looked so pale. They knew there was a dearth of time, and they couldn’t squander it. Then, something completely unexpected happened. The biggest, and what they thought, most disastrous earthquake occurred. It was so astonishing because it had hit everywhere. Nobody knew why, but it hadn’t really destroyed many things. What they had noticed was that there were huge cracks in the earth. When Luis found out, he knew they had to go examine it. He told his friends “Hey, let’s go check it out. I think this may have something to do with the problem we have to solve.” Jessica on the other hand didn’t think it was such a good idea. She said “Luis, I respect you and everything but I’m not so sure if we can do that. I know that the earth is marred, but is there really anything we can do about it?” Luis knew Jessica wasn’t being supercilious. She was his second in command, and she was just looking out for the group. Luis said “I understand you’re not sure about this but we’ll be fine. Come on, we’re in a hurry, let’s write a cursory note so our parents know we’ll be gone for a few days.

Alec was scared that he wouldn’t have the courage to save the world from whatever was coming. He confided in Schuyler. He told her about his conflict and she said “ Alec, you have nothing to worry about. You have enough courage for all of us.” Then she hugged him and they got ready for the trip. When everyone was ready they went to the first site, which was fairly close to North Carolina. It was in Georgia. They used their speed to go from North Carolina to Georgia. Then they went to California. They found out that, so far, all of the cracks were on graveyards. Since the cracks were huge they were across many graveyards. Luis said “ I don’t know if this is a coincidence or if it’s an important part of what’s happening.” Alexandra, with her wild imagination, said “ What if zombies or something else come out of there?” Schuyler, being her best friend agreed with her. She said “ What if Alex is right? Anything could cause the world to end.” Eric said, “ You’re right, but zombies? Come on, that could never happen.” Alec couldn’t let him attack Schuyler like that, so he said “ Eric, anything could happen. We didn’t think vampires existed and look at us now. We’re here and we have to be prepared for anything.” With that, everyone got quiet, nobody had talked about being vampires since it had happened.

Before they went to the other sites, they decided to stay at a hotel in California. Good thing that they stayed because a horrible terrifying lightning storm was coming. They had to stay inside because it was raining really hard and the lightning lit up the whole sky. They made a plan so they know where they’re going to go. They were going to Madrid, Spain, Paris, France, and Lahore, Pakistan. They didn’t expect what was coming. The next day they were going out the door and realized there were decomposing corpses walking around. They were all freaking out. They had no idea about how to handle it. Luckily Alexandra knew everything about zombies. She took control of the situation and told them how to kill the zombies. They had to rip their heads off. So that’s what they did they went through the whole state ripping the heads off zombies for three straight days. Then something horrific happened. The zombies had mutated and they could run and they had actually had enough brains to know how to kill the vampires. Alexandra didn’t know what to do.

Since they were faster than the zombies they could still kill them. Eric made a mistake and he couldn’t move fast enough and a zombie killed him with a wooden stake to the heart. The vampires were all in shock. They had no idea that this would ever happen. The zombies were getting closer so they ran they knew that it would take a long time to kill all the zombies in the world. Luis mad a quick plan. He told them “ Now that there are only five of us we’ll have to work harder. Alex, Alec and Sky you go to the other side of town and kill those zombies and Jessica and I will work here.” They separated and hoped that they didn’t get killed. Alex was crying a lot and she couldn’t see. She was surprised when she saw another zombie getting close. She ripped his head off with all the anger she had in her. Then one came up behind her and stabbed her with a wooden stake. Alec and Schuyler didn’t expect that they hurried to a building running and crying, because they had just killed another one of their friends. They had no way of telling Luis and Jessica that they were smarter than they had given them credit for.
