Day 81 Mike's Diary - Good Karma

*Morning 10:20 AM*

I still couldn't processed what is going on with those people who attacked us yesterday. It's driving me nuts, and it's driving my curiousity even more toward Ann and her puppets. Everyone is still asleep, but soon I will wake Jack and Julie all at once. About 2 hours ago during my shift, I'm pretty sure Jack had a nightmare. He almost yelled, so I had to cover his mouth with a piece of a clothing, just in case if one of those people hear it. It's either Ann is just his imagination, and that Jack is crazy about her, or she really is a psychopath. No way though, those people are like Ann's own red-eyed army. Which is very insane if you think about it. I don't even know where to go today, so I will for sure let Jack to lead the way for the whole day. Whole mission even.

*Afternoon 2:30 PM*

We're on top of a tree right now taking a break. Eating snacks, Jack still anxiously scouting using my binoculars, Julie nervously holding my rifle just in case if there is another attack. Surprisingly enough, on our way here, we didn't see a thing that indicates an attack. It was very odd if you ask me. The weather is also weird, no wind, no rain, no sound, no nothing. It is also very humid, I'm very lazy to even do anything in this weather. Now Jack is packing up ready to hit the road once more. I don't know what we will even encounter along the way. Hopefully something good. Something that can possibly end this search because I'm really tired of this thing.

*Evening 4:55 PM*

Several more attacks. We were attacked for about 4 times during that 3 hours period of traveling. This time, it's more severe, why? They actually aim and shoot. I got hit on my arm, though the bullets only barely hitting us rather than penetrating our skins. It sucks really, though every single time we were attacked, we managed to take 4-6 people out. I yelled at Jack once, "until when will we keep trying to find this bitch? You don't even know where to go Jack." He only said "I know where I'm going." We ended the conversation there. Now, we're not doing anything, taking another major break, Jack is sharpening his knives while Julie is keeping a look out.

*Night 7:35 PM*

We decided to look for another shelter for us to stay for the night, nothing. It's late and it's very dangerous to even blink our eyes. Those fuckers are everywhere, and we can't see at night. The only thing that we have is just my thermal scope. I don't even know how we're going to survive in this situation. Jack is getting stressed out, walking back and forth for about 5 minutes now. Looks like he's trying to figure something out. Right at this point, I have no idea what we're even looking for anymore. All I know is that Jack needs to do his business with Ann. That's all. I'm just returning the favour by helping Jack to find Ann because Jack has helped us a lot. I believe in good karma.

*11:56 PM*

We were ambushed, again, I don't know how those fuckers keep finding our hideouts. It seems like they have cameras on every trees in the forest. It's freaky. Very freaky. Being watched on your every moves. You can't even take a very short nap. In the last ambushed, Julie is wounded, 1 shot barely misses her hip. I patched her up with a piece of clothing that I have, and poured some alcohol onto it. She screamed, though I put my hand over her mouth, so her scream can't be heard from a mile over. Then again, no matter how hard we try to hide, those fuckers always find their ways to us. Now, everybody is just resting, nothing to do, we've almost given up. Jack, please find Ann ASAP.

Mike's Diary Day 51 - "If I die, then let be."

