Where Do We Go From Here

Just in case if anyone was wondering, about the bitten situation, or how I chose who it happened to: I was talking to my friend about starting a story on Fan Fiction, and they asked what it was about. I told them it was about THE LAST OF US. And they were all like OH MY GOD! CAN I BE IMMUNE? And I was like, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE. But that's enough of the diva talk, back to the story. I now introduce part 4 of the new hit story on Fan Fiction:
Chapter 4: When the World Goes to Shit
Silence… that's all I can remember. The only sounds that could be heard, was the sound of sizzling flesh, as the burn pile slowly went up in flames. I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. As the looks of my friends went from shock to concern, I knew what was going to have to happen. All we could do was clean it, dress it, and try to slow the process as much as possible.
"What are we going to do?" Jessika's voice was tight with tears. "It's not like there's a cure or something."
"Well what the hell are we gonna do? We've got 8 people to look after, and one of them is INFECTED." James has gone too far this time.
"What if it was you? What if it was you who got bitten? Huh? Now are you going to start bitching over an accident that no one could have prevented, or are you going to get off your ass and start trying to help!? We've come too far to come apart now! And I'm not letting anyone fall behind! "
"Oh! So now I'm the one bitching?! You're not the only one losing a friend! Where do you think Kaitlin is? Dead! Oh wait, I'm sorry! I wasn't the one who had to go and get dragged off into the woods, and have to follow those THINGS, to save you!"
"Kaitlin's death was not my FAULT!"
"Will both of you just SHUT THE FUCK UP!" The sudden change of voice in Rebecca was enough to make us both jump into each other's arms like a married couple. As for a blood stained bandage, and an anger that I've never seen in the 12 years we've known each other, she's really coping with all of this very well.
"How did you get out of the shed?" Why we all went along with James' idea, we'll never know.
"So that's the way you treat infected people. Throw them in a shed, and wait for them to turn, nice way to treat a lady. And by the way, you should probably check the barn for any stragglers. I heard something snooping around in there." For having about a day left till she turns, she's pretty bad ass.
"You still didn't answer my question. What are we going to do?" James just can't seem to stay quiet today, and we really don't need another fight
"I don't know… honestly, I thought we'd never make it this far. The only realistic thing I can think of is wait it out, and make the best of it-"
"Ashlyn and Bransin are gone!" Debra's yelp of surprise startled us all.
"What? Where'd they go?" Now James is concerned. Dick.
"Did they leave anything? A note, some form of message, no goodbye?"
"Well there is this-"Passing me a small note, I read it out loud…
Dear Friends,
By the time you read this, Bransin and I will be gone. We plan on heading back to my house and try to live a normal life. We've made up our minds, and don't try to stop us. I'm sorry to say goodbye, with no formalities, but there's just no hope for us together. I've felt like dead weight since the 19th. I'm sorry it had to go this way, but I can't go on like this.
Hope to meet again soon,
Ashlyn and Bransin
"We are so gonna die." The words fell out of my mouth faster than I could even think of something positive to say. But I really can't see how we're going to survive the next few years. Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe there's still hope for all of us.
SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS SO SHORT. I've really run out of ideas for now, but I have a plan. READERS I SWEAR TO YOU: I WILL WRITE MORE!
