Broken Chain

Chapter 2: Little One

I walked out of my home for the last time lost, scared and lonley. I coulnd't believe what I saw. Am I really alone. blood, but no bodys? How could this be what happend? Maybe they were turned into one of those horrible things.

 I stumble out the door and kept walking. I didn't think I could keep going.  I sat at the end of my drive way just thinking on what to do next. I'm alone now is there even a reason the keep going now that my mom,dad, brother all gone. My friends to all gone and if they weren't I wouldn't even know where to start to look for them. I just sat there drowning in my own self pity. Then I heard a scream. I jumped up and ran towards the scream. When I got there I saw a shocking sight.

Oh my god, are you okay?! I put my hand over the huge gash in her neck to try and stop the bleeding. lady please stay with me! I said in a scared vocie. 

My daughter. She said in a low whisper. 

Yeah shes fine and your going to be fine too. SOMEONE HELP! I screamed. Your going to be okay I promised.When I turned back to the lady she grabed my arm hard. 

Watch over  my daughter for me. She pleaded. I know I won't make just take care of her. Her hands slowly slid off my arm leaveing a thick blood stain. 

No please I can't do this. I started shaking her head back and fourth. I lightly smacked  her face as if she was going to magicly wake up and, tell me that this was some sick joke. Wake up miss come on wake up. Then I realize shes...dead. I screamed at the top of my lungs. I can't help it, I started to cry. I wipe away the tears that had fallen on the ladys face, but I only replaced the tears with blood streaks.

 Then I heard somthing, but i didn't  care anymore to look up I just sat there. then I felt a tug on my shirt.

 We have to go a tiny voice told me. I ignored it, and shruged the little hand away. Come on please there coming. She tuged alittle harder on my shirt. I turned around then realized that she might be what the lady was talking about. Her own daughter right before she died was the last thing she wanted. Just for her little girl to be safe.

 Then little girl screamd. I turned around back at the lady and she alive again... She grabed my hair and pulled it as hard as she could towards her mouth and the manner as if she was trying to bite me. I tried to pull away, but the pain of her hand tangled in my hair was agonying. I pulled my hair back as hard as I could . The women pulled out hands full of my red hair at the same time. I finally got free, turned and grab the little girl and started running. MOTHER!! The girl yelled. I tried to run faster, but she could only go so fast. So with one graceful motion I lifted the girl up and start running faster. The girl mother was running fast and crazy like a wild animal. I was the fastest girl in my school and could out run any person and crazy animal thing, but with the extra weight of a another person was straining, and was make me tired. With the the last bit of enegry I ran as fast as I could using my long legs as a advantage. I left the thing behind giveing me and her a chance to hide, and squeeze  under a car, and I covered her mouth. The lady draged herself around the car a couple times. The tiny one started to cry and I tried to cover her mouth even more. Then the lady starts the limp away. 

 When the coast was clear we climbed from under the car. 

That was close. I said to myself under my breath. Thank you. She said. 

My name is Sammy wha'ts yours? She sayid coming to sit next to me.

 Mine is Angie. Angie. She repeated to herself. There's no time for small talk its getting dark and we need to find a place to stay for the night. After that  I wouldn't dare try to travel at night now even so with Sammy with me. Now where to go? How about over there she says. Pointing to a abandon home. Yeah we can stay there tonight then when day time come we have to keep moving.

 I don't want to stay another day her. I grab her hand and start walking twards the house. How old are you? Sammy said looking at me. I'm 17 years old. How about you? Im 5. She said tighting her grip in my hand and smiled at me all so happily like everything will be alright.

 We finally reach the house and I went towards the door

. Sammy stay here ima make sure its clear in there.

 I kick the door open and go inside. I pulled out my sharpend stick and slowly walk around. With every step the floor creak. I checked every room, bathroom, and closet. It seemed empty. I went got Sammy, and brought her inside. We go up stairs and we both stay in the same room. I lock the bedroom door and push the dresser in front of it. For saftey reasons.

 I'm hungry . Sammy says pulling on my clothes. Okay. I reached into my bag and pulled out the nuts I found earlier. I gave her the whole bag. I don't have much food so we can't each alot all the time things will be diffrent from now own. But by the time I finished talking she was already done what the bag. I gave her a bottle of water, but watched her just to make sure she didn't drink the whole thing.

 Sammy we don''t have alot of food left you can't get all of it like that. I picked her up and set her in the bed behind us. It's time for bed now. Get some rest for tomarrow will be a long day. She nodded her hed and in a few mintues she had fallen alseep. I got up and look at the window I see alot more of those things now and im glad we found this house just in time. I sat on the floor and start sharping my stick alittle more.

 I have to travle more carefuly now with sammy with me i can't be so careless like I have been lately. Makeing sure me and her both have a place to sleep and food and water to have is going to be tuff. But I can't let that mother down now I promised her I would take care of her daughter intil the end. Even if the end is closer then we think. I crawled into the bed with sammy and slowly driffed asleep.