     After we had all we wanted, supplies, gas, food, weapons, and most importantly, water to drink, we built our tent in the middle and we, well, I slept while the group was still talking. I had a dream, of Lexi, how her head blew up before a blink of an eye, and lied down on her side, harmlessly. I woke up gasping to this kid beside me.
     "Bad dreams huh?"
     "Yeah."
     "I hate them."
     "Me too."
I stood up, grabbed my crowbar, and when I was about to walk outside, she said,
     "Still don't want to talk to me I see." While she walks pass me. I just glanced at her and keep walking behind her. I saw the group was ready and all I could hear was
     "Did she actually wake you up?" asked Jess, I didn't say anything and shook my head. We packed up, refilled the gas in the car, and when I was about to get on the truck, Jack said
     "Hey, you had more sleep, you're driving." I switched to the driver seat, Jack is on the passenger seat, and Julie, Ann, Victor, and Jess were sitting at the back. In about three to four hours drive, Ann said
     "Guys, I need to go to the bathroom."
     "thirty more minutes and there's going to be a gas station." Jack informed her while looking at his map.
     "Are you tired bud?" Jack asked, but I shook my head.
     "Look, when you were sleeping yesterday, we were talking about Julie." He paused for a second and continued.
     "Jess, Victor, and I were talking, but then those two hooligans wanted Julie to stay with us."
I hit the break pedal, and paused for a second.
     "On the other hand, Julie also wants to stay with us."
     "No." I said,
     "Why are we stopping?" Jess asked,
     "Because we have to decide whether she's staying or not." Jack said,
     "Well can she stay? I need to go to the bathroom." Ann responded.
     "Look, the valors is one big army I will not start a war with them just for Julie, I won't risk our entire base, my brother is still there." I said,
     "Finally he speaks." Julie whispered,
     "Knock it off." Jack said to Julie. There, I guess we all know now that the vote is 3 against 2 excluding Ann.
     "Look she's not staying with us." I said, then I kept driving. thirty minutes later, we arrived at the gas station, and Ann impulsively ran towards the bathrooms without checking anything. Once she's done, she went out, and yelled "WALKERS!" I ran towards her, and managed to kill it, what a bloody mess. Then came another one, then another, and then another. We were so scattered so all the groups were scattered, and by scattered I mean Julie, Jack, and I were on the gas station's gate, and Victor, Jess, and Ann were already in the car. I looked over to Jack, then Julie.
    "I'll distract them, you and Julie head for the car." He nodded
    "We're not leaving you here." Said Jack
    "Yes, we are not." Julie added.
    "We need you to lead the squad." Jack said
    "RUN! Now Julie." She rushed towards the car
    I held Jack's arm and said, "If I don't make it alive, you're in charge, and.... keep her safe." I said, then he nodded. He took off, and hoped in to the car, and all I could heard was Julie's faint voice saying
    "How about Mike?"
At that moment, I think, well if I don't survive this one, at least they will. I then took off my shotgun and fired it into the air, distracting the craze from the car which then took off into the foggy evening. I ran backwards while firing, and since I didn't want to waste my shotgun ammo, I decided to hack and slash them with my crowbar while retreating deep into the forest until I'm finally alone. How stupid, I should've brought my tent with me. Now, I have to make a shelter, fire, and won't be able to sleep for more than 2 hours cycle. How stupid.

Mike's Diary day 48 - "Merry Fucking Christmas"

Today is December 25th. The day when Jesus was born. I woke up and saw Lexi who was guarding the tent at the time.
     "Merry Christmas Kiddo" I said.
     "Hey you remember"
     "Of course I do."
I got up and I went towards her and gave her a necklace
     "Here"
     "You shouldn't have." She said to me.
     "That‘s my sister's."
I got up and told HR to pack up. I packed my things up and helped lexi to do her stuff. We are going to head towards the church and wait for Victor, jess, and Jack to catch up with us. I really wish that they are okay and none gets injured, or died.
We walked for s couple more miles, and here we are in the front gate of this magnificent building. The gates are gold, the walls are ceramics, the smell of rust overlapping the smell of dirt and corpses.
     "Let me Go in first."
     "Careful, we don't need another dead man." She said.
I walked inside when-- the wall collapse separating meandering Lexi.
     "MIKE." She almost yelled
     "Lexi, ready your gun and wait untill I come back. I'll find another way around. You wait three find some place safe, those three will be here any minutes so just sit tight and wait for them. Once you see them, tell them to find me, I'll be waiting here inside the building. Merry Christmas." I said.

I turned around leaving Lexi behind, I just keep walking until I see craze. I crouched immediately, picked up a rock and threw it across the room in order to distract the craze.I took one of them out with my crowbar, but the more I proceed my way through the church, the more craze popping out. I finally found a ladder, I thought if I could use this to go to the attic, I could make my way out of this building and reunite with the others. Plus Lexi, I just don't want anything to happen to Lexi. I climbed my way to he attic, very dust, and I fucking hate it. Oh well what else can I do right? I proceed my way out of the attic and jumped down. Finally, there Lexi just sitting down waiting for me.
    "Plan b, this place isn't safe, lets leave a note to them that say go to the building across, third floor." I said, and she nodded. I felt relieved when I saw Lexi was still alive.

