     Me and Harry get alerted, at least I got to know him a little bit better. Me and Harry get up, and we follow Lawrence into classroom C-1 for the meeting. The whole room starts to fill up with the rest of the people who live here.

     ," Hailey is here, Ethan is here, Sue is here, Zion is-", Lawrence says, he stops, and realizes Zion wasn't there. " hey, where is Zion and Scarlet?". Lawrence said looking at all of us. " I guess we have to carry the meeting without them...". Ethan said.

    I stand next to Harry, and I feel safe next to him. He has this aura, that makes you feel bright inside. " okay folks, we're deciding who is doing the night watch tonight, and because Zion and Scarlet did it last night, I guess it's not there turn for tonight". Lawrence said.

     I look around the classroom, he picks Ethan, Harry, Eugene, Jay, and Sue. I saw the teams were uneven, and I wanted to do something to pay them back for saving me. " I'll go with them...", I say looking straight into Lawrence's eyes.

     ," hey you don't have to go, you are new here". He said with a warm smile. " no, I want to go...I want to pay back all of you for taking me in...". I say back with a smile. Lawrence nods, " okay, Ethan your with Sue, Eugene your with Jay, and Harry your with Annebelle. ". We all nod, and get assigned certain places, Ethan and Sue have the court yard. Eugene and Jay have the roof.

     Harry and I have the first floor and second. We all split up, and we night watch. Me and Harry walk up and down the halls, looking into rooms, it's so dark out. I look at Harry, and I ask," so, what's your story?". " I thought I gave you my story?", he replied. " how did you meet the guys?". I respond back. He looks at me, " well after I lost my mother to the zombies...-

     I wandered on my own for while, I honestly wanted to be killed by them, and I took that step, I started to yell, and I attracted them to me... until I saw a blackhaired boy, red haired, and light browned hair boy fight them off... they saved me as well...its kind of the same as your story, but you didn't want to kill yourself...".

     I looked at him and cried a little, I could feel his pain, honestly, I wanted to die as well. But he and my family kept me going. We kept walking down the hall, until we heard grunts and groans coming from a room. We stopped, we were startled. The noise kept getting louder, and louder, and we just waiteld.
