We were finally in Massachusetts, and I was exhausted! We have word from our radio that the closest resistance group is in a highschool, not far from here, so we'll leave in a couple hours. I figured out that there are 32 of us in our little Texas group, but around 300 in the resistance group. They call themselves the 2nd Mass. I went exploring in a house down the road, and I found Some sturdy boots that might help me in case we have to make a break for it, and a sniper rifle, with tons of extra ammo and a few hand guns. And just to think that 1 week ago I was a girly-girl!

"Hey, we're gonna leave in sec, so you otta come back to base." said a gruff voice behind me. It was the leader.

"And by the way my name is James."

"I'm Bree. I'll be there in a sec. Oh and you might want this." I said , tossing him a hand gun.

"Thanks." He left and I followed shortly, jumping into the trunk of a truck. The ride was slow... and peaceful. Almost boring, it had been a while since I've been bored. It took us about 3 hours to get to the school, and when we finally pulled up, we were all giddy with exitement. The first man to greet us was Captain Weaver.

"So I hear that you all have come from Texas, welcome to the second mass!" A murmer of thank you's started and the captain let out a small smile. Next was Tom Mason, who seemed like a relly great guy. He had two of his sons, Hal and Ben, show us around the place. My half of the group got Ben. I drifted towards the front of the group, where Ben was leading everyone around, and he seemed to notice the sniper rifle I had strapped to my back.

"Where did you get that?" He said in a friendly tone.

"Back where we landed." I mumbled, in a shy manor.

"Do you know how to shoot it?" He asked. I think he was trying to suggest he teach me how.

"I was planning on figuring it out once we got settled in."

"I could teach you if you want."

''Thanks."

''I see your not very talkative, are you?"

"I used to be. Before all this." He nodded as if he was saying I understand.

"Whats your name? I'm Ben."

"My names Bree.''

''Well here's where you'll be staying, see ya round?'' I just nodded.

I plopped down on the bed and fell asleep.

I sat there watching a re-run of my favorite TV show, snacking on cookies in a pink plastic bowl.-BOOM-

''Mom what was that?''-BOOM- The ground shook, I started panicking,

"Mom?''-BOOM-

''Bree, go pack up, we're leaving, get as much stuff as you possibly can!''-BOOM-

''Why do we have to leave!" I had woken up from yet another nightmare, I glanced at the clock, it was only 2:00 in the morning. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.
