I stood stunned before realizing there was a voice on the walkie-talkie.

"Is that you Mommy?"

I took the walkie-talkie, talking into it."Uh... No... Who are you?"

"My name is Amber... I'm in the treehouse."

I walked into the kitchen, looking out the window. There was a small blonde-haired girl peering out with a talkie in her hand. She smiled and waved. Upon her head was a crown of fake flowers. I smiled and waved back, surprised.

"Do you know where my parents are?"she asked.

I swallowed."I'm not sure they'll be showing up anytime soon."

She sighed."I just haven't seen them in such a long time."

I watched as she jumped down from the treehouse. She had a hammer in her right hand. I stood there, blinking, marveling at how this young girl had survived all this time. But then I realized, she hadn't. I'd met her before.

I'm going to destroy your life, Addie! Destroy it! Trevor's yells rang through my mind. He didn't destroy it. He changed their ages.

Everything dropped like a bomb at that point. I kept my age, but everyone else I knew didn't. Amber was now eight, which was life-changing. She probably didn't remember what happened on the island or in the mansion. If I told her, she might call me crazy or cry. I couldn't do anything, and I just had to look out for a way to reverse everything.

She opened the glass door and ran into my arms."I want my parents to come home."

I bent down to her eye level."I'm sure we'll find them. We just have to stay safe from the zombies. We can make it into a game of tag. The zombies are it, so you have to stay away from them! And be very quiet so they can't find you."

Amber nodded."Okee dokee lokee."

I smiled."I'm Addie. How did you survive all this time?"

"I hid in my treehouse. The things hadn't come to the town until about a month ago, so I was able to get things into my treehouse. I've ran out though."

"Don't worry. We can get some help now if we leave."

"But if we leave, and my parents show up, how will they find us?"

"They will." I ruffled her hair."So, do we go now or when it gets dark?"

---

A- Go now and get help
B- Stay until dark and avoid the walkers at night.
