Episode 1: Arranging agreements.

It is about 5pm the afternoon, in South Canada. Alexa Graham and her group, except for her two daughters, Sarah and Nicole, are standing at their community's gate, "Jason-Garhed". Each have a weapon just in case. There are another group that is at their gates, Christopher Tyson and his crew.

 

"What do you want to talk about?" asks Alexa for Christopher. "Ugmm…we found three of your people on the road, so we decided to bring them back." Says Christopher. "Where are they?" asks Alexa. Christopher lifts his hand to give signal for the rest to climb out. The military truck's doors open, and Stan, Matthew and Roc climbs out. Right after them, Mark, Peter and Connor climb out. "Mark what the fuck happened? Are you ok?" asks Alexa in shock. "Yeah I'm still breathing so…" says Mark. "Go inside, I will have a look now." Says Alexa. "I'm sorry for what happened to your husband's face." Says Christopher. "How do you know he's my husband?" asks Alexa. "They told us his wife is a doctor, and you just said that you will have a look at it, so." Says Christopher. "Oh. Why are you sorry? It wasn't your fault." Says Alexa. Christopher signs. "Or was it?" asks Alexa. "Stan here came out of nowhere without my permission and hits you husband." Says Christopher. "What the fuck?" says Ethan and points a gun to Stan. "Ethan! Lower the gun!" warns Alexa. Ethan quickly lowers his gun. "And you think we are supposed to trust you?" asks Alexa. "I know it seems bad, I…I would have felt the same way, but…Stan and I are going to have a talk later, back at our camp." Says Christopher. "You guys have a camp?" asks Alexa. "Yeah we do." Says Christopher. "Is it far?" asks Alexa. "No, it's just a few miles up east." Says Christopher. "Oh, it's hard to think we are not the only people that is still out here." Says Alexa. "Yeah. Well you should come by one day, when you have the chance. It's called Rosewood." Says Christopher. "We will, thanks." Says Alexa. "Well, no need to keep you out of "Doctor-and-Patient", we will be going now." Says Christopher. "Thanks for bringing them back." Says Alexa. "You got it." Says Christopher. So, the four of them gets back in the military truck and went off. "I don't trust these people, Alexa." Says Susan. "Yeah, well Christopher seems ok." Says Alexa. "And the rest?" asks Susan. "We should keep a look out, because they know we are now." Says Alexa. "We will be fine." Says Susan. "Well, let's go fix up Mark." Says Alexa and went inside.

"Ow, goddamn!" says Mark as Alexa is trying to patch him up. "Come on, stop being a baby! Just hold still." Says Alexa while she puts a plaster on his cheek. "I guess I'm the one to always get hit in the face." Says Mark. "Yeah, first back at LA and now here." Says Alexa. "Yeah!" says Mark. "Dad? What the hell happened?" asks Sarah in shock when she comes downstairs. "It's nothing honey." Says Mark. "Did someone hit you?" asks Sarah. Mark signs and says, "Yes, but it's not a big deal." "Of course, it's a big deal." Says Sarah. "Sarah, ok you don't know what you're talking about so leave this for us." Says Alexa. "Fine!" says Sarah and went back upstairs. "Ok, there you go. Luckily there's nothing swollen, but you are going to have to walk a purple eye for a while." Says Alexa. "Thanks babe." Says Mark and give Alexa a kiss. "Well Connor and I will start to fix the gas stove." Says Peter as he picks up a gas bottle pipe. "I'll help." Says Mark. "No, you need to rest." Says Peter. "I'm fine." Says Mark. "No, Mark! Just rest for a while, we will be ok." Says Alexa. "Ok." Says Mark and went to sit with Ethan and Nathan. "Ok, who wants to help me to clean the parking lot?" asks Alexa. "I will." Says Susan. "You're working too much nowadays. You should rest, it's not good for you or the baby." Says Alexa. "Well who's going to help you then?" asks Susan. "I will." Says Mary. "Yeah me too." Says Nathan. "See?" says Alexa. So, Susan went to sit on a comfy chair, to rest a bit.

