I crept up to a body and braced myself.
"IVY STOP!" Hannah yelled. Crap.
The body turned around and lunged toward me. Time stopped.
Jake was too busy stabbing the brains out of another.
It was my time to save myself.
Go for the head.
I wrapped both hands around the knife and plunged the blade into the creatures head.
It went limp and tumbled down.
The feeling was weird, like cutting open a watermelon, but 10x harder, it's blood spewed all over me and it stunk so badly, I couldn't stop gagging.
Little did I know I'd be killing a lot more creatures.
Jake finished off the last one and Hannah crawled out of the car.
"What where you thinking?!?" Hannah yelled. Jake hushed her.
"She did good, you need to start killing Hannah, you need to be independent, she has a chance." Jake looked at me and nodded.
Hannah sighed loudly and walked over to the nearest car.
"Be carful." Said Jake.
We each started looking around and Hannah found large brown paper bags.
Jake took out a long hose from his trunk and began filling milk gallons with gas from the cars.
~3 Hours Later~
The summer heat was beating down on us but we kept looting, sweat was pouring off of me and I wanted to take a break.
We had gallons of gas, and tons of little packages of food( like candy bars and peanuts), bottles of sodas, and every medical supplies known to man.
We loaded the supplies into the trunk of his truck and climbed in, this time, I sat in back with Hannah. We went around the blockage and began our journey once again.
~two days later~
We where close to Montana according to Jake. We stopped at nights and slept in the car, which was parked on the side of the road, we past so many creatures,
We were driving when I saw a figure ahead of us, at first I thought it was another creature, but when we got closer, jake slowed down when we got closer.
The truck came to a stop and jake rolled the passenger window down.
"Hey you! Need a group?' Jake yelled.
All of a sudden the door opened and the figure came into the car. I was in the seat right behind Jake and so I glanced over the passanger seat. It was a boy. Around our age.
"You bit?" Jake asked the boy.
"no."
"You have a group?"
"Gone."
"How old are you?"
"15."
My eyes widend.
He was REALLY handsome, and only a year older than me. Hannah poked my side.
"Hes cute." She whispered. I nodded and smirked.
"What's your name?" Jake finally asked.
"Tom."
"Good"
"Yeah."
The car was silent. Tom looked behind him and saw me and smiled. I smiled back and looked out the window.
Something told me Tom was someone different, someone who I could trust.
