Day 19, July 15th 2013 - Reunion.

12:10 AM

"MIKE HELP !", I heard Lexi's scream, woke up and rushed outside. I saw Lexi was using her bow and I also saw Jess and Greg. I grabbed my baseball bat and  took the craze down one by one of course with the help of Jess and Lexi. "This is your camp huh?" Lexi asked them. "Yes" Jess said, "we almost fucking raid it." I said. Jess thanked me and said sorry and all that about what happened at her house. She asked me what happened, and I told her I broke my ankle, passed out, and Lexi took care of me, and so on. We sat down and ate our deer meet that we had left cuz it was starting to rot. Here we are in the jungle on our way to Toronto again. Victor, I thought, my other cousin. He lived with my brother, but moved 2 months before this happened, perhaps he knows where he is. So I told the group we're heading west now to Manitoba. We packed up and did a vote, either we go through the jungle, wet, dirty, safer, shelters are easy to find, and hunt for food, or city, not so safe, scavenge for canned food and weapons, and the possibility of cars. "So?" I said, "city?". "I'm not going anywhere without you Mike." Said Lexi, "City it is." Jess responded. We went out of the jungle to an open road, we decided to rest in one of the car, 1 guard the rests sleep and so on. I'll try to Hotwire a car tomorrow to get going.

Day 18, July 14th 2013 - Easy Today.

12:32 AM

We decided to gather everything we could today and continue for our journey. We as usual looted some houses and stores for food or weapons. Or even survivors, "Can you whistle?" She said, "well that was random, and yeah. Why?" I said, "well I can't." She kept bothering me the whole day by doing that weird blowing sound that people make when they can't whistle properly. After a long walk we decided to stop at some drugstore and went in. When we were inside boom, craze of course, what else do you expect? A cute fucking puppy? I only wish. "Try your bow and arrow. Right in the head." I said, and she did it ! One shot thats all she took. I nudged her head proudly, "good job kiddo." Then I went and took the other 2 out. I asked her to wait for me outside while I searched the drugstore, nothing was there, so we decided to continue the long walk. "Do you know anything about the rebels?" I said, "yeah my parents were in it. Don't even bother to ask where they at. Last time I saw them, they were heading to the military base in Quebec." She responded. I saw a smoke, so we followed. We went to some small campsite but no one was there, I was about to go in but Lexi convinced me not to and just watch the camp from several distance, so we did. We waited there for so long, but no one came so we decided go into this tree. Right, inside it, theres room for two, so we think we're going to spend the night there. Today was an easy day for us, and Lexi proved me she can "kinda" handle herself.

Day 17, July 13th 2013 - She's a Pretty Good Shot !

1:21 AM

I woke up this morning, soup was on my side, water, and some tylenols. I looked around me, barbwires everywhere. "LEXI?" I yelled, but no answers. I'm starting to get worried, I try to stand up and walk, though I'm still limping. I yelled her name once again. God, where are you kiddo?. I walk outside with my shotgun, and follow the footsteps. Fuck, a craze, so I walked around it, cuz I don't think I could take him in this condition. The footsteps led me to an alley way, so I followed. When I walked out the alley way, a fucking arrow went right in front of my god damn nose. "Holy fuck." I aimed my shotgun at her. "Mike! She yelled." She said "I'm sorry I thought you were something else. Holy shit." She ran up to me and hugged me. "I was so scared Mike." Said she. "I know Lexi, I know." I said. I asked her how did she find the bow and arrow, but then she responded "why didn't you tell me you HAD a bow and arrows?" , fair enough I guess, "who taught you how to use it?" I said, "myself.", "Let me see?", "sure." She holds the bow, puts the arrow on the string, pulls it, and lets go, of course she missed. "Fuck." She said, "haha. You suck.", "thanks." Se responded. "Here." I said, I took the bow and arrow and I fired it, "Bulls eye." Right on target. "Here." I decided to teach her how to use it properly, she deserves it. "Your welcome." She said, "for what?", "drugs, food, taking care of you. I almost got my ass eaten by those fuckers.", "Thanks." I said. "Hold the bow. STRAIGHT.", "geez, cranky much." She said. "Yeah whatever,  put the arrow, on the left side of the bow until you hear a click." *click* "very good, now aim but not like aiming guns. Close your right eye instead of your left. And now two fingers on top of the tip of the arrow on the string and one under it.", I held her arms so it stays straight."Straight." I said. "Okay okay!", "now pull the string, keep your elbow points upwards and pull until your thumb touches the bottom of your chin, and when let go, keep your holding arm straight still or you're gonna make the arrow flies somewhere else.", I waited "release when ready." She did it, bulls eye, it went through the sand bag. "Good job Lexi", "thanks ! High five!" She said. Yeah I gave her that one. "Thanks Mike.",  no problem.", "about your brother, what should we do after we found him?", "We go and join the government's forces." We walked back to the garage. "What if they're all dead?", "I don't know Lexi, let's hope not." I said. We decided to take a break from that practice and I think I'm ready to go tomorrow. Who knows what happened to Greg and Jess, hopefully they're still alive. I decided to eat my soup and drank some meds. Lexi is now drawing or writing who knows what. I'm proud of her.

