Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

Willow:

"Nicole it may be dangerous, especially leaving them out here, You shouldn't follow me." I say looking at her with sadness. " but I can only remember our parents faces, looking unhappy. I wanna see what our house looks like! You can't leave me clueless in the dark, you should know that." Nicole, my sister argued back. "Fine, lets go before they wake up" I say with a irritated sigh and we walk up towards the peeled yellow painted house. " Let's see if our parents even survived huh?" I say playfully as we both stare at the door knob, "Yes, let's see." she replied,

I grabbed the handle and Nicole seemed intrigued, we walked over down a hallway and Nicole stopped admire the living room but was met with a white walled room and pellows with a rug cut in shreds and pieces. "Still sorta pretty" Nicole was trying to make the best of it which was not worth it. "It was only a little bit far from what I imagined" Nicole lied to me obviously as she searched for whatever she was looking for, "Did we used to have a dog?" Nicole asked pointing over at a dog bed labeled Blizzard, I looked over sadly. "Where is it?" she asked impatiently, "we used to have a dog. Mom and dad kicked it out" I say frowning. "They kicked us out too" I add, "What?" she looked shocked, "just keep looking" I say quickly.

Nicole walks upstairs and opens a door to a room filled with broken computers and desks. "Such a mess" she mutters to herself. She walks out and opens the second door to see a bunch of clothes with tears on the floor but smells a horrible scent and closes the door quickly. "I wanna ask Willz what's in there but I'd rather not go in.. there could be zombies, I guess that's a sign to hurry up and check this last room." Nicole thought as she opened the last door to see a nice light pink bed with strawberry pillows and white walls and dressers, there were no toys or a rug just a bed and a dresser with a closet. "so pretty!" Nicole thought in amazement "FInd anything yet?" Willow asks trying to not shout from the bottom of the staircase.There was a thump and Nicole knew it was the foul stench and what only could mean was a zombie that had just properly awoken. "Cole?" Willow asked worried from the bottom of the stairs.

The zombie burst into the room and Willows mind went into fight or flight mode and she dashed up but saw the zombie dead on the floor and Nicole holding a branch from the tree by the window. "Cole!? are you okay?" Willow asks frantically as she grabbed Nicole and pulled her into a scared hug, "Im fine." Nicole says calmly which made Willow realize she should leave the topic

"Explain, now." Nicole said not very joyful. " Well before the zombie apocalypse our mother and father were not good people, let's just say that, they didn't care for us or blizzard.. It was mainly me helping you out until the zombie apocalypse spread.." Willow didn't want to continue, "were we all safe?" Nicole asked pressuring her on. "Let me finish.. During the apocalypse they stayed in and I just in case, grabbed some food and things and threw it in a bag then what I thought would happen- " She slightly paused. " happened.. They kicked me and you out so we had to survive on our own, then blizzard ran away and we were left alone in the chaos and craziness. It was horrible.. We almost died so many times! You have no idea how many countless times Cole! You really don't.." Tears formed in Willows glassy eyes.

" I'm sorry but we should go make sure Haro and Kyra are alive and take a break.. It's gonna be okay Willzy" Nicole says as she hugs willow tightly. they went back safely but Willows eyes shot open upon realizing Haro was asleep but Kyra was nowhere to be found.

"Kyra's gone.." Willow and Nicole say in shock and turn back towards the house with fear and irritation.
