Caroline's POV.
As I start my way into my beloved town, I noticed how much brush and kudzu had taken over than the last time I came here. Trying not to trip over the thick vines, I made my way into what use to be a nice neighborhood, that is now burn into nothing but ash.

Flash back
I was seven when are neighborhood/ group camp was up and running. We were all survivors while the aliens were about to form even more hunting parties. It was a chilly Sunday morning in October, me and some other children were play tag. All of a sudden the bells went off, alerting us that the others (aliens) were coming into our camp. I started to sprint towards my family's house to find momma and papa.

I rushed in to find papa packing his and momma's stuff while my mom had my back back clutched in her hands. "Momma! What are you doing?" I asked frantically, trying to understand what was happening. "Honey", momma said soothingly as she bent down to give me my back pack. "We're going to travel some, were not safe here anymore." She said calmly. "Come on." She picked me up into her arms and made a mad dash to the woods with my papa behind her.

After we traveled we made it to the cliff that over looks the town. I looked to see the my beloved town being searched for any surviving humans. I hear a lot of painful screams and looked into the area of our neighborhood being burn to the ground. I started to sob into my momma's neck as she whispers comforting words into my ears.
End of flash back

While thinking about those traumatic memories, I hadn't noticed I was crying. I Roughly wiping my face to redden my tears of sorrow for this use to be wonderful neighborhood. "Get ahold of your self woman, no amount of tears are helping now." I tell myself in a irritated voice. I start to push myself forward deeper into Jackson, making sure to check my surroundings.

After ram sacking five houses I found a couple cans of vegetables, a butcher knife, matches, and a pair of rough, black leather combat boots that looked a little used, but not much. I sit on the stairs of and old, rundown house, and ran my hand through my knotted up, light brown hair, planing on what I should do next. Should I stay the night here? Or should I run back into the woods? I started to question myself.
*BOOM*

My eyes widening at the sound that was going off. Gun shots! My mind started to panic, going haywire. I grab my back and jump up off the steps and make a mad dash for the woods.
*Boom*
*Boom*
My heart raced when the sound of more than one gun going off. Still running for my life I just made it to the woods. 'I saved myself in the ni-'
*BOOM*
All of a sudden I got a burning sensation on the left side of my torso. I screamed in pain as I fell onto the ground. Looking to see what happened I saw I was shot. Not just any shot, I had an electric bullet in me. Only one person could have those, the others. I started to drag myself into a near by bush for protection. I heard another gun shot go off.

After a few minutes I heard nothing. Suddenly I had black dots in my vision, knowing this was the end I started to close my eyes slowly. Before I closed them completely someone pushed the bushes back, I looked up to see a man dressed in all black. He said something but I couldn't hear him. I finally closed my eyes completely as I felt myself being lifted and lost my consciousness.
