lost in the dark

chapter 2: on the road

After the dead started to follow me i walked faster util i came across a few dead people, just dead not infected.
I searched them for suplice , just a screwdriver.
The guy had a little box with sigarettes, i couldn't resist.
It has been 7 months sinds i smoked.
But yeah if cancer does not kill you infected will, i was so sad that i laught.
I was so tired, i dropped on  the ground.
When i opend my eyes i saw a room, it was pink.
Pink like a 6year olds room.
A little girl came in with bottled water and fresh bread.
I was happy they did'nt leave me on the road.
The girl asked my name.
I'm haily, i said.
Whats your name?,i asked.
Jullie, she said.
Hi jullie, i said
The little girl just laughed like any child does.
I'll go get my mommy and daddy.
Okey.
I looked for my backpack.
My guns and weapons were gone, i would do the same if i had a sweet little girl too.
My sigaretts were still there so i grabbed one.
Miss?, a guy said.
Yeah?, thank you for saving me, i said.
No problem, he said.
So what is your name?, he asked.
I'm Haily.
I'm Scott and my wife's name is Denny
You can get cleaned up and stay with us if you want, or you can get back on the road.
Thank you, how could i ever repay you?, i asked.
By staying alive, he smiled.
Denny came walking in.
Hey you, i cleaned your wounds that you had from passing out on the concrete.
I'm a nurse wel... i was one.
Thank you so much, i'm haily.
We have some clothes and in an hour the food will be ready, i'll take you to the bathroom, he said.
You can clean yourself right?, he joked. I laughed too.
He was in his twenties, 26 or so.
His eyes were green like emralds.
So were jullie's. Denny's eyes were a darker shade of blue.
He brought me the clothes and said that i need to call him if i needed anything.
I opened the tab and let the warm water rush into the tub.
I sat down and looked at my wounds.
My left arm was covered in little cuts from passing out. So the soapy war water stinged a little.
My blue hair was clean so no need to wash that.
I get out the tub and look at myself in the mirror. I think about hannah,
About what she became.
The red spot on my cheeck where the crazy guy hit me was gone.
I shake the tought of me.
And puton the clothes Scott brought.
A light grey t-shirt, black fitting jeans, a army patterned jacked and black boots.
I walked to the kitchen.
You look better, Denny said.
Thanks.
Can i help?, i asked.
I just feel so useless.
Just relax, she said, maybe you can help Jullie?
I walk to the pink room where my backpack is.
Hey jullie, i say.
Why do you have blue hair?, she asks.
Because i wanted to do something else, i say smiling.
I want blue hair too.
Ask your parents,i said laughing.
She giggled.
Dinner's ready!, Scott yelled.
When i sat down i got called.
I'm so sorry but i got to take this, i said.
It's my brother.
Omg are you ok?!, i started crying.
And Jullie came running to her room.
She hugged me tight.
You are my best friend, she said.
And i started thinking about hannah.
Are we?, she asked.
Yes we are, i said while crying.
Where are you? I asked him.
We are on an island called catalina.
Its of off the coast of L.A.
Yeah i know, i said.
Are you still in your appartement?
No i'm in Boston now. I fainted on the streets and a family that still lived here saved me. I'm staying with them for a while.
How'r mom and dad?, i asked still sobbing with little Jullie holding my hand. They are fine, i got to go i'll call you back. Try to get to the coast of L.A and then we'll send a resque squad to get you.
I love you sis, he said.
Love you too, tell mom and dad that i'm safe.
Will do.
I walked back to the table with Jullie holding my hand.
Good news?, Denny asked.
Yeah, my family is safe on an island off the coast  of L.A called Catalina.
And they want me to go there, i said.
You should go, they said.
No, i can't leave you guys, i said.
Yes you can, Scott added.
Come with me then,i argued.
This is our home Haily, Denny said.
It's not safe here!, i said.
It's only a matter of time before those things march in here..
Maybe.., Scott said.
Then a thud echoed trought the room.
Our heads snapped to the front door.
Another thud banged against the door.
We need to leave!,i yelled
I sat on my knees and held Jullie's hand. Sweety go get your stuff and come back here when you"re done.
Scott, Denny go do the same.
Denny left to get her bags and anny weapon.
Scott, wait. Can i have my guns back?
He handed them over.
I ran to jullie's pink room and grabbed my backpack.
I heard more sound comming from the door. I helped jullie and gave her a knife.
Don't cut youself, ok sweety?
Okey.
I put her long brown hair in a little ponytail.
Lets go back to your mom and dad.
When we were all in the livingroom the door gave away and three undead came inside, the first one stumbled over to jullie. JULLIE! GET BACK!, i yelled. She ran behind me.
Then in stumbled over to me.
I raised my knofe to stab it but it knoked me down, sending my knife flying trought the air.
Jullie threw me a bat that scott held.
I grabbed it and started bashing the white eyed freak's head in.
I couldn't use my gun because that would attract more undead.
I popped the seccond ones knee out and delivered a fatal blow to its neck.
The third one lumbered over to Denny. I grabbed my knife and before the undead freak could bite her neck i threw my knife straight into its eye.
Thank you, Denny said , her voice trembling.
No problem, i said while a trickle of crimson red blood slipped from my knife.
They are recently turned.
I told you it's not safe.
We can go to Catalina, i said.
Yeah we're in, Scott and Denny said at the same time.
We walked out, Jullie holding my hand.
She looked with a tear roling down her cheeck at her pink room she had known her whole life.
I smiled at her and said; it's gonna be ok we are going to an island where we"ll be safe.
She cracked a little smile.
We walked down the building and again, i was back on the road.
L.A was pretty far from Boston.
We needed a ride, we are not walking hundreds of miles.