"Listen boss, I'm sorry for what happened back there." Says Stan. Christopher looks angry as hell. "What the fuck where you thinking? Huh? You could have fucked up our whole plan!" says Christopher. "I'm sorry boss." Says Stan. "SAY! Say sorry one more time, and I throw you out of this fucking window." Says Christopher. A few minutes later they arrive at Rosewood. "Matthew, Roc, you guys can go to the dinner launch. Stan you come with me." Says Christopher.

 

Christopher leads Stan an old dirty shed, where it's supposed to be Rosewood's punishment room. "Come on." Says Christopher. "You' me to the punishment room." Says Stan. "I know, I'm not fucking blind." Says Christopher. Christopher opens the door, let Stan in and then he went in as well. "Now I'm going to teach you a lesson." Says Christopher, while puts on punching knuckles. "Please boss, I won't do anything without your permission again. I promise." Says Christopher. "You right. You won't" says Christopher, and hits Stan in the face. Stan fell on the ground and spit. Christopher hits him again. "I'm sorry." Says Stan. "I don't care!" says Christopher, and hits Stan again. After three more punches, Christopher kneels in front of Stan and say, "Are you sure you won't disobey me again?" "I promise I won't, boss" says Stan while he coughs and spit a bit of blood. "Good," says Christopher. Christopher stands up, put away the punching knuckles in a cabinet. "When you're done crying, you can go eat, you know where the dinner launch is." Says Christopher and went outside. Stan's left side of his face is bleeding and is purple-and-blue. He has a scratch on his lip and he have a black eye. Stan stands up in pain and went outside.

There is some zombies roaming around Jason-Graham's fences. "Come…on…" says Alexa while she and Nathan drags one of the dead zombies in the parking lot, out of the way. "Fuck…that thing is heavy." Says Nathan as he rubs the sweat off his face. "Yeah, they are heavier than they look." Says Alexa. "Well, at least we have cleared out the parking lot." Says Nathan. "Yeah now I can mark that off my list." Says Alexa. "What do you want to do next?" asks Nathan. "I want to see if the cars are still able to get us somewhere" says Alexa. "Ok I will try to see what I can do at that Mercedes Benz." Says Nathan. "I will work on the Hyundai I30." Says Alexa. So, both of them got to work to see if they can get the four cars working.

 

The car battery wants to start but it doesn't start properly. "Well, at least we know the car still works." Says Alexa. "Yeah," says Nathan. "Are you struggling to start the car?" asks Alexa. "Hey, listen, I never done this before, ok?" says Nathan. "Well, a woman can do it so can you." Says Alexa as she went to open the gas tank. Whatever." Says Nathan. "Hmm, the tank is full. The battery is probably dead." Says Alexa as she went to open car bonnet. Suddenly the Mercedes Benz starts. "Oh…yeah baby!" says Nathan. "Good job, Nathan." Says Alexa. "Thanks!" says Nathan proudly. Suddenly Mary and Ethan came outside. "You fix it?" asks Ethan. "Well it sounds like it, so I guess yeah." Says Nathan. "Well at least we know now that we at least have one car to get us somewhere." Says Susan. "Hell yeah." Says Nathan. "And you Alexa? What's wrong?" asks Ethan. "I think the car's battery is probably dead, because the gas tank is full." Says Alexa. "Yeah that's all that it has to be, I guess." Says Ethan. "Yeah but now I don't know where to find a battery." Says Alexa. "Well there is two more cars left, so you should pick and choose." Says Ethan. There are two more cars left to pick from, either a Volkswagen Golf, or a Toyota Pickup Truck. "Well let's see if the Volkswagen Golf's battery will fix." Says Alexa. "You made the right choice Alexa." Says Ethan. "Ok let me go get it." Says Alexa. "No let me help you." Says Ethan. "Thanks" says Alexa. "You got it." Says Ethan. So, Ethan opens the Volkswagen Golf's bonnet, took out the battery, and replace it in the Hyundai I30. "Ok give it a shot." Says Ethan. Alexa put the keys in, and suddenly the car starts. "Holy shit" says Ethan. "Thanks Ethan." Says Alexa. "Well, that's enough for today, we can work on the last car tomorrow. So the four of them went inside. "Well I have some good news. Two of the three cars that we are going to use, is already working, so now we don't have to go on foot anymore." Says Alexa. "We got some good news too. The gas stove is working so today we can cook some food." Says Connor. "Oh, thank god." Says Susan. "I'm just going to cook some beans and mangoes." Says Mary. "I will help you." Says Susan. So the two of them went on and the rest just chatted. Alexa went upstairs to talk to Sarah.

