Dylan and I land inside the old church to be greeted with a wide assortment of weapons and I mean guns, machetes, grenades all lined up on the wall along with several bunk beds, however the one thing that shocked me the most is that there were people. Teens. About five of them, all staring straight at me causing me to shift nervously from one foot to the other.
"Umm, Dyl.. Who is this?" A blonde boy about my height asks, eyeing me
The other teens look at me as if I am some sort of alien.
"This is Sophia. I found her in the 6th sector and she is looking for her friends. We are going to help her." Dylan says turning back to me and smiles
I give a small wave and a young boy around 9 with shaggy brown hair runs up to me and gives my legs a hug, causing me to laugh.
"Don't worry! We will help you get your friends back!" he says enthusiastically
"Hi! What's your name?" I ask the young boy
"I'm Finn!" He says jumping up and down as I laugh
Dylan chuckles and grabs the younger boy and moves him over
"Sorry about Finn, he's my younger brother and he is very friendly" He says looking at Finn. "This is Davina, Elena, Toby, Jackson and Cole."
Davina had long blonde hair and striking blue eyes wearing tattered jeans and a navy top, Elena had brown hair and green eyes like mine but glared daggers at me making me look away, Toby and Jackson both had black hair and pale skin with same brown eyes and Cole had brown hair with brown eyes. They all smiled except Elena.
What's her problem?
"Can you all give us a minuet?" Dylan asks
They all nod and start walking down the wooden stairs.
"You can stay here for however long we have a ton of room" he says kindly
"Thanks Dylan. But can we try to find my friends first? I'm really worried." I look down at my feet
"Yea definitely, let me grab a map quick" he walks over to a chest and pulls out a map.
He unrolls the map and grabs a pen from a jar and places the map on the table,
"Ok so you were here and when you woke up they were gone?" He asked circling the spot we all fell asleep in.
"Yea and they just vanished" I yawned
"Sophia.. take one of the beds I promise I will wake you up in the morning as soon as the sun rises"
I sigh, exhaustion flooding over me "Please wake me as soon as the suns up." As I walk over to a empty bed I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
------------- TIME SKIP TO DAY ---------
I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder.
"Sophia. You need to get up the suns up." A voice says
"You need to fuck off." I mumble
I snort is the only response I get
"Sophia, your friends we know where they are." The voice says
I jolt upright and look around and see the face of the guy Dylan who saved me yesterday
"We have to go!" I jump out of bed and put on my shoes and a jumper "where are they?" I ask nervously
"There are a bunch of caves to the right of the clearing you all were staying at, so I'm willing to bet that they are there." Dylan says
We grab some flashlights and I grab a long knife while Dylan grabs a gun and two short daggers.
"Ready?" He asks looking at me, I nod "ok let's go" he opens the hatch we came through last night and hops onto the ledge, I follow him trying not to look down as we descend to the roof of the lower buildings.
We walk across the roofs being careful not to slip due to the morning dew. After reaching the forest we jump down to the forest and Dylan pulls out his gun and I pull out my knife as we enter.
After walking for a while we find the clearing and look around for any footprints to no such luck.
As we enter we turn on our flashlights and walk into the caves until we hear shuffling behind us, we turn around sharply to see the Nappa behind. Dylan gives me behind him and throws one of his knives directly at its head with deadly accuracy.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side." I joke
He laughs
We continue walking for another half hour until I stop walking and being to tear up.
"Hey come on let's keep movi-" Dylan sees the tears now running down my face and engulfs me in a hug, "hey.. don't worry I promise you we will find them ok" I nod into his shoulder. He grabs my hand and we keep walking until we hear people talking.
"Hayley? Aaron?" I call out
"Soph?" A voice answers as Hayley and Aaron run out of the darkness towards me and I hug both of them.
"Who is this Soph?" Hayley asks looking at Dylan while Aaron glared at him. "Guys this is Dylan, I wouldn't have found you without him and he has offered us to stay with him" I say to them
Hayley nods and Aaron doesn't say anything.
----- BACK AT THE CHURCH ---------
When we got back Hayley immediately hit it off with the rest of the teens, she's a social butterfly, while Aaron stood in the corner not really talking to anyone.
I wanted to be alone so I went through the hatch and scaled the church up to the roof and sat down and took a look at town. I remember what it was like back then before it all started. Everyone was happy? People didn't have a care in the world, not knowing what was about to happen. That day I was 15 I was down the street at the park and people were walking their dogs, then suddenly lighting strikes everywhere. Fires broke out and then heavy rainfall. People were screaming and trying to run for safety but you couldn't escape the fire and then the floods. How did I? I climbed one of the telephone poles and clung there for hours. All the people screaming-
A loud bang brought me out of my trance as I saw a ton of Nappas, charging towards a house when a bunch of teens in all black ran out with guns and knives stabbing them all until there were none left. One of them say me and started to yell at me and I froze. Someone was calling my name but my ears were ringing.
"SOPH! We gotta hide quick" Dylan grabbed my hand and dragged me to the hatch and ran into a small room barely fitting us in.
"Dylan what's happening? Where is everyone."
"Shh trust me you have to be quiet or they will find you"
Stomping and yelling could be heard from outside the church doors trying to get in.
"Nappas?" I asked Dylan, as he starts bolting the small wooden door shut,
"No. People, like us." He replied hesitantly
"What are they doing? Are the bloody idiots trying to get us killed?"
"To be honest with you yes they are Soph." He said as he looked at me
"What why? Are they insane? Have they been infected?" I ask
He takes a deep breath and replies...
