This is it, the Apocalypse

Chapter 33

Today was the day Tuesday the day the army was supposed to be sent out. We got a few new updates over these past few days telling us were to go what to bring.

Axel limped a little every now and then. Hannah was still acting like a bitch with a stick up her ass. My mom was well a little crazy watching me and Axel like a hawk. Brice was slowly getting up and moving around, it was so much nicer seeing him awake. Everything here was pretty peaceful. We did have another zombie insistence. One was spotted by the woods but was quickly delt with by Mr. Carter who shot the being a few times while out in the field.

I feel like we could fend for our selves here maybe we could survive and we didn't need to go to the camps the army had set along the east coast today. Our camp was stationed about an hour away by car. The radio had gone threw a list of camps two days ago and that was the closest.

What if we didn't go? Maybe it is right thing to do. For our family.

The adults decided we would go and check things out. We were to pack a light bag and weapons to defend ourselves. I was packed up along with most of the others. I just sat on the floor against my bed not facing the door but a wall. I stare blankly at it just left to my thoughts.

" Hey babe " Axel says plopping next to me on the floor.

" Hi " I say quietly and a sad ring to it as I rest my head on his shoulder.

" Cheer up I'm sure everything will be fine " he says rubbing my leg.

" How do you know? " I say flatly.

" I just have hope " he says kissing me on the top of my head.

I can't help bit smile. He was the light in this dark work. And I felt unbelievable around him. Strong, happy, bright, and love. All these feelings that one person gave me.

" Come on let's get some food before we leave " he says slowly moving up. He gets to his feet and extends a hand to me I take it and pull up off of him.

We walk together to the kitchen grabbing a quick bite. I see the occasional person run by looking for stuff to finish off there bags.

" You ready! " my mom shouts throughout the house.

" Yeah " was scattered throughout the hall as the kids come out of there rooms with there bags on there backs.

" Let's go get our stuff " I say grabbing Axels hand leading him to out room.

I slide in to my boots throw on a sweatshirt and put Axels jacket on top of that. My bag goes on my back as I look to Axel.

" Ready! " I say exhaling looking in too his deep blue eyes.

He's wearing jeans and a hoodie with one strap of his bag slung over his shoulder.

" Yep " he says giving a bright smile.

I lift my gun off the dresser and shove it into the back of my pants covering it with the jacket.

We walk out to see everyone in the living room. Bags packed and ready to go.

" Come on let's head out " my grandma says opening the door as everyone piles out.

There were three rides the truck, the mega truck and, the Carter's van.

My mom drove my dad's truck with me, Axel, and Sky . My grandma drove the mega truck with Brice, Willow, Dametre, Isaac, Sam, and Jake. An the Carter's all rode in there van.

As we all started our cars and headed down the drive way I looked back to the house and almost felt as if tears would fall from my face. We were saying good bye to this safe place and venturing out to some camp.

I sat in the back with Axel while Sky sat in the passenger seat. I looked at my family in this car it was my family and I loved them more than anything. I smiled and grabbed the hand of Axel and stared out the window as we left our home.

We were running on empty we new we were going to have to stop eventually.

' Spr Spr' the engines sputters as we come to a stop.

" Damn " I say breathy.

" Mouth young lady " my mom says wiping her head back.

We all hope out of the car we were on a high way with cars parked off to the side off the road.

The rest of the crew hops out of there car.

" What's going on? " grandma asks walking to my mom.

" Trucks out of gas " she says looking to the trees.

" Ours is about out too " the Mr. Carter chimes in.

" Let's syphon some gas really quick " Axel says moving into the conversation.

We look to find a red gas tanks and a tube in the ghost cars and get to filling up the tanks Mr. Carter does his car first with easy getting no gas in his mouth and filling up his tank. Axel try's for ours.

He sucks on the tube as the gas begins flowing up it.

" Your good " I say looking at the level of gas.

" Oh shit " he shouts spitting out the mouth full of gasoline giving the worse face I've ever seen and proceeded throwing up everywhere I mean any food in his body was gone.

Mr. Carter finished off for us do to Axels inability.

" I told you so " was all I could say to him. I felt bad but he should have listened to me.

" Oh shut up " he gives and evil grin.

He threw up once more before we all piled back up into the car.

~ an hour later ~

I looked out the window of the truck I guess we were here there were people lined up out side of a black tent and there was a fence guarding around the place as well as solders walking the fence each heavily armed. My heart has never beat so fast my palms started sweating I was so nervous. I heard the sound of a helicopter landing inside of the fence and then saw people come running out of the other side of the tent jumping aboard and then a few moments later it takes off.

" I guess there transporting us out if her " I say un able to take my eyes off of this operation going on.

" Let's go meet up with the others " my mom says parking the car next to the rest of our crew.

We hop out of the truck and huddle up.

" Okay y'all ready " my mom says to the group smiling.

" Ready as I'll ever be " I say smirking.

"Then let's get out of the hell "
