Rating: T-R for violence, language, sexual innuendos and mild adult situations or themes. ( If little kids in the area, they should vacate the premises. Not for the faint of heart does get graffic...lol I'm not that hardcore but this might go a little further then I've tried in the past)
Pairing: Jess and Amy ( are Harriet's moms) and Sonya is going to show up soon. Both of them will be either babies or children.
Style: I am going to keep the charater pov one person for now. This gives break to some of my readers an makes for easier read BUT... I am skipping back an forth in time alot. You be able to tell where you by the name of the chapter so DAY 1= Day of the flares. Closer to the flares lower the day number. The cranks came up later that year so im going to say 8months later will be DAY 240... chapter three might be DAY 3. Do you get it. if you don't message me. Give it a few chapters you'll catch on.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters or places, nor do I make any profit from them. and just a warning if you haven't read all the book there is spoilers.
P.s. I will say please don't take offense to some of the scenes in this story. some of them may be graffic and or disgusting when i get around to it. Plus chapters will be short so have fun reading. Review Review Review and ENJOY.
I walked back into the living room to see Jess staring at the TV. She was standing there with her arms crossed, directly in front of it. "Babe…" I asked, because there was a slight alarm behind the announcer which made him hard to understand from here. "Babe?" I asked a little louder an she popped to. There was a new panic about her as she started to rush about the living room grabbing pictures out of frames and clothes that were strung about here an there. I refocused on the TV again, the newscaster was telling everyone to get below grounds as far as possible. It was distracting so I muted the TV.
A scientist came on the Tv next an started spewing some bullshit they put it slow people terms on banners across the bottom saying they were flares strong enough to penetrate our atmosphere. "Is this for real?" I questioned turning quickly on my heels to follow her around the room. I was thinking this was some nat geo prep show at first. I was starting to feel her panic. Jess rushed into our bed room and walked out with a half packed bag of clothes. "Grab our heaviest coats and your leather jacket. I stood there clueless for a moment. "Amy get moving we gotta go." She snapped, I jumped because she's never yelled at me before. I grabbed my leather jacket along with her old ski coat.
"IS this good?" I asked feeling like a child, only following her every move for ques. Then I thought, "What is this going to do." I quizzed, "scorch the earth. We have to get to the subway." She explained an I moved to the cabinet. "I should bring my gun then." I told her setting down the jackets and opening it up. Jess jus starred at me for a second. She hates guns, we were robbed last year so my dad got me a gun for Christmas. I keep it locked up all the time and no one knows I have it but her. She still gets nervous around it, I mean literal shaking. "Yea" she whispered. I went to grab the glock. Then the coats and moved to the front door.
"Wait a sec, we need another bag." She told me, so I went for my book bag on the couch and tossed it to her. Jess ran into the kitchen and packed some food. I looked for more bullets in the living room dresser. When I returned to the door jess joined me. I opened it and exited out into the hallway. It was getting louder out here by the second. Everybody was yelling, people were just running shoving others out of the way. Lugging luggage behind them or in front. Some carried nothing they looked like they just wanted out of the building.
My neighbor was piling suitcases just outside his door while his wife ushered his two small children out the small apartment. Jess an I are barely comfortable in our one bedroom. I don't understand how they could be. Jess tells me all the time its probably all they could afford like us. I turn to lock the door when I feel her arms wrap around my waist and pull me away from the door. "The door's…" "Bae lets go." She interrupts me and pulls me away from the door. "Someone going to steal all our stuff" I yelped complaining as we walked down the hall. "We don't have time to waste." She started to tell me as she pulled me along. I never liked being pulled along so I caught up with her. We were dodging people as they walked out of their apartments.
The hallway quickly filled with people as we ran to the stairs. I knew most all of tenants that lived in our building but in the rush of the all the noise and panic we all became strangers. Everybody was looking out for themselves, pushing and shoving towards the stairwell. I didn't realize how many people lived in my building till now. Now that were all in a tiny space.
Getting to the stair well I pushed Jess out the hall door in front of me. She grabbed onto my shirt as people started to push past her. "I'm right behind you." I told her as she started for the stairs. I kept thinking I was going to fall, there wasn't enough space for the amount of people forcing their way through to the bottom of the stairwell. It was a panicked mess. I've been shoved in the back an side few times already.