We went to the building across, it was almost the same condition as the church so we decided to go together this time. We will not taking the risk of being separated again. We went onto the third floor when we saw more clowns. I decided to take 2 of them out, impulsively.
     "Alright Lexi, we'll be watching and waiting for Jack and group from through third floor. We can watch every movement from the window, and yo--"
     "You move you die" said one of the clowns who was holding Lexi as a hostage.
     "Please don't. Do anything to her."
     "You've killed my friend."
     "They were trying to kill us no LET HER GO!"
 Before I had time to say anything else, th bullet from his glock pierced through Lexi's head and she dropped dead on the floor. I rushed toward the clown, took my crowbar out and started beating him. I beat him to his death and throw him off of the building. I sat there mourning or Lexi's lifeless body. I cried, screamed, and the rage within me took over. Why the he'll did I even do this in the first place. I fell empty, as if there is no purpose to my life anymore. Just in time. Those three reached me.
      "Mike..." Jack said.
I didn't say anything and walked away from Lexi. Sitting in the corner mourning, crying, yelling, like a mad man. Merry fucking Christmas.

Day 47

     "Are you okay?" I asked Lexi.

     "Yes, but Victor..."

     "Yeah I know. Go get some rest. You kicked ass though." I chuckled and gave her a hand gun. 

     "Now what." Said Jess who was taking care of Victor at the time. I looked to her, then glanced over to Jack. Oh I see you want revenge right Jack? Well it'd be better to do it after we deliver this thing don't you think? More guns, gather more people? Ask for Valors' help? 

     "So Jack." I asked

     "I'm going with or without you guys."

     "That's what I thought."

     "You, guys be safe. I'm going tomorrow morning"

     "No, everyone comes with you. I'll deliver this to valors myself."

     "Mike WHAT THE FUCK!" Lexi yelled from across the room.

     "Language." 

     "Don't tell me that. I'm going with you." She responded. All I could do is let her be. 

*NEXT MORNING* 

Everybody wakes up, and is packing their stuff.  

     "Jack how far is it? Their base?" I asked

     "Far enough. You two. We don't need two more dead people."

     "And I don't need three." I said, then I continued, "you see that church? The one over the mountain. We'll be there in 2 days. Try to catch up if you can. If you can't, turn back to base or go to this address." I handed him a copy o the address. Then we went on our own ways. Me and Lexi walked, far, far enough for her to collapse and just sit down in the middle of the muddy road to take a rest. It's not yet evening, but since winter is approaching, it gets pretty dark.

     "You haven't answered my question. What happened to you before you met me." I asked

     "I was with my aunt. But you know, shit went down. I try to survive, blablabla, 5 days later, you found me." She answered. "Yourself?" 

     "Me?" I asked "well, had a family once. They all dead."

     "I'm sorry." 

     "Me too."

I got her up and we continue walking. Craze here and there but they don't even bother us anymore, we tried our best to be unseen. Uzi in my right hand, a revolver in Lexi's. Lexi for some reason doesn't complain that much during the trip. You're a tough little kid for your age kiddo. We walk until it was really dark, approximately 15 miles away from the church. We set up a tent, went in it, I'm staying up and she's sleeping. We'll take turn obviously. There's nothing else to do, so I decided to write this. Hopefully those three are just fine, and can meet up with us in two days in the church. I was so stupid not telling them what the signal is when we're near by because yelling and screaming out names just doesn't cut it. It'll bring us to our own deaths. Mike, you're so dumb.

Mike's Diary - Day 41 "Not so Useless Afterall"

I saw Jack, my face was busted. After Jack unchained me, I told him to get the old guy (whoever he is) and told jack to carry him to our base. Before I walked outside, I spat my blood on the floor right beside the villain's body and whispered 

   "I fucking told you he'd come."

Those two days outside base was exhausting. Very exhausting. I woke up from my long sleep, my body was aching, still is; however, i got my wound patched up (whoever did it, thanks.) I got up and stumbled my way out of my dusty small room and beat my way through the small gloomy hallway. I went outside and I saw people, guard mostly are keeping our base away from craze and other raiders. From afar, I could spot Jack was walking towards me.

       "Thanks." I said to him

       "No biggie, Lexi was worrying."

       "I know." I responded.

       "I need to talk to you." He said

       "About what?"

       "Your brother, and your base."

