lost in the dark

Chapter 4: The island

NANA!, i yelled as i ran over to ceck her pusle.
She wasn't dead but her pulse was weak. She was 75 so not that old.
But with all the stress from this month.. losing grandpa, thinking i was dead, leaving her old life behind her.
Just as we, just as everyone else on the entire planet.
After a few minutes grandma just stood up, acting like nothing happened. Oh hey sweety is school out already?
I looked at my parents and they looked back at me, their eyes telling me to shut up and play along.
Uhh.. yeah we could leave an hour earlyer because our teacher wasn't feeling well.
And what about that boy, she asked.
What?, i asked.
That boy from school, thomas, she added.
Oh nothing he's just a friend, i said.
I think i'm gonna' to go bed, Nana said.
Goodnight.

As soon as she was sleeping i walked outside and pounded my fist on the giant concrete wall surrounding this town, city.
Denny walked outside and saw me punching the large wall.
She put her hand on my shoulder.
I turned around looking into her eyes and i couldn't help it put suddenly tears began to flow. It's ok to show your feelings, not only to yourself but also to other people, Denny said.
Thank you.
All of the sudden an explosion rose from the ground and me and Denny were thrown against the wall.
As we woke up smoke erupted from the place where the explosion was.
What happened?, Denny asked.
An explosion, i said.
I had a gash on my head that was bleeding pretty hard.
My parents ran outside and were in shock.
Dark spots blocked my vision.
I was loosing blood and fast.
I stood up helping denny.
She wasn't feeling any better than i did.
We stumbled back inside and we dropped ourself as soon as we almost sat on the sofa.
Scott came running in, i've never seen him so terrefied.
Denny fainted next to me.
Her pulse was weak, just as mine.
I tried to fight the darkness that overwhelmed me but i couldn't.
I closed my eyes and drifted off.

I opened my eyes, staring at a white ceiling.
I heard a machine making beeping noises. I sat up, everything began spinning. I looked around, i'm in a hospital.
I looked next to me and i saw Denny lying there. A ton of pressure fell of my shoulders.
I stumbled over to her.
She opened her eyes and smiled.
Haily how did we get here.
We fainted and my parents probably brought us here.
Another explosion cut trought the air.
The hairs on my neck stood up as a cold chill cut straight trought me.
Are you feeling better?, i asked.
Yeah, Denny answered.
Can you walk?, i asked
Yeah i can, she said
Then fucking walk!, i yelled.
She put on her clothes as i did.
We walked out of the room and stood in a large white hallway.
We walked fast to the intersection.
The corridors all looked the same and abandoned.
We looked for a way out.
After a while we found an EXIT sign.
We ran out only too see the city burning in flames. Bodies were scatered across the roads and pools of blood surrounded them.
I gasped for air.
We didnt know where we were cus we only been at my parents house.
Denny gave me a reashuring squeeze in my hand and we both took a deep breath and moved on.
I saw a red truck and ran towards it, Denny following every move i made.
I opened the door, the keys were still in the ignition.
My hart jumped with happiness for a second.
I'll drive so you can rest a little more, i said.
I looked at my reflection in the glass and saw that my wound was stitched.
Denny fel asleep for a minute as i drove around the city for my parents house. I knew my brother was safe because he left an hour or two after i arrived for a task with his crew on the helicopter.
After an hour i found the main gate so i tried to remember where i went after arriving.
I drove left, left again and then straight ahead. I saw that the wooden house of my parents was still intact.
I woke up Denny and ran inside.
It looked abandoned.
I wanted to scream but it was stuck in my troath.
Denny walked closer and pulled me into a hug.
I wasn't the only one who is looking for my family.
Denny has her husband and a child.
I didn' t want to let go and neither did Denny.
Tears rolled over my cheeks.
I walked into my grandma's room only to find her dead.
I let out a scream mixed with tears.
Her eyes popped open and her mouth clicked with every moan she made.
I let out a longer and even louder scream. She slowly stood up and stumbled over to me.
Something inside of me wanted to just stand there and let me get eaten.
But the other part of me wanted to keep fighting until my last breath.
I still needed to find mom, dad, Scott and Jullie.
I looked around for anything to protect me.
Then i remembered the knife in my boot. I pulled it out and threw it right between her white dead eyes.
She stood still for a few seconds and then fell  backwards with dark blood oozing from her headwound.
I fel into Denny's arms wheeping.
More explosions cut trought the air.
I just should've stayed in my home a month ago.
Then i just would've died like most of mankind.
We took our stuff and the stuff of everyone else.
We walked back to our truck only to see my parents stumbeling  over to us, i swallowed hard and walked over.
I took an axe i found in the house and slached my dads head open as he dropped to the ground spraying blood everywhere. Then my mom, the axe cut clean trought her head as blood gushed out.
Blood sprayed on my clothes and face.
I let out a loud wheeping warcry.
As i collapsed on my knees i started to shout and scream as blood dripped of my face. I started to hit my fists on the dirt and grass.
I saw a helicopter fly over. It started hovering above us.
A rope dropped down and five men dropped down from the rope.
Chris...
