Me: -sigh- time to get started on chapter two for this, then chapter 5 for Why an angel. Dame plot bunnies.

Alex: well maybe you shouldn't have thought about so many stories all the time.

Me: it's not like I want to but my imagination goes crazy all the time and it can't be helped.

Alex: you got issues then and you somehow got to get them fixed.

Me: Nah it's also the part of me that helps me stay away from the happy side of the world that my friend can't be trusted with, so I stay with my place in the darkness within the world.

Alex: and what about the times when you're like an innocent child.

Me: oh that when I change and go into the most innocent of innocent places of the dark side. Just so everyone knows not everyone that is in the darkness of the world is evil, it's just dark.

Alex: it's only like one tenth of the darkness is evil. She -points and me- is one of the many that aren't evil but if she wants to be she can be and let me tell you it's not a pretty sight.

Me: ah, what was I doing again? Oh right story well let's start.

Chapter 2

Ellis's POV

At the moment I don't feel like talking nor do I feel like even seeing my friends. Why? I just lost my favourite truck, a truck that was given to me by my father who died a year ago. Just thinking about my father and how I was there when he died really makes me want to cry.

But I can't cry I have to be strong. I walked back to the group and drop two of the duffel bags next to Keith, keeping my own on my shoulder I sat down, my head down not wanting to look at anyone.

After a while we got back up and looked for a place to stay, as we looked around the area and found an abandoned house just a little ways from the mall. Man that mall was the best place ever since they got Jimmy Gibbs, Jr, to have a signing and they even got his car in.

There was nothing else to do but wait until this night was over, then we go in search for a helicopter to take us to the so called safe area that the new comers where talking about. I don't think it's true, the infected get are everywhere no place is safe.

But trying to be safe of those zombies and special infected is better than nothing. I woke up the next morning to a growling noise, not one from a stomach but from the mouth of an infected. I sit up from the position that I was lying in and look around.

I got up off of the couch I had slept on that night, giving a stretch as I got up off of the couch I saw an infected hanging around the front door. Grabbing my gun I shot the zombie from where I was standing.

It fell down in a heap with a loud screeching noise, as the zombie made its way to the ground dead. I heard the creaking noise of the wooden staircase, I clocked my head it the direction of the staircase, it was only that guy from yesterday the one in the white suit.

Nick's POV

I yawned as I walked down the stairs and into the lounge room to find that was it Ellis was wake with her gun in hand and standing before the couch, her head turned in my direction.

She gave a laugh and said "Well if I didn't know any better and as my momma taught me right you're a conman."

"Well done. But let me ask why a young lovely lady like you be a grease monkey?" I replied and expression of tiredness on my face.

A small smile on her face she replied "I grew up with a father that was a grease monkey; he just loved cars and would always bring me into his work shop letting me help out. So I grew into loving cars as much as he did, and I would always help out whenever I could in the shop. I even dropped out of school early just to work in the shop."

A laugh escaped her lips as she plopped down onto the couch and whispered very quietly to herself "If they could see me now I wonder what they would say. I wish Zoey was here." Tears glistened from her eyes one ran down her cheek and she did nothing to wipe it away.

I had to strain my hearing to hear what Ellis had just whispered. Before I could say anything I heard distant footsteps coming louder by the second. I move out of the way so I'm not blocking the stair way.

Keith's POV

I woke up forgetting where I was and why I was here, until I heard the moaning and groaning of the used to be ordinary people that had gotten infected by the going around virus.

Looking out of the window that was to the left in the room I had used to stay away from the zombies during the night. All I could see were a few zombies here and there but not to many that we would run out of bullets to fast.

I wonder if Ellis is awake by now. She probably is, and probably not that happy either. Well her car which she had said was practically zombie proof got smashed up by a tank.

I walked out of the room and to the stairs making sure that Ellis is ok. She's like a 5 year old with a gun and a comprehensive understanding of every swear word in the English language. Well that what her sister and her mother used to say about her, it's ironic how true that saying is.

When looking up from the ground as I walked down the stairs I saw Nick was that his name or whatever his name is move away from the bottom of the stair case. It made me wonder how long he might have been standing there.

I heard the tiny gasps of what sounded like someone crying. I walked down the rest of the way down the stairs, I saw Ellis sitting on the couch cry trying not to disturbing her I accidentally stepped on a creaky floorboard.

When hearing the noise Ellis' head shot up form where it was and she pointed her gun in my direction thinking that I might have been a zombie. I gave her a smile; she then recognised me and then dropped her gun onto the coffee table.

I went over with a smile on my face and sat next to her on the couch. "Hey Ellie what's wrong, I haven't seen you like this since the time you broke your arm and couldn't fix cars for a month?"

"I just want my sister, I just want Zoey here with me yet she's in New York and she might be dead or one of those things already. We got to go and just see if she's alive, she's the only one left in my family alive after mamma died." Ellis replied her voice almost breaking.

"Hey you got me and Dave don't forget that and we will always be here for you until the we die, so stop your crying and be the girl that we both know, the one that will never back down until she gets what she wants." As reassuring smile on my face.

I noticed that white suit (Nick) was watching from the background, I looked over at him with a glare he must of triggered something in Ellis to make her break down like this. Looking back at Ellis I noticed that her face was back again to a smile and of pure joy.

Ellis's POV

What Keith said was so nice if him and really stopped making me feel so upset about how much I miss my family and my sister.

TBC

Me: Sorry I took quite a while to create this thing. I had half of it done when I finished the first chapter and I really didn't feel like writing lately.

Alex: She's been drawing nonstop for months even the teachers can get her to stop at times and she just had her half yearly exams so that also part of it.

Me: And I've kinda gotten addicted to a few online games lately. So yeah Bye
