Alene didn’t trust anyone, its not that she disliked everyone its just the fact that she was trying to survive. She really liked Audrey she seemed like a nice person, but she couldn’t be friend’s with her because she didn’t want her emotions for people to kill herself. Most people die because of it, they try saving the other person and end up killing them selves too. She wasn’t being selfish it was just survival. She looked up at Saffron who was on the phone to her sister, their group was going to join them soon Which was good. They needed more people around to help grow food and defend their new home. She lifted up her knife and began sharpening her spears “why is it that every time I see you you’re alone?” Andrew said sitting down next to her “I can’t make friends with anyone because it will ruin me” She mumbled whilst still focusing on her sharpening her spear “So we’re not friends?” She didn’t think they were, she hoped they weren’t “well not really, we are more like acquaintances” She said with a smirk “oi! Andrew can you come and help me pull some weeds out?!” Adrian shouted to him, Andrew looked at her as if asking if he could leave “yeah, sure go ahead” She said not really caring “God your good, I didn’t even have to say anything” He smiled and walked off.

She stood at the gates waiting for Jessica’s crew to turn up, she had been waiting for nearly an hour. “where are they?” Saffron said biting her lip “they’ll come, don’t you worry” Alene said. And soon enough they did, there was an older girl probably around her early twenties walking ahead of everyone with her long black hair flowing behind her, and three younger girls at the back. As they entered everyone went crazy, making sure they were okay and that they had enough to drink. “are they always like that?” Said a girl with thick brown hair blowing softly in the breeze “most of the time” Alene said smirking, The girls eyes widened and she looked back at everyone “I think I might stick with you for the time being” She said also starting to smirk “I’m Sasha” Sasha said reaching her hand forward “Alene” She said without any emotion, she slowly reached forward to shake Sasha’s hand but then pulled away. Sasha looked into her eyes “I understand, im the same really” Sasha said then walked back to join her group.

Lizzy stood at the back behind Jessica trying not to get any attention, she brushed back her blonde hair. She hated it when it was out it felt uncomfortable and since they were low on supplies hair ties were used for other useful things, Maybe they have some here that she could use. She saw Claire’s blonde curly hair in the crowd of people and smirked at the sight of it nearly being an afro because she hadn’t brushed it all week. Suddenly she noticed a girl with short blonde hair looking at her, she quickly looked away but it was to late. The girl walked up grinning, she looked like and idiot. “Hiya im Tilly, What’s your name? How old are you? Im 15“ She got all that out in less than two secound, Lizzy really wanted to leave but she thought it would be rude even if the person she was talking to was really weird “Im Lizzy, and im fourteen like everyone else in my group except Jessica” She said trying to get Claire’s attention by clicking her fingers but it didn’t work because she was to busy talking to a girl with blonde hair and freckles by the name of Brook, everyone knew her “wow im only one year older than you! We are going to be good friends” She said bobbing up and down with a smile on her face. Lizzy looked across and noticed Claire was shouting at a girl who had blonde hair and bright blue eyes “Leave my people out of this!” Claire snarled at her, Lizzy thought this was a great opportunity to get away from Tilly. She walked over and stood next to Claire death staring the girl down “Look what the cat just dragged in” The girl said nastily “Saffron! Don’t you dare start any fights!” Jessica yelled at her “just because you’re my older sister doesn’t mean you can tell me what to do! Besides she started it” Saffron said pointing at Claire accusingly. Claire jumped forward attempting to bite Saffron’s finger “What the hell you freak!” Saffron screeched, Jessica jumped in between them “would you just stop!” She yelled as loud as she could, and surprisingly everyone did. Lizzy had always admired her power, she looked around the room and noticed everyone was staring at them “alright we are going to go find somewhere to sleep in here. And we don’t need any food or anything, thankyou though for being so welcoming” Jessica said loudly “A little to welcoming…” Sasha mumbled from behind Lizzy. She followed as everyone in her group walked deeper into the zoo. 

