Apocalypse

Twenty-Four

Climbing into my truck, Demetri and John are also here along with a few humans are taking a separate vehicle since they still don't trust the vampires but are willing to try to live peacefully with them. "So Demetri? John? Did you two know each other before the apocalypse?"

"We did" John says, this English accent evident "we met in the...eighteenth?"

Nodding his head "Eighteenth century, England. Aro had me bring him in to he turned"

"What was your gift?" From what I understand, those in the Volturi before only came in if they have gifts "also why do I have a feeling Aro is only keeping those with gifts?"

"He is" John confirms "and my gift is similar to Benjamin's, I can manipulate the earth. Only the earth"

"If you can do that" I ask "could you add to already existing stone?" He nods his head "do you think...would you mind using your gift to manipulate the stone we already have?"

"Sure" nodding his head "it'll take a while but I can manipulate it"

"I'm sorry, but back to the humans" I protest my case of helping those humans "if there is a chance we can save those humans, we take it. Not kill but save, give them a chance"

"Aro will have upgraded the security to the humans" Demetri tells me "if we did manage to get them, it'll take more than just you"

Stopping outside of the supermarket, we get out and join the others "the army" Daryl explains to us the fence "came in and out these fences up, made it a place for the people to go"

"Obviously didn't work" I say

"Last week" he continues "when we spotted this place, there was a bunch of walkers behind this chain link"

"They drew them away with a boom box" Demetri tells me "they set up a couple days ago"

"Let's head inside" I order "get as much shit as we need" nodding their heads we go inside. Each take a cart. John and Demetri keep and eye out for walkers, those we find and kill they bring to my truck to be added to our blood supply which I was told has made it to over a thousand gallons of blood. I mean each humans contains about ten pints of blood and a gallon is eight pints and the barrels can hold about forty two gallons. Fuck my head hurts. All I know is that there is enough blood to go through for a long time.

Going to the liquor aisle, I start to pile up the liquor "That's" the new recruit Bob comments on all the wine I'm getting "a lot of alcohol"

"No point in leaving it on these shelves" I say getting as much liquor as I can, I notice Bob's heart race as he looks at the bottles "everything alright Bob?"

He nods his head "Yeah"

"I'll" John is here "take this" he hands me an empty cart since the cart I had is completely filled with liquor.

Grabbing more, I make sure that Bob goes back to finding something "The plates" he looks at me "the kitchen stuff" pointing over to a few aisles down "why don't you get some more kitchen appliances?" He nods his head going over, I don't trust that guy. With how he was looking at the liquor.

After Demetri took this cart and handed me a new one, I go over and grab the TVs. There is much we can do with TVs even though people might not think so. As I stock up on the TVs Sasha comes over.

"I don't understand" Sasha asks seeing what I'm doing "why do we need TVs?"

"There is much" I say "we can do with electronics, one thing I know is that even though a lot of things run on fossil fuel, there is a chance to go in another direction for power. Like solar or wind or something else"

Demetri and John help me stock up on things here and in the back, once we are done we go to leave but we then hear a crash. "What was that?" Tyreese asks

"I got my foot stuck" Bob calls out. Going over, with a flick of my wrist the shelves are off of Bob. He gets up and says "thank you"

"Let's get our of here" going to the vehicles, I see that everything is packed and it was a good thing we brought the two cargo vans.

Demetri drives back as I rest "Phoenix?" John asks "where were you born?"

"Germany"

"Really?" Demetri asks

Nodding my head "My mother was a viking, dad a cold one"

"I thought she was a witch?" John asks

Demetri chuckles "a viking witch" clarifying "that Bob" changing the subject "I want him to be watched over, I think before the apocalypse he was a drunk. Still is but who knows?"

"He might get someone killed" Demetri says "if he goes on a supply run and finds a bottle of vodka or something"

"I'll talk to Charles and Rick" I say "about making our plans on leaving much sooner, I don't trust that the Governor being let go was the right choice. I would have killed him"

"Some in the settlement" John tells me "feel the same as you" I have a bad feeling, same as before. We need to get everything from the prison packed up before leaving, right now.
