Elena watched as the soldiers were gathering everyone in the tent. She was quiet most of time when she had got the phone call from her brother. Soldiers had already had a few people in Germany in a safe zone. Word had spread that the infected had died from starvation during the 5 weeks. Elena was happy but she asked one of the NATO soldiers about the other survivors. The soldier couldn't give her answer at the moment which worried Elena even more. During her stay in Germany, she met a boy named Raekwon. Raekwon managed to stay cheerful most of the time. He had friends in Great Britain and he was in college. He went on a class trip to Germany. Raekwon looked like a child who was at least 12 but he was actually 20 years old.
"Elena, we are about to head to the airport then we are getting on the train to Great Britain."Raekwon said gathering his items. Elena said standing up wearing her jeans and converse. She had her hair in a ponytail and she reached over grabbing her bag.
"Okay, Im ready." She sighed following Raekwon to the plane. Raekwon looked at Elena, she had been quiet for a day or two.
"You okay?" Raekwon said looking at her. She sighed looking at the plane.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything from them. Its been twenty eight weeks." Raekwon went quiet and looked ahead to see all the survivors on the plane. Raekwon spoke again.
"Don't worry Elena, hopefully they are there."Elena was quiet now. They both boarded the plane. A few hours passed by and the plan landed at a airport in Great Britain. Elena and her family came here when they were going to the United States. It was quiet at the airport. Only soldiers were at the airport. Usually people would be rushing or resting at the airport. Planes taking off, people on there phones, noisy. But it was deserted. It was quiet, it was weird. There was debris on the runway. Everyone gathered there things walking off the plan. Elena and Raekwon were quiet most of the plan trip. Memories was rushing through her head The cool breeze hitting her face. The NATO soldiers had led them to a train station that was near the airport. Elena sat near the window seeing the city. It felt different than the last she had been here. But the streets were different. It was trashed. She could see debris, cars that had previously been on fire, trash went across the streets from the wind. Elena couldn't see not one person on the street. They were getting closer to a place called District 1. Elena looked see a large barricade, then there was another. The streets were cleaner now. There were snipers on the roof. There were coming toward a large apartment complex. It was large. Elena looked a few seats ahead seeing two children on the train. One was a small little boy and the other was a girl who was most likely a teenager. The train had stopped in front of the complex. Everyone had gathered there items and were going through a tunnel which connected to the apartment complex. They walked through it and Elena was walking next to Raekwon.
"It will be ok Elena." Raekwon said patting her back. Elena put on a fake smile still walking.
"Elena?" Someone said from the distance. Elena stopped right where she stepped. The voice sounded so familiar. Elena looked seeing a figure standing int he middle of the tunnel. Jeremy stood there wearing medical scrubs. Elena smiled running toward him. He put his arms out hugging her. She felt knots in her stomach. She hadn't seen her brother for weeks, she thought he was dead. Elena clenched onto her scrubs not wanting to let go. They both were crying now. Jeremy smiled.
"How did you get here?!"He said breaking the hug looking at his sister.
"I had no where else to go! What are you doing here? Why are you wearing scrubs? Is Mom and Dad okay?" She had so many questions to ask him.
"Slow down." He smiled.
"First we need to check you out. Make sure you aren't infected." Raekwon came up behind them. Elena smiled looking at Raekwon.
"Oh Raekwon, this is my brother Jeremy. Jeremy, meet Raekwon."He was on a trip in Germany when the infection spread out." Jeremy smiled. Raekwon smiled as well then asked Jeremy a question.
"So has the infection really be exterminated." Jeremy nodded.
"So far, thats what we know. London isn't how it used to be. But it took weeks to get everything like it is." Raekwon nodded.
"Raekwon, you might want to get your room and get checked by the other nurses and doctors." Raekwon nodded.
"See you later Elena."Raekwon walked towards the place where the nurses were checking everyone. Jeremy turned to look at Elena.
"Where is Mom and Dad?' Jeremy didn't say anything. His smile slowly faded away. They both stood there in silence. Elena broke the silence and looked back at him .
"How did they-" Jeremy hugged his sister.
"We can talk about that later." They both looked at each other and headed toward to check on Elena. They did the blood test, and checked her eyes.
"Alright, lets head to our room." Jeremy said smiling. She nodded and they both headed to there room.
"Its on the 18th floor." She smiled.
"We are way up there." Jeremy nodded as they went into the elevator. They reached there floor and walked out the elevator toward their room. Jeremy had his key card and opened the door. Elena walked in first and looked at the room. There were two double beds, a nice view of the London. There was a bar with a sink. Two bathrooms and its almost like a hotel room. She sighed laying on the bed. Jeremy got on his bed and smiled.
"Welcome home."
