The apocalypse

Chapter 2

Ellie smiles awkwardly at Violet and introduces both of us, while i stare off into space, theorizing what could've happened if Violet was indeed, infected.

"That's Zahara, but you can call her Zae and i'm Ellie."  Ellie says, glancing at me and rolling her eyes.

  Violet smiles in a awkward way and slowly walks towards us, scared we might react negatively towards her.  She realized we weren't gonna stop her, she takes a seat, plopping down to the right of me and sighing in relief.

"It's nice to finally meet someone who's not trying to eat me." She says, stretching her arms and legs out, before relaxing into the seat with a tired stare.

I finally come out of my thoughts and look at her. "It's nice to meet someone who isn't Zae." Ellie says with a chuckle, I glare at her and cross my arms.

"Well, its nice to meet you too Violet, ignore Ellie." 

Violets pretty brown eyes stare at me in amusement, seeing her out of that cabinet allowed me to see all of her, she has short purple hair and a nice slim figure. 

Violet is wearing black skinny jeans that were ripped at the knees, cream colored scarf and her shirt was grey, along with grey boots.

"So.. Violet how did you end up here?" Ellie asks, fidgeting with her thumb.

Violet frowns and looks down,  Ellie notices and quickly adds "You don't have to tell us if it's too hard."

Violet shakes her head. "No it's okay, I wanna tell it."

Ellie and I wait patiently for Violet to tell us.  I sit up in my chair and scoot it up to the table, so i could lean my elbows on it.  Ellie sits further back in her chair and props her leg up on the table.

Violet coughs, "Okay, Well it started off with My best friend Emily going to go get some more coffee, When a strange man came in, he seemed as if he was drunk, he kept stumbling and even banged his head on the wall.  He also looked very injured and was groaning.  The man looked up, his eyes were just... white.."  Violet coughs again, and looks up, keeping her tears from falling.  "Anyways, he had seen Emily and lunged at her, taking a bite out of her neck-" Violet stops and looks down again, finally letting the tears stream down her face.

Ellie quickly sits up and rubs her back trying to comfort her.

"The-Then, She was just.. dead... or that's what I thought.  Every one was flipping out, panic was going throughout the whole cafe.  People were holding the man back, keeping him off of Emily.  He retaliated and bit into someones hand.  Then Emily got back up, everyone was so scared.  They backed away from her.  Some christian lady, i guess, thought it was a miracle and ran up to her.  Which resulted of Emily grabbing the woman.  But I guess you can figure out what happens after that..."

I nod, Ellie looking horrified.  "Damn.. you got it bad,"  Ellie paused and looked at Violet with a stern expression.  "How did you escape that?" Ellie says.

Violet glances at me, and then to Ellie.  "While everyone was distracted by those thing's, fear got the best of me and I ran.  I  just ran away and hid in the cabinet that you saw me in."

Ellie gasps. "You've been in there the whole time? When did this happen?"

"It was around 9 in the morning." Vi says, nonchalantly.

Both me and Ellie gap at her.  Our mouths turning into a 'O' shape.

"Are you serious? Do you need food or water?" I quickly say, eyes growing wide.

"Water, if that's okay." She says quietly, looking away from my worried eyes.

Ellie nods and fishes a water bottle out of her bag. "Here."  Violet gently takes it and took two long gulps and the water was gone.
