Constant Fear

Did you hear that?

         Once we got there we stayed in the basement and kept all the doors locked. Days past and it was the same old thing. Derek turned on the tv and we watched the news for 25 minutes until it turned off. We all looked at eachother and then all the power went off. "Did you hear that?" Belle's younger sister Tessa said. "What did you hear?" I asked her. "I heard something from upstairs." She told me. "I'll go check it out." Belle's Dad informed us. "I'll come with you." My dad said. They both went upstairs and returned about 30 minutes later. "We need to get our stuff and leave." My dad said in a scared tone. No one questioned it and we all packed quickly. Once everything was packed up my dad and Belle's dad walked up slowly. "Stay down here for a sec." My dad told everyone. My dad and Belle's dad went upstairs and returned a few seconds later and motioned us from the top of the stairs to come up. We all came up holding our bags and went outside to the cars. I soon noticed that my dad and Belle's dad were holding guns.  We all got into their van which was one seat short so my younger brother Luke sat on my mom's lap. My dad sat up front while Belle's dad drove. We were driving for an hour and drove past someone and I seemed to be the only one who noticed. "Why was that person walking in the middle of nowhere." I said breaking the silence. "They have to be sick. We should call an ambulance for them." I told them. "I guess I should tell you all." My Dad said. "When me and Steve went upstairs there was someone banging on the window. Me and  Steve looked at him and there was something off. We went outside and asked him what he wanted but we got no response. It started walking toward us and then we heard someone say 'Run' to us. We hesitated but we ran over to the person. He told us that he was infected and then he shot him. We didn't understand why he did that so we yelled at him. He continued to tell us that the infected eat the uninfected and if they bite you you turn into one of them. He said now it's all about survival. Me and Steve ran inside and grabbed guns and all the weapons we could find and then we decided that we should take off." My dad finished.                              "So that person Olympia saw was an infected person that wanted to eat us?" Belle asked. "That's right." Belle's dad said. "But where are we going now?" My mom asked. "Me and Steve listened to the radio and there someone talking on it and said that any survivors get the the train station to get to safety." My dad informed us. "Is a train going to take us somewhere safe?" Belle's mom asked. "Yep." My dad answered. "The train station is 2 hours away are you sure we will make it?" my mom asked. "It will leave in 2 hours and 15 minutes so we will have to run to catch it." my dad told us. "What?!" Belle said said in a scared tone. "Sorry I don't mean to make people nervous." My dad said. "We have to be ready and be able to jump out with our bags and run." Belle's dad told us. After twenty minutes Belle's dad started speeding and with him speeding we got there in 1 hour and 30 minutes which got us more time. Everyone hopped out of the car with there bags. Belle's Dad lead the way while everyone followed. We ran through the train station till we got to the right train. I became extremely nervous when it they yelled they were about to take off. We all ran as fast as we could but it started the train started to move. I know it was going earlier than it should have so they must be going because something happened. We continued to run till one of the doors opened and the person who opened it pulled Derek and Belle's sister in. He then pulled Belle in and then me. I helped pull Belle's mom and Dad in. My parents were about to get in but it was getting close to it leaving so they threw my little brother in. I looked back and saw that my parents weren't running anymore. They waved to me. I couldn't believe they didn't make it. I looked again and saw them and a few others running somewhere else.                                                                                                                                                   I began to cry and so did my brother so Belle's mom comforted us. After fifteen minutes someone brought us to some seats. Belle's dad was mad and he asked one of the workers why they left so early. "Some of the infected got in so we had to move." the worker told Belle's dad. Belle's dad came back to his seat and put his face in his hands. I thought to myself. "My parents are probably one of them by now." My little brother put his head on my lap and began to cry so I tried to comfort him as best as I could.
