Devastation (#Wattys2017) [On Hold]

Chapter 9 : Back To Normal

9 Months After The War

I walk to Pipers Restaurant and wait outside for Alex.

"Hey, Lola what you doing ?" Tom says as he walks in front of me.

"Hey, Tom how are you?"

He rushes away and doesn't answer me, I look around for Alex but I don't see him.

"Boo!" Alex sneaks up behind and scares me.

I jump out of my skin as he spins me around and kisses me "How's my beautiful Fiancé"

I look at him in embarrassment "Why do you have to be so awkward?"

He smiles and we walk into Pipers Restaurant "Hey lovebirds!" Piper and Junior shout at the same time we all laugh.

"Hey Boss we need to go on a supply run, " says one of the men at Whitefield.

Me and Alex look at each other and he nods.

"Fine only take a few guns and a few clips we don't want to waste anything," I say demandingly.

The man leaves the restaurant and me, Piper, Junior and Alex sit down at a table and eat dinner, I check my watch and it's 8:30 pm. We finish our meals and me and Alex go to our home, me and Alex moved in together 4 months ago after he proposed to me. We got engaged fast because we didn't know how long we had left together in this new world. Bang. Bang. Bang. The gate gets banged on I watch the gate slide open and 4 men on horses come in, I walk down our path and the men jump off their horses and walk up to me.

"Lola we have bad news, Martha died the other day she had a heart attack before she died, she wrote a note saying that Poppy should be the next in charge she asked me to give you this note".

'Hello Lola I was just letting you know that after my mother's death, I will be taking her place in leadership we will carry on being ally's and also trade partners- Lots of love Poppy'.

I hand the letter back, the men on the horses ride away. I walk into the warehouse and enter the armoury I check all the guns and there are still loads of guns left enough for another war. I leave the armoury and walk into the infirmary "Hello Dr Andrews". He finishes doing a check up on one of the children he feels the boy's temperature and he seems ok

"Hello, Lola I didn't realise that you were there".

I say goodbye to him because I need to check the food supplies I walk into the food supply room and our food is quite low. I leave the room and then leave the warehouse I climb up the sniper tower and grab the Barret I am looking down the scope, I aim it at a biter and pull the trigger. The silencer produces no noise so the gunshot doesn't attract any biters I kill a few more biters just for practice. I pass the sniper back to Wallace and he nods, I make my way down the ladders and meet with Piper

"So Lola, what do you want to do?"

"I heard there is a party or something tonight" Piper nods and says that she will meet me in the warehouse at 11 pm.

I go home and Alex is in bed, I kiss his head and I get dressed. I just put on simple outfit White Crop Top, Black Jeans and some White Vans. I sneak out the house and lock the door, I sneak down to the courtyard and enter the warehouse. I walk inside and see Piper the music is out on low so we don't attract biters but we're still able to dance a man walks up to me and Piper and gives us a drink of alcohol.

3 Hours Later

I walk out of the warehouse and throw up everywhere Piper supports me and leads me home, she unlocks my door and puts me to bed I think to myself what a night?

I'm sorry this chapter was a bit boring but I was just trying to show you how things have changed during the 9 months and introducing the next chapter will be outside of Whitefield.
