The Perfect Storm

Brook POV

Present time

It was dark outside and I was out hunting in the woods for some food .  squirrels , rabbits , anything I could find to bring back to rest of the group. Me and the others haven't eaten in three days and we were all starving. A Hurd of walkers broke into our last home and killed some of our people we lost some good people, now were back into the woods where we first started when the world basically ended.

I had my bowing arrow with me and a gun. I was good with arrows and shooting. My father used to take me hunting before he died.We had a cabin we used to hunt at every weekend. After searching in the woods  for a few hours I finally found something it was two squirrels and one rabbit it wasn't much but it was enough to get us through the night.

As I was walking back to where me and the rest of the group sat up our tents. I began to hear rustling coming from behind me. I looked back and there was nothing but the trees then silence. I began to have a uneasy feeling that I was being followed. But After looking back and not seeing anything I figured maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. I haven't been getting any sleep these past few days.

I walked up to the others all sitting on a log by the fire with all the  tents set up. It was James , Julio, Lu , and my little brother Nick. Nick was sitting next to James and they were laughing."Brook... you're back " My little brother yelled in excitement once he saw me. He began to run towards me and gave me a hug. "I told you I'll be back". I said putting my hands on his head. After our father was killed by a walker it was just me and Nick for a year by ourselves but  that was all until we met James and he introduce us to to the others. If it wasn't for him me and my brother probably would've been dead by now. "Find anything"? James asked. I nodded my head yes then pulled out the squirrels and rabbit from my book bag. James grabbed them from my hand and Began to cook them on the fire.

"Where's Branden"? I asked once I noticed he wasn't out here with the rest of the group" He's in his tent ". Lu said. Branden was very closed of from the rest of us but he the one who kept everything going good. He was like our leader nobody ever questioned him. He always done what was needed to keep up alive.

Once we were all finished eating. Eveyone went to their tents to get some rest. We were all leaving early in the morning to find supplies at a old pharmacy food, medicine , and maybe we could find other like us.... Alive

I shared a tent with my brother and everyone else shared one by themselves. "Brook"? My brother said as we were laying in our tent. " Yes Nick"? I asked "do you believe there's more people out there"? He asked. "Yes nick I do... and we'll find them one day. or maybe they'll find us. But get you some rest we have a long day tomorrow" I said cutting off the lamp.

The next day

I woke up to silence and Nick was still sleeping on the side of me. I got up quietly trying not wake him up. I left out the tent and seen James and the others. They were all getting ready and packing some of their things. I looked over at Lu and she was trying to clock her gun back but it kept slipping. I walked over towards here to help. " Her let me help you" I said reaching my hand out she looked at me then handed me her gun. " Like this" I said showing her how to do it then handing her gun back to her.

She took it out and put back in to try for herself and she did it right without it slipping "Thank you" she said smiling at me. I nodded my head then went back my tent and began to wake Nick up so he could start getting ready. " Nick " I said tapping him but he didn't get up he just turned his body to the other side. After a few attempts of trying to wake him up he finally began to move and got up. " it's time already"?  He asked leaning up looking around.

I looked down then saw his glasses they were in the front of him. I picked them up then handed them to him. Nick seeing wasn't that good when he didn't have his glasses. "Yeah " I said then he started stretching stretching his arms. " Start getting ready " I said leaving out the tent.

Everyone was all standing around in a circle and Branden was standing in the middle. "Okay there's a pharmacy just a little outside of town.' We're going to take both of the cars and leave the truck just incase something goes wrong" Branden said " When we get there grab whatever you can. And try not to use your gun's for the walkers you know their attracted to sound and we can't lose anyone else". Everyone nodded there head agreeing with him. He was right. We couldn't lose anyone else.

Lu, Branden , and Julio got in a car together and Me , Nick , and James got into the other we following behind Branden. As we were on the way driving to the pharmacy their weren't any walkers on the road and it the ride was silent.

I couldn't help but to wonder where the others were. It's always been us same people for two years. I couldn't help but to start wondering if we we're the only ones left in this world.. us and the walkers, but that couldn't be possible could it ?
