Cimorelli's Living <Sequal To Cimorelli's Surviving>

first day

Lauren's Pov.

we got home and i instantly read the packet.  it told me everything i needed to know.  its said when we had to get to the hunter center, when we would leave, when we would get back.  it also said that we were put into groups to scout out the areas.  i dont know what group im in, but hopefully alex, nick and sarah are with me.  

i sat on the couch looking over the packet one last time when alex came down.  "here"  he tossed me a pistol.  i examined it and realised it was my old one.

"but they gave us guns"  i told him.

"i know, but they gave us machine guns.  you dont know how to us one and its too strong."  he held his own.  

then i remembered nick wasnt given on and he definitely would have trouble with the ak-47. "what about nick, he didnt get a gun"  

"he can use dads old one"  alex sat next to me.  

alex seemed so calm about this,  i on the other hand was freaking out, inside.  "what if we arent in the same group?"  i worried.

"dont worry"  he gave me a quick side hug and went off to find nick.  i sighed in frustration and threw the packet down.  

the night goes on calmly.  we eat dinner and go to bed early.  tomarrow we have to start our new job.  you'd think they wouldnt start right away but they need help as soon as possible.  

when morning comes dad had already left.  mom comes in to wake me up and alex and nick were already eating.  i go downstairs and get a bowl of stail cereal.  "mom?  when was they last time we bought new cereal?"  i ask her spitting it out.  

"i just got it yesterday"  mom replies.  oh thats right,  the hunters looted it from someplace near by.  it wont come fresh anymore.

i finish and quickly put on my uniform.  i put my gun in the belt and hurry out with alex and nick.  we walk to the center we were at the other day and head in.  i dont know what to do.  there are people walking around, getting ready.  

"i guess we should go to the lockers"  alex says and he takes nick to his.  i have to find my own, which wasnt hard because i have an end locker.  i open it after the 5th try and get the gun out.  the gun has a strap so i sling it over my shoulder and go look for alex.  instead i find sarah.

"sarah"  i call her name and she turns to me.  

"lauren, what group are you in?"  she asks.  

"i dont know, where does it say?"  i question.  

"down the hall they posted a list, come on"  she pulls me down the hall.  there were 3 papers taped up on the wall.  each name of a hunter was on the paper.  i look for my name and find it.  then i look at the group it has me in.  E2.  i then look at alex and nicks.  E2, good nick is with me.  D3.  no, alex has to stay with us.  

"alex isnt in the same group"  i tell sarah while freaking out.  she looks at the list.

"hes in my group"  sarah tells me.

"what should i do?" i ask her.  

"we cant do anything about it, becareful.  the older people in your group will help you two."  sarah explains.

"EVERYONE TO YOUR TRANSPORTATION"  a vioce boomed over the sound system.  i walked with sarah out behind the center.  she lead me to a car that was labeled E2 and then went off to find hers.  nick was already in the car.  we sat next to each other, holding each others hand.  a women, and three men came in before we headed off.

oops i accidently posted this chapter on one of my other stories.  anyways, thank you for reading!
