Greenville Pandimic

Chapter Four

As I walked back to my house I could help but think back to my mom I could hardly remember the tune she used to sing to me when I went to bed.I remember her telling my that the angels would always watch over me. I remember her getting sturn with me when my dad and I where playing catch in the house I even remember having a tea party all dressed up but it seemed like her face was slipping farther and farther away. I took a deep breath and went to my bed " 2 more days till the new camp" I said out loud as I turned over in bed and drifted off to a deep sleep...

      My heart raced as I ran from the ooze I clutched my chest and looked around for the elders it was pouring out of the ground and kids ran screaming for their lives as they watched the elders being sucked into the ooze like quicksand. The ooze seemed to have a mind of its own as it picked some off and others it left alone but everyone was screaming and crying for their parents. I saw Louie in the distance I started to run but he kept getting further and further away from me. I turned around to see little Erin white as a ghost running after me with black eyes. I tried to screen but I was being sucked into the ooze as I stood in place. I tried to run but my legs wouldnt move I looked up at Louie but he was gone. Once again I tried to scream but nothing came out.

I sat up in bed suddenly trying to catch my breath and slow my heart down I could see the sun coming up and I decided to get up and great the day. That dream felt so real and yet it almost seemed like it was a memory but it couldn't have been because the elders where all there. I headed out of my room to start getting the girls ready for the day and line them up by age in front of the door once they where all lined up the breakfast siren whaled and we walked outside and over to the dinning hall. I told Jenna about my dream as well as Bri and Hannah who weirdly enough all had the same dream as me which is impossible. I decided to see if Louie had the same dream later when I saw him at the park. I pushed the dream to the back of my mind it was giving me an uneasy feeling as I sat there picking at he grayish colored eggs I didn't dare eat because I knew better then that. Then it dawned on me " how long have we been in this camp what if the pandemic isn't even real and our parents are out there looking for us" I asked Bri who shook her head " don't be silly Grace why would we habe memories of the pandemic if it never really happened " she said as she ate her toast. I looked at Hannah who nodded in agreement " but then where do all these younger kids come from?" She asked Bri who looked up to the elders " you better e quite " Elder Donna is looking at us you know they have hearing like a bat" she teased and I shook my head " how would you know what a bat can hear like have you ever seen one?" I asked her. She shook her head " no but I think I read a book about it once...I miss books" Bri said then looked at Wren" come to cause more trouble wren wasnt the last fight proof enough that we don't want you over here?" She asked as she watched Jenna sit down next to me her eyes puffy from crying " Hector died the elders said they will match me with someone else" I gave my friend a hug and went back o eating my toast we all knew hector was not going to make it so I didn't see much reason for crying. No one made it hear after they got sick so why cry. I could hear screaming outside I looked over and noticed some of the elders running outside they told us to stay put and that we are going into lock Down but for what?
