Chapter 19: "Those Who Arrive, Survive."

Anna's POV

We got back and the bus wasn't there.

Me- Where is it?!?!?!?

Where are they!?!?!?

Carl- Oh no.

Me- We have to find them! Something could've-

Carl- Anna, calm down I'm sure they're fine !!!!-

Me- But what if their not and Addy and Grayson are on that bus!

Carl pushed me down to the ground and covered my mouth.

I tried to scream under his hands.

Carl- Anna! Shhhh be quiet! He whispers.

I was so confused at this point.

Then I heard movement by the trees. We were under a bush type thing. We were camouflage.

"I saw the tracks come over here." a voice said.

"We don't want to .... Uh..... Kill them right" another said.

"Oh Patrick. Patrick Patrick Patrick. Isn't that the only way to stop them?" The first voice said.

"But...."

"But what Patrick?"

"Nothing." Patrick said.

They walked away.

℘ąɬŗıçƙ? ɬɧɛ ℘ąɬŗıçƙ ῳɛ ƙŋɛῳ?

Carl uncovered my mouth. I whispered to him.

"Patrick. They said Patrick."

Carl- It could be another Patrick-

Me- Carl.

He looked at the ground that was still right beneath us.

Carl- But ..... Why would he be with another group-

Me- *cutting him off*

*sigh*. I don't know.

Carl- He better not have anyone else with him or I'll

Me- Carl.

Carl- hhhhhh.

Me- Let's just keep walking and maybe we'll find them.

Carl got up and grabbed my hand.

I stood up.

Carl- Stay by me, okay?

I can't lose another family member.

Family member.

Me- I know. Same with you.

Carl- they might've left because the governor found them, or my dad warned them.

Me- Of?

Carl- The governor

Me- I thought your dad killed him?

Carl- Well that's not for sure. It looked like it when I left. Otherwise I would've stayed and I wouldn't be here with you right now.

Me- And I would be with the people on the bus.

Carl- Yea. I guess it's pretty bad.

We continue walking up a railroad.

There was a sign on a tree.

I read it out loud.

"Safety up north. Those who arrive, survive."

Me and Carl exchanged looks.

Me- Maybe they're up there!

Carl- There's a chance.....

Me- Let's go.

Carl- it could be a trap.

Me- Who would try and trap us? There's barely any room to be mad at other humans anymore.

Carl- No. There's still people alive.

Me- Like who?

Carl- The governor.

We look up the railroad past the sign.

Maybe we would be safe there.

"Those who arrive,

Survive."
