"so where are you guys from." asked Jordan. "I-i'm from the supermarket." said Brooke in a shaky voice."there are about 60 other people that are holed up in there with barricades and lookouts watching for strangers." "how about you Jordan?" asked James.

"Were from a private school a little south of here." exclaimed Jordan. "oh, is it nice there?" "yea but were running low on food and we were sent out to find more." "oh, well me Damian and Ethan are free roaming just looking for a bigger party to group up with. We were in the stadium looking for food, but we got split up and by the time we found each other we heard her - James motioned to Brooke- screaming. Next thing i knew i was sprinting up the stairs trying to save her from the strangers, but i still don't know her name..." said James. 

" Strangers?" asked Jordan. "yea that's what we call them, because you know stranger danger." "oh yea that makes sense."

"So are you guys planning on going back to your school? And what happened to the teachers?" asked Ethan. " yea were going back but we have to find some food first" said a girl named Izzy who seemed to be the second in command to Jordan. "I'm Ethan by the way." Ethan held out his hand to Izzy who shook it. "You still didn't answer my second question. What happened to the teachers?" "... Jordan ordered us to kill them before they attacked us." Izzy said almost quiet enough so nobody heard her.

  The kids kept walking until it started to become darker and they started seeing strangers appear on the road in front of them. Most of the kids from Jordan's group had knives and wooden clubs. Those that had weapons were starting to form a line in front of the others who didn't have weapons. James pulled out his pocket knife, but Jordan told him to put it away and save his strength." I want to fight." he replied. 

"First of all I cant make you do anything and second of all i'm not responsible for you, so keep that in mind." Jordan said. The kids were all waiting for an order so Jordan yelled "attack!" and the kids with there weapons ready charged forward and -there's no other word for it- slaughtered the waiting strangers.
