Chapter 1 - Survivors

Ruben searched through the cupboards for the fourth time. It was no use. They were quickly running out of supplies. One packet of biscuits was not going to last for long, not the way Jamie wolfed them down. For someone so small, he ate such a large amount. How could she possibly present this as 'dinner'? The group were going to go crazy. They had to leave the house soon. There was a soft knock on the kitchen door, followed by Layla's head. "Do you need any help?" she asked softly. Ruben threw up hands up. "There's nothing left, we will have to leave the house soon" Layla came into the kitchen and started searching the cupboards. "Layla, there's no point, I've looked"

"There's always a point" she answers. As Layla carries on searching, Ruben peers out of the curtains, nothing, no walkers today. Where have they all gone? Thinking back before all this started, the street was normally packed with cars, occasionally a fire engine or two. "Ok, you're right." Layla's voice broke into Rubens thoughts. She let the curtain fall back into place and turned to face her. "So what do we tell the group?"

"The truth" and with that she went into the living room. Ruben sighed as she watched her go. Why couldn't she be like that, so level-headed? The cupboard door creaked, startling her. When was all this going to end?

Lucy was trying to get to know Rain but it was working. Rain just occasionally nodded, twirling her knife. Eventually Lucy gave up and went to talk to Joseph. Rain was sitting on the top of an old cupboard, with her headphones in, not really paying attention to the world. Jamie was playing with china ornaments in the corner. Everyone looked up except Rain at Jen. Jamie stood up. "Is there food?" Jen shook her head. "Just a little, it won't last long. His face dropped. "Oh" then he slunk down in an armchair.

Joseph went over to him. "It's ok, lil bro; they'll be more food soon. Hey don't keep your face like that, remember what mum said, if the wind changes it will get stuck like that" Jamie smiled as he remembered the memory. "That's better" Ruben came into the living room, she held the biscuits up in the air. Everyone cheered. "Everyone gets two each and when they're gone, so are we. Got it?" she said as she brought them back down. Then she went around the room handing everyone two each. When she got to rain, she offered her them. Rain pulled a headphone out. "These are for you" Rain looked at them. "I'm good thanks" and she put her headphone back in. Ruben placed them next to her on the cupboard before going to talk to Jen about the move.
