lyrics P.O.V.
I had just tucked my little brother and mom in bed for the night. I quietly crawled out of the storm shelter that was behind our old house. the reason we didnt still stay in the house is because the broken have searched all the houses on this block and they will surely come bace. thats not the only reason though, my fathers body is still up their in the kitchen. there is no way my mom would be able to carry a grown man out of a house, and frankly, im only 5'4 so i couldnt either.
i squeeze though the side of the house and the fence into the street. i take a couple minutes to survey everything around me. the sun set about 3 hours ago so im guessing its about 11:00 pm.
I begin to make my way to the grocery store thats about 2 miles away. as im walking down the street something feels different. i am being watched. i pull out a pocket knife although i know that it will have no effect if a broken is watching me. for about 3 minutes i search around the area. im convinced that a broken is not watching me because they are not smart enough to hide. if there was a broken here i would have seen it. i continue down the street but still dont put the knife away.
eventully i reach the store and see something bad. there is a croud of broken at the enterance of the store. probably doing their routine check for any humans. from the looks of it they found one. i am tempted to try and save that person, probably trying to get food and supplies for their family too. i feel bad because i havent been sneaky enough when coming here. it was most likely my sloppy trail that led the broken to search here.
silently i watch a girl around my age being tourmented by the broken. they question her and yell at her but she does not say anything. when they snap her neck i make a small wimpering sound. crap! what looks like some sort of person in charge of that goup of broken turns this way. followed by the rest of the crew they start to walk towards me. all of their eyes are bright shades of purple, blue, and green. all brokens eyes are like that. when they first wake up again as a broken their eyes are mostly the orininal but the longer you are broken the brighter your eyes get. the leaders eyes are a vibrant almost glowing purple and i know he must be around 2 years old.
i dont dare move an inch. their bright eyes are carefully searching everything around here. i stat where i am behind a large tree about 20 yards from where the group of broken is standing. i guess they decided there was nothing here because they retreat back to the body of the girl. one of them slings her over his shoulder and throws her in the trunk of the bus they were driving. soon after they all climb in and speed away.
i wait at least 10 minutes before i move in. prying the sore doors open and entering the dark store. first i grab a big pack of batterys, hoping they work. then i grab an assortment of flashlights and knives. pretty soon im going to need to teach Austin how to defend himself. hes going to be happy about this. I then move to the grocery section of the store and fill my backpack with a bunch of food.
suddenly the feeling that im being watched returns and this time im sure that i really am. i hear something fall to my left and slowly i make my way there. as i go around a corner i find myself looking at a girl crouched down with her hands covering her face
"hello" i say trying to hide the tremble in my voice
the girl doesnt say anything and i assume shes a broken so i pull my knife out again but i guess she saw this.
"no, please im not broken im human, see, look at my eyes!" she franticly says while lifting up her face
its true, her eyes were blue but a calm natural blue. she was human! its been almost a year since i have talked to a human that wasnt my mom or brother.
" are you here alone, or did you come here with the girl who was outside?" i ask
" i came with her... and my brother" she says just as a boy who looked a little older than me appeared from behind a corner.
