The Beginning of the End

chapter 13

3 days have gone by and Sky and Blaise have done nothing suspicious. Maybe I did hear them wrong. I'm just being paranoid. But, if I didn't hear wrong, then something big was gonna happen in 4 days. I really hope they're innocent. We let Janet leave yesterday. After being sure that she wouldn't bring people back here, we decided to blind fold her and drive her hours away, leaving her to fend for herself. I've spent the past 3 days training and reading books. "Hey, jasmine?" I turn and see Beth standing at my door. "Yeah, Cutie?" I smile at her. She shakes her head and laughs. "Taylor wants us to head out and find some more bandages for Jessicas leg." She explains. I hop off my bed and head towards my clothes. "Okay, give me ten minutes to get ready." I say. She nods and walks away. I throw on some black pants and black sleeveless shirt. I throw a blue Beanie on my head and slip my leather jacket on, grabbing my weapons and heading out the door.

"There's a hospital a few towns over." Harley says. She was sitting in the back seat, her cross bow laying next to her. Beth was in the front, sharpening her knives. "We'll head there then." I say as I pull out of the school parking lot.

"How could we have run out of gas?!" Beth yells. "Beth, calm down." Harley tells her. We had been driving for an hour when the car stopped. There was a hole in the gas container, so it leaked during the entire drive, emptying quickly. "Guys, someone put a whole in the gas compartment." I told them. They stopped yelling and looked at me. "A hole?" Harley asks. "Yeah, they cut right through it. The gas has been leaking the entire time." I repeat. Beth throws her hands in the air, "who the fuck would do that?!" She screams. She turns and kicks the side of the car and then storms a few feet away, pacing back and forth. "How will we get back?" Harley asks. "Well," I start. "The hospital has to be near here. We walk to the hospital, get the bandages and medicine, and there's bound to be another car near the hospital." I tell her. She nods and looks ar Beth. "Beth." She says. "What?" She sighs, looking defeated. "We're gonna walk to the hospital. " I tell her. She looks at me, a glare on her face. "Well? What are we waiting for? " she asks and begins walking. "Um, beth?" I speak. She huffs and turns around. "What now? " she whines. I point in the opposite direction, "the hospital is that way." I say sheepishly. She glares and begins walking, me and Harley following.

We had been walking for an hour when I hear Beth yell, "Jasmine! The hospital!" I look to see she's pointing and in the distance is a large sign with a red 'H' on it. I smile, "come on." We get to the hospital and, like I thought, cars were all over the place. "We'll head inside, grab what we need, and then choose a car." I say. "Jasmine! Can we have the

pretty red car?!" Beth pleads. I shake my head at her, laughing and head into the building.

----------

After finding plenty bandages and anti biotics, along with pain killers, we head to the exit. Beth runs ahead in excitement, anxious to pick a car. She gets to the exit and halts. "Jasmine." She says, looking out the window with fear in her eyes. "What? What's wrong?" I jog to the door and look out, Harley slowly following behind. "Fuck!" I yell. The hospital lot is covered with infected. There were hundreds of them. The only thing visible besides the infected, were the tops of the cars. I storm away and kick the wall. "Fuck!" I scream. Harley looks at me with panic in her eyes. "What are we gonna do?" She squeaks. "Theyre everywhere!" Beth exclaims. I look out the window again. "Shit," I curse under my breath. "Its getting dark. They are probably worried about us back at the school." I state. Harley stares out window, worry in her eyes. "I say we just run out and kill the bastards. I can take 'em!" Beth exclaims, pretending to be a ninja. She pulls a knife out and throws it all the wall. It hits the wall and falls to the floor. "What...the...fuck?" I start laughing as she grumbles and stomps to her knife, picking it us and wiping away imaginary dust. "Look, we'll have to stay here overnight. Its already getting late," I say. "If they're still here in the morning, we'll come up with a plan." I say. Harley speaks up, "where could they have come from? The lot was empty when we got here." I look at her and shake my head. "I don't know." I say in defeat. Beths eyes turn wide and she pauses. "Guys..." she starts. "Wh-what if...someone led them here?" She stutters. I give her a weird look and ask, "what do you mean?" She puts her knives away and explains. "What if someone attracted them and brought them here. The infected followed them here!" She whispers. My eyes widen as I finally realize what's happening. "Sky and Blaise..."
