Chapter five
Unknown
All of the now nine kids sat on the bus with their band teacher. They were out on the open road. Mike sat looking onto the floor. Hayley sat two seats ahead of him looking out the window.
“Hay.” Said a young boy with purple hair blue eyes and a red shirt, “you ok?”
Mike looked up and over at the boy across from him, “I don’t know.”
The boy looked sad for a moment before saying “I’m Elijah.”
“Mike.” Said Mike.
“Hay!” Shouted Ceara “Mr.Pfenning where are we going?”
“I don’t know yet.” He said in response, “we’re going till I find somewhere safe for you all.”
“How am I gonna get home if I don’t know where I am?” Said a girl with dark red hair glasses and hazel eyes, “Me and my brother Jackson don’t have phones.
“You could use mine.” Said Ceara, “just wait till I’m done with it. For some reason I can’t get a hold of anybody at home. I’ll try my sister. She dialed the number and put her phone down on speaker. It range for a few moments.
“Sis? Oh thank god!” A voice came from the phone! “Where are you are you ok? What happened to you?”
“Wow, calm down I’m on a bus right now with some other kids. Have you been able to get a hold of mom and dad?” Said Ceara.
“No I haven’t spoken to anyone but you yet. After those people broke into the school I’ve been kept in the bathroom since. I saw you and shouted but you ran out the doors with some other kids.” Said the phone girl.
“Yea I’m still with them on a bus.” Ceara said.
“Ok so your safe?” All the kids around her heard grunting and gurgling sounds coming from the phone.
“Sis” said Ceara. The phone hung up. “KATELIN!!!” She screamed.
Her phone buzzed. She got a message from her sister saying “Don’t call me the bad people are outside my stall.
Ceara slouched in her seat as she sighed.
“Everyone ok back their?” Mr pfennig said. “What’s with the screaming?”
“We’re fine I was just worried about my sister.” Ceara said.
Mike walked up to the front of the bus and sat in the seat behind the steps. Travis followed and sat on the steps.
“So, Teach.” Said Travis, “where'd you learn to Hotwire a school bus?”
Pfenning snickered, “Did you just call me teach?”
“Yeah it’s slang for t-“ Travis was cut off.
“I know what it means it’s just weird.” Pfennig said “Also none of your business where I learned.”
Hayley got up and sat next to Mike. She looked distressed. She sat there trying to find the right words.
“Mike?” She began “what do you think will happen to us?”
Mike looked up at her with a surprised face. “I don’t know.”
“We’re gonna be fine.” Said Travis, “Sides, it's not like anyone of us are even hurt or something.”
“Yea Travis is right.” Said mike “we’re gonna be ok.”
“Hay kids.” Said Pfennig,” I don’t want to alarm you but we haven’t passed a single car or even another person since we left the school. Porkvill is just a few miles up so maybe we’ll see someone then.”
“Well maybe my parents could help us. They live their.” Said Nathan sitting two seats behind Mike and Hayley.
“No they wouldn’t be able to do much but we could drop you off there.” Said Pfennig.
“Ok that will work.” Said Nathan.
“That’s where we'll go.” Said Pfennig, “I don’t have anywhere I can take you really safe, so I’ll just take you home. Anyone else have a house in Porkvill?”
“I do.” Said Carly softly. “It’s just a little ways past the gas station.”
“Ok, Nathan let me know when you see your house.” Pfennig said.
Mike looked out the window and saw the abandoned Porkvill Elementary School. He presses his forehead against the glass. He thought to himself what was he going home to.
“Here just three houses up.” Said Nathan.
Pfennig stopped the bus and looked back at Nathan. “Here?”
Nathan noded. Pfennig opened the door and Nathan stepped off.
Mike picked his head up as pfennig closed the door and continued on. As he looked out the window he noticed all the doors to allot of the houses around were opened, some of the windows were broken into.
“Mr. Pfennig?” Said Mike.
Pfennig turned his head back and opened his mouth to say something.
“LOOK OUT!” Screamed Travis standing up and pointing to the road.
Pfennig jerked his head around to see someone limping across the road. It looked like one of the sick people to Mike. Pfennig swerved out of the way turning the bus to its side. The bus leaned on two wheels before flipping over in between a large church and a gas station. Mike looked up to see Travis flipping over their seat. Mike hit his head on the window causing his head to bleed and the window to crack.
