Chapter Two: The Camp

The drive to the quarry was quiet.

No one spoke a word as the car bumped along the rocky terrain. Leo and Kearon chatted quietly among themselves while i stared out the window. Tree's, tree's and wait more tree's. I sighed softly and looked at the two children next to me, the Morales children shared a seat, bunched up close to each other. Eliza was fast asleep against her brothers shoulder while Louis was reading quietly. Callie was next to them staring at her phone, there was still signal but no connection to any of our loved ones over in England.
In the front Morales and his wife Marina sat holding hands tightly, Marina glanced back occasionally to check on her children, while Morales was looking at his wife or the road. Catching my eye Marina smiled softly at me, i smiled sadly back, i hope it looked like a smile anyway.
Knowing me it probably looked like a grimace.
Soon came to a clearing that looked out on to a great quarry filled with water, there was a small beach type area where all the rocks must have ground together to form something similar to sand, there were rocks and then the surrounding area was tree's and cliffs. I got out, trying not to disturb the children and shut the door. Everyone that had followed us seemed like small families and friends. I watched Callie and Morales walk over towards Shane.
I wondered what would happen now.
I took another cigarette out of my packet and lit it.
It was a damn good thing i had these.
I heard the door creak open behind me and i stepped aside to let my brothers out.
I smiled at them, "Good sleep?" i asked.
Both my brothers nodded before Kearon tugged at my top.
Laughing softly i picked him up careful of the fag in my hand. Keeping it in my right hand to the side i smiled at him.
"Whats up little man?"
Kearon was quiet at first as he leaned his head on my shoulder.
"Are we going to be okay?" he asked.
I knew that i would do anything to keep them safe, i knew that nothing was ever going to happen to them but i didn't even know if we were going to be okay. I sure wasn't. Sighing softly i looked at him with a small sad smile.
"I will do anything to keep you boys safe," Pulling Leo into my side i cuddled them both.
"Nothing is going to ever hurt you two."
Kearon nodded into my neck while Leo smiled.
"For tonight everyone will be sleeping in the cars, then tomorrow there will be introductions and meetings about how we are going to make this camp work." Morales spoke approaching us.
"Okay, but we aren't all going to fit in here comfortably," Callie said.
Morales smiled, "Yeah I know, so the man with the RV, Dale, is going to let some of us in the RV." I nodded and nudged Leo.
"Me and Leo will go, Kearon you can stay here with your mum," I said, as Kearon's teary eyes peered up into mine.
"Are you sure Kelia?" Callie asked. I nodded and shifted Kearon higher on my hip.
"Yeah, let's get going Leo, I need my things."
Putting Kearon back on the ground he stepped closer to his mum.
Morales already had the boot open when me and Leo walked round to the back and we quickly grabbed our stuff. Staring at the swords, handgun and bows, I decided, Leo and I would keep one sword and our bows, Callie would get one and then Kearon would get our sword when I thought he could handle it. I looked down at the handgun for a moment before handing it to Morales.
"Here," Morales nodded and gladly took the gun back. I heaved my bag out of the boot, Leo doing the same.
"Thanks," I whispered to Morales.
He smiled, "No problem, I'll take you over to the RV. Marina," He called softly over to his wife who popped her head up over the car, "Get the kids sorted and help Callie please, there should be blankets in the back." Marina nodded and she and Callie got to work. I waved to them as me and Leo walked over to the RV my bow tight in my hands, scanning the tree line slightly, I was on edge now.
"Are you okay, Kelia?" Leo asked, I turned to look at him.
"Yeah, just cautious," I whispered back.
Morales stopped in front of the RV, in the doorway stood an elder man. He had a hat on his head; to me it looked like a fishing hat.

