Chapter 1- The Beginning

(This story is mainly in Mini's POV)

Craig's/Mini's POV

Finally it's over! I had to go through all of that just for getting a speeding ticket! This is such shit! This day couldn't get any worse! My cell phone ringing interrupted my thoughts... Shit! It's my dumb ass boss! I answered. "Hello?" Julian asked. "Hello sir, what do you need?" I questioned as I leaned back in my computer chair. "I heard about your speeding ticket... We can't have anyone with a bad profile in our cubical. You're fired..." Julian stated.  My face felt like lava. Anger boiled inside of me. It took all of my strength to not cuss him out and hang up. "How is getting one speeding ticket so important that you have to fire me for it?!" I yelled, hoping I wasn't too loud. "It's more important than you'd think..." Julian replied calmly. After that comment I snapped. "Well fuck you then!!!!" I screamed into the phone and hung up. I took in a deep breath and sighed. I guess that's how it can get worse. Now I'm jobless... Great... I sighed again and slid down in my chair.  I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke up to a loud bang followed by screams of pain and terror. I jumped from my seat and looked out the window of my apartment. It's chaos... People are running across the street screaming. Dead bodies, empty vehicles, and scrap metal littered the streets. My eyes widened as I darted out of my apartment building to get a better look at the situation. Once I was out I regretted my decision. The once busy roads were drenched in blood. The screams of the people around me rang through my ears followed by the emergency sirens that are only used for terrorist attacks. My heart skipped a beat. I could feel my whole body go pale. Am I going to die?! I heard a loud noise. "Attention everyone! Please remain calm! We need you all to enter the subway systems in an orderly fashion..." The man over an intercom ordered soothingly. Everyone began running towards the  nearest subway system. I was about to sprint as well until I heard a muffled cry. A little girl was curled up in a ball on the ground crying. I ran to her and held out my hand. "Are you okay?" I asked politely. She sniffed and shook her head. She only looks around five-ish. "I can't find my daddy. He went to go look for mommy and never came back." She stated with another sniff and a pout. Damn... Poor kid... "Here, come with me. I'll help you find them..." I offered with a smile. Her head shot up. "Really?!" She shouted. I nodded with a welcoming grin. She jumped up to me and hugged me. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" She yelled excitedly. Another bang sounded behind us as she took my hand and we ran towards the subway. We got in and were greeted by two unfriendly looking security guards. Without a word they took us to our seats. The little girl groaned in pain. "My head hurts..." She whined. I sighed and sat her on my lap. "I wish I could help." I sighed. We started talking but were stopped by a yell. "Where's my baby?!?! Is she in here?! Cheyenne?!" An unfamiliar voice shouted. "Mommy?!" The girl yelled back. "Cheyenne!!!" A woman shouted as she lifted the girl from my lap. She smack me upside my head. "Hey?! What was that for?!" I asked. "Did he hurt you?! Are you okay?!" The woman who I'm guessing is the girls mother questioned. "I'm fine! He helped me when everyone was running away." The girl said. The mother's eyes widened when she realized she hit me. "I am so sorry! Thank you so much for helping my baby girl!"  She apologized. I shook my head. "No problem!" I said with a smile. The mother took her hand and walked off. I could faintly hear their conversation."Hey mommy..." Cheyenne stated. "Yes honey?" She asked. "Where's daddy?" Cheyenne replied. My face went cold at what I heard after that. "Um... He... We won't be able to see him for a very long time..." Her mother said as a tear rolled down her face. I felt tears stream down my own face. Oh my god... Did her dad... Die? The though of it made me want to through up. Poor kid... I sighed and looked down. It's all lonely now that she's gone. I heard another bang, but this wasn't the same bangs as before. These were gun shots... I turned to see something like a firing squad. They're killing everyone in the subways?! I have to make my escape before they get to me!!!
