Today is worse than yesterday. Matter of fact we don't know what day, time or even what month it is. All we know is that we have to work together to stay alive. There is only five of us alive for what we know of. Jude, Andi, two people who knew my dad and worked at armory, and I. It's hard to know when we are all alone. Anyway, today Bob and Jerry are going on a supply run and I have to go wake up Jude and Andi.

"Jude wake up and get dressed," I yelled.

"Hey sweet baby girl. Lets get up and get dressed. I found you a ladybug dress in the storage room. Its gonna make you look even cutier," I said as I started to get her dressed. "Alright your dressed lets go see what your brothers up to," I said softly.

"Hey Jude, you up," I asked again.

"Yea, I'm up, I got my sheriff outfit on," he said happily.

There are walkers everywhere outside so I have to go put Andi and Jude in a door and lock it. We ended up killing over thirty. After we killed them we went to check on Jude and Andi. My dad gave him a pistol when he was eight. I thought it was pretty damn stupid to give a eight year old a pistol. But now I see why, so he can protect himself. So my brother always has his pistol. Dad also taught him him how to use a 22, a knife, and 20 muzzleloader. Sooner or later Bob or Jerry will have to teach him to kill the walkers.

Usually if there is only one we stick a knife threw its head so it doesnt attract any more . Gunshots attract them more of them.The only way we can kill them is a shot or knife to the brain. The only thing that keeps them alive is a small part of there brain. Before all this happened I was a book reader and internet searcher. I reasearched everything I could. I had no clue what I was going to do about this. It took me a while to get used to it but I had to. Bob and Jerry taught me everthing about the walkers. I say i'm lucky to even be alive. They took us in. Im glad I still have my siblings with me.

Bob, Jerry, and I are all the same ages 16. Sometimes when we go out for supply runs we get surrounded so we form a circle with our backs to each other. And we fight till we can not fight anymore. Jude always protects Andi. He does not let anything or anyone besides me and the other two near her. She is the most important thing to all of us.

Its night now and I usually don't sleep unless the others are up. I heard a loud noise down stairs and I'm not really sure that I want to go down or not but of course i'm going to. So I am getting up to go check and see who or what it is. As I reach closer. The noise comes from a room we didnt use ever it was empty. So what could possibly be in there. Im going to wake them up Bob and Jerry to see what it is.

"Bob and Jerry," I said in a whisper entering their room.

"Whats wrong Mariana," they both asked quietly.

"There is someone in the room that empty in the hall and i'm not sure who it is. Or what it is will you check it out," I said in a soft whisper as we left the room.

" DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR," Jerry yelled.

By this point Andi and Jude are awake and Jude walks out to see whats going on.

"Last time put your weapons down and come out NOW or ill have to shoot," Jerry shouted angrily.

"O-o-okay... please dont shoot," said a soft voice. I think it was a girl.

"I will not shoot just come on out," Jerry calmly said.

"Ok. I have two babys and my brother and we are looking for shelter and we got lost so we came in here. It gets scary out there after dark," she said quickly.
