I woke up on the cold ground to screams of terror and blood splattered everywhere. I was all alone. Clueless to the current situation. Wondering where my family was. Asking myself if they were looking for me, or if they even thought of me. I climbed to my feet but stumbled a little bit on the way up. I tried to wave somebody down but all I got was screams in my face. I was completely oblivious. Not much different than usual. Hello. My name is Anais Flowers. I'm thirteen years old. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Completely socially awkward. About to start summer break where I was gonna be in eighth grade. That was, until this happened.
Of course as any other thirteen year old girl would, I had my phone in my cold rough hand. I looked to see what day and time it was, but my phone was black. No, it didn't die. It stopped working I guess. I had completely blacked out before; meaning I had no idea on how I ended up here. I've never seen this place before. Especially now that there was crashed cars and dead bodies everywhere. It seemed like I was in a horror movie. All I remember last before this happened was my mom holding me in her arms with my family quietly panicking behind her. They all had tears in their eyes. Of course I have no idea why. Did I die? Is this what it's like? Hah. I had no fucking clue. It all just seemed like one big dream. Dream? More like nightmare.
I ran over to the nearest person I could reach. He just growled at me and started walking towards me with a slight limp. I could've sworn his left hand was gone. He got faster and faster. The faster he went, the faster I starting backing away. He then started to charge at me like an angry bull. I screamed as I fell to the ground. I tightly closed my eyes and curled up. I felt like I couldn't move anywhere. What did I even trip on? Idiot. Then all of a sudden I heard a gunshot. It startled me. I flinched and opened my eyes to the bloody man falling on me. I quickly rolled to the side so he didn't, but afterwards, being me, I had a cringe attack for like 2 minutes. I quickly looked around for the person who saved me from this random man, and when I found her she signaled me to come. So I had to follow her. What did I know? I was too scared to be alone that I was desperate for anyone. Even a complete stranger like her.
I walked over with my ripped skin tight jeans and tee-shirt with the band Nirvana on it. It's my favorite shirt of mine because I'm completely obsessed with the band. It was covered in dirt from the previous fall I had just taken. I was cold, scared and confused of what was happening. I walked up a tall hill where the girl was. I looked over and didn't see her at all. No where in sight. Then I felt myself becoming shorter.. Crazy right? But then I realized I was on an elevator going underground, and by the time I had just figured out what was happening, it was too late to try and get out of it. It led me into a tunnel I guess? But there was a couch and like a group of people just hanging out there. I was so confused! I just stood there... In shock. The girl I saw motioned me, yet again, to walk over there.
"Drink?" She said to me. "What? I don't know you! I can't just take a drink you could've like poison it or something!" I was so confused and scared. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. She chuckled. "fair enough. I watched you wake up and try to ask for help from that walker. You must be so confused."
"Walker? What's a 'walker'?"
"Zombie? A person walking around after they died eating people alive? What else?"
"I don't know I just woke up! I don't understand what's even happening!"
"Austa. Austa flowe."
"What's that your name?
"Ahaha yeah, you?"
"Anais flowers."
"Woah that's so weird."
"What?"
"Our names are like... So close to each other.."
"Yeah that is pretty weird."
"So uh, like thirteen?"
"Like my age?"
"Yeah what else? haha."
"Oh hah uh yea." I can't take my stupidity.
"Same. This is Jordyn, she's 15, Exavior, he's 13 also, Jamie, he's 20, and Marissa, she's also 20."
"Uh hi.. I guess."
"Woah. That's so crazy." said Jordyn
"What?"
"You guys look exactly alike."
"Woah yeah I see it." Said Marissa running up right next to Jordyn
"Exavior! Come look at this!"
"Whaaat Jordyn?"
"Look at how similar they look!"
"Holy shit!"
"Language Exavior." Said Marissa annoyed
"Sorryyy.."
Marissa rolled her eyes while she crossed her arms over her chest.
"You guys look really similar. Are you sure you're not sisters?" Exavior said with a curious look on his face.
Jordyn looked down with a sad look on her face. I wondered what was wrong. Did she have a sister that died? Did she get eaten? I don't know.
"Well, so far none of us remember any of our personal information besides our age and name."
"Oh.."
"Yeah. We haven't really figured anything out besides that."
"Maybe I can help."
"Help with what? There's nothing you can fucking help with. We're all gonna die down here." said Jaime very loudly.
I just stood there with my eyes widened.
"Chill Jamie. Sorry Anais he's just grumpy." Exavior said. He took a big deep sigh after that.
"It's okay."
"Soo.. do you remember anything?" Austa said with high hopes.
"I only remember my name, age and only parts of my family. It's sad that I can't remember. It makes me regret being a teenage dirtbag."
Please tell me why I said that. I have NO CLUE WHY! Can someone kill me? just put me back on the elevator and let those walker things eat me. I won't mind.
"Its normal for you to not remember. Like I said, none of us do either."
"I guess. So uh what do you guys do down here?" I said
"We kinda just sit around and talk. But sometimes we go outside to see if there's any other survivors. We weren't going to go outside today, but something was telling me to. I guess you got lucky." Austa shrugged her shoulders with a slight smile trying her best to show that her and her friends aren't going to hurt me in any way. And I believe her.
