Hey guys! So sorry for the long delay! School is first on my mind currently because since I'm a senior this year I have been busy making sure I have everything before I graduate. So I finally got to write! Hope you enjoy!
I don't anything Walking Dead related, only my OCs and their stories.
Wha-What is on my lap? My eyes opened slowly for the sunlight pouring into the room hurt my eyes. Looking down I saw Nathaniel… Oh yeah. Poor Boy. I heard shuffling coming down the hall, and there was Riley and Abby holding hands and rubbing the sleeping out of their eyes. Those girls have always been close, since they were babies actually, no matter how much they fought growing up they still continued to be each other's best friend.
"Riley. Abby. How do you both feel?"
"Hungry" Abby grabbed her stomach in the process and sheepishly grinned. I lightly smiled back at her and proceed to lift Nathaniel's head from my lap and put him back on the bed.
"Come on. I'll go cook us some eggs." We all walked into the kitchen and I looked at the time. 9:05. I'm not letting them go to school right now, yesterday was too much, I'm not risking their lives. Riley opened the fridge and got out the eggs and milk while I got a bowl and whisk. "Abby can you get the bread and start to make toast please." So we proceeded to make breakfast and tried to make a lighter mood from yesterday.
Then Nathaniel came out of Abby's room right as I was turning off the griddle. "Hey. What are you guys making?" He smiled over at us, but it still didn't seem to reach his eyes.
"Um. We're making eggs, bacon, and toast. Here we're about to sit down, come on." As everyone sat at the table I set out the eggs and bacon on a plate in the middle and we all proceed to serve ourselves and eat. As we ate we could hear multiple helicopters fly over the house, reminding us what was happening.
As Nathaniel and I cleaned the dishes we had the tv on the news station and I had moved the girls in Abby's room to play. I didn't want them to see what was happening probably right outside our door. They had footage of the military coming in and shooting all those…. Monsters. It looked like something big was going to happen soon, and it looked like we couldn't stop it.
"Alert! We have just been informed that the illness is getting worse and that an evacuation order has been established. All those who aren't infected need to go the current camps the military has step up for refugees." Nathaniel and I looked at each other in panic and ran to the tv for the information, "Please if you're listening please go to these camps, it's your only chance of survival-" The tv then shut off. Well more like all the electricity shut off.
"W-Wait. He didn't say the address to go to!" I looked at Nathaniel and he looked back. We both knew we had to leave right then and there. "You get your sister's and yourself packed up and I'll get my stuff then come back to pack food and water." I nodded at him and took off to Abby's room. There they were playing without a care in the world.
"Abby. Empty out yours and Riley's backpacks and tell me when you're done." I ran to my room and changed into a blue t-shirt and black pants. I proceed to shove clothes into my own emptied backpack and looked around. I might not ever see this place again. I grabbed a family picture we took at Christmas and shoved it into the bag. I looked around, maybe I should take a small blanket just in case. Abby called for my name and I walked out of my room and proceeded to walk into her room. I just packed stuff and tried to avoid the skirts and dresses. I don't know what kind of environment we will be in, but them having to wear a dress would be difficult if they had to run somewhere and they need to be fast.
The sound of the door opening and closing rang through the house and then I thought, was that my mother? I ran to the front, but only found that it was Nathaniel… Where is my mom? Ugh this is not the time to think about that right now. We have to get out of here. He ran over to the pantry and started to stuff random canned items into a crate we had laying around. I ran over to Abby and Riley and proceeded to put their backpacks onto their person. In the background I could hear Nathaniel going outside and shutting the door in the process.
I brought Abby and Riley closer to me, "Now both of you listen to me. This is a very serious situation that we are in and I really need you to do exactly what I say. There are these things out there that will hurt you. It doesn't care if you are children, and we have to stay away from them as much as possible. If Nathaniel or I tell you something you must do it. If those things get Nathaniel or I you MUST run. Do you two understand that?" They both nodded with watering eyes so I pulled the two into a hug. "I promise I will get you both out and safe."
How could I have told them such a lie?
"Alex we need to go." I felt Nathaniel grab my shoulder lightly and I nodded. "Here take them to the car Nathaniel." The girls went without question while I stayed back and took in the situation. 'What the fuck am I going to do?... Mom please…. I need you. Where are you?' Wiping my misty eyes I looked around at the house that my siblings and I grew up in, trying not to think about my dad and older sister in the backyard. Tears could be felt rolling down my face as I tried to wipe them away. This is a new world it seems. But I have to be there for my family. Not matter what.
Because I love them…. I would do anything for them.
Hey guys! So so sorry I haven't posted in months!I actually started writing this while I was still in school so like in May I think. I was worrying about school and wanted to make sure everything was in order for me to be passing with the grades that I wanted. But it is now summer and I am officially out of school(for now) so hopefully I will be posting more because I don't do anything all day. Hope you guys are still there and are reading. Thanks and have a wonderful day!
