A Pentagon of Problems (COMPLETED)

Chapter 6, Run

Chapter 6

Lizzie's POV:

We lived for a while in that little house, living off the food there and the creek next to the house. Yammy had gained some weight, and we all were living life to the fullest that we could in the zombie apocalypse. The kids started to grow hair and were adorable. Luke had Joel's curly brown hair and he also had Joel's big brown eyes. Lily had my straight hair( that was strangely blonde) and my blue eyes. Little Hope had Joel's curly brown hair and my blue eyes. Hope was learning to eat a bit better and she and the others were all gaining weight.

"They are so CUTE!!" Yammy screeched as they played around.

"Thank you," I blushed and brushed Luke's curls out of his eyes. Luke grabbed my hand and said his first word,

"Mumma"

"OH MY GOD!! Joel, get in here, Luke just said his first word!"

"What?" Joel scrambled to get in the room. "What did he say?"

"He said Mumma! Joel it was so cute!"

Just as Joel was going to take a picture, Lily said, "Daddy?"

Joel gasped and said, "Yes, Lily," He picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, "I'm daddy, and this," He put her in my lap, "Is Mummy."

It had paid off! We had been addressing each other as Daddy and Mummy for months and it worked. We were so happy and then we saw little Hope in the corner, and I said, "Do you have something to say, Hope?"

She said, "We wuv you"

Joel and I gasped and hugged all of our little kids and Yammy took pictures. Then we heard a knock at the door. Joel checked the window, and his face went as pale as paper.

Joel's POV:

Daddy. I'm a daddy. We were enjoying the beautiful moment when we heard a knock on the door. I looked outside, and there they were. The zombies that had been nagging at my mind forever. I had just started to think that they were gone, but clearly, I was wrong.

"Lizzie? Would you come over here for a minute?"

"Sure," She set down Lily and went up to the window. She gasped.

"Yammy, get the kids, and start packing." I whispered. "Lizzie, get your bow, and go up to the top window and shoot some of them."

I left the window and went to help Yammy pack.

After about ten minutes I heard Lizzie say something from upstairs. "What?" I shouted up at her.

"There is a police officer here. He is killing the zombies." She shouted back, "Do I shoot him?"

"No! He might be here to deliver news."

We headed down stairs and cracked open the door.

"Hand over your children." The officer said.

"No!" Lizzy said and protectively protected the entrance.

"Either hand them over, or I will kill them."

"He's a fake," I whispered to Lizzie. "Gather them and the stuff and get out. I'll be right behind you."

I distracted the guy for a good ten minutes. Enough. "Sucker," I shot him in the leg, "Bye!" I ran into the woods headed in the direction of Lizzie's footsteps.

Lizzie's POV:

We ran for a good 10 minutes. We stopped and then kept running. We circled back to our old camp and stopped. About 20 minutes had past and then Joel came. I ran up to him, kissed him, and then Yammy gasped, "Kyle?!"

Kyle came stumbling into the meadow and Yammy ran up to him, kissed him and started sobbing.

"Kyle!" Joel and I shouted.

"Hi!" He collapsed in the grass.

"Here, let me help you." Joel handed me Luke and headed towards the river with Kyle. I headed back, only to find a lone zombie just about to bite Hope.

"NOOOOOO!" I screamed. The zombie was after me, not her. He looked up and started to stumble towards me. I started to fight him, but I couldn't. Eventually I ended up under him. I screamed, and just as he took his first bite out of me, Joel shot him.

"Lizzie?! Lizzie!?" Joel whispered. He went up to my side, shaking me.

"I'm ok, I'm ok." I gasped. I caressed his face and kissed his cheek. One tear slid down my face. He picked me up. Yammy, who was right behind him, grabbed the kids and we all went to the river.

It didn't take long for Joel to explain to me that I wasn't going to turn into a zombie. Though, I was very confused. Apparently they were programmed so that if you weren't a YouTuber, if you were bit, you either turned into a zombie or you just had a big gash in your body. If you were a YouTuber, they were programmed to kill. They didn't want YouTubers to be zombies, they wanted them to die. So the zombie that tried to kill me wouldn't turn me into a zombie.

Joel cleaned my neck up and wrapped a bandage around it. We decided to set up in the meadow again, it was getting dark so we had to settle down some where. So we did.
