2 weeks later

  It's been two weeks since everything happened. I can't believe it the world as we know it might be ending. Everything happened so fast I can hardly remember. When we got to Maine everyone was gone the streets were empty except for a few biters. Except for a couple people we found living in some woods with very few supplies. We've been with them for the past week but it hasn't been easy. Darry Morris is the father of the two sons that were with. The mother just died a couple of days ago. She was getting some water from the river when we heard her scream but it was too late by the time we got there. The two sons are 15 and 12 so it been really hard on them. The poor kids. Darrys an older man he hasn't really said anything or ate in the past two days. It's been torture these past two weeks. Randall sick he has a fever and isn't looking good. We're not sure what's wrong with him.
    We have all gotten a lot of time to get to know each other and Randy and lizzy have gotten very close. Honestly I thought lizzy liked me but know that Randalls sick she had been with him 24/7. The two sons Eric and Noah are pretty quiet they haven't talked much. Eric's the older one. But Noah is much more mature for a 12 year old. "Hey how you doing" lizzy said to me faintly. "Ok what about you?" You don't look so good I said concerned. "I just got a cough". You better not be catching anything from Randall. "I'm not I'm fine". "I'm gonna go check on Randall". No relax sit down you look pale."I'll go check on Randall." When I was walking over to his tent I heard it. It was a herd of biters. I was panicking and called out for darry he came running and we got Noah and Eric. Then lizzy came running. "Whats going on?" She said. All I had to do was point and she saw them. We went Into Randalls tent. "Randy wake up Randy?!" I said panicking. "What" he said faintly. There's a herd. He sprung up and I helped him out of the tent. But it was too late. They were here. "Run!" I said screaming. The only weapon we had was darrys knife and shotgun he handed me the knife. He shot a couple but there was too many are only chance was running.
   Randall had tripped and fallen. "Hurry go with out me!" No! Eric said screaming. Then Noah ran back to help they saved Randy I was too far ahead to see if they were okay. Liz darry and I were far ahead then darry went right and we we couldn't see the herd anymore. We took a moment to catch are breath till we noticed Randy,Noah and Eric were gone.
