I wake up in a tent, Julia is no where to be found. I go to get up but I find my hands tied. I lay my head back down on the bed and think back to what I just saw. That fucking soldier blew Andre's brains straight out of his head. I quickly grow angry but also worried, where is my sister. Suddenly a soldier and a nurse enter my tent.
"Hello civilian we have a few questions to ask you."
"What the fuck did you do to my friend, you just-you just fucking murdered him."
"Your friend was bitten, it was just a matter of time, I spared him the pain of a slow death now we will be the ones asking questions here."
"What about my sis-" he cuts me off.
"She's fine now shut the fuck up."
"First question, have you been up close with any of those zombies."
"Yes."
"Alright question 2, have you gotten any of their blood or saliva in your system?"
"No, they haven't even touched me."
"Final question, do you have any pre-existing illnesses I should know about?"
"Not that I know of."
"Alright well I'm gonna have the nurse come and see if you're ready to move around." He leaves before I can even speak again. A few minutes later a short women with short black hair walks in. "Hello I'm just hear to see if you're able to get off the bed, you took a good hit to the noggin." She giggles to herself. I grab her arm, "listen ma'am I need your help please."
"I can't do much to help you I'm sorry."
"You don't understand, I need to find my sister, do you have any idea where they took her." She sighs before she talks to me.
"Look the um-the soldiers here aren't the friendliest, they out people to forced hard work and labor, and anyone who refused to work for them, is killed. That's nothing compared to what happens to the women though if they refuse to work."
"What do you mean, what's going on here."
"I'm sorry I've said all I can say." My chest tenses up at the thought of what could be happening to my sister.
"You're all set to leave now, please stay safe." As I go to leave the tent the nurse grabs my arm. She whispers so softly I can barely hear her, "she's at an apartment in Ravenstreet, that's all I know sorry and be careful." I leave the tent and scout around. I see a whole lot of tents around, but not a lot of people. Soldiers are all over the walls, and I see some people being escorted by soldiers around the camp.
"Hey what the hell are you doing, get a move on." I look back at the soldiers talking to me, I start walking around slowly looking at all the signs. Riverstreet, Lewis Street, Ravenstreet there it is. I move quickly towards it to not be spotted by any soldiers. I see some soldiers laughing and leaving a building. When I approach I hear sobs coming from the building. I enter and see Julia, her shirt torn down a slight bit she's now hysterical. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She yells as she kicks and screams at me.
"Sis, sis it's me please, what the hell happened here."
"They touched me, humiliated me for their own fun and enjoyment." With vengeance in my eyes the following words are words I've never meant more in my life, "we will make these assholes pay."
