When we get home, dad tells me to go to my room. I do since he's in a bad mood again, he has ever since those pricks shot up one of our smaller compounds.

When I get to my room, I pull out my book and continue reading. I hear screams from downstairs and pull my pillow over my head. Yes, I'm not happy that they tried to kill all of us, but I don't think bringing Lucille into the picture was a good idea. I mad at my father for killing Abraham and whoever he just threatened. There are so few in this group.

I feel like, seeing as there are are those creatures everywhere, as humans we need to stick together, not kill one another to prove strength! I hope he didn't kill the boy my age...he was kind of cute.

Today was eventful, but I really need sleep. I close my book and try my hardest to fall under, but I'm unsuccessful. I stare up at my ceiling for God knows how long when I hear someone or something banging around. I grab my bow and a few arrows. I load it and shuffle out of my room. There is a bright light at the end of the hall. "Dad?" "Yes sweetie, go back to bed."

Only one problem, that isn't my dad's voice.
