What a cute dog. I thought as I sat on my bed in the over crowded tent that was serving as my temporary home. I had been at the refugee center here in New York for a day now and more and more people just kept pouring in.
I keep looking toward the entrance hoping for my family to come through. Sadly no such luck. My little sister Ruby and my Grandparents and I had gotten separated a few days ago just on the outskirts near the harbor.
"I like your tattoos" A female voice said. I turned and looked and smiled at the young girl who was around 10 or 12 and happened to be the owner of the dog I was admiring. She was currently staring at my right arm that was covered in a sleve tattoo of the Greek Gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
"Thanks. I like your dog." I said back a little weary.
"I'm Mia. Whats your name?" She asked sitting on the bed next to me.
"Charlie." I said smiling a little.
The girl then proceeded to talk my ear off for the next hour telling me how she and her mom were visiting New York when the apocalypse happened and how her mom was off trying to find food.
I sighed and started to daydream a bit as she kept talking.
"Charlotte O'Donnell" The man said after I handed him my ID.
"Charlie" I said.
"Right" The man said handing me back my ID "Go head over to the medical check then you'll be assigned a room if you pass."
"Thanks so much" I said sarcastically as I walked away.
. . .
"Alright miss O'Donnell you're all clear. Your tent number will be 11 and your bed is number 8." The women who looked me over said. I gave her a thank you nod and walked off.
"Hey baby!" A mans voice yelled. I just rolled my eyes and continued walking. I was used to the sexual remarks men often gave me. Being 5'4 sucked most men thought they could just push me around and always regretted it when I beat the shit out of them. I adjusted my gym back that was filled with clothes' some food, my bow and arrows and a set of throwing knifes.
. . .
"I've gotta go" Mia said hopping off my bed.
"Ok bye" I said and waved as she walked off towards a women who I assume is her mother.
I sighed and laid down and waited for any news on the outbreak.
It started a month ago. It was spotty at first an attack here and attack there nobody thought much of it I mean it looked so fake there was no thought of preparing nothing. Now.. well I'm here.
Sighing I get up and walk out of my tent. It's around sunset and it's still busy with people walking everywhere and talking. It reminded me of being at the fair just not as happy and with no rides.
As I walked around some people tried talking to me others just ignored me which I was fine with. I don't like people. Well I don't trust them. I had two friends growing up and didn't bother making any others because we moved so much. Being a military kid sucked at times. I do wish it lasted longer though.
"Hey do you know where tent number 15 is?" A girl with a thick braid and glasses asked.
"Do I look like a worker?" I snapped.
"Whoe sorry. It just looked like you know where you were going" the girl said taking a step back.
I squinted my eyes at her and looked her up and down noticing her bright colored shoes.
I flipped my head to the right and said it was over there. She said thanks and quickly scampered off.
I miss my sister. She understood my put off personality and my lack for other people's feelings. Except for the ones I love. But hardly any of those were left.
Sitting down at a bench I looked at everyone running around and feel incredibly lonely. I really need to find my family.
. . .
