I wake up. I'm staring at a ceiling. I blink. Where am I? I sit up and look around. I'm in a room I've never seen before. I'm suppose to be dead, not all nice and cozy in this room. I pull back the covers and get up. I step into the hallway. 

"Hello?" I call out. I get no reply. There has to be someone here. I go down the stairs and turn the corner into the dining room. There he sat, eating breakfast. He looks up and smiles. 

"I was worried you weren't going to wake up." He says 

"Where am I?" I ask. 

"This is my family's house." He replies.

"Where did you find me?" I ask. 

"In the river, with hardly a pulse." He explains. 

"Yeah, someone tried to kill me." I say. 

"There are others?" He asks. I nod. 

"By the way, my name is Micah." He says with a smile.  I smile back. 

"I'm Tabby." He gets up and goes to the other room and brings a plate for me. He sets it down on the table. 

"Thanks." I say as I sit down. I shove food into my mouth. I glance up and Micah is watching me. I blush. I must look like a pig. 

"I need to find my friends." I say. He looks down at his plate. 

"How many are there?" He asks.

"Well there's Parker, Niall, Isabel, Gabby, Austin, and.. Damon." I reply.

"Is Damon not a friend?" He asks. I shake my head. 

"He the one who tried to kill me." Micah frowns. 

"Where is everyone?" I ask him. 

"I lost my mom and.. Sister to the zombies." He looks down again. "Who have you lost?" 

"Many." I say. "I lost four friends, my boyfriend and my.. Brother." My lip quivers. I can feel the tears coming. He puts his hand on mine. I look at him, straight into his emerald green eyes. 

"I will help you find them."
