The sun was shining as everyone was officially awake and looked not as tired as yesterday.
"Good morning Brooklyn!" Emily said as I got a good morning kiss from King. I laughed as I wiped the dog slobber off my face. We had nothing planned today since we just wanted to go to New York and be safe before we lost anybody else. Today seemed like a pretty nice day, except as soon as we hit the USA boarder it started raining.
"I can't drive while it's raining." Alayna said as she was still driving from yesterday. Mr. Harrison decided to switch with her. She pulled the car over as he climbed into the front seat and she took his place in the back. Mr. Harrison whispered something into Jack's ear before Jack moved over telling me to switch with him. I didn't argue with Jack as I moved into the front seat beside Mr. Harrison. "I just love how Mr. Harrison and Brooklyn have to always sit beside each other. It's kind of gross but cute." Alayna said rolling her eyes as I looked at her as everyone smirked at me. Mr. Harrison just chuckled slightly as he lifted his arm up on the back of the seat. His fingers motioned me over to him so I could sit directly beside him. I smirked moving over hitting his hip hard enough to make him say 'oomph.' He took his hand out front behind me as he placed his hand on his wound.
"Does it hurt?" I asked as I moved slightly moving his hand to see it bleeding a bit. "Owen? His wound is bleeding again. Help me bandage him up." I said as Owen instantly popped up and climbed into the front.
"The best thing to do is pull over before you kill us all." Emily said as Mr. Harrison nodded his head pulling into an old looking building that had a sign that read 'Buffalo SawMill.' No one got out of the car but I did have to move before Owen helped patch Mr. Harrison up. Once he was finished patching him up it began to pour harder, it began to thunder and lightning too making me jump.
"Alright let's just uh keep moving." Emily said looking out the window at how the storm was like a storm she has never seen before. I curled up to Mr. Harrison's side as I got a little scared and jumped every time the thunder came rolling in. Mr. Harrison placed the keys in the ignition and started the car except it didn't start.
"Why exactly aren't we moving?" Jack asked becoming a little paranoid.
"Yeah uh we are a little stuck." Mr. Harrison said as he bit his lip. I looked at him in shock.
"What do you mean stuck?" Alayna asked as sass filled her voice. She want impressed and I could tell.
"As in the car won't start." Mr. Harrison said as he completely sassed Alayna back. He continued trying to start the car just as he did a lightning bolt came into the ground in front of the car making us all scream as a fire was started but then it was taken out by the amount of rain that was pouring down. "Everybody inside the building now!" Mr. Harrison said as he ran out of the car followed by everyone else. Mr. Harrison, Alayna, Emily and Owen along with Shawn ran into the building. Jack, the dog and I were just about to run through the door as a lightning bolt struck the ground making us go flying in different directions. I remember seeing orange flames, everything else was not visible.

---When I woke up I was completely afraid. I jumped up trying to catch my breath before being pulled down by Alayna, her and the sharp pain I felt in my right hip. I put my hand down as I felt gauze wrapped around it.
"Don't fight it. You got a worse wound than Mr. Harrison." She said as I leaned back looking around at everyone. I seen Owen, Shawn and the dog.
"Where's...Jack? And everyone else?" I said my voice cracking a bit.
"Jack is fine. He is on the other side of the room sleeping since he has a few broken ribs from the blast." She said pointing to where the dog was lying beside Jack. Owen came over to me as Shawn followed.
"Brooklyn, I'm glad your okay." Shawn said smiling slightly. Owen just smiled down at me as he moved my shirt slightly to see my wound.
"You got a nice cut. Luckily it didn't go any deeper." Owen said as he patted my stomach before he leaned back.
"Where is Emily and Mr. Harrison?" I said as I sat up a bit more. Alayna and Owen looked at each other and then at me.
"They are in another room. They didn't want to see you in this state." Owen explained as he pointed to another room. "King, go get Mr. Harrison and Emily." Owen demanded as the dog got up and left the room. I stared in shock as Mr. Harrison and Emily came walking through the door with the dog pushing them forward. Emily came running over to me.
"How are you feeling?" She asked as she held my hand. I nodded my head.
"I'm good. Why aren't you coming over here?" I asked directed to Mr. Harrison. He scratched the back of his neck as he motioned everyone to leave. Everyone did except for Jack who was still asleep. He sat beside me as he rested his head in his hands.
"You almost got killed and it would have been my fault." He said quietly as he didn't even look at me. I sighed as I grabbed my hip in pain. He instantly moved his head to look at me. "Are you okay?" He asked with concern filling his voice. I nodded my head as I sat up a bit more.
"I'm fine. I should really listen to you more. I should stop protecting everyone else and start protecting myself. I just hope you know that this isn't your fault it's mine. I stopped to keep up with Jack. I'm-" I said as I was cut off with everyone rushing into the room.
"Sorry to interrupt but we have a lot of company." Emily said as the dog began to bark. Owen woke up Jack as everyone got up making sure we were all okay and ready to leave. We walked towards the door where we were leaving, but that was when we had to change out direction. Zombies came flowing in like there was no tomorrow.
"Turn around! Go up!" Emily said as we did as she told us to. We ran up the stairs as the zombies chased us up the stairs.
"Owen take Brooklyn, I'm going to shoot them!" Mr. Harrison ordered Owen helped me up as he stayed behind a bit more shooting the zombies. Owen and I reached the one platform that connected two stair cases. The platform fell from underneath us as Owen fell through...