       "What about them?"

       "We had a conflict, I wanted to plant some trees, and vegetables, but your brother only cares about defense. We argued and he tried to hit me but I blocked it. Never talked to him since." He  explained

        "He is my brother. He built this base long before we came. Defense is important, but you do have a good point. I'll talk to him when I see him. Where's Lexi?" I said

         "Playing with the others, yeah I guess I can't say much, I have to get going, get your ass out of trouble, you got two holes already, you dont need more bullet holes." He responded

I chuckled "Ohh, mind if you help Jessie sorting the firearms? Thanks Jack."

I went to Lexi and her friends, she ran up to me and asked if I was okay and told me that I'm stupid going off alone. And the old guy, she asked. I couldn't care less, he's still sleeping, he saved my ass after all, and shit I forgot to ask Jack who the old guy is. Lexi just starred at me and said 

    "This is bullshit Mike, I don't wanna play with other girls, I wanna help. Teach me something new, join the the crew to gather supplies, all that stuff."

     "Well why not start with helping Jack and Jessie with the firearms?" I asked. She smiled, biggest smile she has ever given me since i was gone for 2 days. Then she ran away, and she left me here, alone, peacefully, writing on my journal.

Mike's Diary Day 36 Sept 18th - New Recruit Jack

I couldn't sleep last night, I was hunted by an unpleasant feeling; It felt like another storm of raids are going to hit our base. Off I go outside our base, the breeze, the smells of grass, and the full moon makes everything so gloomy and dead. I figured that we are low on painkillers and first aid kits, so off I go to the closest pharmacy I could find. I'm going alone, because everyone is asleep; Halfway across the bridge, I heard screams from the main entrance of the city, without thinking any longer I rushed to where the source of the noise comes from. I saw a group of people, 2 guys 1 girl were being cornered by these fuckers. I didn't know what to do, but then I remember that I brought some molotovs along with me. I light them up, then threw it to the crowds; I saw a guy running towards me, sadly only him who survived in this horrible night. He said "Thank you, name is Jack", "I'm Mike, now come help me gather some painkillers. I need you to guard the door.". This was supposed to be a one man mission, but then it became 2. Gathered some stuff, I was distracted by all of these drugs that I need to take when suddenly the door bursts open. "Shit! Run!" Jack said, we were overran by craze and cutters so I took off with him through the back door; It was a close call, thank you to him the new recruit.

September 9th - Caught a "Dog"

We caught a guy which who was involved in the attack. Me, Lexi, and Victor went to investigate the guy. We asked him many questions such as who are you, how many people in his group, why did they attack our camp and all that. Of course, he didn't answer any of those questions therefore we decided to lock him up in a cage in the middle of a forest full of cutters and craze. "Man he's goin' to shit his pant." says Lexi, we headed back to our camp and thinking what we should do next but for sure we are going to fortified our camp and we will have many more people patrolling at night, just to make sure everyone is safe. This is frustrating, though we sure will go back to check on that dog in the cage and we WILL make sure that he talks tomorrow, if not well who knows what is going to happen.

Day 16, July 12th 2013 - Get Well Soon

1:59 AM

I woke up this morning, and prepared the canned food to eat for breakfast. I opened it put it in a bowl and woke Mike up. He's injured pretty bad, his ankle got twisted and now he's having a fever. I took the bow and arrows and had a little practice and went back to Mike. Hope you get well soon. I barricaded the entrances and windows, and got some barbwires running around them. "Mike I don't know what to do." I whispered to myself, but of course he didn't answer. It's been almost 36 hours and he's still lying down here. I didn't know what to do. "I'll be back, I promise." I said to him. I went out with the bow and arrow, a crowbar and my backpack. Perhaps I could find some aid kit or some more food for him I thought. So off I went, I searched every single store but they were all the same. Food, water, food, water, though they are useful, all I really needed was a gauze and some fucking tylenols. That's when I decided to go through some small alley. I saw a craze, sleeping, I thought this was my chance to try my  ability. Pull the arrow backward, aim to the head, and. I fucking missed and I woke that fucker up. I'm fucked, I thought. I ran as fast as I could and I went up some ladder that leads to the top of the building. I went down the attic, and lohombehold, a drugstore. Just what I fucking need. I took all the drugs, meds, gauze, and everything I needed (basically everything.) then I went back to the garage. I boiled some water for Mike, and gave him 2 pills of Tylenols. He drank it and went back to sleep. I hope he'll get better soon because I don't know what to fucking do without him. I gotta make sure this building will hold until he's feeling better. I'm sorry Mike.

