10 days of purging

4

March 21
9:23pm (day one)

My breath was hitching, I couldn't believe what was happening right now at all. Me and Beth were standing in front of the biggest grocery store downtown where everyone comes to purge. It was quite frightening, I
Felt as if someone was gonna
Come from behind me and slice my neck.

I knew that I shouldn't be having all these thoughts about death and all,
but It's kind of hard not to when you are out on purge nights. It may not sound as scary, but it is, it's extremely frightening.

I may have Beth by my side through
This, But she can't fight for shit, and I
Literally mean it. I may not be the greatest at fighting, but I'm not horrible either. I do know how to get away when someone's chasing you,
Or trying to stab you, and Beth. Well that's another story, she would probably just cry and let them kill her.

A small gasp escaped Beth's mouth, giving me goosebumps everywhere. Her eyes filled with terror as if She
just Saw a ghost.

I gulped slowly while looking around to see what was wrong, but I saw nothing.

"Beth what is it? You're scaring me"

She swallowed the lump in her throat, but just smiled with a giggle. I raised my eyebrow but immediately realized she was fučking with me. I groaned loudly while pushing her. "Not cool, you can't do that kind of stuff"

She burst into laughter, tilting her Head back and clutching her stomach
As she did so. "You should have seen your face" she laughed out. I rolled my eyes, and opened the market doors.

They didn't decide to lock it since they already knew that people were most
Likely going to break in. Me and Beth were only here to grab some supply's and put it into the bag we found On The side of the road.

"Common lets just make this quick alright, we never know if someone could be in there" I whispered for
Only her to hear. She slowly nodded her head swallowing the lump in her throat.

I could tell that she was nervous for what was to come, and I can't blame her, I'm nervous too, I just have a better way of not showing it to other people, and I definitely won't show it to her. We both need someone strong in this situation we are in, and I know she can't play the part, so here I am. Playing the part for the both of us.

She nodded her head slowly, waiting for me to enter the store first. (I'm so Beth, I would legit wait for someone to enter first, cause if that person dies I have the opportunity to run)

I took a deep breath, glancing over at Beth hiding behind me, she looked as if she was going to faint any moment now. She was clutching on to my arm so tight I wanted to tell her to let the hell go of me, but I knew I shouldn't. She's more scared then she's ever been, and I can't blame her.

I bit my lip, and swung the doors opened. It was so dark in here I couldn't see anything. The only thing I could see was the little emergency light that was over the cereal Section.

Without thinking, I grabbed on to Beth's hand and started running over to the only place that had light. Our footsteps were loud and fast. I wish it was the opposite, but it's not. Probably anyone from the outside could hear us.

I stoped quickly as we made it, and started grabbing as many boxes of cereal that I could. I really don't care what kind I grabbed, I just know that we need food to eat.

Beth on the other hand, was running to the other section to grab drinks, and probably other types of food. I'm actually pretty surprised that she had the strength to step a foot away from me.

Glancing around me, I saw a few bags of chips, and fruits a few sections down from where I was. That's a pretty weird mix to be together really.

I looked around me only to see darkness and the littlest light left. I felt my insides turn, and goosebumps appear all over my body. I felt the need to just want to run to the other section quickly, grab what I need and find Beth.

That's exactly what I did.

I ran quickly through the sections, feeling nothing but nervousness through my body. This market looked sketchy, as if it was touched, or as if
Somebody was in here right now and this exact moment.

I want to just scream so loud, or pinch myself wishing that I will just wake up and all this was a dream. But dreams are always nightmares, and this nightmare was real.

I stopped in my tracks and started grabbing as many bags of chips that I could. I threw it into the bag, grabbing more and more until it was half way through.

I wanted to fill it up more but I know that we need to put the drinks in here as well.

I threw my head back, blowing out the peace of hair I had in my face.

"HELP"

I dropped the bag that was in my hands, looking around me with wide eyes. Beth's voice screaming for help sent me chills from head to toe.

"EVA" another scream filled the air.

I bit my lip starting to run in the direction her voice was coming from. Every turn I made my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. Beth is my everything, she's the only person I have left, and I can't let her go, I just can't.

I would die for her if I had to.

"PLEASE, DON'T SHOT ME" a cry escaped her mouth.

I ran faster, turning in every direction I could possible.

I could feel that I was getting closer, her cries were getting louder and louder by the second.

I stoped in my tracks as I saw her In front of me, and saw how scared she looked. It was as if she was ready to just give up. I can't let her do that, I
Promised her we will be okay, and I'm keeping that promise.

I ran faster then I've ever ran before, slamming myself on to Beth so I was in front of her.

The person across from me looked awfully familiar. Brown hair, hazel eyes, nice jawline. Is his name Cameron?

I swallowed the lump in my throat glancing down at the gun in his hand. Was he purging?

I glanced back up at him placing a smirk on my face.

          Time to be badass Eva
