I sighed It wouldn't do me any harm to stay and I could always leave if I wanted to. But then again I needed to find my group. But on the other side if I stayed I could ask him questions about what the black rain did or about how long I was out. I looked back at him he had started getting out a pot and some vegetables when he looked back at me.

"Should I set you a place or no?"

I smiled "Yes, I'll stay thank you."

He chuckled "Great, I have a bathroom upstairs you could shower and by the time your done dinner will be ready."

He then turned around and continued what he was doing. He seemed like a decent human being. I nodded then walked upstairs. His home reminded me of the homes in Pennsylvania or at least a part of Lancaster Pennsylvania where the houses are real old timey to their functioning attics, black and white tiled floors, and the bathtubs with feet. After my shower I came back downstairs to where The man was just setting up dinner. He noticed me a few minutes after I walked in.

"Ah, there you are please sit down dinner is all ready."

I did as he said and he sat down with me. He made mostly vegetable based foods. It seemed correct since not many people could mate animals anymore. However another thing I saw was macaroni and cheese, I was pretty excited since I hadn't had food like that in forever. We started eating.

"I didn't know if you had any food allergies so just to be safe I stayed away from nuts."

I chuckled "It's okay I have no allergies."

He nodded and it was silent for a moment "What were you doing out all on your own?"

I looked up at him, what could I even tell him? "I got separated from my group and then lost."

He laughed "You must have gotten lost a long way to have wound up in the middle of nowhere."

I smiled "That's just my luck, How long was I asleep."

He shrugged "Two weeks."

I looked down to the floor "Oh" this surprised me if no one came for me by now, I would have to go find them.

He stopped eating for a moment "Here I am harboring you into my home and you don't even know who I am. I'm Trevor what's your name?"

I seemed to trust him so I went formal "Roberta, Ex-national guard."

He smiled " Nice name."

I was quiet again for a few minutes until I had to ask "What did the black rainbow do?"

He tilted his head in confusion at me "Ohhh you the fire?" I nodded "Well as you can see I live in a pretty remote area and so I don't really know exactly what it did but I did meet a passerby who gave me some theories, apparently long ago back when Noah left on his ark God drowned the world because he grew tired of seeing it get corrupt by bad people, after he did this however God felt remorse so he put the rainbow in the sky as a promise to never kill off the human race again. So this passerby's theory was that Black rainbow was either The Devil saying that he will kill us all, or God is going to kill us all."

I nodded "Let's hope neither are right." I looked up at him more seriously this time "Do you believe this is ever going to end?"

He smiled "I know it will."

I was kind of taken back after I ask this question most people respond with I hope so, or I have to hope so, or just plain out No, but this answer was a new one that sparked my interest. "How do you know?"

He then got up from his seat and took my arm. He brought me outside where we entered a shed. When we got inside it was way larger than it looked, on the outside it was old and dusty and full of tools and fishing lines. He then started walking around and told me to wait there. Suspiciously I looked around when I heard a small creak in the floor ground when he walked on it. He then dusted off the leaves from the ground of the floor and underneath it I could see a hatch. It wasn't locked. He then opened it up and it led down a ladder. He smiled and waved his hand signaling for me to come down with him, I climbed down the ladder and got the instant smell of air freshener. The room I was in seemed pretty harmless with a desk, chair, and a VCR T.V. I looked around more, it was strange there was nothing in the drawers and the desk had nothing on it. That's when I also noticed a steel door behind the staircase, but before I could check it out he led me to the Tv.

"Sit down I have got something to show you."

I did as he asked and made sure my hands were ready in case he tried something.

He then inserted a tape in the T.V and walked back to me.

"Do you know a man called The Murphy?"

I tilted my head in fake confusion at him "No."

"Well prepare to have your mind blown, He is the first man to survive getting bit by a zombie." Trevor said gleefully.

I realized I had to pretend to have no relations with Murphy or this could end badly. "Seems pretty far-fetched doesn't it?" I said with fake uncertainty

He smiled and then grabbed the T.V remote off the back table and turns on the T.V "Watch."

I look at the screen it's staticky for a moment but then I can see a man in a chair along with Murphy seated and tied up next to him. The room there has a back round with the words Dead Live posted just plainly in view. The video then starts and the man in glasses and curly hair speaks.

"Welcome to the National Institute of the Zombie arts. I am Dean Madeline, founder. I'm joined by the only known human to survive being bit by a zombie. Welcome."

The man then looks at Murphy awaiting his response, when Murphy says nothing he pulls out a black remotes and shocks him. Murphy then screams out as the bolts run through his body. It may not seem like it but I feel bad for Murphy, for a single human he endures a lot.

"As you can see, Mr. Murphy feels pain. At this stage of his evolution, his central nervous system responds to 50,000 volts. Welcome" He repeats agitated at Murphy refusing to participate, however Murphy reluctantly gives in.

"Thank you it's my pleasure to be here."

This goes on for a while until Dean gets up and walks off the stage. When he leaves, Murphy then tries using his powers to make one of the zombies untie his ropes with an electric saw, however Dean planned for Murphy to do this and comes back with the saw unplugged, and that's when Trevor pauses the TV.

"See! he is real."

I fake the feeling of shock "Wow, well that's pretty extraordinary but how does that help us or how do we know The Murphy is even still alive?"

He smiled "I have to believe he is."

I stand up "Well it's been a pleasure but I really should be on my way."

He nods "Before you go let me pack you some provisions, stay here."

He then leaves the room and enters the room with the steel door, when he exits he is carrying a black duffel bag and hands it to me "Thanks for the company, and if you ever see The Murphy send him my way.

I nod and get the hell out of there, I won't be coming back.

continue on to chapter 4

sorry this update took me so long between the events of after-Christmas I also have had a lot to do. But no excuses I will try to update quicker. Next chapter for a heads up will include Murphy, Doc, 10K, Sarge, and Warren + A little bit of other characters. I will try to add some good lines to the character 10K even though he isn't my main focus on this story I've found that a lot of the fans that are girls take a liking to him. I enjoy the character but I don't really see it. Again not hating I enjoy the character. Any who I will see you in the next update byeee -Grace
