The Apocalypse (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 1

Bridget 

It all started a few months ago. A disease spread and the people started turning into cannibalistic freaks. When it came to my town, the name not even worth mentioning, my parents were killed and the even more messed up part, all the adults left. My friends and I stayed to defend our homestead. We knew, more like hoped, the zombies would either die off or be cured. But until that happened we would stay and fight. 

Bang! My gun fired and in one shot I killed a zombie. I was leading a group to one of my best friend's hideout, which would be her old house. When we got there it was more rubble than a house. In the apocalypse it's best not to yell, but in times like this it's okay.

 "OLIVIA!" I called out. "Are you here?" She walked out from a pile of junk. She was wearing jeans and over-sized black hoodie.

 "What?" She called back.

 "We need you." I stated simply. She quickly got what I was saying and nodded her assent.

 She joined us and when I tried to hand her a gun, she said "No, I don't need that. I use my bare hands."

"OK." I replied knowing it was just easier to let her do her thing than to argue and continued walking.

We arrived at the "base" and Olivia quickly realized how few recruits we had. "Is this it?" She asked a little disappointed. I nodded and she sighed in frustration. "Okay, are there any skilled fighters here?" She asked me and the group.

"We have Jonny and Leo." I told her. "They're attempting to teach the others how to shoot and you know, survive." Right now our main priority was to survive. Basically our motto was ‘Shoot now. Ask questions later.’

Olivia, Leo, Jonny, and I were discussing our plans when suddenly the door slammed open. Olivia jumped in front of us, Jonny and Leo pulled out their guns, and I unsheathed my knife, all of us expecting an invasion.

"Whoa! Calm yourselves! It's just us!" It turned out to be Isabel and Zavia (pronounced Zay-via).

 Leo yelled out "OH, COME ON! THE TWO GIRLS WHO WOULDV'E DIED IN LIKE THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES SURVIVE!?" We all glared at him and I sent him a warning look and Jonny started staring at Izzy and blushed.

Olivia, being the bitch she is, told them very bluntly, "This is no time for all the lovey-dovey stuff."

They both looked at her and Jonny replied with, "You're right. Isabel go away!"

"Wow, nice to know you care!" She told him sarcastically.

Leo and I laughed and walked away. "So what's our next move?" He asked me. I thought for a little and I was about to reply when our makeshift alarm system (which consisted of people with good eyesight watching from the roof) went off.

"Are you serious? More zombies!" I yelled in disbelief. Leo looked at me sympathetically and we both ran off in opposite directions. Both of us being leaders commanded our groups. We put the place on lock-down and guarded the doors. But when Jonny came running down the stairs saying it's not zombies, we were all confused.

He sees our confused expressions and explained further, "It's a person. Another kid who looks about our age." He said, hurriedly.

Now normally I'm this emotionless person, but my face lit up at the thought of a new charge helping us. Olivia and I go out to greet this mystery person. From where we were standing, it looked like a boy.

 We were close enough to where he was able to see our guns and he shouted, "Don't shoot!"

"Don't worry. We're here to help. I'm Bridget and this is Olivia." I assured him quickly, getting the introductions out of the way.
