Sorry about the late update, I've had so much darn homework! Anyway this is a short chapter, you knind of get to know a little about the new characters, and the sad bit...Zoe's reaction. (Hence the chapter's name 'Reactions'. Hope you enjoy! Please review! ~ Ella xx
There was still no sign of Dan and Chase. Zoe couldn't stop worrying, what if Dan didn't come back?, what if he was dead?.
"Zoe stop pacing or I'm going to be sick" said Kloe.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry I just hope Dan's okay" said Zoe.
"And chase?" asked Kloe.
"Yeah him too" said Zoe.
"Look Zoe, they'll be fine" said Aneisha.
"I'm sure their on their way right now" added Stella.
They'd got to the camp a few days after Dan and Chase left.
"Hey can I help?"asked Anna, one of the survivors, her and her sister, Christie were in Glasgow on a holiday when the outbreak occurred, they were then rescued by Rob and his son Connor.
At the camp there was Connor, Rob, Christie, Anna, Zoe, Aneisha, Kloe, Stella, Carl, Tom and Frank.
"Sure" said Aneisha.
"Everyone, can I have your attention?" Frank asked loudly.
They all turned and looked at him.
"We need to organize a run into the city soon, we're running out of supplies" said Frank.
Everyone's faces dropped, they knew that running into the city was a danger.
"I'll go" said Tom confidently.
"Tom, are you sure, you just got back?" asked Kloe.
"I'm fine" said Tom simply.
"I'll go too" said Connor.
"Me too" said Christie.
"Christie no" said Anna.
"I have to go, I need to pick up my weight around here, I'm fine" said Christie.
"I'm a good shot" she added.
"Well we don't need emotional goodbye's now, we have enough supplies to last a month, I just wanted you to know" said Frank.
"Good" said Anna.
"Carl come here" said Zoe.
"I need you to stay where Kloe can see you okay?" said Zoe.
Carl nodded his head.
"Good boy" said Zoe. She kissed him on the head and walked towards the tent.
"Shall I go and see if she's okay?" asked Aneisha.
"No, she's been really upset about Dan, crying all of the time, best not to disturb her" said Stella.
"Hey Aneisha, I think Connor has a crush on you" whispered Anna.
"Oh yeah? Well I think Carl has a crush on you" said Aneisha teasingly.
Anna opened her mouth, then shut it and splashed some water at Aneisha.
They both giggled.
"Wait, stop , stop" said Aneisha.
"What is it?" asked Anna.
"Can you hear that?" asked Aneisha.
"Yeah, wait it sounds like a car" said Anna.
Zoe obviously heard too, she came running out of her tent. Everyone gathered round for the reunion. The blue van came to a stop. Chase climbed out slowly, he had just lost his best friend, and now he had to tell his best friends girlfriend that he was gone, he already saw the panic on her face when she couldn't see Dan.
"Where's Dan?" Zoe asked quietly.
"Where the hell is Dan?" she asked louder.
"I'm sorry he didn't make it" said Chase glumly.
"No, no" said Zoe looking down, she began to sob.
"Your lying, I know you are...I bet he's in the back of that van" she said.
Zoe got up and started searching the van.
"Zoe, please" said Chase.
"NO" shouted a sobbing Zoe, she ran back to her tent.
"I tried..I tried" said Chase.
No one replied, they were all to sad to reply, Aneisha had tears in her eyes, Tom had his hands on his head, Frank went and sat on a rock looking at the ground, Stella went to stop Aneisha from seeing Zoe, Kloe and Carl, were already in a tent, unaware of the news and the new people, they didn't know him, but they did know he was special to them, to her.
