The Apocalypse

2

I woke up with a knock. I groaned and pushed myself up.

"Wake up Ian."Brandon said through the door

"I'm up, I'm up."

I got up and put on a T-shirt. I went over to the door and opened it. Brandon greeted me with a smile. I half smiled back. We went down to the canteen and joined the line to get food. We waited for a few minutes and then got some food. We then went to an empty table and sat down.

"Well this looks appetizing," I said as I looked at my plate.

"Hey don't be picky. It's the apocalypse."

"True."

We ate in silence from them on. As we finished, a man called Alex came up to me and said, "I'm your new Forager group leader."

"Cool," I said. And then he joined us and talked about what we were going to do and handed me my schedule. I looked at it and saw that the day started at 8 and ended at 5. Huh. Not a bad day. The next day I woke up, had a shower and then went down to the canteen to have breakfast. Alex came to join me and introduced me to my teammates.

"This is Ian team."

"Hey."They all said.

I got introduced to them all. Their names were: Tom, Cyril, Chesper, Audrey, Kevin, Courtney(who is a boy), Ryan, Johnson, Willy and Alicia.

"So when do we leave Alex?"asked Cyril.

"Soon as Ian finishes."

I finished and put my plate away and then asked, "Where are we going?"

"A few hours away from here with 4 more groups of Foragers, 3 groups of Takers and 2 groups of Soldiers." Alex replied

Takers were the people who raided building and there jobs were the most dangerous because they had to go into building were there would be zombies. Soldiers were the guards of the place. They protected us.

"Oh fun."

A few minutes later we where on a bus going to the farm.

"So, where you from?" Asked Ryan.

"I'm from Korea. You?"

"Kenya."

"Cool."

The rest of the trip was quiet. The further we went the more zombies we saw. We even saw a Runner.

"There's more zombies than there was yesterday." Alex said.

"Ya, no s**t Sherlock," I muttered,"I was driving down this road with a fracking Runner on my heals."

Cyril snickered at that.

"Boy I saved you yesterday. You better shut up."

"Yeah sorry."

Finally we got to the farm. Sweet zombie Jesus there was a lot of zombies here. There had to 3 dozens. Damn.

"Ok, Johnson, Tom and Alicia can you please lure them away? You're the only people here who have zombie luring experience here."

"Sure" They all said simultaneously.

We waited in the van for Tom, Johnson and Alicia lured the zombies away then got out.

"Ok people, we're here to get vegetables plants herbs anything that is edible. If you can get livestock, then get some."

"Yes sir."

As we went into the field,I looked around for anything to eat. I saw some corn and went over to pick some. Then I saw some herbs i the garden they had so I went to pick some. As I picked some, I looked up to see a zombie less than 2 meters away from me and turned around and bolted. Crap. I had lost the things I had picked.

"Help please," I said Tom,"Zombie over the stuff I picked."

"K." he replied.

Before I could say thanks, the guy was taking the zombie away.

"Huh."

Oh well better go get my stuff back. Then I heard a scream from inside the barn.

"HELP! HELP ME!" The voice screamed.

I ran over to the barn and opened the door to see 2 zombies cornering a guy. I ran in screaming and the zombies looked at me and then thinking I was the easier target they turned around and came after me. I ran straight for them and then at the lats moment I sidestepped to the right and left them were they where in a confused state.

"Come on buddy. Lets go." I sat to the dude.

"Thank you so much."

"Thank me later. Like when we get away from these zombies."

And before the guy could reply I pulled him away from the zombies around the back and got out of there. Phew.

"What were you doing in there on your own?" I asked the guy

"I wasn't in there on my own. I had gone with 1 one my teammates and then they where bitten by that zombie. Then they turned in 2 minutes. Literally."

"Oof. Sorry bro. Were you two close?"

"CLOSE?! CLOSE!?!? WE WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS!" He says, breaking down into sobs.

I pat his back as he continues sobbing. He's sobbing so much I was surprised that all the water in his system hadn't run out yet. I continued patting his back and said to Alex, "I think we should go back to the fort. Like right NOW."

Alex just nodded with a grim look on his face. We packed up all of the stuff we had recovered into the vans and then went back to the fort. The whole three hour drive back was quiet. As soon as we got back, the guy was rushed to see a doctor. Man. I felt that way when I saw my best friend get turned into a zombie. I was so depressed. It felt like my hart had been shattered. I understood what the guy felt. It was dinner time so we went to the canteen to eat dinner. I ate fast and then went up too bed. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

Ok people. Vote and comment. Do you think the guy is gonna get turned into a zombie or not? As always, don't advertise your book in somebody else book. Thanks for reading and see you in the next chapter!!!
