We all had been walking for over 2 hours when Damon trips and falls.

"Hey." He says angrily.

"Whats wrong?" Valentine asks walking over to Damon.

We all get closer to him and my smile is ear to ear. We found the bunker.

"Yes!" I yell out loud overjoyed.

"What?" Georgie asks puzzled.

"We found the bunker! It's the opening!" I say jumping up and down.

"Really!" Georgie asks.

"Yea!" I say twisting open the hatch that leads down.

As everyone crowds around i decide to be the first to go down. As i descend i feel a surge of hunger go over me, It's been almost 2 days since I've eaten a good meal aside from the crappy salad Valentine made.

I wave the cobwebs and dust out of my face as i land on the cement flooring. 

"Come on down!" I holler up to the rest of them. 

AS the rest of them climb down i explore the old bunker that i remember vividly as one of my favorite times with Georgie. I remember us running through these halls and chasing one another.

"whew," Steve says knocking me out my daze.

I help Willow down and Haden is right behind her. Now that we are all together in the room, Georgie climbs back up quickly and waits for me to find the old flashlight. I rummage around some old boxes until i find it and click it on. 
"Found it!" I yell up and hear the thud of the door closing.

I shone the flashlight up at her as she climbs back down. 

"Ok, guys this should be a good camp for a few more days before we need to leave." Georgie states.

"But why do we have to leave?" Steve whines. 

"I will bet my life that those government guys are hot on our tail and are looking for us. You're seriously implying that they didn't see us make a run for it to the woods?" She hisses.

"Well, you never know." He retorts.

"Do you want to chance that?" She growls and he backs down.

"Well, with that said let's explore," Haden says.

"Ok, Damon, Valentine, and Steve follow me. Willow, you can go with Haden and Dove." Georgie decides. 

"Ok." Willow squeaks and walks over to Haden and I.

Haden gives her a gentle smile and puts his hand on her shoulder protectively. We could almost be a picture perfect-deformed- family!

"Ok you guys go that way and we'll go this way," Georgie says pointing in the opposite direction. 

Georgie picks up another discarded flashlight and leaves us to go the other way. As we walk down the dim light halls we start to kind of chat and get to know each other.

"I shared a room with my friend Ingrid, she is kind of...um...different?" She jokes and i tell she is getting used to being around us and putting down her protective barrier and i laugh.

"Stop," I warn as we skid to a stop right before a set of stairs. "I don't remember this being here last time."

"What do you mean? How couldn't it be here last time its stairs made out of cement." Haden says confused

"Don't ask me!" I defend.

"I'm going down there," I state and start to walk down the stairs.

"Well, we aren't just going to sit here in the dark, so we are too," Haden says and they follow me down the stairs.

"Woah..." I muse at the almost identical copy of the apartments back at town. 

"They look like the apartments." We all say at once.

"It even has the same door." I muse opening the door to reveal even more rooms.

"Wow. Its like just one big underground apartment." Willow says smiling.

"Yea...," Haden says uneasily.

"I have the best idea!" Willow squeals.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Once we get back to town and get rid of those weirdos we could move here!" She says cheery.

"Yea.." I lie.

"Ok we should probably get back to the other group." Haden suggests and we start walking.

---

"So what did you guys find?" Georgie asks.

"We found this really cool stair case leading down to apartments, like the ones from our old town." Willow blurts.

"Wow." Georgie contemplates.

"Yea, we could possibly stay there for tonight and tomorrow." Haden suggests.

"Yea, we found some cans of food. Shouldn't be too bad. Got some beans and chips." Georgie says.

"Yea, well let's go down there and rest maybe." I add.

"Yea." They all agree.

---

We had decided that we have the girls in one room and the boys in the other. Georgie and Valentine had agreed to sleep on the futon while Willow and I sleep in the bed.

The boys were in the room right across from us.

Once we were all settled in everyone but me fell asleep immediately. I don't know why but I can't sleep. At all now.

If I try to I get this uneasy feeling like someone is watching me.

I get up quietly and tip toe out if the bedroom and into the long hallway. I walk down the hallway getting closer to a flickering light.

I get to the light and see an armoury like room. Stocked with hand guns,ammo and rifles. I take as many bullets and guns I can carry in my arm.

I run as fast as I can back to the rooms. Something must've changed, I don't remember taking any turns.

My stomach drops. This. Is. Not. Good.
