Final Era - Part One

~ Jaylinn ~ 

It was a cold morning today in the city, so we needed to find warmer clothes to wear in Canada. I radioed Farah, "Hey Jay." 

"Hello Farah." 

"So how have you been?" and in the background I heard, "Honey, you can go get ready I'll be done soon." 

"Who was that?" 

"Oh, that's Eli. I met him in Minnesota and we are at his house in Canada. He is so sweet and handsome. I really like him, Jay. How are things with Wyatt, Sonya, and Cain?" 

"Everyone is doing great. I'm so happy you found some company for this journey." 

"Where are you now?" 

"Vancouver, Canada." 

"How long do you think it will take you to get to Manitoba?" 

"I have no idea, maybe two or three days" 

"Okay well I will radio you later. Bye" 

"Bye Bye." 

Since I was driving, Wyatt was looking for clothing shops, Sonya and Cain were also helping. They pointed out some good ones but zombies were near. I didn't want to risk the kids. 

When we were driving, we came across a group of people, maybe 7 of them, who looked like they needed help. We couldn't stop because who knows what they could do to us or the kids. Needless to say they made us stop, I looked Wyatt, and my eyes were huge. I rolled down my window just a crack to hear them. 

"Get out of the SUV now!" Some guy yelled at me. 

I stayed quiet and let Wyatt talk, "We have kids that can't walk far distances. So no, we will not get out of the car." 

"Look man either you can get out of the car without anything bad happening or..." the man pulls out a gun and aims it at Wyatt. 

"Look we don't want any trouble so leave us alone. We need the car more than you do." I said to the man. 

The man looked at me, with a look that I can't distinguish, and then I began to panic. I knew who the guy was, and his name was Scar; that was Noah's biological father. He has a nice long scar across his face from my brother, dark brown eyes with jet black hair. Once he knew that I knew him, he asked "So Jay, where's Noah? Is he still with your brother?" 

So I lied to him, "He's dead, Scar, and so is my brother. You got your wish, or well half of it because I'm still here. Now you let us pass or I will tell your people how you got that scar." 

He looked at me as I looked at him, straight faced and keeping eye contact, then someone shot him. He just dropped dead from a gunshot to the back of the head. I was covered in his blood, I looked at his group, in shock; I knew them all. His group looked at me and looked around. No one else saw it, but there was a guy up on a roof top. Soon the guy took out a zombie that was on the other side of our car. 

Cain yelled out the window and said "Here Jay!" he handed me binoculars to use. So I used them to see who it was but I didn't know who the people were. Wyatt got out of the car and looked, He smiled; it was his friend Daryl and some girl. The group looked at us, then up the mountain to where Wyatt and I were looking, and took off. 

After they left in a hurry, Wyatt motioned for Daryl to come down and he agreed. Once he got to the car we got Cain and Sonya out of the car and introduced them. 

"Daryl this is my girlfriend, Jaylinn, and these two kids are Sonya and Cain; we had to take them with us from where they were. Everyone, this is my old friend Daryl." Wyatt said.
