The Eruption of Time

Chapter Two - Run and Hide

As Tiffany pushed her younger siblings to the open door slide, they didn't budge and that's when she realized that the doors had been locked by one of the managers. She turned around and saw her mother pulling things out of her car and yelled, "Mom, follow us! I know another way in!" throwing Aurua on her back, she grabbed each of her brothers' hands and ran toward the side of the store. It was chaos at its finest. There were people running in all directions, vehicles going off the road, and there was even the sound of fire trucks and police cars going off in every direction. It was as if they were experiencing a movie and nothing was going to change. Tiffany couldn't help but wonder when she would wake up from such a nightmare where her family and herself were at dire risk of death itself.

Once they reached the back of the store, dodging loose shopping carts as they went by and people that had a lack of care in the world, in the given situation, there couldn't be a single sane person around, Tiffany pushed her siblings and mom into the back of the store where they had used to take out the trash on a daily so she knew it would be open. Reaching up, she grabbed the riptie and pulled it down, closing the door before the rest of the world could leak in. Turning around, she looked at her mother, "There is no way we are going to be able to make it back to the cars without becoming apart of that." and then suddenly both their phones went off.

They pulled out their phones and watched as a local lead scientist was broadcasting a worldwide broadcast. She admits to creating a virus that she calls the Z-1 virus, where you get deathly sick and die. There had been no survivors and it was impossible to survive the sickness. Once you die, you will return to killing the living. She even stated that she had no way to tell if she remembered anything once she had come back. All she said was that she was sick and that this was going to be the last time anyone was going to see her.

As the video ends, Tiffany and her mother look at each other in shock and awe at what they had just had. Tiffany grabbed her younger brother's brother's hands and walked toward the door that led out to the store itself. She reached over and grabbed one of the brooms and broke it at the end and handed it to her mother, "You saw what I saw, keep them safe. It seems like none out there is sick, but that doesn't mean that it is safe. Stay here and I'll come for you." She let go of the kids' hands and turned around. A part of her didn't want to look back and see the looks on their faces, just in case this was the last time she ever got to see them.

Walking out the doors she could hear people arguing in the front of the store road. She followed the loud roars of the road as they were watching the misery that was accruing out front. The doors were locked and not a person was going to unlock them for anything. People were crying and in shock, some were even praying for something greater and more divine to save them. Truth be told, this was how the world was most likely to be and everyone knew it.
