So many thoughts rush through my head as I get dressed to leave. I am still shaken up from what happened in the showers. I have so many questions I want answered but I'm not sure if they are going to be the answers I want to hear. What are we going to find when we get there? What could have possibly happened to make me lose my memory? What will happen when I finally get it back?
Star walks in to the girls sleeping quarters and turns my way. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she asks. "I'm feeling okay.... just nervous about today" I trying to put on the best smile I can.
Star can see right through my act and knows there is something wrong. "Did you have another memory come back?" she asks with concern. "Yeah I did... but it wasn't a good one" I start to break down. Star walks over to me and sits down with me on the bed. I tell her about the memory I had in the shower as she comforts me.
She holds my head in her hands and looks me in the eye "Allie I know you are going through alot right now and just know that we will help you every step of the way. We're your family and we watch out for each other and we will help you get your memory back, no matter what gets in our way" she squeezes me tight and I squeeze right back.
"Thank you Star.... I don't know what I would of done if you guys hadn't found me." I say with a smile.
"Well enough with all this mushy stuff, lets go get something to eat" she says giving me a playful nudge with her shoulder. "Alright sounds good to me, I could use something to eat" I say with a laugh. We both head out of the sleeping quarters to the cafeteria.
As Star and I walk through the halls to the cafeteria, other members are slowly joining us. Adder comes down one of the hallways holding Tyler and I see the joy in Star's face seeing her baby. Everyone seems to be so happy here together and I can't help but smile.
Link comes jogging down the hall with a big smile on his face. "Hey! Guess what?" he asks. I can't help and grin because he just looks like a big goof with that smile on his face. "What?" I say.
"The leaders said I can go on the mission with you. Since I was one of the people that found you. I hope that is okay with you? I just really want to help you get your memory back" he says with a smile.
"Of course I'd want you to come with me. You are the one I called so I need your help in figuring out what happened that night. We also need your magical fairy to lead the way" I say giggling. Link laughs too and we all enter the cafeteria.
Everyone looks so happy sitting at all the tables eating with each other. Star takes Tyler with her to go sit at the leaders table. I go to grab some food from the cafeteria line. We have a good variety of choices so it’s easy to fill my plate. I see Link, Vulture, Odst, and Herc motioning me over to their table.
“Hey come eat with us Allie I promise these guys won’t cause too much ruckus for you” Herc said with a smile. “They would have to deal with me and I know they don’t want to do that” giving them a serious look. All I can
do is laugh because his comment sets off the three in a debate about who is the loudest.
Odst and Herc start talking about patrolling the gate and how the zombies seem to be acting strange lately. “I’m not sure how to explain it but the zombies seem to be… getting smarter” Odst says with a serious tone. “I agree, it’s almost as if they are learning and adapting… which doesn’t make any sense to me” Herc adds in. “Yeah I swear I saw one of them watching me from a window in one of the buildings near the gates. Everytime
I would get a bead on him he would move into the shadows” Odst says with nervousness in his voice.
“I think you guys should notify the leaders about that. If they really are starting to learn, than we need to try to figure out how we are going to deal with it” Link says. “I think we will wait a little longer and see if it keeps
happening because I may have just been seeing things” Odst says.
“Yeah I will look more into it and see if I can catch it happening. If I do than I will notify the leaders immediately, you can count on that” Herc says giving Odst a friendly pat on the back.
“Sooo on another note a team is going with Allie and I to go back to the house where we found her. We are going to see if she can get any more memories back” Link says with a smile. My heart stops for a second when he mentions that because it just brings me back to the memory I had in the showers.
“Yeah I’m hoping I can finally figure out what happened… I want my memory back and I think the best place to look would be there” I say with the best effort to sound happy. Link can tell and gives me a quick hug. “Hey I don’t care where we have to look, whether it’s in that house or a place crawling with zombies. I’m going to be there to help you get your memory back.”
“Hey Lunk don’t take all the credit. I’m going to be there to help too Allie” Vulture says giving me one of his goofy smiles. “I got permission to go with you guys too. Firefox’s team said there has been a lot of zombie activity in that area. I’ll make sure we get in and get out safe” Herc says giving me a reassuring smile. I smile right back and can’t help but feel that it’s all going to work out great.
Carnage walks up to the table. “Alright you guys, it’s about time we start getting ready to head out. Herc, Link, and Vulture get your gear together I want you ready in ten. Allie you come with me so I can go over the plan with you, since these goons already know what we are doing. I’ll be leading the team for this little mission.”
