I wake up suddenly, I look around me. The whole city, its burned to the ground, wait a second why am I even alive? Wasn't I infected and stabbed with a knife? I am so confused, I can't explain myself what is going on. I stand up quickly looking for Thomas, oh yes THOMAS! I try to shout his name but it just doesn't want to come out, nothing won't come out of my mouth! Come on gosh dammit! COME ON! I start to get angry at myself for not being avaible to yell.

I look down to my chest, the knife is still stuck in my chest, I grab the handle and pull it out violently. "Argh!", I finally exclaim my pain. Did I just hear my own voice? I inhale deeply. "THOMAS! MINHO!", I started yelling their names. "ANYONE HERE?", I kept yelling, hoping someone will find me. No answer, literally nothing. I am just hearing the sounds of the flames that ate up the city. I gotta find an exit right now, before the flames eat me up. 'Come on Newt run! Move your god damn legs!', I think to myself. Dammit my damn legs are giving up on me, how long was I laying here! I can't remember much of what happened, only of the knife fight.

I tried to run again and it finally worked, my legs started running, running as far as they could. I ran through the hot flames that surrounded the city, dead people were everywhere! This was a very big war, we really destroyed WCKED and the whole city. As I ran, I stumble on something that made me fall almost. I retrieved my balance and looked behind me. Teresa... It was Teresa, laying there, lifeless. I couldn't do much but move on, I started running again, did someone heal me? How did I survive. I have so many questions right now.

As I ran, I spotted a huge hole in the city wall. "Finally an exit", I exhaled talking to myself. I look around me, where is everyone! Dead people is just what I see, everywhere, there is no one alive. I took some pistoles I found on the ground and the knife I got stabbed with. Good, now I am well equipped. I check if the pistol is full with ammunition but to my disappointment it was empty. "Dammit!", I shout out and throw the pistol on the ground.

I still can't understand how I am alive, what could have happened! I was brainstorming so much while walking, not paying attention where I was going. The next second I felt heavy pain on my head. Yes I bumped into a bus and fell on the ground. Dammit Newt, watch where you going. I stand up again and see that the bus  seemed like it was still working.

I enter the bus, as I enter I could just smell something strange in there, it was stinking. I covered my nose with my shirt, trying not to inhale  whatever it is. I look inside the bus to find the odor. I went on the back of the bus and find a freaking corpse. I jump back when seeing it laying there.

The corpse looked completely demolished, showing all of its broken bones and the rotting flesh. I almost had to puke, but I tried to hold onto myself. I grabbed the corpse by its dead arms and tried to pull it out if the bus. As I tried to pull it out, it's arms just ripped from the body and launched me outside the bus. I screamed at top of my lungs as I was literally flying outside the bus, hitting the ground with my butt.

I grunt angerly at what happened and threw the arms away. I stand up and re-enter the bus again trying to remove the stinking rotten corpse.

I put the corpse over my shoulder trying not yo inhale its rotten odor and walk outside the bus, throwing the corpse on the ground. I started breathing heavily. "Damn, you are quite heavy my friend, I am sorry to have disturbed your peace, now you my rest here", I started literally talking to myself and kinda to the corpse, I don't even know why I did that.

I went inside again and went to the cockpit of the bus. I really hope this whole workout will payout now! I found the key inside the keyhole, where I could start the machine, I put my fingers on that nice silver key about to turn it. I close my eyes, hoping the bus will start up.

I turn the key and I could hear the bus start up. I smile with complete happiness that the bus started up. "Hallelujah!", I yelled out and pushed the gas pedal, driving towards the hideout.

Driving till there wasn't really hard, there were no Cranks, it was really relaxing. When I arrived at the hideout, I burst in hoping to find a living person. There was no one, literally no one. "THOMAS!? MINHO!?", I yelled hoping they are here. There was no response at all, everything was quite.

I approached the huge table where plans were always made and found a letter. I picked it up, this is Thomas who wrote this. I grab the lette tight as I started reading. "Dear Newt, if you happen to survive, if there is some God or miracle, we are long gone with a ship to an island. I really hope you can find a way to get to us, I really miss you, you my dearest friend and I was really sad what happened to you during our fight. I really wish to see you again Newt, if there is some miracle, please find a way to get to us, we are waiting. Your dearest friend Thomas".

I was reading the letter almost tearing up, tears were running down my cheeks, I missed him Thomas too and Minho too. I really must find a way to get to that island. Let my adventure start here...
