Empocalyse

Carrie, Mike, Eva, Ella and Bailey all were walking down the hot road. They kept searching for a car.

"My legs hurt" Mike groaned. He looked at Carrie. He felt bad about earlier. He also noticed she has not spoken since the they left the car. All she had been doing was staring at the ground. "Carrie you alright?"

Carrie being asked that said "I don't know. All this stuff with John leaving and zombies..." she sighed. "I just don't think that I can take anymore: she didn't say anything else. She also was worried about the dream. It really did feel real. But she didn't tell Mike or anyone. She knew want them to worry or something.

"Carrie I know. Its going to be okay. I mean look at me. I lost my parents in a accident seven years ago and I'm still okay" Mike said smiling.

Carrie looked up at him. She had forgotten that Mike doesn't have really any family but his sisters and grandparents. "Yeah but..."She started to say when a honk came from behind them.

They all turned to see a somewhat beat up car behind them.

"Hes one of those guys from the farmhouse." Mike said looking worried.

"I remember." Carrie said grabbing a nearby rock. She started to throw rocks at the windshield. "FUCK YOU!" she screamed.

"CARRIE LANGUAGE!" A man got out yelling.

Carrie stopped. She had froze. Tears ran down her face. "John?" she dropped the rock as the man approached. It was him. She ran to him. Hugging him tightly.

"Listen this is Finn. He helped me out getting away from Simon" John looked at Finn. "Right?"

Finn nodded.

Eva looked around. "Joe?" she was about to cry.

John looked at her. "Backseat"

She ran to the car. The girls ran too with their mother.

"Daddy!" both girls yelled.

"John how did you get away?" Carrie asked confused.

"Well it was hard but we..." John started to say when Eva asked "John whats wrong with Joe?"

John turned towards her. "Um well...that bastered Simon hit him in the head." John looked at the ground hoping she would believe him.

"Oh." Eva looked at her husband. She kissed his forehead.

"Okay everyone into the car" John said rushing everyone to the car.

"Wait John how are we all going to fit in that small car?" Carrie said as she looked at the small car.

"Simple. Me, you and Finn in the front and everyone else in the back." John got in the drivers seat.

Everyone got in but Carrie and Finn.

"Do you want me or you to sit in the..." Finn started to say when Carrie said "You go in first. Ill sit in your lap" Finn started to blush. He did just that. Carrie sat in his lap shutting the door.

John started the car.

"So Finn can I ask you something?" Mike asked.

"Yes...?" Fin answered questionably. He looked at John.

"How did you um....how do I say this...how did you get your...you know eye patch?" Mike asked as nice as possible.


"Oh well its a long story that I really don't wanna get into." Finn said with a fake smile.

Carrie noticed Finns smile. "Mike don't be rude."

"Sorry.."Mike said with a scared look.

"Its alright. He just wanted to know" Finn said smiling.

"Anyways Finn how did you meet John?" Carrie asked concern.

"Well I....um...." Finn tried to say when John answered for him. "He was one of Simon's other captives."

"Oh...okay" Carrie said as she was still uncertain.

"How far is town?" Eva asks as she rubs Joes' hair.

"It will only take about 30 minutes." John said wiping his face. He was sweating a lot.

"Its so far away. I just want to go home and try to forget all of this" Mike says as he sighs.

"We all do. But I don't think life will ever be normal again." Eva says as she pats his shoulder.

"I don't think so either" Carrie says unhappy. She started to think about her dream. It was still bothering her. She knew she had to ask John about it but only when he was alone.

"I know for one thing is when I get home I'm taking a long hot shower" Mike starts to imagine it. He smiles big.

"No kidding" Bailey says smelling him.

"Bailey be nice." Eva says giving her a disappointment look.

"Sorry..." Bailey says as she looked down.

"Okay so we go into town and go home and get clean. Then we find out what the heck happened" John says as he drove.

"How far is it now?" Mike asked wanting to go home.

"Maybe ten minutes or so. Also stop asking." John says as he looked back at him.

"Okay sorry sir" Mike rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry. Everything will be okay" Eva said looking at her husband. She began to get worried.

They continued down the road towards town.