 

Sarah is reading a book to Nicole, and suddenly there is a knock on the door. "Hey" says Alexa. "Hi mommy." Says Nicole. "Hey sweetie, you mind giving me and Sarah a minute?" asks Alexa. "Sure" says Nicole. So, Nicole takes her book and went outside, Alexa came in, closes the door and went to sit next Sarah on the bed. "Mom…I…" says Sarah. "I'm not mad at you, I was not mad at YOU. I was mad because you are bringing a baby into this world, and things are already crazy as it seems." Says Alexa. "I know mom, but I will teach my baby how to be a survivor." Says Sarah. "You better." Says Alexa. Sarah just smiles, and there were a few moments of silence. "You know, I was also sixteen when I found out that I am pregnant with you." Says Alexa. "Oh, shit yeah that's true." Says Sarah. "So, are you ok, of telling everyone else? Or should I?" asks Alexa. "I will mom." Says Sarah. "Ok whenever you're ready, we are done working for today, there are cars working, Connor and Peter fixed the gas stove, so we are getting somewhere." Says Alexa.

The people are enjoying their cooked human meat, with some rice and beans, around the tables in the dining launch. People are talking, laughing, and having fun. Stan's face is still messed up, but it's patched up. "Baby this is really nice thank you." Says Christopher. It's only Christopher, Angela, Stan, Roc and Matthew around the table. Christopher only allows them to eat with him. "My pleasure babe, all made with love." Says Angela. "Yeah Angela I guess we should start to have competition of who's making the best food." Says Roc. "Listen, I'm no professional cook, so I think I know who's going to win the competition." Says Angela. "Yeah, yeah." Says Roc.

 

Suddenly there is a voice screaming from outside the walls.  "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP, POR FAVOR!" yells the person in a Mexican accent. Christopher stands up while he grabs his gun and went to the gate. The rest did the same as well. When Matthew and Roc opens the door, it was a Mexican woman that was carrying Mexican man.  "Who are you?" asks Matthew. "Please help, my brother is hurt." Says the Mexican woman. "What should we do boss?" asks Matthew. Christopher signs and says, "Bring them in, and see what Doctor Stephens can do. So, Roc and Matthew helps them to get to the doctor. "Why are you not killing them?" asks Angela. "Why should we?" asks Christopher. "Cause we need the meat." Says Angela. "You still have a whole human left in the fridge." Says Christopher. "But…" says Angela when Christopher interrupts her. "As long as the guy is not bitten, we take them in." says Christopher, and went to the doctor's office.

 

 