When we broke out onto the street I looked up, there was this weird orange glow between grey swirling clouds. That was a mistake, It all gave me the creeps. Someone bumped into me hard running out of the building. A few others stopped to stare at the odd Sky. Someone grabbed my arm pulled me along again. When I look to see who it was it wasn't Jess. It was Jessica's ex Jenn. She lived two floors above us. Why we still lived in the same building as her ex? Last person I wanted to see. We all got along evenly. We almost never saw each other so I guess it works. Jen is a photographer, also a vet. She travels to take her pictures. Jess ran up alongside me so I jerked away from Jen she glanced over her shoulder but kept running once she caught sight of Jess. Jens jacket flared in the wind and I saw this giant knife secured to the back of her belt. I shouldn't have counted her out as soon as I did.
We moved with the panicked crowds. I couldn't see but a few feet ahead because there was so many people. Most were rushing to cars. There was people in the street not sure which way to run. Other people were pounding on building doors trying to get inside. Jess was always freaking out about things like this. We always watched Tv shows and debated how the world bite it but I didn't think it would be this. I shook my head as I ran behind the two girls, this could be the end. No this was jus a terrorist attack and we need run because of it. That's all, everybody should be fine. I hope.
Jess and Jen ran down into the subtrans and I followed quickly. Then there was this flash of light, people pushed and shoved into the narrow stairwell behind me. I almost fell. Then I felt it, the heat.
There was a searing pain on the back of my neck that I don't even think suntan lotion could save me from. I cried out stopping in my tracks. Maybe a little fear frozen like everyone else. Jess reached back hearing me cry out and pulled me forward. I didn't even realize that the crowds had started to swallow me and they started to break way. I glanced back to see bodies crammed up against each other pushing and fighting to get down the stairs out of the searing heat cause by the flares. A few people at the top of the stairwell burst into flames. Caught in full exposer of the flares enormous heat. Shouting quickly turned into cries and screams in pain. That type of scream was horrible.
When we made it to the bottom the crowd fanned out an ran in both direction down the tunnel. It was pretty much pitch black, but for a few flash lights that lit up here an there. The small light close to the tops of the tunnels were out. I didn't even know if we brought flash light. Then Jen turned on a light, "What the…We have to put something on that." Jen demanded as she shined a light on my neck, "No we should keep moving, it's going to get worse down here, an we have to get away from these people before they go apocalypse crazy." I told them, remember all the shows where it showed people rioting and tearing up the city as a society fell. "You'll get n infection, this burn is pretty bad." Jess warned as she went to reach for it. "Lets get somewhere first. Fix me after." I told them, as I went to lightly touch it. Trying to see how bad it was for myself.
Jen went to see for herself, instead I grabbed Jess's hand and pulled her along the tunnel. "Come on Jen." I demanded as she went to look at my neck as well. "Run." Someone screamed as a crowd of people from the bottom of the stairs half burnt up an some still on fire. The three of us ran. I kept running I didn't even notice the door we went through. All I felt was a pair of hands grab me an pull me backwards.
Jen, jess and I Ran down a stairwell till we thought we were far enough down and stopped at a random floor. It was cool down here and the subtrans weren't working so the tunnels weren't as hot as they were close to the surface. I could hear other people but they weren't anywhere near close to us. We walked slowly down the tunnel till it broke off to another tunnel where we could hear a lot more people coming in our direction. Jen quickly found a small room so we parked it in there. There wasn't much in there but some shelves an a small coffee table no chairs. So Jess sat on the table and I sat between her legs.
Jess fiddled with her purse then I felt this cool sensation on the back of my next where the burn was. "What is that?" I asked. "Lube." She said calmly. "WHAT?" I yelped, "I'm just kidding…but it feels better doesn't it?" Jess questioned. Whatever he was doing was working. I just hope she wasn't really using lube. "Did that help?." Jess asked. I turned to look an see what she was using. Some small tube of something. I looked over to see Jen tuck away a small red pack. I really shouldn't have counted her out. She came way more prepared then me.
