Invasion

Part1: Chapter 2

I sat on the cemented stairs of the home depot building entrance. Thinking of what to do next. In a world that's basically dead with no one by my side, there's nothing really to do. The only thing I could think of was to be cautious and alert for anymore of those creatures that could again come out any minute and try to shred me to pieces, which is not such a fun way to past time. Then an idea hit me, I could try to find out about my past! What my life was like before whatever happened to world happened. I poked around my brown leather jacket pockets to see if I could find anything.

I found a iphone which is most likely my iphone but it had a cracked screen. I tried to go on it but when I slid to unlock, it asked me for a password I didn't remember. Crap, seriously?! I tried guessing the password but it was no use, I couldn't get in. I got so frustrated I threw the phone at a car window and shattered it to peices. The car came alive, beeping loudly and uncontrollably. I looked to see if anyone was around, when I realized there wasn't I just walked away like nothing happened.

I was walking on a sidewalk with my hands in my jean pockets. Thinking of another way to find out about myself. After a while of walking, I found myself by a dead highschool. While I was looking at it, I realized I was hungry as hell. Maybe there would be some food in the highschool's cafeteria? It couldn't hurt to check.

I pushed the a door to the school building open. When I walked around to look for the cafeteria, I passed by classrooms with dead students. Poor kids only looked about 13-16 years old. I couldn't help it but to feel sorry for them.

After looking around the high school building for quite some time, I found the cafeteria! I swear, it was the most glorious thing to ever be seen since the invasion. There was even some vending machines! I ran up to the vending machines, looking at the tasty chips and junk threw the machine's glass. I didn't hesitant to grab my hammer and smash the vending machine glass into peices.

After I snaked the glass, I grabbed countless packs of junk to eat now and later. Yes, I sound like a pig but at this point I don't care if I am one. I started to tear open packs of chips and eat them ravenously. "
"Hey!"
I jumped from shock, who was that?! It sounded like a kid... Like a young girl. I turned around to find a girl about 13 years old with a 10 inch knife.
"who the hell are you?! Where's the rest of your group?! I'll let you know my group will be back and kick your group asses!"
I was so confused, groups? What the hell is she talking about?

"calm down kid, I'm alone, I don't have a group"
"That's a lie!" She said angrily. She started walking towards me with the knife. " whoa! Whoa! Kid seriously calm down! I don't wanna hurt you"

The expression on the young girls face was priceless! She made a weird constipated face. " ha! Like I'm gonna loose to a weapon less pig" she said with confidant sass.

She ran towards me, holding her knife in the air. I held my hammer firmly in my grip. At the same time thinking of a way not to harm the kid badly, I mean sure, she seems like a brat but I don't want to completely kill her. Once ran up to me, she tried stabbing my stomach, I quickly moved my body the side to avoid the knife. I kicked the girl away from me, making her stumble onto the ground. She quickly got back up and tried slicing my arm, I tried to dodge it again but she she managed slightly cut my arm. "Agh! You cut me you crazy daughter of a bitch!" I talked as I clutched my bleeding wound. "that's the point duh, idiot". Okay, this brat is really making it hard for me not to beat her up.

Instead of her running up and trying to stab me again, this time I charged towards her, ramming her hard against the wall and making the knife fall out of her hand. I slammed my hands against her arms and held her firmly against the wall so she couldn't escape my grasp. She look fearfully into my eyes.

"alright, you win! Please! Please don't kill me! I'm sorry!"she yelped between shy tears.
"it's okay kid. I don't wanna hurt you at all, it's just you forced me too. Look, if you promise not to go all crazy assassin on me, I'll let you go. Promise?"
"I promise".

I pulled my hands away from her arms, letting her go. She gazed up upon me while rubbing her arms. Oops, I must've slammed her poor skinny arms too hard...
"Thank you"
"No problem. Hey, what's your name anyway kid?"
"I'm Mila" she smiled shyly.  "what's your name?" She asked.
"I... I'm Skylar" I lied a bit hesitantly. Weird, now I can't remember my name? Jeez.

I told Mila everything I had experienced so far ever since I woke up. I told her that I couldn't remember anything of my past... But my name which is a lie but I don't want her thinking I'm that stupid. While we talked, we ate all kinds of junky food, but man it tasted like heaven. I swear I was never so happy about having food touch my tongue! It was all just so delicious!
"Skylar, you know the creatures are called raiders, at least that's what my group calls them" Mila explained while eating some chips. " raiders?"
"yeah, those things are blind, that's our advantage but they have one hell of a sense of smell and hearing". "Oh... And what's this group of yours?"." A group is a group of survivors, duh. But sadly the raiders aren't our only enemies, other groups are too, they'll kill for your food, weapons and other stuff. That's why you should my group, that is if Troy let's you"." Troy? Is he your groups leader?"." Yup"

I took a moment to consider about joining the group. At first I thought  it wasn't the best idea cause they'll expect stuff from me plus, sharing and working with others wasn't something I was really interested in. But for my sake of protection, I had no choice.
