We have been walking for quite some time and just sleeping in the woods. We walk into an abandoned store, and we see a pharmacy. We walk in and we see 3 people standing there. " Hello, who is there?" Brooks asked. I grabbed my knife swiftly as I waited for them to answer. " I'm Jonah, and this is Sierra and Claudia." "And may I ask who are you?" " I'm Brooks and this is my little sister, Jessica" We stand in silence waiting for someone or something to make a move. " So.. Are y'all from here, Va?" " Ya, what's it to ya?" The girl Sierra asked. I gave her this look of disbelief. I'm still new this world and they already seem..Different. "We were just heading back, to uh- to um-" I stutter. " From our complex.." He looks at me and nods. " A community" he said. I know this isn't true but what is he doing? While I try to observe them. I look in the hand of this blonde girl, Claudia. "Hey, what's that in your hand?" She pulls back and tries to hide the pills, which I know she has. "Give them back. Now." Jonah pulls out his weapon of choice saying," We all need to survive, we're not bad people, were just like you. Okay. Just- just come with us.. To OUR community.. A real community." I look, he still has his knife out, I think these people stole from us, why would we come back with them. I decided to say yes. "Okay, yes-" Brooks stopped me and said,"Sorry, but no." He walked out and says," We will get them back.. Maybe not you.. But me.