Day 15, July 11th 2013 - Teamwork Remember?

11:13 PM

"We're out of food, sorry guys. We should be divided into groups and loot these buildings." I said while putting the map of surroundings. "Oh man, Mike? When did you draw this? How do you know these buildings?" Lexi said. "Umm, reasons." I said, "Did you go alone man? What the fuck." I divided the group, Lexi with Jess since she isn't fully patched up. And I go with Greg. "Keep her safe." I whispered to Jess. They both went to the mini stores and we went to the sports store and some barber shop. "How old are you Greg?" I asked, "7" said he. "Your sister?", "She's 16." He responded, we looted some scissors, I got a hockey stick and a helmet, some baseballs and some football armour. I also got a bow and some arrows, I thought perhaps Jess could use this when those fuckers are chasing after us. After we got what we needed, we went back to the house and met up together. When I saw Lexi's face, "You're smiling, why? Tell me some good news Lex." I said. She didn't say anything and she dropped the bag full of bottled water and canned food and canned fruits. "Holy mama, that's some good shit." I said, then Jess punched me in the arm, "Oucchhh what was that for?", "Don't swear in front of Greg." She said. We decided to stay for a little while and eat some of the stuff that those two found. I showed them the bow and arrow and let Jess uses it. Though she needs practice, that's why I'll teach her sometimes this week. I have some skills, Phys. Ed experience. We went out for some more stuff and we accidentally encountered with some craze, there were too many of them. We decided to run, we found a huge wall leads to the other side, I boosted Jess, then Greg, then I boosted Lexi up, when I was about to climb the wall, I fell and sprained my ankle. I stood up an couldn't climb so I decided to run to towards the road, I fell again, then someone boosted me up and we run. It was Lexi. "Teamwork remember? I'm not fucking leaving without you." She said. We kept running, well I was limping. Then we found a garage door just barely half opened. I lifted the door so Lexi could put something underneath to hold it so we both could go in. We went in and closed the door. Then I passed out.

Day 14, July 10th 2013 - Somebody Isn't Feeling Well

11:33 PM

We were woken up from our sleep by the walkie talkie. This time the little brother is talking. "Hello? Are you guys there? Where is my sister?" He said, "Hey buddy, wasn't she with you?" I asked him confused. "Yeah, but now I don't know where she is." He said. I looked at Lexi and she looked at me the same way I looked at her. We know that something isn't right and we had to get into the house before the boy got bitten. We went down the tree house, we decided to clear the backyard, I used my crowbar and Lexi used my baseball bat. Man we make a great team. After clearing the surroundings, we went in and saw a boy alone in the kitchen with the walkie talkie. "Lexi, go talk to him, I'll check on his sister." I said, "okay." She said. "Mike?" She whispered, "yeah?" I looked at her, "Be careful.", "okay" I said. I went upstairs, checked room by room, nothing. Then when I went into the bathroom, I saw her on the floor lying down. I checked her for marks, couldn't find shit. We decided to lie her down on the bed, and we waited. "Lexi, go make her and the boy soup, I'll guard the door." I said, "But we only have some left?", "It's okay, we can find more later, these guys aren't in the best shape." I went down the stairs and sat on the porch with my shotgun. I fell asleep, and I ha a dream about my sister. She was playing on a swing, I pushed her, she laughed, then I saw a guy came towards us and shot her in the head. Then Lexi woke me up. "Mike what the fuck? You fell asleep outside, you wanna die? The girl is up. She's not feeling well." Said she, "okay." I said, "hey, thanks.", "no problem" Said Lexi. We went up and asked them how long have they been in this condition, and they decided to tag along since they didn't know where their parents are. The girl's name is Jess, and the boy is Greg. Since she isn't feeling well, we decided to stay put and barricaded the house with wooden planks and other stuff we could find. Lexi asked me if she could ho somewhere on her own to get some more food, I didn't let her. We stayed there and talk about the past and things that we would do if we won the lotto. It was fun, small talks like that. Since there is nothing else to do, we decided to stay for the night, hopefully Jess is gonna feel better tomorrow cuz we need a hand in looting some shit. Now they're all asleep. "Mike, my shift, go to sleep now." Said Lexi, "it's alright kiddo, go back to sleep.", "oh trying to be a badass now huh? We'll guard together then, plus we're better together." We decided to stay up all night and talked about how I first found her and all that stuff. And now I'm really tired,  so I think I'm gonna sleep. "I'm going now kiddo.", "yaya.. When you woke up, I'll make sure your legs are still attached. Haha." Said she.

