Will To
Choose
Chapter 1;
Hidding.
Elaina grabbed my arm.
" We need to go!"
" Hold on!" I yelled, yanking her hold on my arm.
I stuffed the last bit of clothes I could fit into the huge brown
bag. As we walked out of the abandoned mall, I heard a little
whisper.
"Help." I looked around. I saw the shadow of
something & walked over.
"What are you doing?" Elaina whispered to me.
"Someones over there." I whispered back, not
moving my eyes from the shadow near the broken glass of the
dollar store, which we had broken a month ago.
"Help me." I took a few steps forward.
" Where are you?"
" Keep moving forward," the voice said. I stepped
forward a few more times. " Bend down, I can not
stand." I got down on my knees & crawled a few times. I
was face to face with this stranger. Then Elaina shown her
flashlight on the person, & I realized. I was face to face
with a Hunter. It opened its mouth to snap of my head, its
teeth,row after row, sharp as knives. I grabbed my snipper, &
shot it right in the mouth, quicker than I thought possible. It
scrambled away from me, screeching.
" Lets go!" Elaina said. dragging me up to my
feet. We sprinted back to camp, which was 2 miles away.
" Thank you." I said to her, breathless, as we
reached camp. The sky was begining to lighten up.
" No problem." she said to me. I went straight to
our main tent, where our leader, Fred Kelly, stayed. He was a
short bald man, who was in the NavySeals.
" Hey Fred." I said as I walked in.
"Hello Erica. What have you come back to show
me?" He sat back in his chair, & crossed his ankles . I
placed the big bag on the crummy brown table.
" I took as many as I could." I said to him
honestly.
" Very well. Could I trust you to go through them,
& distribute them?" I nodded , & walked to my own
tent.
I emptied the bag onto my cot & searched through them,
keeping quite a few things for myself, Joana, & Beaa. As I
was going around, handing out, what looked like the right sizes,
to everyone I could find. Unfortunatley , we had raided Hollister
and American Eagle, the stores I refused to shop in before. I was
sure Beaa would be pleased to have brand name clothes.
" Need soem help?" A deep voice said behind
me.
" Go away Scott." I mumbled back.
" Hey, I came to get some clothes, anything wrong with
that?" Scott was the " bad boy" of the town. The
one who got suspended from school a bijillion times. The one who
all the girls were oddly attracted to. But me, in no idiot. Never
have I ever liked Scott, & I never will, because he just cant
fool me, like he does everyone else. I grabbed some clothes that
looked like they would fit him, turned to him without looking in
his eyes, & shoved them into his hands.
" There, now go." My voice was so cold I gave
myself a chill.
" I still want to help." I didnt answer, &
after awhile of silence, he left me alone. When I finally went to
bed I still had half the bag left.
I only had 3 hours of sleep, because I had to get up
early if I wanted to go shower. Theres a river south, only half a
mile away, which I can use, before we start moving, & I dont
have anywhere to shower for a couple days.
I took a towel, some clothes form the bag, & soap
Mrs.McCardy made us a few weeks ago. I had some shampoo left from
when we broke into the CVS 2 weeks ago up into the west. As I
walked out of my tent, I noticed the sky was just now becoming
its normal light blue, & everyone was still asleep.
When I reached the river I undressed & got in. The
water was cold because of the fall weather, & I shivered as I
got in. When i finished scrubbing myself for about the 3rd time,
I heard a crunching noise. I grabbed my towel, & looked
around. Only a squirrel or something. I got back in & washed
my hair a couple of times. When I was finishing washing my hair
for the last time I heard a thud. I swirled around the water.
" Hello?" I called out.
" Hey." Scott leaned against the side of the
tree. I screamed, & covered myself.
" Turn around!" I yelled to him. He closed his
eyes. I got out quickly & wrapped the towel around me.
" Did you follow me ? " I questioned him.
" I wanted to know where you were going."
" Leave. go away! You perv." I tightened my hold on my
towel.
" Fine." I leaned off the tree. " You have a
cute butt." He winked at me, & walked away. My face
burned. I watched him walk away until he wasn't in sight so I
oculd change. I dryed off, & put on my new clothes.
Let me know what you
think! Should I continue??
