As the hatch flung open the air became hard to breathe as it suffocated me as if I was being choked to death. The world around me looked like a dessert, trying to get a closer look at things, they looked to blurry.

You need to get back down! A muffled voice called not knowing it real of just in my head but I just... stayed up.

The pressure and heat of the air filled my lungs with pain as I kept gasping for air. Before I knew it my hands detached from the bars and let me go down.

Hitting the floor below me, the other three rushed over as two put on a mask to produce air,while the other shut the hatch. I felt fatigue wash over my body as I took another slumber into fantasy.

As my eyes flung open the world around me was trashed, the once giant cities had turned into rubble and sand, looking around two group with arms came at each other showing no mercy as that turned into a person dying in someone's arms, then mutants, and a willow tree with someone laying at the foot of the tree as they disappeared and what was left was a grave.

Snapping awake, I felt like air was taken from my lungs as I tried to breathe in air. Gasping for air a hand held a strange device and placed over the lower part of my face covering my nose and mouth.

Quickly catching the person's hand, I grasped it tightly not wanting to let go as it made me feel calm knowing someone was there with me. "Pleas-" "Shh... i-it's ok I won't leave you we're are going to be with each other for now, we're family." The calm voice replied.

As they came closer it was, Emilia. "H-how long was I a-asleep?" I questioned "About two days, you must be starving." She answered in a soothing, mother-like tone.

Sitting up hoping to see the others, they were gone.... "O-oh yes they left to get some supplies and scout out the new world!" She chimed as she started up a happy hum "New world?" I scoffed.

"Didn't you see s-silly? Since the idiots who were so called leaders had a nuclear war, the world has turned into a wasteland, a dessert!" She exclaimed returning to organizing the supplies we had, along with the monotonous hum.

As I grabbed a gas mask and rifle (which I kinda know how to use) I started heading towards the hatch "I wouldn't do that if I were you," She warned "Jess's rule is to
always stay behind to watch over the other, and the kid." Sighing in relief as they never took the kid.

As I came back down from the rusty ladder, I caught fin in the corner of my eye as he was asleep. All snuggled up in the large blanket the three used to huddle up in.