I get up to go with Carnage while the others go pack up and get ready. “Hey so Star told me you had another memory/dream again. Are you doing ok?” Carnage looks at me with concern. “Yeah I’m doing ok… its just that the last one I had just seemed so real and I don’t think I was ready for it” I say looking down at the floor while we walk. “I know that none of us could understand what you are going through right now, but just know that we are all here for you. Don’t ever be afraid to talk to us” He says giving me a hug. “Alright so the house where we found you is about twenty miles from here. We will be taking the hummer and a pick-up truck. You will be riding with Link and I in the hummer. Herc and Vulture will be in the truck behind us to provide any cover. According to Firefox’s team the area surrounding the house has been pretty active with zombies, so we will need to move quickly and efficiently. I don’t want any injuries or in the absolute worst case… infections. I think we should be ok as long as everyone listens and stays on track. Once we get you into the house I need you to look around and see if anything in there can spark a memory. I’m only giving you thirty minutes because we want to be back before nightfall. That pretty much sums it up so do you have any questions?” He says.
“No you answered any I had and the plan isn’t confusing” I say with a smile. “I just don;t want anything to happen to you guys because I would feel terrible. You guys are going out of your way for me and I really appreciate it.” I give him a hug. “Hey we all know you would do the same for us if we were in the same situation” he says giving me a warm smile.
We are now at the front doors of the school and we can see the two vehicles parked out front, loaded and ready to go with the team.
Carnage places his hand on my shoulder lightly and looks me in the eyes. “Alright you ready for this?” he asks.
I think about everything that has happened so far and I know that if I don’t ever get my memory back than I will be left guessing and I hate not having closure. So I say the first thing that comes to mind “I’m ready as I ever will be.”
“Good. Because I wasn’t taking no as an answer” Carnage says with a grin. We both walk out the front doors to the vehicles and get ready for whatever craziness is about to happen on this little mission.
To Be Continued!!!!
Hey guys I'm sorry I took so long to get another chapter out. I have been so busy with work and kind of blanked on where to go with the story. I finally got my mind working and came up with this next bit. I hope you guys like it! Oh and if someone could help me figure out how to do this. Can I get all the stories into one post? Its hard to find where I'm at sometimes because of how there are so many posts in between the chapters. But yeah anyways, Enjoy!

“Alright let’s hit the road!” Carnage yells to Vulture in the truck behind us. “Allie, how are you feeling? You still want to do this right?” he says to me. “I’m fine don’t worry and of course I do… more than anything.” I say with a bit of doubt in my voice. “You know we won’t let anything happen to you. If it gets to crazy or you really feel you can’t do this we won’t stop you if you want to turn back” he says with a smile.
“Yeah you can count on us, we are with you until the end” Link adds in. “Thank you guys I really appreciate it” I say giving them both a smile.
Star and Adder open the gates while Odst covers them with his sniper. “You guys be careful now, we want to see you all back here safely tonight” Adder says through the rolled down window. “Don’t you worry Adder we will be back before you know it” Carnage says as he pulls the Hummer through the gates.
“Herc no worries no zombies will be getting through this gate while you’re gone” Odst says to Herc with a Grin. “That’s good to hear, because if I come back and find out any did, you will be dealing with a very unhappy Herc” Herc says back with a chuckle.
Herc and Vulture pass through with the truck and the gates close behind them. They all wave to us from inside the gates. “This should be an easy mission, I think everything will go fine” Vulture says with confidence. “I hope so… I just hope we don’t run into any large groups like the ones’ Firefox was talking about” Herc says with a serious tone.
I stare out the window watching the streets as we drive. I’m still not used to seeing all the cars that are either abandoned or wrecked. The hardest part is seeing the bodies of people that used to be alive just like me. How can I not remember all of this happening… it just seems so unreal. I don’t like how I can feel like a part of me is missing. How many people have been lost to this outbreak? What caused all of it? I guess those are questions I may never find answers to.
I lay down in the backseat and listen to Carnage and Link making small talk about zombies and what the best method to killing them was. The vibration of the car moving and their conversation makes me clothes my eyes and before I know it I’ve dozed off.
I’m back at my friend Carla’s house. We just got done playing a game of Uno and are heading upstairs to hangout in her room. Carla has always been one of those people who watches the news or reads science articles and stuff like that. I always joke with her telling her she should get out more and hang with friends.
We get up to her room and like usual I plop down on her bed and she goes straight to her computer. “Hey Carla, you know we came up here to hangout, not so you could just jump on your computer” I say obviously frustrated. “I know I’m sorry, I was just in the middle of reading something when you came over earlier and I wanted to finish it really quick” she says without turning from the computer.