                                                               *

 Adrian was amazed at what had just happened, he didn’t understand girls one minute they were friends and the next they were enemy’s. He watched as Tilly ran after that girl Lizzy, Sasha looked at him with desperation. She mouthed the word please to him and he worked out what she wanted so badly “Tilly I need your help picking out weeds” He called after her, she immediately turned around and ran to the gardens. Sasha smiled at him then walked off behind Lizzy. He wondered where they were going to make camp, he hoped they would come back for breakfast. Not because he wanted to talk to them but because he wanted to see Sasha again, he wanted to meet her. She reminded him of Alene who he loved but knew he couldn’t get, maybe Sasha would be different.

He walked around the zoo in search of Jessica’s group. Finally he came across lights that were lighting up the monkey enclosure, but he couldn’t see anyone or any camps. He walked under a big tree expecting to see the tents but there was nothing. He was just about to turn around and look somewhere else when Sasha’s head popped out of the tree, he jumped back in fright “need something?” She said grinning, then popped out Claire, Lizzy and Jessica’s head “umm why are you guys in a tree?” He asked looking at the heads poking out of the tree “You didn’t see us did you?” Claire said grinning almost evilly, Claire scared him she would probably be the type who would eat your toes in the middle of the night. “well no but-“ He tried to get out “Exactly, which Is why we have survived and why no one in our group has died yet!” Sasha said with her eyes gleaming in the light, she was very pretty “yeah I guess that’s reasonably smart” He said smirking at the idea of sleeping in a tree, He watched as Lizzy skilfully jumped out of the tree and did a roll before landing. He couldn’t believe what these girls could do, it looked like they were from a spy movie. “so, you wanted something?” Lizzy said walking up to him “nah I was checking where you guys were” Said Adrian, he watched as Lizzy’s shoulder started twitching. Then something horrible happened! Blood began pouring out of her mouth like the Mutes. He checked his pockets for a knife or a weapon but there was nothing, where was his knife? Then he saw it! Claire was waving it around in the air teasingly, He watched as Lizzy advanced on him. He was just about to turn around and run when he saw a slight smirk on her face. The Sasha burst out laughing “alright Lizzy I think that’s enough!” Jessica said shaking her head, Lizzy spat out a small white capsule and began laughing “what the…” He said confused, He looked down at the capsule and saw ‘fake horror blood’ written on it. He looked up and watched as they all laughed at him “You should have seen your face!” Claire said still laughing “but the thing is, You guys believed my whole act!” He said laughing, it wasn’t actually an act he was just pretending and he hope they wouldn’t figure that out “How did you know?” Lizzy said looking taken aback “I could hear you all whispering about it!” He said smirking “I told you! I knew you guys were too loud” Jessica said rolling her eyes “So I just put that disgusting thing in my mouth for nothing!” Lizzy yelled angrily “yep” He said nodding, Thank god they believed him! He didn’t want to look like an idiot in front of Sasha.

                                                          *

 Claire sat at next to Jessica waiting to be served some eggs, a girl that she met called Gemma walked out with a cat in her arms. She looked at it closely and then noticed that it was her cat Cookie! “Cookie!” She yelled excitedly, the cats ears pricked at the sound of her voice and it jumped out of Gemma’s arms and came bounding over to her. She hugged Cookie to her chest, she had missed her so much she thought she had lost her forever “huh? your cookies owner?” Gemma said confused “yeah! I had to leave her behind because my mum wouldn’t let me take her, but now she’s back!” Claire shouted with glee “Prove it” Gemma said narrowing her eyes “the number on her collar is 0413666789 and she can pull tissues out of a tissue box” Claire said proudly “really?” Gemma said with her eyes widening. Claire got up and started looking through the supplies, she finally found a small tissue box and placed Cookie on the ground with the tissues in front of her face. They watched as Cookie pulled the tissues out one by one, eventually everyone came over to look at the cat pulling out the tissues. Cookie kept going until the whole box was empty, then she climbed up onto it and sat down with her back legs falling in the crack. “okay she’s your cat” Gemma said amazed, Claire picked up her talented cat and walked right up in front of Saffron to try and tease her. But Saffron just glared at her not wanting to start a fight because she didn’t want to get into trouble from Jessica.
