Enid's P.O.V.
This women is holding me hostage, I guess I won't know what it's like to live outside in a apocalypse.

Jane is gone, and I'm devastated. I just wanna die too and be with her, but I know she wouldn't want me to do that.

I got released from the chair. But now i'm handcuffed to a pipe on the wall upstairs, with a gag in my mouth. I think this is much worse in my opinion.

I fiddle with my free hand, just wondering what's it's like in heaven and if Jane is happy. I got so focused on my right hand that I didn't even hear the front door open.

I hear a man, he's giving directions.

"You go over this way and I'll go into the kitchen." He said.

Maybe they can help me! I have to try.

"Mmmmmm!!!!" I yell with the gag in my mouth.

"What was that?" I heard a women's voice
say.

"Mm mmmm mmm!" I say, trying to make out words.

I than hear slow footsteps up the stairs, I think this is time to take it up a notch.

I'm in the little girls room on the wall by the door, so I reach my free hand as far as it could go to the door and start banging, to show which room I'm in.

"Mmmmmmm!!" I say again.

Suddenly the door opened, and I was face to face with a man with a black scruffy beard.

"Grace! It's a child." He announced to a women named Grace. A women than barged in, she had long brown hair that went up to her back. She doesn't seem as strong as the man, she seems inexperienced.

The man untied my gag and throws it to the side.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asks.

I've heard those questions before.

"The women here, she captured me and killed my sister. She went on a run for more supplies, so your safe for now. And before you ask me, no I don't have a group, it was just me and my sister." I explain.

"Ok, I'll help you." The man said. "But where are the keys to those handcuffs?"

"I don't know. She walked out and I heard her throw them on something hard. Maybe they are on a table someone out there." I explain

The man walked out the door to search as the woman comforted me.

"What's your name honey?" She asked

"E-Enid." I said nervously.

"Enid! Never heard anything like that before."

I study her while she's talking, she's positive and happy. They must be staying somewhere safe. Maybe a village, with food and lots of people.

"Are you named after a relative?" She asked

I snapped back into reality.

"I'm sorry?" I asked

"I said are you named after a relative?"

I thought for a second. I remember my dad saying something about being named after my great aunt.

"Um, I think my great aunt. But I'm not positive."

"Oh! Well I was named after my mother. I'm Grace by the way, and that is Larry." She smiled.

"Nice to meet you."

"Found them!" I heard Larry say.

Suddenly I heard the front door open. Oh shit.

"Guys you have to hide! Go out the window and
Stand on the ledge. Shut the door too!" I whispered/ yelled.

They nodded their heads and scooted out the window after shutting the door.

Oh shit! The gag!

I quickly put it around my mouth and put my head against the wall to keep it in place.

I heard boots tapping up the stairs. I'm praying she doesn't come in here!

The door then opens and she stands there giving me a stern look.

"Where are the keys?" She says blankly.

I turn pale! I have no words.

"I said," she said as she pulled out a knife. "Where are the k-"

Before she could finish her sentence, a bullet goes through her head and she lands on the ground. My ears are ringing from the noise.

I look over and see Larry holding a pistil through the window.

I think me and him will get along really well
