Lia, Rain, Karli, and I all walked in silence down the street. The sun was starting to rise on us and the heat felt sensational.

"I can't believe Emily actually tried to start a fire." Karli mumbled to herself. Her eyes kept twitching and she was very jumpy ever since last night.

Rain kept to himself when we walked. By the time we reached the dead body of the young girl that Rowen had killed. She had a name tag on.

Hello My Name Is

EMMA PARSONS

Rain groaned and lifted the spear out of her mutated and gory neck. Her eyes were lifeless and stone-cold. Rain dragged her body over to a small garden and lay her in it surrounded by dead flowers.

We kept moving and finally we reached the edge of Chicago. There were suburbs and I could see movement along all the homes.

Civilization? I thought that until I realized that there was a fight going on down there. Fountains of blood shot into the air and fell back down to the battlefield.

Rain suggested,"Let's go help."

Karli disproved that by saying,"Let's not. After Emily and Rowen are both dead now, I don't want to see any more.

I took a couple steps closer and before I knew it, I was near the edge of the homes. What was strange was that they were all animals attacking the survivors. Not mutations, animals. Cats, dogs, mice, lizards, bears, and a couple lions. I saw a person get slashed and their head came off. The strange thing was, the body fell to the ground and a cat that was nearby dissipated and appeared above the body. It started to melt into the fallen man.

I shivered. A thought popped into my head to go and help, but I thought against it.

We've lost too many.
