Jonas and Amylia are gone. It's just me and Dustin, now. I fight back the tears as I think of them.
"Look at that mountain. We might be able to hide out there. It might just work." I hear Dustin say.
"And what if it doesn't? What will we do then?" I ask.
"I don't know, but we have to atleast try." He answers a little worried. We decide to climb the mountain.
.......
I look around and see a spring along with trees filled with fruits and nuts. Three hours have passed, but we are at the top of the mountain, now.
"Finally!" I hear Dustin yell. "This has to work. We have plenty of food and water, but we need a shelter and some sort of defense incase the zombies find us." I fill my water jug with the spring water that almost seems to be glistening in the evening sunlight.
"Ooooohhh. So now, all of a sudden, you are the smart guy?" I say sarcastic like. "Of course we need a defense and shelter!" I add
"Shut up!" He giggles. We laugh for a couple of seconds.
"It's going to get dark soon. Let's go ahead and set up camp, then take a rest. We've worked hard enough." I say smiling, still thinking of the joke.
.......
I'm sleeping so soundly, dreaming about Amylia. The memories make me forget what is going on around me in reality. The apocalypse seems so unreal. It's almost disconnecting me from reality. It's starting to get really hard to comprehend what's going on. It's almost as if I'm going crazy, literally. I'm still dreaming about Amylia.
"Zombies!!!" Dustin yells, making me, now, wide awake. I jump out of bed and put on my shoes.
"We need to get out of here. Got any plans?!" He screams. Screaming was probably not the best choice. The zombies heard us and started to come our way.
"Would you be quiet, your scream is drawing more of them in, loud mouth!" I answer back.
We get out of the shelter, and run in the opposite direction. I shoot a couple of zombies which helped a little, but more of the zombies started to come our way.
"Now who is the loud one?!" He counters.
.......
We are still running. We are starting to lose energy. We've run for about five minutes now. It doesn't seem long, accept when you're running for your life! The zombies are gaining ground. I hear a scream. I look to see Dustin about to be ripped to pieces by a horde of zombies.
"Get up! Hurry!" I yell to him.
"My ankle! I think I sprained it!" I hear him yell, struggling to get up. I try to rush to his aid, but I was, too late. The zombies were already hovering over him.
"Go! Save yourself!" He yells his last words. Zombies pile on top of him, ripping him to shreds. It frightens me so much, I can't even cry, or scream, or hardly even breath, but I do manage to try to make a run for it.
I am able to shoot a couple, but there's just, too many. I'm losing energy, and fast. I need to find a way out of this, but there's no way. I get so weak, I fall to the ground. I shield my face thinking I was dead, but wait! Why am I not dead, nor feeling teeth rip into my skin? I look up to see a guy with blueish-grey eyes. He's wearing a Green Day, American Idiot t-shirt. It's all ripped up. He's also wearing ripped up blue jeans and a medallion necklace with brown combat boots. He has brown shaggy hair.
I see a giant wall in the distance. It looks like a blocked in town. He helps me up, and we run for it. The gates to it are humongous. When they open, they are unexpectedly silent. I see some soldiers. They rush us in, shooting the zombies behind us. Everything is getting dark. I'm out cold. My body goes limp. They carry me in. I'm safe. He's safe. We're safe.