"Is he going to make it?" asks Christopher as he enters Doctor Francia Stephen's doctor's tent. "Yes, he is. He's not bitten but he has a swollen arm. She said he felt on iron plates." Says Francia. "Good." Says Christopher. Francia takes the man inside the medical room, and the woman is sitting on a chair next to the tent's door. Christopher takes a chair and went to sit across the woman. "God bless you." Says the woman. "I'm glad I took you in." says Christopher. "Gracias." Says the woman. "So, who are you?" asks Christopher. "My name is Fabiana González, and my brother is Antonio González, and uh we are from Mexico." Says the woman. "Hi Fabiana, I'm Christopher Tyson, I'm the boss of this place." Says Christopher. "What is this place?" asks Fabiana. "This is Rosewood, the place where it feels like the old days." Says Christopher. "Still thank you for letting us in." says Fabiana. "Why you guys in Canada?" asks Christopher. "Me and my brother where here on vacation, and then the imbéciles (morons) start to show up, and then we didn't had the chance to go back hogar (home)." Says Fabiana. "You speak a lot of Spanish, with your English." Says Christopher. "Yeah I don't know all the words, but my brother worse." Says Fabiana. "What do you mean?" asks Christopher. "He doesn't understand English or speak it, I have to translate everything to him." Says Fabiana. "Well, isn't that interesting." Says Christopher in his evil voice. Suddenly Angela came inside the tent. "Hi I'm Angela Tyson, his wife. I just brought you some food." Says Angela as she hands Fabian a plate of food. "Fabiana González, gracias (thank you)." Says Fabiana as she starts to eat. "Here is for your brother too, if he wakes up." Says Angela. "Gracias Angela." Says Fabiana. "Fabiana? Fabiana donde estas?" calls Antonio. "I think he is looking for you." Says Francia as she came out the medical room. "Yeah thanks." Says Fabiana. "Voy en camino." Says Fabiana and went to her brother.

There are candles burning around the hotel, zombies walking around the fences, frogs making noises, the group eating and talking and laughing and having fun. "So, hears another stupid thing that asshole did. One day me and him went hunting, and we were standing in front of this beautiful lake with only one damn deer drinking water, and I told him this one is on him, because I already have my food for the night. So he lift up his gun, and shoots the deer, but when the shot fired he got scared and pissed his pants." Says Connor and the rest starts to laugh. "What? Why does he even hunt?" ask Peter. "Everyone always asked him, and he just didn't care." Says Connor. "Yeah, it's hard to think of hunting with friends now, then before." Says Connor. 'Yeah all we do now is actually hunting" says Ethan. "Well did he shot the deer? Or did he miss?" asks Alexa. "No, he got it, eventually, but that was the last time I went hunting. I told him I'm never going to hunt with him again." Says Connor. "You are feeling ok dad?" asks Sarah. "Yes, thank you honey. I'm feeling better than earlier." Says Mark. "That asshole shouldn't dare to put his feet here again!" says Ethan. "That's not for you to decide, Ethan." Says Mary. "I know Mary, it just…" says Ethan when Alexa interrupts him. "Mary is right, it's not for you to decide. And I know we don't all trust this guy, but I really don't trust him either." Says Alexa. "Why don't trust him?" asks Susan. "Listen he could have used any dumb excuse for that guy, Stan of hitting Mark, just so that we can trust him." Says Alexa. "Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm trying to tell you all the whole time." Says Ethan. "We should be careful." Says Peter. "You know what I'm thinking off, this have nothing to do with the conversation, but…" says Connor. "But? What?" asks Alexa. "I was thinking of bring the helicopter of Ethan here, so if we need to get out of here ASAP, and there is no cars available, we can use the helicopter." Says Connor. "Yeah that's actually fucking clever!" says Ethan. "Ethan!" yells Alexa. "What?" asks Ethan. "No cursing in front of Nicole!" says Alexa. "Oh. Sorry Nicole." Says Ethan. "It's ok, uncle Ethan!" says Nicole. "Aww, Nicole you are so adorable!" says Susan. "I can go with you in the morning." Says Ethan. "Yeah, you should come with me, because you are the bloody driver." Says Connor. "I will come too, I want to see how it looks." Says Nathan. "Sure, of course." Says Connor. "Me and Mark will stay and keep watch." Says Peter. "Thanks, Peter." Says Susan. "Of course." Says Peter. Ethan is watching Peter and there is jealousy in his eyes.

