"THE PLAGUE "

Lost and Found

I can see her. I can see Natalie. She's sitting on the porch, crying, at our house. I try to call out to her, but I'm unable to say a word. Is this a dream? Natalie starts to cry louder attracting the attention of creepers. I move closer to her without actually walking. I try calling her name and telling her to go inside. She still doesn't respond.

She looks up and stares out into the distance as the monsters grow closer.

"Where are you," she says with her voice cracking.

"I'm write here," I tell her.

"I need you, where are you," she says again crying even harder. The dead are now surrounding her, but she still doesn't move. They snarl and growl as they try to grab her.

I reach out and try to help her,but I can't. She finally takes notice to them.

"HELP!" She yells in the middle of the crowd. It's to late now.

She gives out on last blood curtailing scream and then...

"Natalie!" I yell opening my eyes. I look around with my heart beating quickly, breathing heavily, and in a cold sweat.

Atlas jumps as I scream. She looks at me in shock.

"What's wrong?" Atlas says panicky. I look around at the calm woods and realize it was only a dream. Well, nightmare.

"Nothing, nothing..." I reply calming down.

"Bad dream?" She says.

"Yeah..." I answer leaning back.

"What happened?" She asks.

"It was just a dream..." I answer not wanting to talk about it.

"Ok..." She says sleepily ,then goes back to sleep.

"Night," I reply.

The fire is completely gone now. I think about starting it back up when I here a rustle in the leaves. A creeper face slowly starts to come into view. I attempt to stand up, but the pain returns to my leg. No no no no no....

In use My good leg to kick Russ.

"Ow!" He says sitting up and rubbing his head. I point to the creeper and his angered expression changes. Before he can stand up ,more start to come out from all around us.

"Atlas!" We yell in unison.

"What..." he says sitting up and glaring at us.

She then notices the creepers and jumps off the ground.

"Lets go!" Russ says.

On of them then grabs Russ and another jumps out at Atlas. Russ swings his hammer and Atlas stabs them. I find the strength to stand despite the pain.

"Lets get out of hear!" I yell.

"Write behind you!" Russ replies. We all run. The pain starts to become unbearable and I fall to the ground.

"Jusin!" Atlas screams running back. Russ fallows and they both pick me up.

We are now back to running in our little group. Another one of the creeper jumps out in front of us. I'm so sick of this. I pull out the gun and shoot it in the head without any remorse.

"Lets keep moving," I say putting the gun back into my pocket.

We continue to run until we're finally away from the horde of them.

We are alert and walk hesitantly around every bush we pass. It's pitch black and hard to see.

"We have got to get your leg fixed, Justin, " Atlas says after a while.
