Chapter Two:

ANNIE'S POV

I looked out the window as the plane soared high over the earth. I thought about Auggie and Danielle back in D.C. I wondered if Danielle was making lunch for the kids or breakfast. What time was it there? I couldn't remember. Luke, The boy next to me on the flight, had fallen asleep a few minutes back. We were close to Oklahoma City now and I would hop on another plane to another airport and so on and so forth.

"Attention all passengers of Flight 2137 From LAX Airport to Will Rogers, Oklahoma City. We are going to be entering the city during a storm so please buckle up and stay calm." The Captain said over the intercom.

I looked at Luke as he shifted in his seat. I looked back through the window and saw dark clouds floating below the plane. It oddly enough brought back memories of Leena and when I was captured by the Russian Federation. It seemed like such a long time ago I had been shackled and locked up in the prison. If it wasn't for Auggie and the CIA I would probably have been dead. That was months ago though. This is a brand new year. 2013. We survived the apocalypse and moved onto a Golden Age. The CIA hadn't had a mission in three months until today and that was to make sure a Terrorist Cell hadn't been making A virus in Southern Los Angeles.

"Where are we?" Luke Yawned.

"Just entering Oklahoma City," I smiled.

"I was asleep that long?" He asked.

"Yeah," I smiled again. "And you snore,"

He laughed which I was glad about.

"So what do you do for a living, Luke?" I asked.

'm a Musician, I made videos for YouTube and I'm an ambassador for Nintendo." He said.

"Oh really? I didn't know YouTube was considered a job?" I turned in my seat.

"Well…" He started.

The plane bounced up in the air. I looked out the window and saw gray clouds flying past it. Thunder cracked in the distance and rain flooded over it. I looked at Luke. His green eyes were glowing in the dark skies. I looked back out and thought I saw something fly past the plane. I shook my head and bit my bottom lip.

"That was weird," He said.

"It was, Maybe I should go talk to the pilot." I started to get up.

"I'm going to need to ask you to sit down," A flight attendant said.

"No, It's okay. I just needed to ask the captain something,"

"Ma'am the Captain is very busy keeping the plane in the air, now please sit down."

INGRID'S POV

Lightning filled the sky as I turned into Luke's House. Dark clouds had taken over the beautiful blue skies. It all seemed surreal, like we were in a movie or television show. I heard thunder crack and sparks erupted somewhere down the street. I turned the engine off and ran into the house. Jason Munday was already outside when I ran up.

"Ingrid, What's going on?" He asked in his higher pitched voice.

"I'm not sure, apparently a pandemic is taking over the nation and is killing people and people are eating each other." I cried.

"Ingrid," Joey's voice came from the road.

I turned and saw him, Brittany and Whitney getting out of his car. They ran up to the Echo Base house. Jason and I caught them up on things and that's when we ran into the living room. Alex and Jon had the Television turned onto Channel 4 news.

"It seems the city is officially quarantined with the virus. The Disease had spread to most of North America. It's getting into the water supply next." The reporter had tears in her eyes.

I screamed as the camera fell over and blood dripped down it. The reporter cried as Zombies walked over to her. She pulled a gun out and pulled the trigger. Her lifeless eyes stared back with sorrow and remorse. I buried my head into Joey's shoulder and cried.

"We need to get out of this city," Whitney said.

"No crap Whitney," Joey Graceffa said sternly.

She looked hurt. I cried some more and walked into Luke's room. I found six bags scattered under his bed. I pulled them all out and the other's realized what I was doing. They ran to the various rooms and packed up their things. I pulled twelve books from Luke's shelf and but them in bags. I picked up tons of his clothes from the shelves near the door. I went throughout the room grabbing the things I thought necessary. I went into the bathroom and grabbed his toiletries too. I took them to the bags and threw them in. I even took chargers and both laptops. When I got to the living room with all six bags and computers I saw the other had plenty of bags as well.

"I called Cat, Sawyer, Tessa, Meghan, Tiffany Alvord and a few others. They should be here shortly with food and stuff." Jason said.

"I called Jim and Tayna in England and they aren't having an trouble there. Apparently nothing is getting out of America and the plague isn't getting England." Joey said.

"That's good," I said small.

