I've been walking the woods of Minnesota for what feels like weeks now. The world has ended. No I'm not just saying that. The apocalypse rocked this planet to its core and there's only two thousand people left that we know of. For instance, I'm the only one left in my family. I was too late trying to save them. You would think since I was a nurse I'd be able to stop the bleeding. There was so much blood. I touched the scar on my chest.
The day when everything went to hell, I was on my way home from my shift at the hospital. I walk into my house and see my little sister being attacked. I grabbed the bat from behind my sister's door and started swinging. My sister was lying there completely still on the floor, blood draining from her neck. The Croat grabbed my bat and flung it down the hall and he got the best of me. It held me down and tried to tear at my throat. My mom, who always gets home around the same time as I do, picked up the bat, and saved me. I couldn't save her. It had one good hit in and killed her instantly. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it.
It was getting late and saw a sign that said a hotel was only a few miles ahead. What I wouldn't do for sleep. I hear branches snap behind me. I put my hand on my gun in the back of my jeans. I saw nothing that would dare to harm me. However, when I turned my attention straight, that was when I was punched in the face. Asshole.
An older man with a friend of his, I'm guessing, stood over me.
" what should we do with her?", the younger guy asked. God I didn't want to know what was running through his mind.
He looked at my open bag filled with guns, knives, and clothes spilled all over the forest floor.
The older man finally gave him an answer. " Take her weapons. She's not going to do anything."
And when his hand was close enough, I grabbed it and snapped it. He hollered in pain and the man grabbed me by the shirt and slammed me against the nearest tree. He grabbed me by the throat and squeezed with every fiber in his body. With my left arm, I trusted my arm down on his wrist. Let's just say it looked like a ladle.
" you bitch.", he whispered through the tears of pain.
His friend aimed my gun inches from my face. He pulled the trigger. I smiled wickedly.
"You ever hear of turning off the safety genius?", I asked sarcastically.
I head butted him and grabbed my gun. his nose started pouring blood. I grabbed my remaining stuff off the floor. He reached in his pocket for his knife and stabbed me in the stomach. I backed up quickly while he continued swinging the knife in his hand. He was too busy holding his bloody nose with the other. I took the safety off my gun and shot them both. that son of a bitch really got me. I threw my bag over my shoulder and started heading to that hotel. Only one mile. i started getting dizzy. My hand wasn't doing justice for this damn stab wound. I fell to my knees. I could feel myself breaking into an odd sweat. That's when it all went to black.
"Hey boss come over here!", Bear yelled.
Dean approached the girl lying there. He could tell she wasn't a Croat. He leaned down to check her pulse.
"she's alive," he said showing shock in his voice.
"We should bring her back to our camp. She'll die out here.", the former angel explained.
"Man Cass, you get smarter by the hour," dean said with a roll of the eyes.
Dean put his hands behind her head and under her legs and lifted her into his arms.
When I came to, I opened my eyes slowly. All I could see was a blinding light and three or more people over me.
" Dean, she's starting to wake up," the dark-haired brunette said.
I got up too fast and instantly got dizzy.
A burly, huge guy grabbed my arm to catch me. " Easy sugar, there's no need to rush."
" Where am I"?
The guy leaning on the table on the opposite side of the room moved toward me.
"We're hunters. We found you when we were doing our usual walk-around for any Croats. You remember what happened to you?"
I moved my hair out of my face and got ready to explain.
" these two guys tried stealing my guns and knives. I fought them and one of the stabbed me. That's when the pain in my stomach hit me.
" Here. these will help with the pain. and these for healing. ", the pretty brunette gave me a glass of water and two kinds of pills.
The guy asking me a series of questions finally started introducing everyone.
" I'm Dean." the chick who helped you with medicine is Reesa. the hippie here is castiel. And finally, the blonde is Ashley."
I don't know what it was, but Ashley hated me from the start. She continued glaring at me from across the room.
Dean broke my train of thought.
"What's yours?"
"Jalissa. "
He shook his head . "Alright Jalissa, Reesa will show you around and you're bunking with Ashley two cabins down."
Great. I'm with the bitch.
"Ok."
Reesa gave me the grand tour. Or should I say the best it's going to get.
"Hey, Reesa, do you know what Ashley's problem is? she seems to truly hate me and I haven't done shit to her."
Reesa knew what I was talking about. " She hates any pretty girl who can get in the way of her and Dean."
"Ah I see. So her and Dean are a couple?"
Reesa laughed at that assumption. " No they just screw."
I headed to my cabin. My favorite person was already in there.
" You know you're not staying in here right? Dean is coming in five minutes. unless watching is your thing."
" No problem. I'm not a fan of porn sluts anyways." and I left the cabin to only bump into Dean.
He seemed nervous for some reason. " Hey jalissa I'm just..
I held my hand up to protest. " Don't bother. I already know how you work."
I knocked on a new friend's door.
"Hey, you mind if I crash here tonight? I really don't wanna hear hobot and dean banging like jack rabbits."
She smiled. "sure come in. Ya know, it wouldn't surprise me if you were his next victim."
I declined that one real fast. " Not going to happen."
Reesa got ready to turn off the light. " Rest up. Dean is going to see how well you fight tomorrow."
Huh this should get interesting.
