Recap:
"Its the end of the world." James says. I gasp.
Now:
I start crying and mama runs over and hugs me. "Its okay baby girl." she says. I cry into her shoulder. "W-what does he m-mean its the end of the w-world?" I ask. "There were....dead people...but they were walking.... eating people." daddy says. "Zombies." James says. I start crying. Daddy picks me up and carries me upstairs to my room and lays me on my bed. He holds me until I fall asleep.
-*-
I wake up and go downstairs. I see mama and James boxing up all our food. I see daddy loading stuff up into the camper. My grandaddy on my mamma's side was a lawyer and when he died we got his brand new camper in the will. I see Anna is still asleep on the couch. "Go pack you and Anna's cloths." Momma says. I nod. I pick Anna up and go upstairs and grab our large suitcases and pack our stuff. Then I go downstairs. Daddy takes our stuff and puts it in the camper. "Come on honey." mama says, taking Anna from me. I nod and follow her to the camper. "What about the animals?" I ask. Mama looks at daddy. "Where only taking the horses and Bo." he says. We nod. Daddy and James go load up the horses and hay in the horse trailer and hook it to the camper and I go find my beagle pup Bo. "Bo?! Here boy!" I yell, whistling for him. he comes trotting up the dirt drive, his ears flopping. I pick him up and carry him to the camper. Then we leave.
The next day.....
I lay on the top bunk drawing random things in my notebook. I'm a horrible drawer but it passes the time. I sigh and jump off my bunk and go up to the front of the camper. I see Mama looking at a map. "There's a gas station up ahead." she tells daddy. He nods. We pull up into the gas station and I jump off the camper with my money. I want a Hersey bar. I run towards the store. "Where are you going?!" Daddy asks, filling the camper with gas. I hold up my money. "I'm goin to buy a Hersey bar!" I yell. He nods. I run in the store and don't see anyone, so I walk to the candy isle. Mmmmm..... I walk through the isle searching for the delicious Hersey bar. Finally I find it and smile. I might as well get something for everyone else. I grab a snikers for James, a twix for mama, a babe Ruth for daddy and a loli pop for Anna. Then I go up to the front and lay my stuff on the counter and wait. After a few minutes of waiting I hear a groan coming from the employee lounge. I walk over and open the door. I see a man facing the wall. "Sir? Are you okay?" I ask. He turns and looks at me and I gasp. He's white as a sheet and is covered in dirt and blood! His eyes are silver. I scream. He chases after me and I run down an isle and stop. Suddenly he pops out of nowhere and tackles me to the ground making a shelf fall on us. I start screaming and fighting him. "Abby?!!?" Daddy yells, running into the store. I continue fighting the man. Daddy and James rip the shelf off of us and Daddy jerks the guy off of me and stabs him in the head, making blood go all over me. I scream and start crying. Daddy hurries over to me, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asks. I don't answer and continue to cry. He picks me up and hurries to the camper and lays me on the couch. Mama runs over to me and starts cleaning me off. "I'll go get James." daddy says, hurrying off the camper. "Baby girl did it bite you?" mama asks. I shake my head. "Did it scratch you?" she asks, worried. I shake my head. She smiles and hugs me, "Thank god." she says. Just then daddy and James climb on the camper with bags and crates of stuff. "Supplies." Daddy says, simply as they carry it to the back. James comes back and hands me my Hersey bar. "I saw your stuff on the counter." he says. I smile and hug him. "Thank you." I say, hugging him. "No prob little sis." he says, ruffling my hair. I smile. He walks to his bunk and climbs on, putting his headphones in and listening to his music. I see Anna is watching the campers TV. Daddy climbs in the driver seat and drives off and Iay my head on mama's shoulder and fall asleep.
-*-
I wake up and no ones on the RV. Not even Bo. I get up, and grab my candy bar and climb off the camper. I see a bunch of tents surrounding our camper. Its dark. I walk over to the fire and see Mama, Daddy, James and Anna sitting around it with another family. I sit beside Mama. "How long have I been asleep?" I ask, taking Anna. "Three days." mama says. "What?!" I ask. "Shhhhh. Zombies have good senses of hearing." daddy says. I nod, "Sorry sir." I say. My dad used to be in the military. "You just looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you." mama says. I nod. "Abby this is the Millers. This is John." daddy says, pointing to the dad. "Marsha." he says, pointing to the mom. "And this is Ally." he says, pointing to a girl my age. I smile at them. The grown ups sit up and talk for a while so me and Ally take Anna into the camper and watch movies. After a while we get tired and fall asleep.
-*-
I wake up and see everyone is gone except Ally. I shake her awake. "Wanna ride the horses?" I ask. She smiles and nods. "I love horses." she says. We get up and go outside and I see our dads working on a fence and James is chopping wood and Anna is playing with Bo. "Daddy?! Me and Ally are gonna ride the horse's!" I yell. He nods, and walks over and helps us sattle the horses. "Yalls mamas are by the river over yonder doing laundry. Y'all go see if they need any help." daddy says. We bid and hop on the horses and set off towards the little stream down the road. We ride down the field to the stream daddy told me about and I see me and Ally's mama's doing laundry. We ride over and climb off and tie the horses to a tree. "Hi mama!" I say, running over to my mama. "Hey baby girl. Wanna help me with the laundry?" she asks. I nod.
One month later....
Were still in the field and daddy and John are building a fence around the little field. We haven't had any zombies come. Thank god. We finally found somewhere safe. "Abby?! Ally?!" mama yells. We hurry out of the camper and over to mama. "I'm gonna help Allys mama with some sowing. We are making a blanket. Will you and Ally go with James down to the stream and wash the cloths?" mama asks. I nod. James grabs the cloths basket and mama hands me Anna. We start walking to the stream. James plays with Anna while me and Ally do laundry.
-*-
We walk back to camp and I hear yelling. I drop the laundry and run over and see my mama and Alloys Mama laying dead on the ground. We scream. I see a zombie bite into daddy's neck and he falls to the ground dead. I scream. Ally's dad kills the zombie then looks at us. "We bury them then leave." he says. I drop to my knees and cry. He burys them then loads up all our stuff then we leave in the camper. I hold Anna and cry. Ally cries with me and so does James.