They all looked at me and we sat down in the living room. I thought about all the crazy things that had gone on here. All the shows the bunch of us had watched. All the videos we had made. All the bonding we had shared. These people were my family. My family was all in Thailand until March so I was alone for the long haul. Luke… My Boyfriend was in Oklahoma City or in a plane not knowing what's happening.

"I just checked YouTube and our fans are blowing up the comments. Should we make a group video?" Alex Said.

"I like that idea, It'll be a goodbye…For now…" Whitney said.

I bit my fingernail and nodded my head when he looked at me.

LUKE'S POV

The storm outside was raging. According to the weather station on the Flight's in Plane TV's the storm had covered most of North America. We were one of the last's flights still up in the air until further notice.

"Well Mr. Ambassador," Annie joked. "Look's like we are almost to the City."

"Looks like it," I said looking over her shoulder and seeing Down Town Oklahoma City. The last time I had been here was in 2011 with Kristina Horner for ALL CAPS, my old band.

INGRID'S POV

"Hi," My voice sounded small. I was talking to a phone camera that would make a YouTube Video. "If you are watching this then you know about the plague and how we are all probably going to die. I'm here with Tiffany, Chad, Alex, Jason, Meghan, Brittney, Whitney, Joey, Jon, Cat, Sawyer, Tessa and Shawna. We are the last of Los Angeles's surviving people. We are going to go out into the world and try to find safety."

"We will all be vlogging to keep you updated," Joey said behind me.

"We love you all and we hope you make it through this, please make it through this, and know we love you all and…" I started crying and walked over to Joey who was biting the end to a hat with those pigtails.

I sat with him as the others all told their viewers goodbye. Then we all tweeted and made YouTube Statuses telling where to find the video. Random YouTuber before a Zombie attacks them: OMG!? You know Tiffany Ingrid? Was the first comment on the video? We all laughed, it was a sorrowful laugh but still.

Then the power flickered and we heard noises down the street. The boys all ran the things out to the cars and came back they looked worried. We took various weapons from the house and ran outside. I could see the first of the zombies up the street. They were bloody and covered in dirt and had looks of hunger on their faces. We jumped into the eight cars in front of the house and drove as fast as we could. I gave the house a final look before I drove off with Cat and Meghan in my car. We put in a CD and listened to it as we drove. When we reached the Freeway I saw cars and dead bodies everywhere. Blood was indeed filling the streets. I felt my tiny heart quiver as I thought about Luke. I looked at the car in front of me and drove.

ANNIE'S POV
We were landing into Oklahoma City. My ears popped as the plane descended onto the tarmac. Apparently the captain was having trouble hailing the control tower. When we landed on the ground I saw why. By the looks of it something big had happened here. Planes were crashed into each other and there were bodies everywhere. Our plane bumped as we hit some of them. my stomach lurched and I heard a few people vomit. We nearly did crash into the airport. The plane screeched to a stop and flung into the airport. We weren't anywhere near the gate. We would have to get out and walk to it. The lights turned off and we were in darkness. I looked out the now cracked window and didn't see a single soul outside.

"What's going on?" I turned to Luke.

"I have no clue," He confessed.

I pulled out my phone and powered it on. I typed in the code and called Auggie Anderson, my coworker and bestfriend. The phone rang and rang until it answered with a horrified voice.

"ANNIE!" Auggie screamed. "Zombies, CIA, attacks on the agency. Don't come here. Arthur is dead and they've attacking… Joan, freaking run!" The call ended.

I looked at Luke and had a horrible feeling in my stomach. I knew one thing was for certain. This was serious. Auggie never lied to me about these things.

LUKE'S POV

When we stepped off of the plane I heard them. They were loud screams from inside the airport. I looked through the window and saw people eating each other. Men and women and children were being killed inside. Annie was right behind me and she saw it too. That's when she told me to stay by her side no matter what. We were in this together. The Zombies had destroyed the airport.

"There is a police car just there. If we can reach the city I think we will be okay," She said.

Then we jumped with our carryon's and ran to the car. The other people in the plane stayed behind and cried. She jimmied the door open and we were in. I looked back at the plane as Zombies ran out to it. A couple saw us but we were moving before they could say BRAINS.

We sped into the City.

INGRID'S POV

We sped out of the City.
