Survival

Chaoter 6

Ambers POV
I could here the zombies outside my window. They were to loud and seemed close. I got up out of bed and walked to Jacks room.

I knocked on his door hoping he wouldn't mind. Jack came to the door, he opened it surprised.

"Amber, is everything alright?" Jack asked.

" I can't sleep." I told him.

"Come in you can take my room, I'll take yours." Jack offered.

"You can stay." I blurted out fast.

"Are you sure?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, but it's cool if you don't wanna." I told him embarrassed.

"I'll set a bed up on the ground for me." he said.

Jack walked back in the room with a bed and some blankets. He set them up on the ground and layed down. He didn't seem to really care about me staying here the night.

During the night I had a nightmare.

I could see my parents and my sister. They just lied there helpless. Those creatures from hell were on them, they ate them limb by limb. I could make out there lips move. They were whispering my name over and over.

Jack woke me up fast. Once I woke I grabbed him and hugged him tight. I was crying hard.

"Amber, what happened!" Jack asked terrified.

"I watched my family die." I sobbed.

"You were screaming it scared me!" Jack said.

Beth, Taylor, Sara and Ethan ran into the room. They stared at us while Jack held me. I could see the fright in there eyes. They geld guns in there hands.

"Amber, Jack!" Beth screamed "Are you alright."

"Sorry to wake you guys, Amber just had a nightmare." Jack told them.

"Amber?" Sara said terrified. " Are you gonna be alright?"

I nodded.

" You guys get some sleep." Ethan told us.

They all left but Sara hesitated to leave. Sara looked upset too. She looks like she watched her family die also.

"Sara, you look horrible." I said to her.

"Just a nightmare." she said upset.

"You okay?" I asked

"Yeah, night." Sara said.

"Night."

Jack let go of me when I stopped sobbing. He looked terrified too. I could tell he was scared.

All night long I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about my family. Seeing them made me think about if they were still alive.

In the morning I could smell them cook some bacon and eggs. It smelled delicious. I walked out to the kitchen to see a little fire started outside. What were they doing out there? Didn't the power work?

"Hey look who it is!" Taylor said surprised.

" Yeah, well I never got any sleep." I told him.

"Breakfast is served!" Beth said happily.

"Smells delicious!" Sara exclaimed.

We all took a seat and ate. I was so happy to actually have something to fill me up.

"So, what happened between you and Jack last night?" Ethan asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I swear." I said.

"Well why were you in Jacks room?" Sara asked.

"She couldn't sleep, the zombies were annoying her." Jack said.

Everyone just stared at us. It was uncomfortable with all them staring at us. They acted like there was stuff we weren't telling them about.

"Will you and Jack go on a food run today?" Beth asked me.

"Yeah, I guess I will go." I told her.

They got us ready to go. We started the car and headed on our way.
