Suddenly we hear the door open and foot steps coming up the stairs.
Mia's POV
My brother shoves us indise his room and quietly shuts the door. He raises his gun to the door and tells us to hide. Nathan and I squeeze into his closet and I listen. The footsteps are now coming from the floor we are on. Wait, I recognize the sound of those shoes... I quietly step out, Nathan trying to pull me back in but I slip out if his grasp. Robin mostions for me to go and hide again but I don't. Instead I walk right up to the door when the steps stop right out side. I grab the cold, metal handle and open the door. "Mom!" I say and she rushes in and gives me a hug. "I'm so glad you are alive!" She squeaked. Nathan comes out of the closet (wink wink nudge nudge 😂) and just stares at me and my mom. My mother looks at me then Robin, raising her eyebrows in a questioning manner. "Oh this is Nathan, a friend from school!" I explain again. "Hello mam..." He said. "Don't call me that dear, call me Ashley." She says, probably glad I have friends. "Ok, Ashley..." He says, getting used to calling an adult by their name. "Are any of the nieghboors alive?" Robin asks. "Sadly, no..." My mother says. Everyone looks down in silence. "We should look for more people." Nathan speaks up. Our heads snap up. "I-i mean, more people are better than a few..." Nathan explains. "Yes, that would be wise, let's pack up. We need food, water,sleeping bags, weapons, lots of things.We have a whole van to fill." Ashley said. Our car is a big camo-colored van. It has tons of space and can seat 5-6 people in seats. Of course people can sit on the floor. I go to Robin's closet and pull out big bags I spotted before and gave everyone a bag. I then go to my room and grab some other bags and give everyone another. I proceed to collect useful items. Sewing kit, all medications, inhailer, hygen stuff, ect. I then take my other bag and pack clothes. I also pack some photos, books, and other personal belongings, as well as some note books to write on or even draw on. I go down stairs grabbing tons of batteries and some flashlights. I see my mother packing weapons and her own bag of personal items. Robin is getting food and Nathan is getting some sleeping items and stuff. I see that he left his personal bag empty. "We should go soon, it is getting dark." I say looking out the window. Robin grabs his bags and takes them to the car, coming back to grab 5 cases of water we had for emergencies. We all grab our last few things and start to head out. As I'm walking out j remember something only dad showed me. I ran and grabbed the sword that was his. Then walking back I grab something no one could ever leave behind.
I grab my father and mother's wedding rings.