“Well it has to be something important if you can’t even look away from the computer to talk to me” I say with a smile.
It has always been like this since we met at the beginning of school this year. I had bumped into her on the way to my second period biology class. She was super nice and really smart. We sat with each other during class and seemed to click well and she became one of my best friends. Whenever we hangout she always has something new and interesting to tell me.
“Alright spill it, what information is your brain absorbing this time” I say jokingly as I walk over to see what article she is reading. It’s a news article about a man being killed after cops found him attacking a homeless man on the street. The attacker was said to be trying to bite the homeless man and even tried to attack the cops after they pulled him off. The homeless man was quoted saying “He was trying to eat me! He smelt horrible and something was very off about him when he approached me. I’m lucky to be alive.”
The picture of the dead attacker was hard to look at. He had a bullet wound in his head from where the cops shot him. The man’s eyes were like nothing I’ve ever seen. The autopsy report didn’t make any sense either. It said that the man was dead before the cops shot him, he had died from a stab wound to the chest.
“Are you reading this?” I ask in shock. “Of course I am, this is why I wanted to finish it before we did anything else” she says to me without her eyes leaving the screen. “If I’m reading this correctly, they are trying to say that this man... was basically a zombie when he attacked the homeless man” her voice wavers when she says this. “There is no way that could be true… zombies aren’t real… they are made up” I say trying to convince myself that what I’m saying is true.
“Who knows if that is actually the case, there is still a lot of mystery to event” she says turning off the monitor. “I think I’m going to head home” I say. “Are you sure? I thought you wanted to hangout” she says sounding upset. “I know I’m sorry, I’m just not feeling to good now. We can hang out tomorrow though I promise” I answer.
I hug her goodbye and tell her I’ll see her tomorrow. I drive home feeling sick to my stomach after reading that article and just want to try and get home to sleep it off. When I get home my dad asks me if I’m ok since I’m rushing upstairs to my room. I tell him I’m fine and just feeling a bit sick so he lets me be. I figure my mom is working late since she isn’t home. I turn off my light and get in bed and can’t shake the bad feeling I get from that article. Could that man really of been a zombie? I decide not to think about it so I don’t have nightmares and eventually drift off to sleep.
-Thud- I jolt awake to the car running over something. “What was that?” I ask Carnage. “Oh sorry did I wake you? We had to go around some debris in the road so I had to drive over the sidewalk” he says.
“Yeah we were trying to do it as gently as possible so we didn’t wake you” Link says with a grin. “Didn’t seem so gentle to me” I say. “Alright I’ll admit it we wanted to wake you up because we are about 5 minutes away from the house. We thought we would play a little joke on you, sorry if you didn’t find it funny” he giggles.
Carnage turns on his handheld radio. “Herc we are about 5 minutes out. Have you been seeing all the activity we have been passing?” Carnage says with concern in his voice. “Copy that. Yeah quite a bit of groups around this neighborhood. We should try to quicken the pace if we don’t want them catching up to us at the house. Hopefully there aren’t a lot already there.” Herc replies back. “Copy that lets step on it” Carnage says then turns off the radio and speeds up.
“I don’t have a good feeling about all these zombies being around” I say to Carnage. “Don’t worry if we get there and there are too many of them, we will head back to the school” he says patting me on the shoulder. “Ok I just don’t want us to get into any trouble” I say trying to keep steady in the fast moving car.
Link laughs “Hey don’t you worry lil lady, trouble is my middle name!” Carnage and I laugh at his remark.
“Soo… I might have had another memory guys” I say to them while looking down at my lap. “It didn’t have anything to do with me being in the house. It was before all that happened. It was when I was at my friend Carla’s house.” I tell them about it while we head towards the house.
“Hmm… well at least it seemed to have been a good one. Well kind of if you don’t include the zombie article part” Link says. “Yeah I guess you could say that. I just wonder whatever happened to Carla” I say trying to keep the thought of Carla being zombie out of my mind.
“Your friend Carla seemed to be a good friend of yours… I hope she is alright. Let’s not focus on that right now, we have something more important to worry about” he says bringing the Hummer to a stop. “We’re here.”
I shudder as I see the house from my memory come into view. It looks a lot scarier in person than it did in the memory. There are dead zombies strewn throughout the yard and on the porch. The windows are busted out and the front door has been ripped off the hinges.
Carnage grabs my shoulder softly to try and ease my shuddering. “Hey lets go get your memory back” he says with a smile.
