My heart was clenching tightly as I listened to him, but I still wanted to know one thing. Who exactly is Sara? Does anyone have a picture of her? Was I related to her somehow? Why did my father leave her, just like her mother? Is that why she looks like me? Do people really think I'm her brother?“And that's why I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess” he mumbled sadlyI shook my head, “You didn't drag me anywhere, I've never regretted coming with you. I wanted to help and be here with you guys. Besides I should be thanking you for helping me out today,” I muttered while fidgeting nervously“Don't thank us. Thank God that you're safe and sound. If you hadn't shown up, we would have never found you. You don't deserve this shit.” Dina said while wiping her tears from her cheeks and placing her hands on her hips. She gave me a small smile, making me chuckle a bit.Jonathan walked over to me and crouched down to be at eye level with me, “Are you okay?” He asked while
I didn't hesitate to answer her question. “Because I needed help Sara. And I needed to leave. You had no idea what was happening to me. And you certainly wouldn't have helped me. You might have hated me for what I'd become, but you'd still have wanted to try and make me normal again. So yes, your family and I did have some kind of history. But what we have today is different. We are better than we used to be. We don't hate each other anymore. And we don't have to hide anything anymore. That's why I need your help” I explained calmly, feeling my voice begin to waver slightly at the end of my explanation.“But how can you possibly trust me? I am a fucking murderer Alex! And you are the only person who knows the truth about that! How can you trust me with your secret? How can I trust you?”I shook my head, “There is no way that you can actually believe everything that I have just said. But there is nothing that you can do about that, right now anyway” I reasoned, trying to soun
After driving for quite awhile and passing several more groups of zombies, they reached a clearing where most of the vehicles and trucks had stopped and people were starting to pile out. The stranger hopped out and walked to one of the many generators, turning it on and starting it up. He ran back over to where the rest of the group was gathering.“Everyone stay calm,” he called as the others looked to see him.“We are almost out, and once we have a few more blocks to go, we should be able to drive through and then continue our journey”“That sounds good,” said BaliAnother ten minutes passed before they had made it to the main street that led toward the entrance of the city. A small group of people stood waiting, some holding signs, others simply watching from afar, while a few others were gathered together, some arguing with their neighbors.The group approached slowly as it got closer to the group. “What's going on? Who are you people? What are doing here?” Bali asked“We've been w

“Annabelle, do you think you could go back and get some food?” Bali asked as he finished braiding Annabelle's hair. His fingers moved smoothly through her raven locks as he twisted it up into a ponytail.“Sure,” Annabelle answered. She jumped off the bed and started walking toward the door.“Wait, you can't!” Bali said frantically, grabbing her arm, “the only way to leave this room is through the window”“Oh” Annabelle said and paused, “I suppose I shouldn't have expected any less, though” She crossed her arms and looked over at him angrily.Bali bit his lower lip nervously and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. “Sorry” he mumbled “you're probably right, we should stay put”Annabelle narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “But why not let me go and get food, and then lock yourself in here and wait?” she suggested“You know why not” Bali snapped “if we go out now, there will be less zombies outside”“Well what other choice do I have?” Annabelle replie
He played a beautiful melody, one she'd recognize anywhere. It was almost too perfect to be real. If she didn't know better, she'd think someone had recorded the music to send anonymously to the world. When she caught herself doing so, she immediately tried to push the thought away.The song came to an end and she watched as the man bowed slightly to the crowd, receiving numerous applause. As he started towards the exit, she noticed an attractive young woman standing on one of the topmost staircases watching him as well. They were close enough together for Annabelle to see that the woman's features were quite similar to hers – dark curly hair and wide green eyes. She had a beautiful tan complexion and seemed very proud and confident.When the man reached the bottom of the staircase the stranger offered him a small polite smile and nodded at him once before turning away. Her presence lingered on Annabelle's thoughts for a moment longer and then the woman disappeared into one
be the case”“If that's what you want to believe, then that's fine by me,” Emily said softly.“I'm glad to hear that” Annabelle said, hugging Emily briefly before heading back towards her room. Bali watched her curiously, wondering how long they had talked together and what she had told him.“Well, what did she want anyway?” Bali sighed and crossed his arms, leaning back against the wall next to the bathroom door.“She wanted to know how things were, apparently. About you” Emily answered.“Things are going great, why?”Emily rolled her eyes at Bali's obvious sarcasm “She just wants to know what kind of people Chris likes. I think she might like him...or at least like spending time together with him”“Yeah…” Bali snorted sarcastically “I guess that's normal for someone who goes to parties all the time to spend time with other people”Emily glared angrily at him but didn't respond, instead simply opening the bathroom door so she could change out of her wet clothes.He closed his eyes fo
”“We can handle the danger”“Do you honestly think we can take on that bastard of a brother of mine without any problems? I mean seriously, Bali, he's crazy dangerous! If we meet him, we will surely die and I don't want you to die because of my fault! Please...don't risk your lives for my sake”“But...”“No buts. Let's drop the subject okay? We have to focus on getting back what's ours! If you keep wasting time arguing over something stupid that I can easily solve then you will never find it”The twins sighed deeply and sat down on the couch across each other. They were silent, lost in thought.A few minutes later Annabelle opened the door and stepped into the apartment, carrying the bag with the camera in it that she had bought. She stopped and looked up to see Emily sitting opposite Bali in the living room. Both of their faces were pale, neither knowing what had happened. Annabelle cleared her throat awkwardly.“Hi Annabelle” Emily greeted. “I hope you enjoyed yourself?” she asked,
