Running out of time

Chapter 2: Sister

Mia's POV
Owen and I approach the voice, a camp comes into view; tents, fire, an RV, and people. Owen coughs letting them know we are there, a man with black hair looks up and points his gun at us. we hold our hands up in defense, "who are you?" the man questions "Hello I'm Owen and this is my wife Mia" Owen said hands still up. "what do you want?" the man said "We were hoping to join your group." I said. The man lowers his gun "Im Shane" he states holding his hand out to Owen. After we shake hands he notices my baby bump, he sort of just stares at it for awhile "oh and this is our unborn little girl." I said holding my stomach. "Oh" is all he managed to say. An older man walked towards us "The names Dale." he said shaking our hands. "Come meet everybody." he said gesturing toward their camp. First we were introduced to Lori and her son Carl, Then Amy she seemed nice but a little annoying, Then there was a sweet woman Carol, Her daughter Sophia and her asshole husband Ed. I can't even remember Iike anyone else's names, but oh well. "How come you guys don't have that much supplies?" Dale asked. " Oh we were staying at a house about a mile or two away we have tents and blankets and some other stuff." I explained "We could walk back and get it before dark."
Owen suggested. "Nonsense, Shane will drive you down there, you're pregnant you don't need to be walking all over the place." Dale said "Thank you Dale that's very nice of you." I said "I'm not just gonna leave the group alone what if you get attacked when I'm gone?" Shane says. "I'll watch over things here at camp, you go on ahead." Dale says. "Fine." Shane grumbles and starts the car. Owen gets in the front seat and I get in the back. Owen is giving Shane directions for what seems like forever but we finally arrive at the house we get out and go into the house and start packing up on stuff Shane helps kind of. After we have everything packed into duffel bags we begin to load up the car she a walker comes and grabs my arm I scream and Owen kills it with his machete in a second. "Where'd you learn to fight like that?" Shane asks "Army" Owen says simply and loads the last bag in the car and gets in the front seat.

*************
When we return back to camp it is nearly dark and there is a moving truck next to the other cars, we all wonder where it came from when we park and once we get out it seems like we are in the middle of a reunion everyone is hugging and happy and we see Lori and Carl hugging a man in a sheriffs uniform, "I'm sorry, Owen Mia this is my husband..." Lori started "Rick!" I exclaimed hugging him. I pulled away "Have you seen Chris or Chad? Are they alive?" I bombarded him with questions. " I have no idea remember I was in a coma." he stated "Oh" I said and everyone was confused. "um...Chris and Chad are Mia's older brothers, they worked with Rick at the local police station in King County." Owen said. "Mia" Rick said when I started to walk away, I turned around and looked at him. "I found someone at the hospital when I woke up." Rick said "huh" I said confused, just then a woman with long dark brown hair stepped out of the moving truck. "Hey Rick I thought about it and I think I'm going to keep looking for my sisters and brothers." she said looking at the ground. "Ruby?" I said teary eyed, the woman looked up and ran up and embraced me in a hug, "I'm so glad I found you!" Ruby said "Me too" I said.
