The Aftermath

Day 3

When I woke up, the first thing I saw outside the tent was people building the wall. How coincidental, cause my dream was the president was planning to build a wall on the mexico barrier.

"Grim said we should start building the storage section", Alex said, first thing in the morning. We walked towards the gate, it suprised me to see how fast they built the gate. Only the back wall is under construction. We gathered wood in the forest then we got back to the camp. Vim was a carpenter which was pretty helpful so that we can easily craft wooden planks for the builds.

"This will be done in 3 days, you should gather more, in case it's not enough for building the storage section.", He suggested. The rest of the day was just collecting wood and twigs. Vim created stone axe to make cutting wood faster. Its just stone thats connected to a stick, we were finding for mostly sharp stone and sticks. We got back to Vim and he gave us the axes. The only problem is that, the two of us can't carry the log by ourselves, so Adrian and Grim helped us.

We were so tired when noon arrived. Jullie and Cassandra cooked lunch for us. Although thr meal was just canned foods, it was better than nothing. Soon, the food will run out, eventually and we need to scout the city. After lunch, they continued building the wall. Me and Alex continued lookimg for scraps. While we were looking, we hit jackpot. We found a metal scrap, perfect for the buildings, we could use it for the roof. Also we found a blood stain. The bomb couldn't have caused this because it will just turn it into ash. Then I realized, someone was missing in the camp. We followed the blood stain and we saw someone, hanged on a tree branch with wounds in his arm and a knife at the ground. We ran back to the camp and reported what we saw. "Someone died", Alex said. "Who?", Grim asked. "Donald", I answered.

Me, Alex and Grim ran back to Donald's deceased body and investigated the area. Grim found a not saying "I know you'll kill me when we go to the city, so I killed myself. I was thinking of bleeding out to death but it was too slow so I hanged myself. Anyways, the text won't arrive today. The sender is busy with something. But He told me to tell you what he's going to text. "Monsters may come at night". That's what the note says.

"It's a suicide note", Alex said. "What does the message mean?", Grim asked. What I'm trying to figure out is, who is the sender? And what's his/her relation with Donald? And what happened with the sender? We got back to the camp and reported it to everyone. We were trying to figure out the meaning of the message. "Monsters may come at night", what does that mean? But we figured it out later.

As the sun sets, the wall was finished. Me and Alex can go to the city but we won't go, not until we figure out the message. And we did. At 7:00 pm while Adrian was at the tower doing his duty. He saw something moving outside the gate. He reported it to Grim and we investigated what was happening.

We went outside with a knife and a pistol. Each of us have one because the bunker has 2 each and 3 ak 47. We only brought the knife and pistol so that it wouldn't be a waste of bullet. " Hello?", Alex said. And something ran towards him, it pinned him on the ground while it was scratching him with his sharp claws.

I shot it and it ran towards me and pinned me to the ground, the pain was roaming around my body, mostly on my left arm because I was using it to protect myself. I used my right hand to reach for the knife on the pocket of my pants and stabbed the beast on his head. It died. I pushed it so that I could stand up. "It looks like a human", Grim said. "Because it is, well it was a human", I said. "It mutated and if we can't fix these wounds we will too", I added.

The wounds was not that deep but my brain was in pain. I'm guessing Alex is feeling it too. So we ran back to the camp, the only weird thing was, me and Alex was a lot faster than Grim. When we reached the gate, Grim was still running towards us. "What the hell? How did you run that fast?", Grim asked us. "I don't know. I thought we were just running with you", Alex replied. "I think it's the mutation", I suggested to them. We patched the wounds and covered it. My head ache was gone after covering the wounds so I went to the kitchen section and ate my dinner. I was still fast, maybe the mutation us still insde us, luckily we covered it fast enough so that it won't get worst. I ate my dinner and went to the bonfire.

Grim reported to everybody the happenings  today. A lot murmured about it, "Tomorrow, Alex and Alexa will go to the city to scout it", Grim said to them. "Who will volunteer to go with them?", he asked. Cassandra raised her hands. Cassandra amazed me, she's such a badass girl. She is a goth after all but he can do a lot of things. The meeting was done and everyone either got back to their jobs or goes back to their tent. I went to my bunker instead. I don't like sleeping in the tent, I keep on getting nightmares. I wen outside the gate and ran towards the bunker, I was still fast. When I reached it, I quickly went inside with my journal and wrote the whole day. After this, I will sleep cause Day 3 was tiring.

Whoever finds this, hit the monsters in the head and it will kill them. Trust me, something big is gonna happen.
