The Horde

Chapter 2

                                      Ellie's POV

... beep... beep... beep. That's the noise I heard. Also, I heard my mom and dad sometimes, but their voices were faint. I wanted to tell them I was still here why couldn't they hear me, move a finger an inch, open my eyes but it was like I only imagined them seeing that to let them know I was okay. Come on body. I yelled to myself. I could hear a door open and close, more whispering I wonder what's going on, I'm in the hospital. I  understood the outside was louder than usual, I knew I was no longer in Odessa, but where could I be...

Fast Forward >>>" El you have to hurry, we can't be out here when it gets dark, and it's getting fucking dark" I hear a voice calling. Side vaulting over the counter " shut up H, I need to get Nick's medicine" I yell, silence, then loud growling outside. I push and toss bottles over my shoulder off the shelves and, find what I was looking for " got it" I whisper to myself, gunshots. " come on E, no bloody time no more" H yelling, I slide over the counter, running on top of useless junk and papers.

Anna's POV

" George what are we going to do, if the news says there's this virus don't you think we should move her" I whisper. The white room, dresser across the bed, TV was on above it, talking about the latest fatalities, every single channel was broadcasting about a virus was happening, and it was contagious and to stay away if contacted. Looking away from the tv, my daughter looked small and vulnerable; her skin was pale, her chest rising and falling, her curly hair out on both sides of the pillow, I walked over and pushed the curtains making the room feel bigger than it was. My Husband was quiet until he spoke " what suppose we do Anna, we can't move El" leaning back in the chair with a huff. " Something!" I whisper-yell, clutching my cardigan, I shook my head letting parts of my curly hair fall out in front of my face. A door opening and closes, a nurse shorter than me with dark slicked black hair pulled into a ponytail "Amelia, tell us something good" I spoke. Amelia smiles even though it doesn't meet her eyes." well Mr. and Mrs. Weary not good, hospital packed with people experiencing the same thing, Doctor's busy not for sure if we will have enough supplies" she says. George put his head back, lifting his arms up behind his head, intertwining his fingers together. "do Doctors know what's causing freakout episodes" George says, "no sir, but it's not normal behavior still, or any  kind of episodes seen before" Amelia says, it was quiet until screaming through the hallway. Amelia looks at both " wait here" she says, running out.

It was more than an hour since Amelia left " screw this" George mumbles, getting up from a chair, " George no"I spoke, grabbing his flannel shirt, he was a foot taller than me, he put both of my hands in his and let go. " Stay here, with El," he says, turning towards the door when Amelia comes running up to the door with blood on scrubs " we have to leave" she says, grabbing them. " we can't leave without Ellie,what's happening?" I say, looking towards her daughter. " Ay Dios Mio, Anna we have too they won't get to her" Amelia says, looking behind her " we can put something heavy to block the door" she continued. The growling was around the corner of the hall, " what the hell is that" George curiously asking, Amelia grabs him " Por Favor" she said. George and I both look back at our daughter then at each other, he lightly put his hand on the back of my shoulder, guiding me out of the room, I looked back one last time " we will be right back baby" speaking to Ellie, George holds on to me walking out of the hospital room. Heading towards a nurse's quarters tossing off books from a nearby bookshelf and started to slide towards the room of where Ellie was, Amelia and George were already halfway down the hall. The growling was growing closer and closer, I stood frozen looking at the door, where Ellie was making George turn jogging towards me and lead me away " she is safe from whatever is happening" he whispers, looking up at him and nod swiftly we started to walk to the elevators only earning Amelia to stop us. " Can't do that, we need to take the stairs and don't stop" she says, picking up her pace towards the stairwell.

Bodies everywhere, a massacre "What he-" George says stopping, Amelia turns " don't stop we have to keep going". I froze in horror of all the blood on the walls. "Anna come on," George says looking back. They ran down three flights of stairs; I stop " I'll be... there.. in a ..second" I say out of breath. I felt something pull my legs from under me; I fell a flight a stairs only to be dragged back upstairs, so much pain, my vision got blurry. The lights started to sparkle as if someone was smashing them; it was only darkness now " GEEOOORGGGEE!" I screamed out, I tried to hold onto the door frame, but the pain was getting worse, I tried to fight, but I couldn't get away until finally, i let go, the door slammed with a bang. George looked back up where he left his wife "Anna!" he said, trying to run back upstairs. Amelia grabs him very hard " We can't! Just Run!" she says, she pulls him back and forces him to go.

Amelia kept running with George in front of her," you tell me right now what the hell is going Amelia" he said, stopping in front of her, out of breath, his chest rising and falling fast."I don't know there was a cloud of smoke I knew we had to get out fast." it's not fond of light but comes back" she said, she looks up at him " I'm sorry, we have to go now" she said. He pushing his lip out "I'm supposed to believe this story" he said, she rolls her eyes and turns back to face George. " I don't give a shit what you believe; you're wi-" she started, stopping." you saw nobody near her, did you cause I didn't," she said, his eyes were glaring at her "Fine," he walked past her.