It is the next morning, birds are flying around, and whistling. Zombies are roaming around the fences of Rosewood, and people are doing their daily jobs. "Cuando regrese ese tipo que es el jefe, dile que le agradezco por ayudarmos." Says Antonio while he lies in the bed with a bandage over his arm. "Voy a. Estoy muy agradecido." Says Fabiana. "Sí yo también. Dígale al doctor que le agradezco también." Says Antonio. "Voy a hermano." Says Fabiana. Suddenly doctor Francia opens the pharmacy tent's door and went to the bed where Antonio is lying. "Hey doctor." Says Fabiana when Francia interrupts her. "Please call me Francia." Says Francia. "Ok, Francia my brother said I should thank you for helping him, and everything." Says Fabiana. "No problem it's my job." Says Francia for Antonio. "No hay problema. Es mi trabjo." Says Fabiana for Antonio. "Oh, het thanks you too, Christopher. For helping us and giving us a home." Says Fabiana. Christopher stands at the entrance of the tent. "No problem." Says Christopher. "Can you give us a moment please?" asks Francia for Fabiana. "Sure." Says Fabiana. "We will be right back." Says Francia. So Francia and Christopher went outside. "How does he look?" asks Christopher. "His arm is getting worse, I tried everything I could, but we should either cut of his arm or kill him." Says Francia. "No. We are not risking the chance of saving him, you know what to do. Kill him." Says Christopher.  "Ok, but what about his sister?" asks Francia. "I will take care of her." Says Christopher. "Ok." Says Francia, and both of them went back into the tent. "Fabiana, come let me show you a bit around Rosewood, while doctor Stevens helps your brother." Says Christopher. "Ok, no problem." Says Fabiana. "Regresaré bien? Christopher me mostará el lugar, mientras que el medico te ayuda a mejorar." Says Fabiana and went outside with Christopher.

 

"I also wanted to say, thank you, for letting us in, and giving us a place to stay the night, if it wasn't for you, we would both be Muertos, right now." Says Fabiana. "Really it's no problem." Says Christopher. "Well let's start where we just where was the medical tent, where Doctor Francia Stevens helps the people who gets hurt, over here is our "Iron Pit" it's basically where we make weapons and stuff with iron." Says Christopher. "You guys sure where prepared for the apocalypse." Says Fabiana as a joke. "No one was prepared for thew apocalypse!" says Christopher kind of mad. "It was a joke." Says Fabiana. "Well it was a fucking shitty joke." Says Christopher. At the "Iron Pit" is about three men burning iron, four men crafting iron swords, and three men crafting shovels. "Over here we have our little farm, where our cows, sheep, and horses are." Says Christopher. At the little farm, it's a big piece of ground split in three, left side is the horses, about four horses, with stables. On the right side is the cows, about five cows, also with stables, and in between them are the sheep, about seven sheep. "What about pollos?" asks Fabiana. "Sorry what?" asks Christopher. "Oh shit, sorry, I meant chickens. What about chickens?" asks Fabiana. "We are still working on getting chickens." Says Christopher. Suddenly Angela with a bowl of cereal. "Oh yeah, you have met my wife, Angela right?" asks Christopher. "Yes, I did. I wanted to tell you gracias for the food it was deliciosa, delicious!" says Fabiana. "Oh I'm glad you liked the food, here some cereal, I guess you haven't eaten today." Says Angela. "No I haven't, gracias." Says Fabiana. "Oh well let's continue." Says Christopher, and they went on exploring Rosewood.

There was a knock on hotel room number two. "Hey come in mom." Says Sarah as she is sitting on the bed. "Where is your sister?" asks Alexa. "Oh she is downstairs with Susan." Says Sarah. "Oh, look what I found." Says Alexa as she shows Sarah a brand new untouched diary. "A diary?" says Sarah. "Yeah it's untouched, brand new, and I thought to give you the diary, to write your thoughts inside that you don't normally want to share with everyone." Says Alexa. "Thanks mom." Says Sarah. "You welcome." Says Alexa. "How's dad?" asks Sarah. "He is better, still has a swollen blue eye, but otherwise he is going to be ok. And you how are you feeling?" says Alexa. "I'm good thanks mom." Says Sarah. "And the baby?" asks Alexa. "Oh god mom come on, I'm only a week pregnant, everything is still fine." Says Sarah. "Yeah, we only almost two weeks in the apocalypse." Says Alexa. "We did a lot in two weeks." Says Sarah. "That is fucking true." Says Alexa. "Well let me go see if I can help the rest downstairs." Says Alexa. "Love you mom." Says Sarah. "I love you to baby." Says Alexa.

