"Is she alive?"
"What if she comes back and we're trapped here?"
"It's not a bite it looks like a stab wound, but be quiet we can't draw them to us"
Was all I could make out I was delirious and drifting in and out of consciousness my head hurt and my stomach felt like it was on fire. My body felt weak also and I felt drained of all energy.
"Do you think there all gone?"
"She's waking up and she has a fever" a women I suddenly became aware that there was a hand on my forehead and that there must have been at least three different people in the room with me.
"I think there all gone, we should make a move"
"We can't leave her to die!" somebody protested I moaned a little
"Somebody already did" A male voice yelled, I coughed as I struggled to sit up and my blurred vision became clearer I was in a room with five people. There was a young girl by the door maybe early teens, a five year old or younger at the end of the bed, an older teenage boy and a man and women in their late twenties. My breathing hastened and my heart rate became quicker and my head hurt as did my stomach, I sat up and got myself as far away from them as I could I nearly screamed for help but the older teenage boy put a large hand over my mouth to stop me.
"You need to calm down!" The oldest of the males told me placing the gun that was in his hand on the bed everyone else did as well, well everyone apart from the boy who had stopped me from screaming. On the bed in front of me was a variety of different weapons from knifes to screwdrivers to baseball bats what the hell was going on?
"Are you going to scream when I remove my hand?" He asked I shook my head as tears flooded my eyes, what the hell was happening?
The boy removed his hand and put his weapons with the others and stood next to the man. The boy was tall and rugged he was wearing a tight fitting and dirty, brown t-shirt he was wearing dark baggy jeans and his hair flopped over his face actually all these guys looked rugged and dirty their clothes seemed worn and there looked as though it hadn't been brushed or cut in a while. The older women decided to talk first her strawberry blonde hair fell to her waist and seemed knotted and dry.
"What do you remember?" She asked I closed my eyes and focussed on my last memory except there wasn't anything it was just blank
"I…em…I" I stuttered as I tried to remember but there was still nothing
"That's okay, what's your name?" She asked I shook my head some more I didn't know that either, I had no idea who I was nor did I have any recollection of what happened to me. I didn't even know who these people were
"You don't remember?" The teenage boy asked as he crossed his arms in disbelief, he laughed towards the end "perfect, just perfect" He muttered under his breath
"Declan" The man spoke angrily I looked around at these people,
"They're still out there?" The young girl spoke
"Who's they?" I asked not wanting to believe what had just happened, the man picked up a chart on the floor
"We're going to have to start from the beginning, Declan help your sister barricade the door we'll stay here tonight, and it's our safest option." The man spoke angrily still
"What's going on?" I asked desperately.
"The world ended" He spoke looking at me almost as if he didn't believe it himself "There's this virus and it brings the dead back to life if they've been bit" The man continued
"By what?" I asked
"Humans" He replied I laughed and so did the young girl
"There not human" the started saying before the man interrupted her
"Evie not now, not while Lucas is awake" The man pleaded with young girl she nodded and went back to barricading the door.
"I'm Jefferson and this is my wife Lindy" He pointed towards the strawberry blonde women, "This is our son Lucas" He pointed towards the five year old "Over there barricading the door is Declan and Evie, they're my younger siblings" He explained I looked towards all of these people still not knowing what was going on,
"Your safe with us, you have no need to worry" Jefferson explained further as he held out his hand to shake.
In the morning Declan and Jefferson went out to get supplies, leaving me with Lindy, Lucas and Evie. Evie and Lindy were packing up their things having a friendly conversation with one and other as I was left with Lucas sitting on the hospital bed
"What will we call you?" He asked
"What?" I asked distractedly
"He has a point, what would you like to be called?" Evie asked, Lindy was now paying attention too
"Do you have any idea about your name?" Lindy asked and I did I remembered a little about myself overnight not much a three letter word
"Cat"
