Hey guys! This is my first fanfic and I really hope you guys enjoy it! I would love to hear what you guys think about it. Also I would like to hear some ideas of what you want to happen next in the story! I am still adding more chapters, so stay tuned. I really hope you guys like it and please review!


The rain was coming down hard, and the earth shook as thunder roared. You hear a couple of biters moan close by. Snuggling closer to your brother, Brent, you startle him.

Your brother, Brent Rivers, is 17, 3 years older than you. You Crystal Rivers, are 15. You guys live off of small animals and berries. You move from place to place everyday. Both of you are very close and he has taken care of you since the apocolypse has started, ever since your mother died from biters. It's been eight mothes. You have never met your father, he left your family before you were even born. Nobody has ever talked about him anyway.

"What's wrong?", Brent asks you, sitting up.

"I hear biters outside, and there's a lot of thunder.", you say moving closer into his arms. You have always been scared of thunder.

"It's okay. you're safe with me. I'm here", he coos.

You look out the opening of the cave, and see darkness except when lightning flashes across the sky. The entrance of the cave is guareded with sharp sticks, so the biters would not attack you while you sleep. Brent continues to hug you, the rain starts to simmer. You doze off listening to the soft patting of rain and the warmth of your brother.

You wake up with the sun shining bright in your face.

"Goodmorning sunshine.", Brent chuckles. You frown at him, you are not a morning person.

You then move your long brown hair out of your eyes. Brent is wearing a grey t-shirt and jeans with a light black jacket and a pair of sneakers. You look down at your clothes, you have a black tank top and skinny jeans, with a jacket wrapped around your waist and some combat boots. Both of your clothes were dirty but that was the only pair of clothes you guys had. Your faces looked tired and dirty. Your eyes were a deep green and you had freckles along the top of your cheeks and around your nose.

"Woah! Did you get all this this morning?', you ask walking over to were Brent was sitting. There was a pile of fresh fish and berries.

"Yup. The river was pretty clean, i filled our water bottles too.", he says handing you your water, smiling proudly. You take a big gulp of water.

"You might wanna save some for later, Crystal", Brent says grabbing your water, chuckling. You grab some fish and a couple berries, eating every last bite.

"We should go now. We have all the supplies we need. We can walk down the highway and see if we find something.", Brent suggests.

"We always move. Why can't we just stay in one place for a couple of days and rest?", you protest. You did not want to walk another mile. You had just barely made it to the cave last night and did not get much time to rest.

"We can't. We're not safe out here in the woods.", he says standing up and grabbing our stuff. You groan but grab your backpack anyway. You knew it was going to be another long day.

A couple hours later after, you guys come across a small town. There was a little pharmacy and some houses. You both decide to check both of them out.

" I'll go in the house and you can check out the pharmacy.", You say, grabbing your machete out of your belt and walk towards the house. Your brother grabs your backpack and pulls you back.

" Where are you going?" , he demands.

"To find supplies, what else?", you start walking away again.

"You're not going alone, Crystal.", Brent says. You stop in your tracks and face towards him.

"Stop babying me! I'm not a little girl anymore! I'm 15 and can protect myself. I wanna do something without you having to hold my hand all the damn time!", you say through gritted teeth.

"Don't use that tone of voice with me, Crystal! I am not leaving you there alone. What if something happens and I'm not there to protect you?", he argues back.

"Nothing will happen, you're starting to act like mom!". Brent glares at you with rage, but softens his gaze.

He says quietly," I-I dont want you to get hurt. What if you end up like mom? I'm so scared, Crystal. I don't know what i would do with my self if i lost you.", he says with tears forming in his eyes. You walk over to him and hug him.

"I'll be okay. If anything goes wrong I'll stay with you no matter what. I won't leave you alone, Brent.", you say looking up at him. He looks at you for a long moment, but then nods.

"I'll be back."