He smiled, "Hi, I'm Dale," I smiled at him, "Kelia, this is Leo, thanks for letting us stay in your RV," Dale shook his head.
"Its fine," I nodded and looked over at Morales, "Thank you," I paused, "For everything," I added quickly.
"It's fine, just have a good night sleep." He looked over at Leo, "You too kiddo," Leo nodded as Morales turned and walk back over to his car. I could faintly make out Kearon in the back, curled up next to his mum.
"Come on in, I bet your hungry, I'll see if I can find you something?" I looked back at Dale, who was motioning towards the RV. I nodded and followed Leo up the stairs.
Once inside I saw the two women again, one looked younger than me, one slightly older. "Andrea, Amy this is Kelia and Leo, you two, this is Andrea and Amy," The younger one stood up first and came over and gave me a one armed hug, "Hi,"
"Hi," I said back, slightly taken back by how outgoing she was. Dale smiled at me before shutting the door and heading to the kitchen. "What would you like?" Dale asked, opening the cupboards.
"I'm okay, Leo is hungry though, I could hear his stomach rumble from here."
Andrea and Amy laughed while Leo glared at me.

"Good, Leo come over here, you can have a look," Leo handed me his bag and the sword and walked over to Dales kitchen.
I sat his bag on the small chairs around the table, mine along with it. I still kept my bow in my hand though and then laid the samurai sword on the bags. I didn't need them.. yet.
"Whoa, is that a sword?" Amy asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, I thought it would be good protection, silent as well. Have a look if you want," Amy smiled, "Thanks," she reached over and began to have a look, sliding the sword out of its case.
"So Kelia, how old are you?" I looked over at Andrea who was sat in the passenger seat.
"26,"
"And Leo,"
"15,"
"Do you have any other family?" Dale asked. I watch Leo tense.
"Yeah, my dad's ex-girlfriend Callie, and Kearon's my half-brother," I paused, struggling with my words.
"We… had to put down the rest of my family earlier….today," I whispered my hand reaching for the necklace around my neck. Twirling the little charm between my fingers.
"I'm sorry," Dale murmured looking down at the sandwich he had made. I smiled sadly at him before looking at Leo's face, his eyes hollow as he thought back today. "No, it's okay, you didn't know."
"Well, I think we have all had so much drama for one day, how about we call it a night." Andrea supplied.
"Yeah," I whispered.
"Well, I'm all for letting Kelia and Leo have the bed," Dale added. "I, no, I can't kick you out of the bed," I protested.
"No, it's okay, I can sleep in the driver's seat, had to do it enough times before." We all chuckled except Leo.
"Well at least let Andrea or Amy stay with us, I'm not letting one of them sleep on the floor." Dale smiled and looked between the two women.
"Who will it be ladies?" he asked.
"Amy can, I'll be fine in the passenger seat." Andrea answered. Amy giggled and smiled over at me. I grinned back.
"Thank you," I said to Dale, he smiled.
"My pleasure."

My eyes fogged over as i sat up slightly, leaning on my right shoulders and squinting at the sun blaring through the blinds. The sun peaked over the mountains, coming up just over the tree's.
I was never good with time. Being an English woman my body clock was wracked. Maybe 5 or 6 am.
It looked like it anyhow.
Sighing, i lay back and stare at the ceiling, i could hear Dale and Andrea talk lowly from the kitchenette area. It must be earlier enough for the camp to be awake. I looked over at Leo. Curled up near my side, head burrowed in the pillow. I know he was 15, but he was a mommy's boy, and seeing his mum like that.
I knew it killed him.
I sat up slowly, trying not to disturb Amy and Leo before I slowly crawled out of the bed. I pulled my hair out of its bun before redoing it, a lot neater then it was two seconds before. I quietly slid over to my bag, opening it and digging around for my cigarettes, I found them near the bottom and quickly took one out. Fishing around again in my bag for a lighter i fished one out and crept out of the bedroom.
"Morning Kelia." Spinning round in a second, I calmed my erratic heart as I saw Dale stretching and heading towards me, "Morning," I mumbled back.
"Sleep well?" he asked as I walked over to the door.
"Yes thank you again, I'm just going to step outside," I said holding up the smoke.
Dale nodded, "Be careful," I nodded snatching up my bow and quiver before stepping out. I didn't see anyone else from camp awake apart from the two men from yesterday. They sat inside their truck, smoking. I snorted and lit my own then took a drag. For everything that was going on in the world, the morning was peaceful, calm. Beautiful. The quarry glistened below and the tree's swayed with the gentle breeze that ruffled my hair. Small trundles of hair that tickled my face. Today we were going to be organising the camp. I wasn't looking forward to meeting people but for the sake of surviving I knew i had too, safety in numbers right. It just a shame that those numbers didn't include my family. Sighing I took another drag when a car door opened. I looked over at the Morales car to see Kearon getting out. He must off spotted I was up because he came racing over towards me.
"Kelia," he exclaimed. I smiled and knelt down as he reached me.
"Kearon, you should have stayed in the car, it could have been dangerous out here." I lightly scolded.
He frowned, "But I looked around, there was no one there, so that's why I ran over." I huffed quietly.
"I know but someone could have been behind the car, a..." i paused, what would i call the zombies? No, something else.
"Walker?"
Looking down at my brother and smiled, "Yes, Walkers," he laughed and i pulled him into a one armed hug, which he returned fiercely gripping my top.
"Don't leave me," He whispered, and I chuckled. "I will never leave you,"

