Paradise

its a hard life

Readers P.O.V
Me and max have been walking for hours now and we have reached the town centre trucks and cars layed scattered about some with bodies sticking out of the windows I looked around making sure no one was there before looking forward again. In the distance I saw a petrol station "come on max" we began walking in the direction slowly taking our time as to not wear ourselves out in case of emergency. As we came closer max growled I looked in his direction and he was staring at a house "max search" he looked at me before running to the house and jumping through the broken window I soon followed and carefully climbed through as to not cut myself. Blood attracts the sick ones. The house looked quite modern with a few things broken like pictures and vases. Glass cracked under my foot and I looked down seeing a photo
I carefully picked it up and looked at it. It was a picture of a young girl with blonde hair and green eyes with a woman that looked just like her must of been her mother. I suddenly jumped when I heard shuffling a flash of blonde was caught in my sight so I followed it to the kitchen I grabbed my pistol so I was ready and turned the corner only to see max eating some dog food while a woman and a girl with blonde hair sat on the floor I slowly lowed my gun and the woman turned to me with glossed over eyes when a single tear ran down her cheek. "Please don't hurt us we just wanted to help the dog he looked hungry" I smiled slightly at them "thank you he needed some food" the little girl glanced at me and approached me she played with my hair while I laghed slightly "your pretty" her voice cracked slightly as she spoke "I'm not as pretty as you" I smiled and poked her stomach and she giggled I looked at the woman who was smiling happily "my name is Y/N" the woman smiled more then responded "my name is Samantha and that's ny daughter Sally" "they are very pretty names" Sally smiled bigger then Sam spoke again "would you like some food?" "Yes please thank you" I sat at the table with Samantha and Sally and I ate some beans with bread and a drink of water.  "So why are you still here" Sam hand began to shake a bit "well we couldn't get the car to work because I don't know mechanics and I can't fire a gun either so I decided to stay here with my daughter" I nodded and chucked a bit of bread to max "well I know mechanics I could get your car running" Sam looked up from her food with a shocked face. "We know a place that is surrounded by a wall they say they will take in survivers and the uninfected if you could get the car running all of us could go together" to me that sounded like a plan except I was infected so they wouldn't let me in but they would let them in. If they won't let max in then I'm not helping. What would be the point I only care about max." Will they let max in?" "Of course they will" I smiled to myself "okay where's the car then" I followed them to the drive where a small Black car sat it looked to be in good condition so I started my work I lifted the bonnet of the car and began to work on it after about 30 mins I was done. "Hey guys I'm done" I walked back into the house where Samantha and Sally were waiting with some of their belongings "the car is ready" I grabbed my pistol off the table and walked out the door with both females and max. I got in the drivers seat and max sat next to me while Samantha and Sally sat in the back seats. "You guys ready?" They nodded and I turned the ignition and the car came to life. I pulled out the driveway and began driving the drive was quiet and the road was quiet to. No one was to be seen except for the bodies scattered amongst the ruble and ash. The ride was quite peaceful, we slowly pulled to a stop I checked the tank to find it empty "shit" I looked around to see if a petrol station was anywhere to be found but sadly I couldn't spot one I turned around to face Samantha "is there a petrol station around here?" She looked to be in deep thought before she answered "yeah there is at the end of that street" she pointed to the left. I grabbed my pistol off the dashboard and checked how many bullets were left. Lucky for me it was pretty much fully loaded. "Right me and max are going to get some fuel you and Sally stay here" they nodded and I got out of the car "come on max" max jumped out of the car and I shut the door then locked it leaving Samantha and Sally there. I began walking again down the street trying to be as quiet as possible since we were at the edge of the city there was bound to be someone lurking around and they are probably infected. I never really explained what happened I remember telling the story to max it started when the world was good and happy when people where alive and happy but some scientists believed they had found the cure to cancer so they got a test subject but things began to happen to them. First a voice appeared in their head telling them things, then they began to spit out blood and be in agonizing pain after that they hallucinated began seeing things, then they became cold and they started to slowly freeze then after that they would ever die or become crazed and angry either way they would eventually die. But it wasn't a disease you could catch till one scientist believed if it was worked on more it would work after he was certain he had got it right he released it making everyone sick but the disease spread and most pf the population was wiped put it was a world wide pandemic and here we are now. Me and max had finally reached the petrol station so we got to work we found a bucket typed thing and started filling it up. We carried it back to the car but Samantha and Sally were gone the back windows were smashed and they were gone there was also blood on the glass "shit shit shit! Sam! Sally! Oh fuck!" I kicked the car in frustration then put the bucket down throwing my arms up in the air. "Max track" max went up and started sniffing around I began to loose hope before he barked and ran off down the street with me hot on his tail we came to an abandoned shack so I carefully creeped up to the window I peered in and saw Sally cuddled up in a corner with tears poring from her eyes. I looked around inside and saw a man laid on a bed with Samantha sat next to him with bandages ' kill them'  "no shut up" I wispered to myself then looked at max "we're going in" I stood up then burst the door open aiming my gun at the man Samantha ran behind me and Sally ran to my side grabbing max's fur in fear the man laughed and sat up "so who are you cutie pie" I growled in frustration "the question is who the fuck are you?" He chuckled again "my name is Jack" "well 'Jack' what the fuck are you doing? " "wow language cutie" he was really annoying me now "just answer me" I growled at him I hate people like him "I needed help I'm sick so I got your friend here to patch me up" I cocked my gun abd aimed it at his forehead "well if your sick I have no choice" he chuckled lowly then stood up pushing his head against the barrel of the gun "go ahead shoot me you don't have the guts" after that my finger fell to the trigger ' do it'  that god damn voice I can't take it anymore I screamed then pulled the trigger. I looked at the now dead man infront of me I was breathing heavily I then felt a hand on my shoulder I turned slightly to see Samantha "lets go" is all I said then walked out they stood for a second before I said "max come on, if you two are coming hurry up" max came to my side and we began walking to the xar I soon heard running behind us soon we reached the car and I filled it up I then jumped in with the others and we set of down the motorway.
