Somewhere in Neverland
Leaving
My husband knew this was going to happen. It started out with just a few people being infected, and then out of nowhere almost everyone was.
It was a good thing that Chase, my husband was so prepared for this. He has been saving food and teaching me how to use all the weapons we could use. I know how to use all types of guns, a crossbow, knives, swords, and pretty much whatever I can get my hands on.
We had backpacks full of food, tins full of gas, and cases of water. They were all in a safe place and we could fit everything in the truck and car if needed. When the time comes for us to finally to leave our house because the neighborhood has been over run, we will be ready.
We heard a while back on the radio that the CDC located in Georgia was, working on a cure. That was the last thing we heard.
The day had come that we needed to pack up and leave our house and try to live on the outside.
“Chase, do you really think that we should travel all the way down to Georgia? What happens when there is nothing there? I don’t want to leave our house, if we don’t have to. I don’t want to leave if there is nothing there.” I was very scared. I liked our house, it’s like the world hasn’t gone to hell.
“Yes, there could be a cure. I feel like we need to be there. The National Guard is not doing anything, we haven’t seen them in months and we haven’t heard from them. And you heard the rumors, We all have the virus in us, so no matter what when we die, even if we don’t get bit, we will turn. I know you aren’t going to be able to put me down so, if we go there we wouldn’t have to worry about it.”
“I know but, I feel safe here. If we stay here we don’t have to worry about anyone of us getting bit and so what that we haven’t heard from the National Guard. Maybe they are busy. I don’t think that we need to waste the gas, we would have to take both vehicles.”
“Ariel, we have to go. We can’t survive here much longer. Please go pack up the clothes, shoes, everything. We won’t be coming back. Also pack winter clothes, it will be winter soon and we don’t know how the winters are down there.” Chase walked out of the room.
I couldn’t believe how easy this was for him. This was our first house as a married couple. We haven’t even been married for a year.
I packed up all of our things and headed down stairs. I wasn’t ready to leave but, I know Chase knows what he is doing.
“Ariel, hun I know you don’t want to, but we need to leave. Outside is clear so this is our chance to get things in the vehicles.” I followed him outside
We packed up our lives in two vehicles and left our house. We couldn’t have been on the road longer than two hours before the highway was blocked with cars. There were bodies in the cars. I couldn’t look at them. Chase pulled the truck over.
“What is it babe?” I asked. I wasn’t sure why he pulled over.
“We can’t continue with the car. It can’t go off road. I’m sorry babe, but we have to leave the car.” He looked upset.
“I understand, let’s move things around so we can fit everything in the truck.” I started moving towards my car when I heard walkers.
“Chase, we have walkers.”
Chase went after the walkers close to him and I had to take out the ones next to me. I am so happy that he taught me how to do this. I couldn’t be one of those people who, couldn’t help themselves or the ones around them.
After we killed the walkers we moves quickly and loaded the truck up and off we went.
