"Oh holy night, the night of the enlightenment, the night of transformation."
These were the words of the weird witch. She has been under the surface, being chained for centuries got her vexed to an extent that she had to come up with a plan to destroy humans and whatever that has life in it.

The weird witch got cooked up by a silly magician who forgot to bind her with a spell.
The magician began his spell, called for help in binding her again for more centuries, but luck was not in his side. The weird witch boiled the pot so hot that the fume choked the magician to his early death.
She popped up from the pot like that of cigarette's smoke saying;
"Am free at last!!"

The whole Forest vibrated in fear.
The weird witch is finally out to unleash terror on whatever that has blood running through it.
She first laid hold on the rogue cat, tuned it to her puppy with green night vision eyes, capable of seeing the future.
She patrolled round the forest, did some changes and went straight to wake her buried friends at the cemetery.

Just like the saying, "It's always very dark before dawn", that was the story of Star city, terror got unleashed on everyone, both humans and their wealth.
She tasked her friends to infest the whole city and its environment with their zombie venom, turning everyone into zombie at last.

Source
The first set of people to be infected were her human ambassadors who were tasked to capturing souls of the dead, second set were tasked to become her army of the dead, bitting to infest more people and animals.
In a space of two days, the whole city turned to "Zombie island" according to the weird witch. Houses were pulled down, shops were burnt to ashes, businesses crippled to honor a new reign of the weird witch.

Source
Amidst the weird witch's pandemic, few were saved from he terror.
The mountains became a safe heaven for those who managed to wake up before daybreak.
Ernest and his family were the last group of persons to make it before the "Kill zone" was locked by the military.
The zombies and their queen were destroyed and Star city regained her pride in few years.
