When Darkness Falls

The names Alexandra but everyone calls me Alex .
When I say everyone I mean my brother Allen, step mum Cat (Catherine), my dads friend Mike and Sky my best friend with four legs.
You must be thinking that i'm home schooled or something, but youre wrong. You see 7 years ago when I was a mere 12 years old all, objects powered by anything that involved electricity stopped. Cars didn’t work, power stations blew up killing city’s in one go, battery's are used as nothing more then paperweights and although that was bad, what happened next was worse.
People started killing out of greed and others died from infection. At first there was a small group of us, made up of friends from our town. But slowly people left, were killed or just disappeared at night. I've had to learn the most primeval skills like hunting, gutting animals and lighting fires. Throughout the blackout we've stayed in one house with a bit of land. That was until the middle of summer, when a group of men came to our land and killed one of the few things I have left in this cruel world .

This is my story of how I try to get revenge.

The names Jace.
I've been on my own for a good number of years now, but I couldn’t say how long. I was 13 when the black out first happened but it didn’t really matter much to me. Back then I was an orphan, a pest and no one cared for me so I had to learn how to survive. I had my sister with me for the first 4 years but she ended up getting kidnapped while we where hunting. She was 13 years old when she was taken leaving me a 17 year old boy on my own with the possibility of death around every corner and the only person I love lies resting heavily on my shoulders. So for the past 3 years i've been following sources to point me to the men who took her. Weather talking to people in small towns or beating information out of drunks.

This is my story of how I look for my sister.

and what we find on the way.