Day 9, July 5th 2013, 10:24 AM

I woke up this morning, well Lexi woke me up. "I'm so fucking hungry, do we have deer meat left?" she asked. Yes we did, so I woke up and got out of the car. I told my cousin to make a fire so we all could eat breakfast. I went to the nearest lake just to refill our water bottle, it was peaceful but always, craze are around. We chatted for a while then we continued our  journey, by car now. My cousin was driving, I was navigating him, and Lexi was just there, doing nothing really. We got to the border between Ottawa and Montreal but it was blocked by vehicles lots of them. We stopped and we walked instead of driving, we went around, took the nature way I guess. This time, no craze nor cutter, our hope was high. We thought the military base was near so we kept on going. We took a little rest, drank some water, and continue our walk. Lexi was walking around the branches and she slipped, so we all laughed, big deal. We need some humour nowadays. "Why don't you cry like other little girls?" My cousin asked. "I'm tough, unlike those other wuss." she said. True say, this kid made it this far, she fought hard. We went into this one huge gate but then it was locked from the inside. It didn't look right to me, we decided to boost Lexi in to open the door for us. Well she asked us to do that so we did. "Be careful" I said, "Don't worry". We went in and guess what we saw? An abandoned fucking army base. Looked like it got over run, or raided. But how? We had no idea. We went in the buildings and its empty, no guns, no lootables, no food, no nothing.We got all upset, my cousin was fulfilled with rage and Lexi was there sitting, doing nothing. Thinking perhaps? I don't know. "We gotta make this right. Let's just find everything we could use and get some rest here. The sun is almost out." Even though something happened to the base, at least there are no craze in here. We gotta start find some clues of where the military is heading tomorrow, but tonight we are going to get rested up for the night.

Day 7, July 3rd 2013 - Her Name is Lexi.

9:36 PM

We didn't know where to go, the highway turned out to be a dead end. We couldn't find a way to get pass it. We decided to go down through the forest, perhaps there is a lake that we could cross through to get to the other side. We decided to make a camp in the jungle, when suddenly we got ambushed by other group of survivors. There were 5 of them, they were trying to raid us. Gun shots everywhere, and since we didn't have any guns, we backed away and left our camp. Not too far though because I wanted to know who they were,  my cousin, the girl, and I stuck around for a while. When 3 of them left, there were 2 guys stayed at our camp, so we decided to take our stuff back. The girl said she could distract them while me and my cousin try to sneak up on them, so we did. She did a pretty good job, we just simply choked the two guys and that was that. They had guns on them so we took it, a revolver and a shotgun. Enough for the three of us. I gave the girl my crowbar so I could take shotgun and my cousin took the revolver. We packed everything and loot everything we could from them. We made sure we didn't leave any tracks behind when we leave. Along the way, we talked. She told us her name, Lexi. Her parents were dead I believe and she knew it. She told us about her parents were stuck in the subway station and all that. Then I figured, the letter was about her, I showed it to her, and she kept it. She doesn't seem to mind everything that has been going on. We talked more, walked, and threw some corny jokes at each other. Life was good for a moment, we got tired so we decided to make a camp under a bridge which was full with craze, but we managed to clear them out one by one, quietly. I wouldn't risk any loud noise at this moment. Baseball bats and crowbar is the way to go to not make that much noise. We sat there and do our usual shift. I'm up first the other two are asleep, my cousin keeps talking in his dream, and Lexi? She doesn't seem scared at all. She's like my little sister now, a badass one I know, knowing that there's no one who will be able to take care of her now. I feel sorry for you kiddo, we'll got something to eat tomorrow. I promise.

Day 6, July 2nd 2013 - Found Her

9:32 PM

I'm exhausted, sad, and I don't even know what's going through my mind. I woke my cousin up, we're running low on food and water. We were too exhausted to even continue our journey, but we gotta keep moving. We destroyed our shelter and repacked everything, and after 3 hours of walk, we finally got to a small lake. We refilled our water bottles, and continued with our journey again. We walked and walked and walked then we found a high way. This high way is abandoned, and cars everywhere. I told my cousin to try to at least hot wire them. We broke the window and then, the alarm goes off. We're fucked I thought, craze are everywhere coming towards the car. We didn't know where to go so we decided to go under cars, and prayed so that they won't find us. We sneaked from cars to cars, and when we got away a little bit more, we decided to blow the cars up. That way, we can at least try to go on foot through the highway. Boom, huge explosions, fun, kinda. It's been along time that me and my cousin barely laugh or even smile. After a while and seeing no craze, we decided to walk on foot, when suddenly we heard something from the bush. We crouched, and all of the sudden, a little girl showed up. My cousin and I backed up and asked her if she was bitten. Turned out that she was fine, only some scrapes and blood, but no bite marks. We gave her water and some gauze to fix her. Fuck, that girl scared the fuck out of me. She looked like she has been surviving alone all this time, only her and her backpack. But how? She's pretty badass I must say, she swears a lot though. I asked her how old she is and she said she was only 13. Okay, so we got another member after we lost Boomer the other day, but I haven't talked much with her since we were too busy trying to walk on the highway without getting noticed by craze. We got to this place, I don't know, some sorta abandoned electric panel. There was no one nor craze so we decided to take a rest there. We made a little shelter, now she guards us and so on, the shift continues. She doesn't look scared at all, I don't know why or how. She had a radio with her and we were listening to it. The government, finally. They said that the military made a base in Quebec, but in order to go in there, we must be checked for bite marks or any signs that show that we're the rebels. Rebels ? I thought, what does it mean? No one knows until now who and what the rebels are, what they do and how many are there. All we want to do know is just to survive another day without losing any of our member(s) again. It's been along week for me. For all of us, and tomorrow we gotta start to hit our way into the city again to loot some food, and weapons and all the necessary needs for all of us. And this girl, we gotta keep her safe. She kinda reminds me with my cousin which I don't know where she is now. Dead? Hopefully not. I still need to find my brother too, hope he survives this hell.
