The Beginning of the End

Brian

I wake up on the floor and slowly sit up as my eyes adjust.

"Guys?" I ask.

I look around and don't see anyone.

"Guys!?!" I ask again, a little louder this time.

I slowly stand up and walk up the stairs. Still not seeing anyone I continue to look around.

"What the he.." I say to myself.

I hear a loud noise come from Jessies room and I run in there seeing Brian laying on the ground crying.

"Brian?" I ask.

I grab my pocket knife out of my pocket just in case.

"Allison what's happening to me?" He asks.

I take a deep breath.

"This world makes people mad" I say.

He looks up at me with a sad bruised face.

"Everyone hates me now" 

"They don't hate you.....they just...don't really trust you.."

"I can't help it.."

I slowly walk over to him.

"I know....I don't hate you"

I kneel down next to him and he looks up at me.

"No...I've hurt you the most..." he says.

"It's ok" 

"Everyone else ran away from me"

He drops a bloody knife out of his hand.

"What did you do?" I ask.

He sits up.

"I hurt myself....not anyone else...almost....but I stopped myself"

He shows my a bloody mark on his arm.

"Could I wrap it up?" I ask.

He nods and I grab his hand and lead him to the bathroom. He sits on the toilet and I clean and wrap his arm up.

"I think what you need is sleep" I say.

He nods.

We walk to his room and he lays down.

"Where is everyone else?" I ask.

He sighs.

"In the woods..." he replies.

I nod.

"Goodnight Brian"

"Goodnight Allison"

I walk out of the room and shove the knife back in my pocket. I walk down the stairs and grab my machete then I walk out to the edge of the woods.

"Guys!" I yell.

No one responds.

"Guys!" I yell a little louder this time.

I hear some rustling in the woods and then I see Willow run out.

"Willow!" I yell.

She hugs me.

"Wheres everyone else?" I ask.

She shrugs.

"I don't know....you were out for a few days...and some threats came from the saviors and from Brian....so everyone ran....they thought you were dead..you barely had a heart beat"

A shiver goes down my spine.

"It's alright..." I say.

I start walking into the woods and she follows behind.

"Janies with them?" I ask.

She nods.

Tyler.....Janie....James....they all just left me...

I stop.

"Do you need anything from back there?" I ask.

She shakes her head.

We continue walking.

"This world really does make people mad...." I say.

Willow sighs and we walk through the woods.

Ten minutes pass and we still haven't found anyone or anything.

"Jessie!" I yell.

No response.

"Janie!"

"James!"

"Tyler!"

"Daryl!"

No one responds and I stop and stand in the darkness.

"It's dark, cold, scary, and I don't know where we are" Willow whimpers.

I dig in my pocket and pull out a lighter.

"I got a lighter but it probably wont do much"

She grabs it then jumps when it starts to thunder.

"Great now its gonna rain" she whines.

Out of everyone to be stuck with...

"Whats that over there?" She asks.

She runs over and climbs inside.

"Its a cave!" She exclaims.

We both go inside and I light the lighter.

"Good thing we got in here when we did, its pouring outside"

I look around and panic when I see other bloody, ripped, broken faces looking back at us.