"I fucking hope the helicopter is still there." Says Ethan. "If someone took the helicopter we would have heard it." Says Connor. "So how long do you have this helicopter, Ethan?" asks Nathan. "Well our dad had it for like 5 years before I was born, and then when he died about three years ago, he gave the helicopter to me, so I only have it for three years, but in total the helicopter is in this family for shit I know 40 years." Says Ethan. "Damn that is long." Says Nathan.  "Yeah, so I am pretty crazy about that helicopter." Says Ethan. "Well there is 100% chance that it is still there, but about 50% that it still works." Says Nathan. "Yeah that is true." Says Ethan.

 

A few minutes later Connor, Ethan and Nathan arrived at the helicopter. "Thank god it's still here" says Ethan. "See what did I tell you" says Connor. "Yeah, you are always right brother." Says Ethan. Suddenly about sixteen zombies arrives at the back of the helicopter. "Shit, get down." Says Connor. They went and hide behind a building. "You know we can take them?" says Ethan. "I know it's just, let's just first see where they are heading." Says Connor. "It looks like they are heading this way." Says Nathan. "And either way, we need to get to the helicopter in anyway." Says Ethan. "Ok, fine let's just take them." Says Connor. Connor gets out his gun, and loads it, Ethan gets out knife as well as Nathan and they went to kill the zombies. Connor takes the first shot, after that Ethan stabs one ugly zombie in the head and after him, Nathan kicks a zombie away and stabs him. When there was about seven zombies left, there came about 269 more zombies towards them. "Son of a bitch! There's more." Says Nathan. "You will be fine just keep fighting!" screams Connor as he starts to shoot them. Nathan stabs a zombie, when suddenly a zombie grabs him on the leg. Nathan trips and stabs the zombie in the head. Nathan tries to get up, but there are to many at the moment, for him to get up. He tries to crawl backwards on the ground as he stabs zombies that tries to eat him. "NATHAN!" yells Ethan. "Go help him, I will be fine." Says Connor. While Ethan was on his way to help Nathan a zombies tries to jump on him, but luckily he kills it. He had to kill one more zombie that tries to kill him, until one zombies actually jumped on him, and throws the knife out of his hands. Ethan tries to push off the zombie, but he is struggling. Suddenly the zombies brain splashes in, and blood splatters on Ethan's face. Connor saved his little brother. Ethan quickly stands up, grabs his knife and went to Nathan. "GET! THE! FUCK! OF! ME!" says Nathan, while he kills the zombie. At last Ethan stabs on zombie, but there is too many heading to their way.

"Ok don't worry if you do as I say, this will be quick." Says Francia as she opens her medical case. "Perdón?" asks Antonio. "Dije, si haces lo que digo, esto será rápido!" yells Francia. "¿Sabes español?" asks Antonio.  "Mi padre era español Eso no tiene nada que ver con la jodida conversación." Says Francia as she takes out a scapel. ¿Qué vas a hacer con eso?" asks Antonio. Ya verás." Says Francia as she tries to start to cut open his stomach. "ᵢEspere! ᵢEspere! ¿Qué estás hacienda? ᵢNo hay nada malo en mi estómago!" yells Antonio panicked. "Como dije, solo haz lo que te digo y todo irá rápido. Ahora collate la boca y quédate quieto." Says Francia. So Francia starts to cut open Antonio's stomach. Antonia just screams in pain. Francia doesn't care at all. She rips out his intestines. Antonio starts to choke on blood. After one minute of pain, Antonio suffered to his death. Francia skins Antonio, and takes his stomach's meat and put it in a bag. She then quickly covers up his body, and clean her hands, and then she takes the meat to Angela.

