Chapter 4

*One month before the infection*

We were ordered to evacuate the state, as it turns out, a massive hurricane was coming our way and from what people were saying, it was gonna be bad. My mom and dad packed as much stuff as we could in both of our cars and we left our house. Our car barely made it through the flooded street, and as we evacuated to Tennessee, leaving everything behind us. The cities around us got hit worse than we did, so when we came back our house it was still in tact... Along with most of the city. I was just glad it was all over.

*Present*

We all had our gas cans and were ready to head back, I sighed at the feeling of the room being even emptier without Darcy, I'm sure Max felt the same. Rochelle led us out of the safe room, back into the diner. The rain fell harder outside, visibility was limited to one foot in front of us, "We can't get separated." Gina said,

"Stick together." Nick agreed. We stepped out into the rain and lightning, to the edge of the cane field,

"Come on." Coach went ahead, we stayed close.

It went well until two smokers pulled Nick and I in different directions, I heard a hunter pounce someone and a Spitter made it impossible for anyone to save us. I tried to break free from the smoker but it didn't work, I was screwed. The smoker started choking me, I tried to breathe but it was no use, an evil laugh sounded from the cane field, "Sh-it." I choked out as Bianca landed in front of me,

"Hows it hangin?" She laughed at her horrible pun, "You know, it was too easy, your friend was a tough opponent... But I was stronger." She threw a black hoodie in the mud,

"Y-ou bitch." I gasped,

"Save your breath, you don't have many left." she laughed.

Suddenly I fell to the ground and something grabbed her and tossed her into the field. I coughed and looked up to see Max holding out his hand, "Thanks Max." I grabbed his hand and pulled myself up, "Where are the others?" He pointed to my right, "Good." I picked up Darcy's hoodie and handed it to him, "We'll find her, don't worry." He nodded and we regrouped with the others.

Aria was knelt down next to someone which I saw was Nick, he was badly injured, like, worse than the witch attack. Everyone was standing around them, "C'mon Nick." Aria was crying and trying to heal Nick, he was alive, but barely,

"We have to go." Coach said and picked up Nick's unconscious body. Seeing him injured like that made me want to cry, Nick was my friend... Like the annoying friend no one wants to be around. We went back to the elevator and crowded in, Max decided to save us some space and climb the building. I looked over and noticed Aria was holding Nicks hand, Ellis then proceeded to grab mine.

When the elevator stopped Max was standing around a bunch of dead bodies, "Nice one." I gave him a thumbs up, he smiled.

We headed back the way we came, trudging trough knee-high water, "Ugh, we're almost there." I said as we went back through the dilapidated building and into the safe room.
