Here is the next chapter. People please review.
Chapter Four-Brother
Zane P.O.V
It's been an hour since we had met Dec, Eelon, and Flare. We have been talking about our lives before the infection. Everyone was getting hungry so we checked what was in the hotel for food. We found bacon, eggs, coffee, juice, and pancake mix. Which was good because it's around 7:00 o'clock in the morning, so time for breakfast.
After we ate we decided to figure out new groups for getting supplies. My group now consisted of Me, Yasmin, Eelon, and Flare. Garth's group consisted of him, Lilly, Kate, Humphrey, and Dec. This didn't really matter right now because we have a lot of food in the truck and plenty in the hotel.
"Hey Eelon. Is there a way to the roof here?" I ask. He looks at me and motions for me to follow. Soon we are at a ladder. He starts going up and motions for me to follow him up. I followed him up like he said to. This was an awesome view from the roof. You could see mountains, fields, and cities. The bad thing about this view is you can see crawlers.
"So you had a pretty good life before all this happened." Eelon said. I just look at him then look at the crawlers I can see. "Ya I had a pretty good life, but that's just what I told everyone. There were some parts that I don't like to share." I say back. He looks at me then looks away. "Whats so bad about it?" he asks.
I just look at him. "My brother that's what is so bad about it." I say with anger. Eelon looks at me and smiles. "Your brother?" he says in question. "Yes, my brother. He was taken two years before the infection." I say losing my anger. He walks over to me and looks at me with a look of sorrow. "Man I'm sorry I didn't know it was like that." he apologizes.
"It's alright you were just curious. Now that you know about my brother might as well tell you how it happened." I say sitting down on a chair. He sits in a chair next to me and waits for me to start.
(Flashback)
"Hey Zane." my brother says. I look at him and stop walking. "Ya?" I ask. He stops walking too. "Where are we? I don't recognize this part of the forest." he says. I look around trying to figure out where we are. "Umm...I'm not sure." I say still trying to figure out where we are. I notice he is doing the same.
I take this as the perfect moment to scare him. I sneak around behind him and tackle him down a hill that I thought was small. Man I was wrong. "AHHH!" we are both yelling as we tumble down the large hill. While we are tumbling I hit a sharp rock. This gave me a large gash in my shoulder.
Once we are at the bottom I can see how bad the gash is. "Son of a bitch." I say in pain from the large gash which was bleeding pretty bad. My brother got a pretty bad cut on his left forearm. Not as bad as the gash in my shoulder though. "What the hell?" he asks madly. I look at him in pain. "Hey I didn't think it was that steep or big." I say. By now I've lost a good amount of blood, and am starting to get dizzy. To stop the bleeding I pull out my knife and cut a long strip off my shirt. After I do this I wrap it around my shoulder just above the gash and tie it off.
He sees my arm once I tie it off and looks shocked. "How did that happen?" he asks. I look at him then look up the hill. "I hit a pretty sharp rock on the way down." I say. I look around and see a road. "Hey lets go to that road over there and start walking." I say heading towards the road. He nods and follows me.
After about an hour of walking we are still pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Then I hear voices and think 'Finally'. That is until they see us. They come running at us and grab my brother. Instead of helping they start dragging him away. "Help!" I hear him yell, but before I can do anything to help my brother one of the men hits me in the back of my head and I black out.
(End of Flashback)
"What happened after that?" Eelon asks. I look at him. "next thing I know I wake up in the hospital with 38 stitches in my arm." I answer. He looks at me and then at my arm. "Can I see it?" he asks. I just look at him and take off my jacket and roll up my sleeve. "Holy cow." He says in shock.
"Wanna see the scar on my arm?" he asks. I look at him. "Sure." I say. He turns over his left forearm to reveal a cut about 6 inches long. It looked exactly like the one the one my brother got when we went down that hill. Then it hits me. The eyes, the color of his fur, the scar more than anything, and his name. Eelon is my brother I lost 2 and a half years ago.
"Eelon." I say. He just looks at me. "Ya?" he asks. I look at him and can't help but smile. "Did you have a brother?" I ask. He looks saddened by my question. "Ya, but like you we were separated 2 years before the infection. Then he must have realized it too because he just smiled. "I think your my brother." he says. I look at him. "I know your my brother." I say.
I can't help but tear up. I finally found my brother. Then with out even thinking about it I hug him. "I missed you bro." I say crying tears of joy. He hugs me back. "I missed you too. I missed you too." he says.
