Two years later, after the random and disturbing attack from our loved ones, once friendly now deadly neighbors, and strangers who were once nothing are now one of the grotesque walkers or having to watch our loved ones get gobbled up by the walking-flesh-hungry corpses.

"HAH! Kudos to our oh so beloved hero, John! The hero who left Cassy and Daniel behind to escape those... horrid monsters..." Elena says with full of sarcastic-lackadaisical energy.
"I thought it was just... mandatory... we were fighting them off, Elly! You can't blame me for trying to get those... dead things off them! It's not my fault, I tried to get to them as fast as I could... but the lurkers got to them..." Johnathon says, his voice shaky and his eyes sparkling with blocked up-eager tears.
"You cannot blame me for what those things did to my brother! You cannot blame me for what those things did to Castella!... I am not at fault here! I shouldn't---!" Johnathon's voice starts to break, tears finally not trapped and now trailing down his cheeks," I looked up to him ya'know... and it's been what? Two years and the dead are still coming... and the dead got to my brother and Cassy... now all I can do is remember him as a legacy... and you! Elena... You're treating me as if I'm a liability... I know you lost your sister but don't blame me! Blame the person who created that dumb virus!" Johnathon's hands were shaking now, him feeling anger, sadness, and guilt.
Elena, now wide-eyed and filled with regret," I... I'm sorry for lashing out..." she stutters out.
Now the two were silent, both not speaking another word but tears and quiet whimpers filling the void.
Anthony barges into the room, he stops in the middle of the doorway then whistles," Wow it's like there's a monstrous mammoth in the room..." Anthony chuckles nervously as he walks in, his bat in hand," Okay guys, I know having Danny and Castella gone is unbearable... but we're about to have a bit more of a malice problem here in a few hours... there's a whole herd of them coming!"
Both Johnathon and Elena groan as they quickly wipe their cheeks dry, both heading into different rooms to get the things they needed.
" I wish this was all a dream... like I would understand if it was a lucid dream or whatever but GOD!... I wish God was doing his job..." Elena sighs as she meets up with Johnathon in the middle of the hallway.
Johnathon scoffs," God left us and the devil took over the world, remember?" Johnathon says with sarcasm as he rolls his eyes.
Anthony sighs," He could have left something lucrative... Anything but the death of our... family... friends... and many other people who never deserved this type of hell..." Anthony says as he gets all of the supplies they needed from the kitchen," I'm gonna put these in the truck guys... once we're safe we can go raid the nearest gas station... now hurry up! We can't let those things get to us, we have half an hour left so giddy-up!" he says half-jokingly as he claps his hands in the air before leaving to get more supplies.
They all hurry and get their things all packed; weapons, clothes, shoes, and food. They all finally scurry into the truck and close the doors.
"Yo, guys. I know we are in an apocalypse and all but please, for the love of God, put your seatbelts on." Anthony begs to Elena and Johnathon as they sit in the back.
The two groan and click their seatbelts in place.
"Ahah thanks, guys. Now," Anthony lets out a sigh as he starts the engine," now let's find a new home..." Anthony mutters under his breath as he drives down the driveway and speeds out into the empty streets.

"You know... I wish we could go back in time... living the lush life with power... and working toilets and showers... heck even ac was a thing four years ago..." Elena says as she fans herself with her hand," How long to the next exit that's maybe infested with three or two dumb dead lurkers?" she asks, annoyed.
"Maybe never..." Johnathon says as he lets out an exasperated breath.
"It would be really cool if you would just turn on the ac Anthony!" he says as his sweaty face meets his sweaty palms," I dunno how much longer I can take this..." Johnathon whines.
" Just wait out a few more hours guys. We're almost at our expected destination... now all we need is our weapons ready to go as we find an auto shack that's possibly open before the outbreak..." Anthony says as he drives up the exiting ramp," we're still out in the middle of nowhere-well not nowhere but literally, there's nothing else... out here..." Anthony's voice goes quiet as his eyes wander somewhere else, distracted as he slows the truck.
"What? What is it, Anthony?" Elena asks as her eyes wonder the same direction until her head quickly stops, her lips letting out a small gasp.
"Guys, we are literally almost close to Fry's and it's literally just a few miles away why can't we-" Johnathon rolls his eyes before he finally sees what his two friends were looking at.
"Okay I want to be wrong... but is that a huge pile of the dead?" Johnathon asks, very aware that he's definitely not hallucinating from the heat.
"I remember when litigations were a thing..." Elena says as her eyes are still on the horrific sight," I must've used that word wrong but... how do you say it?... M-maw- "
Anthony interrupts her," Malapropism," he says blankly as he whips his head and steps on the accelerator," Yeah this is disgusting, we're almost there any way we don't need any more distractions."
Anthony's eyes scan the streets to make sure those lurkers don't seem like they'll pop out of nowhere. The two curious teen's eyes wonder the sights of the streets and the empty sidewalks again. Elena props her chin with her hand as her elbow rests onto the truck's window pane, her eyes now on the clouds above her.
She sighs until her eyes widen, "OH my God..." She snorts as the two boys are startled to the sudden laughter coming from small Elena's lips," remember when those stupid Nazi signs were like some sort of libel..." she chuckles as the boys join into her small laughter party.
" Now we don't have to worry about those monsters either," Anthony chuckles out.
Johnathon turns silent again," At least they are the least of our problems now... heh..."
