The Infected: The Beginning of the End

Chapter 8

"Go get the others, we'll need every person here to protect this place". Grace went as fast as she could, and went running throughout the store to get the others. " Hey Jonathan?" Bethany asked. "What????" I was really startled, and nervous at the same time. It wasn't a good time to talk to me. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of an idea". She then caught my attention, " Ok what?" "Maybe one of us could go out there and draw the herd away? I mean, we used to do that all the time at the camp I was at before here". " Yeah that's a great idea Bethany, Grace could you come here?" Grace wasn't looking good, but was still in good condition. "Yeah?" "Bethany thought of a great idea, and that's to draw the infected away from here, and that involves one of us going out there". She just stood there in a confused face, "So what's that mean Jonathan?" "It means that I'm going to be going out again, and I'll need you in charge here". I didn't get what I usually get from her, she was not happy one bit. "Ok look buddy, I know we're good friends and all, but I'm not your slave ok? And I'm certainly not your babysitter here. I'm going out and your staying here this time. Understand?" I just stood their a little shocked and nodded my head in agreement. "I guess that's settled then. I'll be staying here and protecting the place with the others while your gone. Am I right?". " Yes your right, and I'll be going now". "We'll see you later". She rushed out the door, and that was the last time we saw her for a little bit.
Grace Point of View:
"Ok what should I do?" I started taking to myself like a crazy person, "I guess I'll just find some fireworks". I continued on and on with my talking as I was making my way through the woods. "Looks like this is the firework store up ahead". It was a huge store with a little amount of fireworks. I checked every isle, and couldn't find any. When I searched the last isle, I found the jackpot but ran into a little problem. " Oh thank god!!" I lifted the fireworks in the air. Click Click "Drop your weapons now!!" I turned around, and saw a small dirty looking family. "Here go ahead and take it". I handed over my weapon, but not the one that was behind my back. "What are you doing here?" The mother said. "That's none of your business". The father took his bloody knuckles and hit me in the face extremely hard. "Now, what was that again?" He asked. I pulled out my gun, and shot the wife in her temple, BLAM!!! The 3 others pulled their guns on me, and shot me in my right shoulder. All I could feel at that moment was blood coming out my body, and one of the children were dragging me to their car while the dad said, "You'll make a great addition to our group". That was the last time I heard anything. I closed my eyes, and prayed that this was all just a dream.

2 hours Later:
"Get her up!!! She'll be meeting the leader in a few minutes!!!" The youngest child of the father woke me up, and I couldn't handle any of it. There were too many people I didn't know, and I didn't even know where we were. There's no way that I will be able to make it out of here. The young girl then spoke to me, "Hello, my name is Bria. I will be taking you to see the master". " The master???" I asked, "Yes the master. She'll be meeting you very soon. Please come with me". Bria grabbed my hand, and guided me throughout the somewhat nice camp. As she dragged me along, I saw doctors caring for people, kids having fun, adults playing cards, even seeing dogs chasing each other! I was so confused... Why would someone knock me out to drag me to such a nice place as this? " Master!!!" The little 8 year old Bria yelled throughout the beautiful, small, little house. "Ah yes Bria?" A familiar voice asked, "What is it dear?". "The new woman is here to see you". The powerful woman looked away from the child, and put all focus on me. " Hello Grace, its been a long time since I've seen you..." I stared at the mysterious, woman's face for a couple seconds. "Do I know you?". " Of course dear, and we've got a lot of catching up to do". I was a little spooked. Yes the woman sounded familiar, but I couldn't tell who she was by her face. "What was it about that guy saying I could make a good addition to your group?" I scarcely asked. " Oh yes, that's Ezekiel, and yes, you will make an addition to our group....... "And how is that?" "In a way you wouldn't expect". I looked around in all directions to see where the creepy woman went, but didn't find her. "Now just hold still". A figure came behind me, and put a bag over my head, where I couldn't breathe or see anything. What's kind of group is this????
