I gasped the moment I saw her staring back at me, she had her blonde hair in a high ponytail as she had tears in her eyes the moment she saw me. It was my sister Layla, I quickly ran over to the door when Nora backed away from the window as she noticed me starting to try and pry away at the wood planks.

" help me! " I yelled before Nora leaned her head back and sighed before hopping off the couch and ran over to the door as Lucas grabbed the hammer from me and properly removed the nails causing the wood pieces on the door to fall off.

I opened the door quickly as Layla ran over to me with open arms hugging me tightly, I didn't let go for a long time. I wanted to just keep hugging my sister, it felt like I had nothing to worry about anymore now that I knew she was okay. I cried happy tears as she did to before walking in.

" your alive " she smiled her voice cracking still as she wiped under her eyes, " yes I am " I smiled over towards Lucas and Nora who smiled back. " I'm glad you all are " she said going to both Lucas and Nora hugging them individually.

" how bad is it out there? " Lucas questioned pointing towards the door, " it's pretty bad, the streets down there are getting more filled, the school was terrible and the city is gonna be bad according to Dylan " Layla nodded as she turned her head over to me, " Dylan's alive? Where is he! " I questioned as Layla smiled.

" hopefully still safe at our new home like I asked him to be " she laughed as she walked around the apartment, " you guys aren't safe here " she turned around quickly as we just looked at her confused. " the school has a timer still set for the bell hours, it will attract more and more zombies here which will cause them to come here " Layla said as I looked at Nora it was her family's apartment it was up to her.

" as much as I wanna stay, Layla is right " Nora sighed as Lucas nodded before walking to the bedroom, " do you and Dylan have room? " I asked as Layla stopped. " yes we do, pack what you guys need we have a car " Layla held up car keys when Lucas peeked out of the doorway holding up his car keys with a laugh.

" alright we got two then, you guys will follow me alright? " Layla spoke as I quickly ran over and grabbed all my stuff packing it into my bag. Nora grabbed a few extra bags as we completely raided the rest of the apartment with stuff we needed.

" follow me " Layla spoke as she got into the front seat of her car as I opened the passenger seat, " I wanna go with you " I said as I sat down buckling my seat belt. " alright then " Layla waved as a signal for Lucas and Nora to start following.

We drove up the road a different direction as we passed herds of zombies small and big ones, " how did you find me? " I said slightly as Layla sighed before telling me the whole story about how she went to the school and nearly died a few different times.

" you did that to try and find me? " I felt a little bit of guilt knowing my sister would go through all of that just to find me, " obviously, I forced Dylan to stay home because he tried to go with me and I couldn't have him get hurt or killed " she formed a slight smile on her face.

She quickly turned up the road towards a house surrounded by trees and greenery along with a lake far down the back yard, " this is beautiful " I gasped as I looked around outside of the window. " Dylan is gonna start crying the moment he see's you here Oak " Layla grabbed the bags we had in the back as I helped. I grabbed the keys to.
