Kaylee and Quinn never thought once about the end of the world. Or the dead rising. But little did these twins know that their life was about to change. They won't have electricity or lots of food and drinks. And most of all, loved ones will die and...
As I continued to walk, I felt guilty, I regretted letting my sister going off on her own. Even if we got into a fight.
I don't know where she was, but I had to find her. I turned around and started going back. I know it was dangerous but I needed to check to see if Quinn was alright.
*20 minutes later*
I made it to the crossbow shop and the front door was broken into. I quietly opened the door enough so I could get in.
"Quinn?" I called out. No response. I frantically looked around the store for my sister.... But she wasn't there.
"Dammit" I said to myself. I was heading for the front door but something caught my attention. It was a belt with a tomahawk in it. I picked it up and examined it.
"Score" I strapped it to my waist and grabbed a pocket knife and placed it in my boot. I walked out and saw at least 5 of those dead, walking things. Walkers. That sounds about right.
I ran past them and headed straight into the woods. I ran and ran and ran until me feet gave out and I fell to the ground. I screamed.
I had to find my sister.
I had to.
I heard the crunching of leaves but I was to tired to sit up. The footsteps became louder, they were coming towards me.
A boy with a grey beanie and a blue sweater hovered over me.
"Hey, we should get out of here" he said to me.
"I'm to tired" I said, still out of breath. He bent down and picked me up bridal style.
"What're doing?" I asked.
"There's more of those things coming, I can't just leave you out here" he told me.
"At least buy me dinner first" I joked. He laughed a bit. "So who are you?" I asked.
"Luca" he smiled, "what about you?"

"Kaylee" I replied.
"What were you doing out here on your own?" He questioned. I sighed.
"I freaked on my sister and she left" I told him. He looked down at me.
"I'll help you find her" he said with a warm smile.
"Thanks"

It was dark out and we were hiding in this cave thing that we found. I was playing with the zipper on my sweater when Luca asked "have you had to kill one yet?"
"Yeah, that's kinda how me and my sister split" I explained.
"Didn't understand?" He asked.
"Nope" I said, poping the 'p'.
"My brother didn't understand, how much younger is your sister?"
"10 minutes" I said flatly.
"Wait, 10 minutes? You guys twins?" He asked. I nodded my head.
"She has darker hair and darker eyes, that's the only difference" I said. My stomach growled and I grabbed it. Luca went into his bag and pulled out an apple.
"Oh, thanks" I took it from his hands and took a bite out of it.
"This is gonna sound bad.... But a part of me doesn't want to find her" I said, staring out of the cave.
"Why?" He asked interested.
"It's just, we were close.... But we weren't the same, I lied for years to keep her safe, to keep her happy. I thought they were little white lies, but they're bigger than I thought" I admitted.
"How did you lie to her?" He asked. I sighed.
"I just..... We were homeschooled 'cause we were 'bullied'. I never wanted to be homeschooled. I had friends, she just didn't know, some of my friends were the people who...... Bullied her. I didn't want to be friends with them but we were. They weren't assholes to me. I mean... There was one person, but they weren't affecting me as much as they were affecting her" I explained, turning to him.
"Maybe you should tell her" he suggested.
"I don't know, she'll hate me"
"She's your sister" he said.
"And, she already hates" I said looking down. I felt his arms wrap around me. I looked up to see his face only inches away from mine. I quickly turned away and took another bite of the Apple before I threw it away.
"Night, see ya in the morning" I said before lying down, using my bag as a pillow.

I woke up to the blinding sun. I sat up and looked around. Luca was gone. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the cave. I looked around but saw nothing.
Until a walker grabbed me from behind and I fell. I struggled to keep it off of me. It's teeth were chomping, trying to take a chunk out of me.
"KAYLEE?!" I heard Luca yell.
"KILL IT!" I shouted back. Blood poured out of its mouth and onto my face. I was about to give way when it was killed and it fell on top of me.
I pushed it off and stood up.
"Thanks" I said, "where were you?"
"Hunting" he explained.
"You? Hunting?" I questioned.
"Yeah, why?"
"I don't know, you just don't look like the type to hunt" I said. He shrugged his shoulders and we began to walk again.
