chapter 9 backwards

Flashback

Ethan's Pov
"So then what's next?" I asked.

"We go in, check for anything then stay here." said Brysen. We were standing outside of the building that we planned to stay at for the night.

"So the girls are staying in the truck?" asked Dante.

"Yeah," Brysen said. "Okay let's go." I opened the door and pushed it slightly and slowly. The moving of our feet was making all the noise. I held out my hand gun and pointed towards the straight way. As we all got through the door, the sound of the door closing spooked my interest. "Uh guys..... Did you hear the door close?" I asked.

"Yeah, but nobody closed.... It.... " the dark building was silent, no lights, no anything and then BAM! Brysen falls to the ground. I look around and nothing is in my eyesight. Then I hear Dante groan and landed on the ground. I have a small feeling in my stomach that I was about to get attacked so I swing my left arm around and caught air. Soon I met the floor as well.

"Who are you!?" asked a female voice in the shadows of the room. Neither of us answered her, or whatever it was. "Answer me!" I hear a click sound and the bright lights lit the room. It looked like a abandoned house that had visitors but then the visitors had trashed everything. "Why are you here!?" the woman was all dressed in black with a assault rifle over her shoulder, her mouth covered by a cloth and black gloves, only revealing her pale white skin.

"We are survivors, and we came here to stay." said Dante. Then Morgan came from behind the Woman and ran a fist across her face. The woman in black had recovered and knocked Morgan to the ground. Kylan had tackled her and held the woman down.

"Who are you!?" yelled Morgan. Then Morgan got pinned down by the girl in black and had a knife to her neck.

"I asked first."

"Back off of my woman, or your brains will be splattered. Kylan said pointing a gun at the woman in blacks head. After that happened we all settled down and got to talking.

"We are here because we need a place to stay." said Brysen.

"Why here?" asked the woman.

"Because it's secure and safe." he said.

"Well that's the reason I'm here."

"What's your name?" Brysen asked.

"Whoop ass." the woman says.

"Ha, charming."

"So can we stay here or what?" I blurt out. She looks at me in thought.

"Hmm, depends. What kind of goods you got?" she asked.

"Nothing for you." Said Kylan. Morgan places a hand on Morgan's shoulder and she calms down.

"Hmmm, let's make a deal." the woman states. "I join your group, you can stay here as long as you want."

"The hell do you wanna be in our group for?" asked Dante.

"Because, y'all seem like your strong, capable of taking care of yourselves. Plus I need food." she says. Brysen goes into deep thought.

"You're not really considering letting her join us? Are you?" asked Dante. "I mean strength in numbers and she's strong. Okay answer this..... If we were all trapped by those infected and the only person that could help us was you..... What would you do?"

Her eyes widened and she begins to speak and crack a smile. "I'd leave you to die." we all look at her and notice that she's smiling. "Hi brysen."

"Hey, Madison." He said smiling. She pulls down her mask and releases her hair from her bun. She's a pretty bernett, with pale white skin, and dark brown eyes.

"I know her, and she can be trusted." he says.

"How do you know for sure?" I asked.

"Because if she was anyone else, we all would've been dead by now." he continues."so it's settled..... We're all a team. We stick together." said Brysen

Current time....

Paul's Pov
I picked up my revolver and walk outside of the building. I notice that Miles and Ethan have guns and are about to go a different direction. "Where are you guys going?" I ask.

"Hunting like you two," says Ethan.

"Relax, I can handle myself." says Miles. I honestly don't believe him. His words sound as cocky and hopeless as the rest of life on earth was.

"Okay, please protect him, Ethan."

"Whatever I can." he responds. I wanted to keep my promise to Derek. The one person I loved that was gone.

I nodded my head and followed Brysen. He turned around and held his hands up, stopping me. "Okay here's the deal, you can't shoot no animals or anything with a revolver if you wanna save bullets."

"Then what other guns?" I ask. He chuckles and gives me a half smirk.

"Follow me, my very well friend." he brought me to a room full of machine guns and grenades and all sorts of stuff. "Does this answer your question?"

"I guess so."

"Grab one and we can go." he said. I look around the room for a good gun for me and then Brysen started talking again. "So..... Derek..... Where is he?"

"Uh, I don't remember where he said he was gonna go." I say. I don't want to tell him. I don't want to relive that past.

"Why not? I thought he was your best friend? Not saying I'm not either but still." he said to me.

"Yeah. ....but......" a sigh escaped from my lungs. I had to break it to him..... Tell him the truth. "Listen.... He's.... He's de-"

"I already know." he cuts me off.

"What? How?"

"Because I know you wouldn't lie or leave him behind anywhere." said Brysen. My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach. "I assume, he sacrificed himself to save you and that kid?"

"Yes," I say to him. "And I assume you know..... He loved you."

"Yes, I know... " he went silent.

"You're not gonna cry on me are you?" I ask in a sense of teasing.

"No, no room room for crying. Pick your gun and let's go." he said. I looked around and I picked one. He laid out bullets and a gun strap to hold my gun. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

Hey guys, sorry this was short but I was lazy with this one, so yeah next chapter will be better and longer. Just to give a clue on what's next.....

Miles and Ethan are hunting and what they find is more or less terrifying than anything else. It's basically gonna be about them most of the time but switching between a flash back and current time. But it's gonna be different
