The Rise of the Shadows

Chapter 8

"So whats our next order of action or are we just gonna wait out the infection here" said Tim petting sparky and giving him treats. "We need to scavenge for supplies cause we are low on food and water so we need to have two scavenger teams one to head into the forest to find either some edible berries or a river with clean water and another to head into the city to find food or water". I said "I will do the forest search by my self as I know which berries are edible and which are not" "are you sure about this Evan we have no idea whats in that forest there could be shadows in there" said Lauren " I will be fine in the mean time we should get the beds and tents up and start a fire too so we can cook what food we have left". "Me, Lilly, and Felicity can do the city search" said John "Alright we have our jobs lets get moving" I said as I went into the forest. The forest was a nice big area the forest had a lush green out look even during this bleak time it felt nice being in this forest. "I wonder if John and the rest will find food at the city" I thought to myself "He probably won't and you know it" said a mysterious voice "Who said that" I said out loud "You should know who I am you made me Professor Evan Macorov" said the voice again "You can't be who I think you are its impossible they can't talk" I said "They can't but I can and I want to thank you for creating me I can be friends with anyone I want and I would like to repay the favor" the mysterious voice said "What are you gonna do to me Joe I am sorry for creating you like this we were just trying to save the world ok" I said in a panic " I love being this form and my name was never Joe it was Nemo and now heres my gift to you" said Nemo. I turned around and saw Nemo Lunge towards me I couldn't stay awake I couldn't keep my strength I think I might..... not...... make...... it......

I woke up about 3 hours later " I guess it was all just a dream " I thought to myself as I grabbed the edible berries and 2 canteens of water. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE BEEN SO WORRIED DADDY" screamed Mikayla in tears "I thought I lost you to the spoopies daddy" she hugged me "I am fine I just dosed off and had a strange dream but I will be fine" "Dream? what kind of dream?" said Lauren "Oh just some random stuff about food and other drinks just missing old life I guess" I lied to make them feel safe. "Well did you find any water cause we found food Evan" said Lilly carrying Felicity "What happened!" I asked "She just fell asleep in the truck and Lilly is  putting her in the tent so she can sleep" said John "well I found some Berries and and a river with clean water so we are set on water." I said "Well lets get dinner started I am hungry daddy" said Mikayla with her tongue sticking out "isn't that right Teddy Weddy" she then talked for her bear "alright lets get dinner ready" i said. "What a strange dream I had could it mean something though or it is just my mind" I questioned myself in my thoughts. "daddy are you ok?" said Mikayla "Oh sorry I just thought of something " I said. then out of the tent I heard a scream from Felicity "NEMO" and at that point I knew that was no dream I dashed to the tent but I was to late Felicity had died from unknown causes "I don't know what happened she screamed nemo and then she shriveled up like a grape in the sun" said Jacob "daddy who is nemo?" said Mikayla "is it the fish Nemo?" "I honestly don't know but we need to be careful " I lied to hide the secret that Nemo might have tainted me.