Day 13, July 9th 2013 - Possible Survivors

11:35 PM

We found a treehouse and we are in it now. This morning, I woke up early and serve Lexi some breakfast, "smells so fucking good." Said she in sleepy tone. She just woke up. "You talked in your sleep, I hate bad dreams too." I said. "Hey you did good yesterday, saved my ass couple of times." I said, "yeah teamwork !" She put her hand up as if wishing for a high five. So I gave her that. We got up and planning on going deep into the suburbs. We encounter some more craze, I took some of them out, choked it. We went into a gun shop and guess what? We found a katana, not bad I guess. But it's fucking bad that people already took the guns and ammunitions. Lexi looted some gear that we could probably use for aid kit or some sort, she also found stuff that I could use to modify my baseball bat a little bit. Today was a success but our food source is thinning out. We need some more food so we decided to check out the supermarket, candy, chocolate, chips, and some bottle water. We made a deal, she brings all the food, I'll bring the gears. She's pretty damn tough, I'm telling you that much. She asked me what I wanted to be, I said dance. I'm a pretty good dancer I must say, not mean to be brag but yeah. She told me to teach her some moves but I couldn't. "C'mon man, dance for me." Said she, "yeah. Haha. You wish." I said. We walked outside and we heard some noise. Not craze, it's someone speaking through a walkie talkie. We scattered around the street and found the walkie talkie. We decided to respond, and ask where the person with the other talkie might be at. She said that she's with her little brother in a house with a tree house. We wondered for hours and then "Mike look !" Lexi spotted the tree house.", "Hood job kiddo." We walked towards it but the house is over run. Maybe that's why these guys want us to come. To help them clear the path. I didn't trust them at first but Lexi convinced me. She peeked through the fence and said the girl has a little brother. So we decided to go and get them. On the way there, there was a horde of these fuckers coming from behind us. So without any hesitation I boosted Lexi up the fence, I climbed it and I told Lexi that we should get on that treehouse, and that's how we ended up here. We just keep talking, and I'm trying really hard to keep them calm. It's midnight and I told them to find somewhere to hide and sleep until Lexi and I managed to get to them. Tomorrow is going to be tough for me and Lexi. But I trust her, she seems like she can handle herself better now that she took out a guy with a single bullet the other day.

Day 12, July 8th 2013 - Her First Kill.

12:16 AM

"Hey kiddo, wake up." I said. "I'm sorry mike." Said she, "About what?" I said, "About your little sister, I'm sorry that I stole the letter from Dion to you too." I guess we can never escape from the past. We ate, we didn't talk, just ate. The craze and the cutters were still outside, so I made a plan. I distracted the the craze and cutters, bait them and I told Lexi to throw both molotov when I give her a signal. I boosted her up on the roof, I said to her, after you threw the molotov, hide in the attic. I will run and meet her back in the attic in 20 minutes, and if I don't I probably need some help. I'm counting on her on this one. "Don't miss." I said, "I know, teamwork?", "teamwork yeah." I said. I went out and yelled as loud as I could and ran for my life. I went pass Lexi and gave her the signal. Boom right on fucking target. "Nice fucking shot Lexi, keep doing it." I yelled while running away. I waited in a store, looted some stuff and made sure there are no more cutters or craze around the house. I found some candy, then went back to the attic. Gave her the candy and she loved it. We got out of the house safely, we walked back crossing the border, we were planning on going to  rural areas like the prairies, but then we encountered some bastards. These guys killed a guy, cold blooded murderers. We followed them into the forest, and then we found their small post. Since she wanted to help, I had to teach her roughly on how to aim her revolver properly. I think she can handle the gun. I sneaked on them, put one of them on choked and killed him. My hope was high but one guy spotted me. I almost died man, but then I heard the first gunshot from Lexi's. Right through the fucking head. I shot the other two guys and that was it, 4 in total. "Keep doin' it kiddo." I whispered to myself. She seemed to be in shock, I understand what it feels like, killing people for the first time. I asked her if she wants to talk about it but she said no. I guess, this is it for today I think, she looks tired and about to fall asleep. Me too actually, kinda sleepy. I guess we'll continue the journey tomorrow. Brother, hope I can find you soon.

