Chapter 4.

"Hey" a heard a man's voice say. "get up"

I sat up and rubbed my eyes "what?" I choked. My throat was sore and my vision was kinda blurry.

"This isn't a hotel, you can't just sleep all day. You have to do work" he said.

When my eyes started to focus, I could see his faded blue hair. I huffed and turned away from him.

"Whatever. I'll go talk to Matt" I said, making my way to the exit.

"Wait" he called after me.

"What?" I said spinning on my heel to face him. I noticed he had a bruise on his face.

He walked up beside me and put his hand on my shoulder. "I think we got off on the wrong foot..." He said, stating the obvious.

"No shit." I said, swatting his hand away immediately.

"Well my name is Josh" he said and reached his arm out, waiting for me to shake his hand.

"Whitney" I said ignoring his extended arm and continued for the exit.

"You know, if you don't trust people you'll end up dead sooner!" He said.

I turned to face him again. "Well, at least you'll have that black eye to remember me by." I said, then left.

"Matt!" I shouted across the yard to where he was standing by his car. I glanced over to the children playing, and noticed Lori had already made new friends.

"Whats up, Whitty?" He said jokingly.

I just glanced at him. "Don't call me that. My dad used to call me that. Now I don't know where he is." I said looking toward Lori, who loved our dad so much.

"Oh. Sorry." He said. "So, I guess I'll get you acquainted with everyone then" he just brushed off what I had said.

"Yeah. Your group seems pretty small" I said.

"It was bigger before we split up to go find supplies. Me and Brett took one car, and the others took the only another running car we had. The only problem is that they aren't back yet." He said.

"How many of them was there? Are you sure they're alive?" I asked.

"There was five, and I'm not sure." He said.

We walked up to a comfortable, outdoor living area where I saw two men, three women, and a couple children.

"Whitney, this is Nicole, Megan, and Kim." He said pointing to the women. Then he turned to the men and said "this is Mike and Ian".

We all said hello, and shook hands and did all the other stuff you do with a newcomer.

Mike came over and patted me on the back. "You are going to like it here" he said "the ladies love talking about girl stuff, and playing with the kids"

"Eh." I shrugged. "That's not really my thing."

"Oh" he said.

"Ian, Mike, Josh. We need to chat" Matt said. They all came to Matt and formed a group huddle. I got as close as I could so I could listen in. "Without the five guys here, our group is very weak, and we won't be able to protect camp if anything happens. I have a mission for us, and that is to go out and find the rest of our group."

"Yeah. and leave the women and children here by themselves... That is so brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?" Ian said sarcastically.

"Look, we don't have much of a choice here!" Matt yelled "its either get them, or die!"
