After Emily and I reunited, I decided to go talk to the others. Amerie treated me like another daughter before this all started, and since I lost my mom, shes the closest thing I have. Emily started up a convosation with Dan, to get to know him. So I walked over to Amerie and Melony and said hello.
"Megan! Oh my god, you have changed so much!" Melony yelled.
"You look lovely." Amerie added in with a smile.
I gave them a smile back and looked down at the clothes I had on. Lovely? My hair was a mess, blood was splattered all over my nice plaid shirt and black jeans, and I looked like I needed a serious shower.
"Thanks." Even thought it wasnt true.
"You have grown up well. You look nothing like your twelve year old self! You and Emily could seriously pull off as twins!" Melony shrieked once again.
"We told Emily not give her hopes up about finding you and Logan. With how the world looks, it seems like nothing ever goes your way anymore." Amerie sighed. "But we are so glad that you made it this far! I'm surprised nine year old Emily found her way back home from the babysitters house. I remember going over there for some kitchen supplies when I heard crying, looking into one of the cupboards sat Emily." Her face began to look gloomy.
"Good thing I found her when I did." Amerie added.
"I'm so thankful you did." I smiled at her, making sure that she knew how truely grateful I was to her for protecting Em.
"How about you? How did you make it all these years? What about Logan?" Melony asked.
"Logan, uhm, passed away when this all started. I've been with another group, their in the woods not to far from here."
Thats when I realized, I could get back to my camp! Its been a week or so since I've been 'home' and they are probably so worried about me. What would Paul say or do once he sees me! How would he even react to Dan? I mean obviously I would take him with me. Hopefully Paul likes him, if not then I dont know what I would do.
"Wait! Your telling me that Logan didnt make it!" Melony screamed loudy. I tried to get her to tone it down a notch, but it was to late. Emily heard.
"Megan? Wheres Logan?" She turned around to face me, her bright blue perky eyes looked extremely sad. I didnt want her to find out this way. I wanted to tell her, just not this early.
I bowed my head down low and replied, "I'm sorry. Logan passed away protecting me from those creatures. He sacrificed himself."
The room became silent, the only thing you heard was the small crys Emily was producing.
Dan came over to me and hugged me, knowing that it was hard for me as well as Emily about our older brother. I hugged Dan back and held back tears that were beginning to form, seeing Emily cry was a horrible sight.
"This is all your fault!" Emily yelled at me all of a sudden.
"Why'd you let him sacrifice himself? Hmm?" She questioned me as she got up into my face.
"Emily, I know your upset but trust me. It was hard on me too." The tears were now running off of my cheeks.Dan comforted me even more. Knowing that it wasnt my fault.
"No. Fuck you Megan." She pushed Dan aside and got even more into my face. "Leave."