Day 11, July 7th 2013 - That Was a Close One

10:58 PM

We had no idea where to go next after that incident at the military base. We just walked with no direction. I was about to give up and then Lexi give me this radio. We spent hours on it just to keep ourselves up to date to what the government might say. We walked into a suburbs, when we got into a small alley, I tripped a garbage can and alerted the craze, even worse, there were 2 cutters there too. We backed out, we run as fast as we can but guess what? Dead end. I boosted Lexi up the wall and threw my cousin's revolver up there so she could protect herself on the roof. I didn't know where to go so I just hid inside the house. "Geez.. Kiddo, I'll get you. Dont worry." I said to myself. There was an air vent leading to the attic and I thought i could yell so she can hear me. She did. I told her to dig her way down to the attic and I said I'll meet her there. She was panicked, worried. Me too, I was worried that something bad will happen to her. She dug and got into the attic and I cleared the house. I met her in the attic, she almost cried, and I hugged her. "You okay?" I said, "yeah, I'm scared Mike." She said. "Don't worry, I'm here now." I sat down, we stayed there hours and decided to stay. She is sleeping on my legs now, talking in her sleep, poor girl. Im gonna keep her safe, I promised myself. We are too tired, we didn't even bother to eat. Today was a hard day for us, the craze are outside, I can hear the fucking cutters, and hopefully this little girl will hold long enough until we find my brother.

Day 10, July 6th 2013 - Secret to Disaster.

12:06 AM

I woke up from my sleep this morning, it was the best sleep I've ever had in a long time man. I sat down, and then Lexi walked up to me with a bowl of hot deer soup.  "Better, not taste like shit." I said, "haha. Fuck you." She said. I ate the soup, man this soup was pretty darm good I must say, but I didn't say it. "Where'd Dion go?", "Oh, he's going to loot some more stuff somewhere." She said, "So he just left you alone? Fucking guy." I said. We sat there and talked, then we heard gunshots. Lexi and I ran there and saw Dion lying down on the floor. I sat there, Lexi went towards his body. "Holy shit, he was bitten." She said. "No. Nono.". I walked up to his body and saw the mark. I had a mental breakdown. I just sat there and think, I guess he didn't want to turn to one of those things. He wrote a note, "I'm sorry I'm letting you down guys, I didn't wanna tell you about this because I'm scared that one of you are gonna do it which will be a tough decision. So I decided to do it myself. Mike, get Lexi to a better place, take care of her. I know it's hard for you to be reminded of your little sister but you gotta do this man. For her, for all of us. I'm sorry I couldn't go any further with you. You've been a great, the greatest cousin. Thanks for everything man, there are some weapons, food, and water I found. Good luck my friend." I took the note and didn't show it to Lexi, then we decided to walked away from the army base. I didn't talk for the whole day, Lexi was in shock, she apologized about my cousin but it didn't matter. He's down. We burried him beside the building. "I'm sorr..", "Do not EVER bring that up again, and second, you stay close to me and don't do anything unless I told you to." I said, "sure." We walked and found a great place to camp for the night close to a lake in the forest. I managed to kill 3 craze, not a big deal anymore. Choked the one behind the tree, the the other one's head and I told Lexi to distract the other one and boom, I broke it's leg. We decided to chain it to a tree as our watchdog from other raiders, even though I'm risking our safety, but it seemed like it didn't bother her at all. Well she asked why with concern but I explained it to her so yeah. Today is really shitty. "Let's go kiddo, help me build this thing." I said. We built a camp and I let her asleep. I don't want her to know anything about the note, especially about my little sister. Yeah, she was dead because she was bitten by a fucking craze. Put a bullet through her head. We'll see how thing goes tomorrow, but I'll make sure to keep Lexi safe.