"Don't worry Nathan I got you!" says Ethan as he kills some zombies that are walking towards Nathan. Suddenly Nathan kills the zombies, that is lying on top of him. Just when he wanted to get up another zombie grabs him and bites him on his left leg. "Oww, son of a bitch! FUCKKKK!!!" yells Nathan. "NATHAN!" screams Ethan and quickly kills the zombie that was busy eating his leg. "Ethan behind you!" screams Nathan. Just when Ethan wanted to kill the zombie that was right behind him, Connor shoots it in the head. "We can come back for the helicopter, grab Nathan and lets go back home!" screams Connor as he shoots another zombie. "Ok." Says Ethan. "Don't worry Nathan everything will be fine." Says Ethan as he pick up Nathan. So Connor, Ethan with Nathan in his arms left the helicopter behind, and went back to Jason-Gared to try to safe Nathan's life.

Doctor Francia is not anywhere to be seen at the moment as well as Christopher. Fabiana opens the medical tent to see if he's ok, but she didn't expect any of this. "Antonio? ¿Estas bien?" asks Fabiana, before she saw that he is dead. "ᵢNo no no! ᵢNO!" yells Fabiana as she sees blood on the blanket. She opens the blanket and sees that his stomach is cut open. "ᵢDios mío, Antonio! ¿Qué diablos pasó? ¿Quien te hizo esto?" says Fabiana and starts to cry. Suddenly Doctor Francia comes inside, and she was scared because Fabiana found out that Antonio is dead. "What the fuck is this? What the fuck happened? What did you do?" asks Fabiana in a sad-angry voice. "I'm sorry!" says Francia. "NO! Don't be sorry. Tell me what happened. What did you do?" asks Fabiana. "Our rules here is, if someone gets weaker we kill them, and we eat their meat, cause that is how we will survive." Says Francia. "You are sick. ALL OF YOU ARE FUCKING SICK!!" screams Fabiana while she pushes Francia. Francia stands there in shock. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing else that we could have done for him." Says Francia. "FUCK YOU!" screams Fabiana as she grabs the scapel. "Fabiana put that down." Says Francia as she walks backwards. "Why? My brother did nothing to you, but you decided you don't want to help him? So you are just going to enjoy some lovely barbeque out of him." Says Fabiana. "Fabiana, por favor deja eso, solo estaba hacienda lo que me dijo Christopher, está bien. Así que por favor solo deja eso." Says Francia. "No me importa No mereces vivir. Te mereces arder en el infierno." Says Fabiana. "Por favor no. No por favor Fabiana no. ᵢNo!" screams Francia begging Fabiana to spare her life, when suddenly Fabiana stabs Francia with the scapel in her neck. Francia spits and chokes on blood. Fabiana stabs Francia two more times in the neck, then she stabs her about ten times more in the chest. "Hijo de puta!" says Fabiana as she stabs Francia in the head.

Sarah takes a pen out of the bedroom table's drawer, she opens her notebook and starts to write in it.

 

"Dear Diary

I don't even know what the date is anymore, is not that I need to go to school anymore to keep track of time. It's been about almost two weeks that the apocalypse began, and so much has happened already. Susan lost her husband, now her baby won't even know her real father. I lost my baby brother, Jason, I really wish he was here, I miss him. We finally have a new home, it's called Jason-Garhed. It's not that bad as I thought, but now we have met a new group of survivors, all I know is that their community is called Rosewood, and that my mom, and most of the others don't trust them. The leader of the group, Christopher seems to know his story pretty well, but that other asshole, called Stan who almost beat my dad, Mark to death, I don't trust that guy at all. Anyway I guess this is the apocalypse bad things happens, people are bad, people die, people survive, but now that I'm also pregnant myself I want to teach my child how to be a fighter, a survivor. That he or she should never be bad, that he or she should be ready if someone close to them die, and never to give up.

 

I will see when I can write again, and till then.

Sarah Graham.
