It is March 13 so we have 10 days until we leave. We have been hunting about two days a week but near the end of our time here we hunted more to get extra food for the trip. Also we wanted to surprise Ashlyn as she turns 20 years old.
One day I saw Kaitlin standing by a tree for a long time as if she is carving the tree with something.
"Hey what are you doing?" I asked as I walked up beside her.
"I am craving the band heart into the tree so after we are done in Canada we can come back here and this will be our marker to know that this is our island." She says in a happy voice.
"Ok it sounds perfect!" I smile because I can only think that people can die on this trip.
Once I get back on the boat after having a nice little walk through the forest everyone is in a huddle in the corner of the upper deck whispering, but once I got closer they all turned around like nothing was going on.
"What is going on and why are you all whispering?" I asked confused of what they were doing.
"Oh we were just discussing the trip." James said.
I couldn't tell if he was lying so I just ignored it. Later we all sat down for lunch and talked about all the zombies we are going to kill. My greatest fear at the moment was seeing any more of my friends die at my hands since I am having them come and get supplies to keep them alive.
The next few days we hunted and gathered berries, so now it is March 17and we have 6 more days here. So here soon we are going to have to pull up the anchor then try to turn the boat into the deep blue water.
The days went by fast but as it got down to the last few days we started to pack up all of our belongings so we can travel. Then on the last night being safe on our island we all sat in a circle telling stories and trying not to think about what will happen tomorrow.
It is finally March 23 and it is time to leave. Everyone is nervous but we pull up anchor and start to turn our ship towards the open sea. We relax for a while because to get to the main land will take about one full day. The boys stayed in this one group talking for a long time while us girls just hung out and talked about how it will be to kill some more zombies instead of animals.
"So how many zombies do you think we'll kill?" Ashlyn asked eager to destroy the things that took away our home.
"I think we will probably kill over a hundred of them." Jess replied smiling.
"I agree because near shore of Canada there is a town so there must be a lot of them so we can kill and grab what we want." I say to let them know I am better than I was about two weeks ago.
"Good then it's settled we all get to kill some and not just the boys." Alyssa says loud enough so they hear.
"Shh, they don't want us knowing what they are talking about so why tell them." Kaitlin says quietly as if to show her how to be quiet.
"Fine but it's not fair, they have been over there talking for hours." Alyssa comments.
"I know but we'll probably find out later." Ashlyn says.
Then after our long wait we finally see land and everyone is in a big group but us girls still don't know what the boys were talking about yet we will probably have to find out on our own.
That night we drop anchor so at dawn tomorrow we can get in closer, then attack them by surprise. So we all get in some sleep with the boys taking turns keeping watch.
At dawn everyone is wide awake while we slowly crank up the anchor and being quiet as a mouse. Then Bransin guides the boat into the long dock where the water is deep enough to keep the boat. Once we are parked we try to decide on the people to guard the boat just in case the zombies come out from hiding and decide to get on the boat.
Finally after many different decisions we all decided that Jess and Trent would stay on the boat. That was the end of the discussion.
The rest of us sneak off the boat and into the stores with our knives and guns out so we are ready to shoot. The first store we go into is the food market which surprisingly still had a lot of food. We grabbed lots of bottled and jugged water, meat, fruits, vegetables, powdered milk, cereal, pots/pans, bowls, plates, utensils, and some other kitchen or eating supplies.
"Alyssa, take these back to Jess and Trent." I say quietly.
"Michael, go with her so no zombies get her and we will be in the clothing shop." I tell him.
We head to the clothing store where we spot about five zombies walking around. We split up into two groups so we can sneak up on them and cut their heads off with our knives so none of the other zombies hear us.
Ashlyn and Bransin get the first two zombies, Kaitlin cuts off the third zombie's head in one swipe, and then Jared and I take the last two. Once they were dead we each shopped in groups and by this time Alyssa and Michael are back to get some clothes too.
"Alyssa and Michael can you get Jess and Trent clothes since you know them better?" I asked and they agreed too.
"Alright now don't grab too much because we only have two people taking these back." I say loud enough for everyone to hear but quiet enough to where the zombies can't.
Once everyone got their clothes and put them in bags, James and Kaitlin took them back to the boat. We only have a couple of more stops. Next we go to the gun shop for more ammo and guns, this stop didn't take long since it was cleared of zombies and the people who were here first took most of them. Jared and I took these back while the rest of the group went into a hotel to grab some pillows and blankets to have some comfortable stuff to use to sleep instead of the thin blankets we have. By the time Jared and I get back everyone has everything and the stuff was big so I sent Ashlyn, Bransin, Alyssa, and Michael to take it back since the pillows and blankets were huge.
Then our last stop, the gas station so we can get some gas for the boat and we needed batteries with some other tools in case something breaks which the gas station had which was weird but I didn't care at the moment. When all four of us walked in the store after getting gas there were six zombies eating two people. Jared and Bransin took out two each which left one for Ashlyn and me. I easily took the ones head off while Ashlyn stabbed it in the back and then in the head.
After we were finished we all grabbed our things and headed back to the boat. Once we got there everyone was shooting. Then I saw them the Dead Killers. They were attacking everyone but so far none of my friends were injured. Since the Dead Killers didn't see Jared, Bransin, Ashlyn, or me yet we snuck up behind them and killed them with our guns and knives. Then we ran back to the boat to see if everyone was ok.
"Is everyone ok?" I said.
"Yeah we are all ok and ready to leave." Kaitlin answered for everyone.
"Alright pull up the anchor and lets' leave." I say to the boys.
They pull up the anchor and we were back on our journey.
