Though she spoke in a soft tone I could barely hear what she was saying. "I have to see if there okay. I need to see if some people are still alive."
"What is at this place and who are these people?" Her voice was a little harsh and louder.
"I left them behind." She looked up at the sky with the sun starting to turn orange as it slowly disappearing in the distance straight ahead. "Before the apocalypse started I lived in a very nice town. It was small but everyone new each other. I can't remember if I had a mother or a father. But this man that found me when I was just a little kid took me in. He was nice and treated me as his own daughter. You can say a girly girl being raised by a man is crazy. He had a shop that sold legal guns and every Sunday he would show me how to use them. I became a little tomboy to him as I am his only family. I was a very independent person back then. Never did talk to other people then the man that took me in. I remember this one day when I was walking by my self and kind of got lost. I turn the corner in an ally and I see figures walking toward me. They were black and I couldn't see anything. My heart was beating so fast that I froze not once moving. I tried not being scared and to be strong, but in side I was scared for my life. I didn't know what to do. So I fell to the floor covering my head with my hands as tears strolling down my soft cheeks. People in the town thought I was a devil's child because no one new what happen to my parents. So they thought I killed them. I thought that this was the punishment I dissevered. Then those people sounded like they were hurt or getting beaten by some one. As each one fell to the ground in pain, I felt as this was going to happen to me as well."
"But you didn't kill your parent's right?" Lieutenant laughed to her self.
"I don't remember. It's all a blur to me."
"So what happen next?"
"Well then I looked up as all I could see from my teary eyes was a woman's smile. It brought hope and courage in my heart. She then put her tinny hands on my head and told my 'Your father is looking for you. He is waiting at the house right behind you.' I looked behind and saw the old man who means so much to me opening the door. I smiled as I yelled 'Papa'. I turned my head as the woman started to walk away in the opposite direction. The last thing she said was 'Protect the ones you love and that's all you can do' and she slowly disappeared in the darkly night. Later as years past, I helped out at the shop so he didn't have to work so hard. When I was little when that night happened, something grew in my heart. I had a dream to be like that woman and to be able to save people who are endangered. Then this one day, I saw a woman in a military outfit. I was so amazed at how a woman was able to get in the military. Mostly its men that you usually see wearing them on. Then the woman looked at me and smiled just like that woman from way back then who saved my life. So I left town to able to grant that single wish come true. To serve for my country that could loss my life but able to protect the ones that I love is something I always wanted. After my years of fighting and experience in the military, I was on my way back home on a bus to visit. I guess during the time of my journey home, the apocalypse already started to show it's self. Just half way to what I call home was when we stopped for gas." That gas station must be where I saw her at. But how did she become the only one to survive I wonder. Why is this girl even getting in my head, I am so confused.
"Colonel, are you okay?" I shake my head as I try to ignore my own thoughts. I smiled at her.
"Yeah I'm perfectly fine, continue." She put her right pointer finger on her bottom big red lip.
"Where was I at again?"
"At the part about when you just arriving at the gas station." She stayed in her thinking position for a couple of minutes till a light bulb turned on above her head.
"Oh yeah that's right the gas station part." I just silently laugh to my self seeing this girl slightly showing her true self. "So we stopped at a gas station since one of the guys was about to crap his pants for not going the last time we stopped. As I was snooping around the town that we were at reminded me of home. The bad part of being in the military was we didn't know there were dead people walking around. So we didn't have any thing to protect us with. I guess I was to far away to hear all my friends slowly getting killed and eaten. When I did walk back to the bus, there was only silence. No movement then the sound of my breathing. I was getting worried till I saw one of my good friends name Chris who looked weird. There was so much blood that it stink so bad. Till I notice I was surrounded by zombies. I only notice one opening that I would might have a chance to get away. A zombie almost bit me so I screamed because I didn't want to die. I knew that there are people who really need my help out there. I ran and ran till I saw a figure which was you. So that's my story."
"That is still continuing." She looked at me with a shocked expression. "We will continue to help any one and to protect our country." As her smile grew bigger, she brought her fist up towards me. I smiled back at her as I to put my fist on hers.
Sorry for the short chapter, but i promise to make the next one longer hopefully!