When the sun made its way higher in the sky, more people slowly made there way out of their cars. Some taking cautious steps and glances around the camp. I watched from the steps of the RV. Kearon sat on the floor in front of me drawing on some paper Dale had found him. Leo was over at the closest tree practising his aim. The two Dixon brothers watched him from afar, finally stepping out of their truck. The smaller one, watched his aim, watched the way he pulled back the string. He analysed my brothers actions.
While the other one was standing over with the adults nodding ever so often at the discussion. All that made me look over at him and smile slightly was because, well, he was as high as a mother fucking kite. Yes, i said it. He swayed, spoke with more vicious comments than last night and above all he couldn't keep this face eating grin off his face.
Idiot.
I bet the others knew he was, but no one said anything. I was waiting on Shane, a cop, to speak up but he merely watched the drugged man sway and shout out his opinions.
Tutting under my breath, i looked over at the 'Adults' talking. Rolling my eyes i watched them discuss what was all best for us and our survival. I wasn't a child, why did people think to treat me like one, i think i was more mature then half the people there.
Fishing a fag out of the packet dangling in my hands i stood and walked a little ways away from my brother, he looked up at me with questioning eyes and i shook my fag in the air. Nodding, quickly looking around and over his mum, knowing he was safe the boy carried on his doodling. From what i could see it was someone killing the 'Walkers' as we had begun to call them.
Sighing softly took a drag of the lit fag.
It was such a nice day and we are spending half of it worrying about silly things, we should have had camp set up now. Straightening with determination i stormed over to the arguing adults.
"What is taking you so long," whispered angrily staring at each and every one of them.
Callie whistle softly and took a step back while the others looked confused, stepping forward Shane went to speak before i cut him off, "You lot think this is going to blow over quickly your wrong we need to look at the bigger picture, we need to pool the food sources, get a perimeter around camp, have arranged in a way were we all have access and escape points, all your arguing about if what happens next," pausing i stood up to Shane. "Instead of worrying about the future worry about whats happening now,"
Stepping away Shane sighed, "Your right,"
Laughing softly, "I know i am," throwing my fag on the floor at his feet he looked at me, "Stop treating me like a child."
"So, I feel the best thing is for everyone to bring an inventory on what they have got, in weapons, food and other bits so that it can be shared out equally." Shane said.
Even though it was all my idea he was the only one that really stepped up as leader.
The woman and child standing next to him were Carl and Lori, there names familiar. I sighed strangers names seemed like that, why did i feel like i was missing something.
I met a few other people; the only one I really remembered was Glenn because he was around my age. He joked with me, but he kept all seriousness as well. It was nice. Comforting.
"I agree, but I also believe the kids should get extra when it comes to food," Callie answered. "I agree," Lori spoke up smiling over to Callie.
"Everyone else," Everyone else nodded and Shane smiled. "Good, let's get camp set up,"
