Alex's pov!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Please mind any gramatical mistakes I am on my Moms tablet and writing like its a keyboard, p.s. sorry I didn't post yesterday)
My feet are burnining and sweat pours down my back. We have been walking for nearly five days and Rumi is the only one aloud in the rolling basket of happiness. Two days ago she woke up screaming of some terrible dream. Being as I hadnt slept in fifty hours I was barely lucid when she was telling me about it.
Sean pushes the basket over a large bump and then as if out of no where, the trees part and we are on the thick grassy part beside a high way. Something stirs in my mind and i am reminded of when I was younger.
In a ragged living room full of meaningless furniture. She lays her soft hands on my shoulders and looks at me with worry in her eyes. She looks around nervous of what was to come for me.
"Alexis? Look at me darling, there are people out there who'd love to take you away from
here from me." She pauses
"Mom I don't want to leave! I will never leave you I promise." I say, tears forming in my young lids.
"Don't make promises you can't keep,baby." She says her eyes swelling with tears
"What? I can keep it! I know it. I won't run away mommy." I say surely crying now "Why would I?"
"There are some bad men out there, Alexis." Just as she mutters the words the door busts open and a man with dark hair that looks red and a rough shave comes in
"Oh Varibelle, I told you not to scare our Alexis more than she already is." He says with a mocking tone and a scoul
"Oh please, E stop." My mother says standing up and putting herself in betweeen the man and I
"Daddy!" the young me cries happily trying to get around my Mother and to my Father
"Alexis stay there." Mother says just as my dad says "Come to me, darling."
"Stay away from her. You've tortured her too much. She is just a young girl." Mother cries shielding me with her protective arm
"Then I will torture you!" He says swinging at her, she evades quickly and takes the oppurtunity to shove me outside
"Go Alexis baby! Go hide! Mommy will come to get you in a moment's time. Just stay away from the highway!" She says with a smile as she slides the glass door closed and locks it. When she is done a massive hand comes over head and she crumples to the ground
"Mom!" The young me cries as I run to the back shed
"Alex!" Sean barks, bringing me back to reality
"What?" I snap back then wince at the harshness of my words but I don't take them back
"Which way do we go? On the highway." He asks with an intense look in his eye
"We don't go on the highway. That's the way we go." I say
"What? Are you insane?" Sean asks appalled
"No," I say coldly
"Well then you must be stupid. Maybe you're mentally retarded because if you don't remember correctly, that's the way we have to go!" He yells
"I'm not stupid. I'm much smarter than you because my parents taught me literature and fighting skills." I shout back
"At least my parents loved me." he says causing me to wince
"Love? LOVE? Your parents didn't love you they pitied your poor little soul because you couldn't amount to anything. Not in this harsh world." I snap back it him like spitting fire.
"Oh sure, says the girl who dazed off into her mind and flips out over everything. Guess what everyone! She's also scared of highways. Highways, Alex. It's a road, maybe if your parents taught you so much you'd know its a slab of asphalt that goes on for a while." He says as if he is just trying to shoot me
"Gosh, your so stupid sometimes. So stupid!" I yell at him
"Tell my why. TELL ME!" He demands making me break
"Don't go on the highway. The bad men are on the highway. The bad men will take you Alexis. Stay off the highway. Don't go near the highway. The roads are for predators. The highway is a bad place for little girls Alex. Pay attention Alex, the bad men are on the highways. THE BAD MEN ARE ON THE HIGHWAYS THEY WILL TAKE YOU, THEY ARE TRAINED TO KILL. They want blood on their hands and your meat in their mouths." I ramble on turning around and smacking a tree with my fist
"Jesus, Alex you are more messed up-" He gets interrupted by none other than Rumi
"Stop arguing you two." She mumbles but I pay no mind
"Shut up you freaking idgit!" I scream
"SHUT THE HECK UP! I told you to stop arguing so by the name of the lord almighty stop freaking yelling you two are acting as children!" Rumi screams pausing for a breath "Alex, get over the phobia of highways for a second. I am getting to the resistance and lord in heaven your gonna be there too. Sean, as for you, I expect some respect for my friend here."
"No one can make me gain respect for those who have lost all means of my miniscule thought of respect." Sean says in response
"Excuse me, but I just told you to, so you will." She says turning around in the cart. "On ward to the highway."
I get in front of Sean, leaving Camen to walk alone in the back. Sean protests but in response I say "If I'm going to my death, I'll be in the front."
I step up onto the graying rock and begin to walk in the direction supposed as west. We keep walking and pass bones, tents, and plenty of stalled cars. Out of no where I hear a loud scream to draw attention. I turn around quickly, in order to bark orders to the group.
''Rumi, get in the car." I say pointing to the silver hatchback beside me. She jumps out of the cart and runs to the car, rattling the door.
"Alex, it won't open!" she cries.
"Try them all!" I scream pulling out my knife ''Sean and Camen come help me fight for your lives.''
Just as I yell at them and turn around just to see at least fifteen men. Each one has a weapon and is swinging wildly, to my disadvantage. Though to my advantage, none of them have legit fighting training so they are clumsy. I dash into them and cut off legs, heads, and arms just to get them down. As I run past one of them he slices into the flesh of my skin. I kill most of them and leave the rest for Sean and Camen. Good thing killing is easy for me due to the harsh society I've grown up in.
I sag with relief that the hardest part is over. Now I need to find Rumi. The boys are still fighting a few of the crazies but I want to find Rumi. I go out and run past the cara, searching for a cowering Rumi. I pass a dark, rusting car whose hood has been torn off. On the other side opposite to me is an open door with a broken window.
''No, no, no,no.''I say putting my hands through my hair. I look up to see one of the wild Americans carrying Rumi away.
''Alex!" she screams with terror
"i'll always find you Rumi! I will find you!" I scream
