I think I'm in L.A. I say I think because it's hard to make out any town or city now. Its three in the afternoon and I have to find cover before it gets dark. The outskirts of town should be safer than anywhere near the centre. There were a couple of houses that didn't have that much damage. One had boarded up windows which caught my attention. It was a three store light blue house, its the biggest house in the neighbourhood.
The sun was going down and that meant that the infected were going to come out soon. I had to get inside. I ran towards the house and headed to the backdoor. No harm in trying, but no luck. The door was locked and from what I could tell blocked off from the inside. Ok one window not boarded should be ok I think.
So I went to the small boarded window to the left of the door. From what I could tell it was nailed into the window frame, but damp and termites seemed to have been chipping off the sides. Hopefully I'll be able to get the board off better, so has hard as I would I pulled at the board until eventually it all came off. It was easy then to break the glass and as fast as I could I climbed in taking the board with me to put up against the window from the inside.
I let out a sigh and turned to find that I was in the kitchen. Stacks of canned food and bottled water were on the counters and floors, along with burnt out candles. Someone's in here. A survivor? Hopefully their still here and not dead. Just in case I took out a gun and knife from my bag, I held the gun and put the knife in a holder that was around my waist. I took a deep breath and listened, I couldn't hear anything at first the house was quiet but then with my vampire side I heard it. I could hear a heartbeat racing fast upstairs. Quietly I made my way up the stairs. I stopped on the second floor, and went right.
All the doors were closed. I made my way down the hallway slowly. I stopped at the first door on the right but heard nothing. The beating was coming from the left side. There are two doors on the left so they were in one of them. The first door was empty so they must be in the last one. Slowly and carefully I opened the door and there in front of me was a gun aiming for my head.
Holding the gun was a girl. She had black hair that was tied up and lovely deep blue eyes. But what I noticed about this girl was that she had a scar. This scar ran from her forehead to her left eyebrow. She was a survivor. Slowly I held my hands up one holding the gun.
"Wow take it easy, I'm not one of them ok. Just look at me my hair and eyes there not like theirs. I'm a survivor just like you!" I said trying to calm her down, then slowly she lowered her gun.
"Your not infected, your not one of them."
I shake my head in reply.
"I thought I was the only one left. I couldn't find anyone for two years. Since the infected I couldn't find anyone non-infected."
"What do you mean two years? It's only been one."
"No two. The breakout happened two years ago here."
"So America had the infection for two years and no one knew? It's only been in Europe for year." I whispered in disbelief.
"So your from Europe? You sound American."
"I am American but I've been in Italy for four years before the breakout, it was then my chance to leave."
She looked at me for a while then suddenly we heard a noise. It was a mixture between a growl and a scream. The girl darted into the room and lifted a lid from the window to look out. It was pitch black outside, were we talking that long? She closed the lid and began walking down the hallway.
"Their out and their hunting. Come on follow me."
She walked into a room at the end of the hallway and jumped towards the ceiling grabbing a rope and pulling down one of those folding ladders. We both then climbed up. This is where she stayed, I could see a bed and a heap of clothes along with water bottles and some food. We went over to the window were she grabbed the binoculars and looked out. I didn't need them I could see perfectly even in the dark like it was day.
"We have to stay here and be quiet tonight. Their running after some deer's I think down there. I never asked you but what's your name?"
"Renesmee. But call me Nessie, it's what my family calls me."
"Strange name Nessie but hey, I'm Alex."
Hey let me know what you think please.
