Chapter 2: Before the infection 2
That morning Carley was the first to wake up, lucky enough it was Saturday, and she looked at the time. 11:30pm.
She decided it was time to get changed, she trotted up stairs into her room, just a plain white shade to cover her walls with wood furniture her bed had black covers and a giant teddy bear made from leather. She opened her wardrobe and got changed. She wore yellow chequered over jacket, another white-t shirt but this one had a heart with an arrow on it in the middle. She put on a slightly longer than a mini black skirt. She changed into another pair of white socks.
Shuffling over to her desk, she decided to put one skull ear ring in and the other one a bright pink heart. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, her bleach blonde natural hair shining in the sun light. Blue eyes bouncing back at each other through the mirror just screaming beautiful. Carley really had two faces, a tough rebel woman and a rough but gentle hearted teenager.
She heard movement downstairs; it couldn't have been there new parents. Come to think of it, she'd only saw there new parents once, they hadn't come home yesterday she suspected. They were out of town yes but they said they would be back by now…
Things were staring to get too strange for Carley's liking, the whole green flu news spreading across the nation infecting cities around the north. The news mentioned people fleeing the north are brining the infection south. Carley really didn't know what to think of the situation of the green flu spreading across America, she was hoping they would get moved to somewhere like England but apparently luck wasn't on her side, life seemed more aimed at Axel than anything.
After a few minutes of thinking to herself she decided to go back downstairs, Axel and Corin were asleep. She sighed, now she thought about it, she's happy they moved down to the south, just look at Axel and Corin…
She could only smile at the sight of them, huddled so tightly, now Carley didn't believe in the met by fate crap but something just something about those two brought it to mind.
She walked over to what was her makeshift bed last night and sat back on while turning the TV on, she heard someone shift to her right, Corin opened his eyes, and his first sight was Axel not even moved a little bit since he snuggled up.
"He's always asleep the longest" Carley laughed, Corin almost jumped out of his skin, "Didn't mean to scare you" Carley smiled.
Axel fidgeted then opened his eyes, he looked around where he was, his eyes opened wide and he jumped up. Carley laughed, but Axel and Corin's faces turned as red as a tomato.
Carley jumped out of the sofa when she heard the telephone ringing, she ran across the room to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Is my son Corin there?" The males voice was gruff and sounded like a man around the age of mid 40s.
"Yeah"
Carley tossed the phone to Corin.
"Hello?"
"Are you safe?"
"Erm yeah Dad what's up"
"Have you not heard?"
"Heard what? Come on dad your scaring' me?"
"Your mom, she caught the green flu, it seems the whole block has, Corin if you're safe there I want you to stay there"
"Dad…"
"Corin listen to me STAY where you are or take your friends and get out of town!"
Before Corin could even reply he heard screaming and the phone cut off, Corin's face dropped in colour and his smile faded long ago.
"Corin?" Axel moved closer to the saddened male, the tears building up in his eyes weren't hiding all that well. At an instant Corin wrapped his arms around Axel allowing his tears to fall, Axel brushed his right hand up and down his back softly trying to form at least some comfort.
"There going to be alright" Axel tried to make him feel better, but he hardly even believed his own words, Carley just released an overly long and loud sigh, she couldn't say anything to make him feel better.
"Guess I'm staying here for a while" Corin's voice was almost drained of any sort of happiness; "Come on It wont be that bad" Axel smiled putting his hand on Corin's shoulder.
A news broadcasting on the TV caused them to stop and just stare at the TV, "This is breaking news, green flu has reached the northern sectors of the southern region, it is advised you stay in your homes, stay clean and do not contact anyone with the virus" the blonde female news reader reading the print out with a face of terror then finishing with a fake smile.
"Carley?" Axel's voice sounded nervous…
"Yes Axel?"
"Do you think…?"
"Do I think what?"
"Do you think Alex and Mary have caught green flu…?"
"Wouldn't surprise me there germ magnets" That was suppose to be a joke Axel assumed, but no one not even Carley was laughing.
"At the centre town motel, authorities have created an Evac station that will guarantee safety to all who attended, local police are working to create paths to the Evac safe, but in case of an emergency bring a source of defence" The woman smiled, then Carley switched the TV off…
"Alright in an hour we MOVE on out of here I'm not sticking around any longer" Carley repeated four times while running between rooms grabbing various objects.
