~~~~Java and Ethan's POV~~~~

       After Java and Ethan got done congratulating Nick, they began walking back home. "Nick's a cool guy,don't you think?", Ethan asked Java. "Yeah, he's awesome. I just still can't believe he killed that bear!", Java answered back.
       "Hey, uh, I think I see a building.", Ethan said. "You wanna go explore?", Java said. "Let's expore it!", Ethan said. As Ethan and Java ran towards the building, a small city came into view. When they reached the city, they immediately began making small talk with the other people.

  As the two finished talking,they met back up. Ethan said to Java,"Remember those adventures we used to have," "Yeah," said Java. "Those were the good days." They both laughed as they reminised. They lost track of what they were doing until they heard the sounds of the others. That's when they heard it.
  The screaming crying pain was totally alien to both of them. "What was that?", Java asked. "Probably your stomach," Ethan answered back. Java replies,"No, my stomach growls don't sound anything like that." They both turned their heads trying to find where the sound was coming from. Then they heard a long deep moan.
   It was the most horrifying thing both of them had ever seen before. Someone Java and Ethan had talked to, who was called Frank, was being attacked by a horde of zombies. Frank gave out a final gasp of air after one of the zombies had bitten him in the neck revealing much of his throat. Java and Ethan barely even noticed the zombie walking towards them they were so horrified!
   Both Java and Ethan got up as quick as the could and ran for their lives! They were stopped in the middle of their tracks by another small horde of zombies. "Crap," Java said. They tried running back the other way but the other zombies had caught up with them. Ethan and Java both looked at each other and they both knew what they were thinking. They had to run straight into the middle of the horde and hope they could get out before they'd be torn to bits.
   "On the count of 3," Ethan said. "1." They both braced themselves. "2." They shut their eyes, ready for what could lie ahead of them. "3!" They both tore like a pack of wild wolves after its prey. "AHHHHHH!!", they screamed in unison.
  As they tore through the horde, they both realized they would make it out alive. They both knew exactly where they were going. They both knew one day their world wouldn't be the same world as they knew one way or another some time in the future. As they ran towards their emergency underground base, they passed by Nick and Livi. Ethan and Java had already went over their apocalypse plans with Livi as she'd be one of their closest friends. "RUN!", Java shouted. As Livi did what she was told, Nick stayed put. "Why?", he asked. "Just trust us, we knew this was going to happen.", Ethan told Nick. "Knew WHAT would happen?", Nick said. "Oh, COME ON!", Java shouted as he grabbed Nick's shoulder and started to run.
  The horde was almost close enough to where at least one of the zombies could've bitten Nick's arm because he was being half dragged. They were almost there when Livi screamed,"Help!, I can't open the hatch!" Since Livi was one of the weaker ones, Java and Ethan had suspected she'd have trouble opening the secret hatch. "Really?", Java said as he opened the hatch with ease. Livi rolled her eyes.
   "Everybody in!", Ethan shouted. He'd barely closed the hatch when he saw the zombies just reach it. Ethan,Java,and Livi all sighed with relief. Nick was still confused because no one had told him what was going on yet. "Could someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?", Nick almost shouted. "I'll tell you this," Ethan said. "It's gonna be a LOOONG night."
