2 months later

Scratchers haven't been seen for a while and we are starting to think there has been a cure.

We all sit on the porch laughing and eating canned corn. The best corn right?

Carl gets up and walks inside. The kids follow right behind leaving me and my sister alone outside.

"I like him.." Cloe said.

"What?" I replied.

"He is meant for you. I see the way you guys act around each other, you guys are in love and even though I don't want to admit it most of the time, I like him and he is a great friend. He would be a great brother-in-law if you know what I'm saying." She smirked

I just laughed and shook my head.

I can't picture my life without him. Without his presence, his warmth, his love. Just, him..

"You know that time when we said we were never going to get married and we where just going to live together and eat s'mores and drink hot chocolate?" I laughed thinking about the past. The good past.

"Yeah." She chuckled.

"I can't believe how much the world has changed, everyone's turned into savages, monsters. It's every man for himself now... I'm just glad we still have our sanity.." I looked at Cloe and saw her squinting at something. Like she was trying to figure out what something was.

I look in the direction she was staring and saw three grown men with shotguns.

"Get inside.... Now!" I slightly yelled at her.

She ran inside and I stayed for a few seconds then ran inside as well.

"Carl?!" I yelled and saw all of them in the living room hiding the kids.

"Babe? What's going on?" He hugged me tight then looked into my eyes trying to figure out what's going on.

"Cloe and I saw three men with shotguns walking towards the house. Fast.." I said in a trembling voice.

"Okay you guys need to hide, I'll talk care of them. The kids are hiding and they won't be found-" he was interrupted by the door being kicked down by the men.

I turned around and Carl, Cloe and I put up our guns. We all froze.

They held their guns up.

"Haven't seen you guys in a while. How've you been? I see you've found a friend too." He smirked at my little sister.

"Touch her and I swear to god I'll blow your brains out." I said sternly.

"What do you mean by "haven't seen you guys in a while?"" Carl asked gun still up ready to shoot.

"Oh, just I remember like it was just yesterday. You and the group. You guys were all nice and comfortable in that orphanage. Then when we let all those monsters in the cafeteria.. Aw the group protected you and the kids and risked themselves. Pretty sane group y'all had." He moved the toothpick in his mouth to the other side of his mouth.

"You killed everyone..." I said through tears. "YOU BITCH!" I screamed shooting one of the men in the head killing him.

Then everything went dark... Quiet...
