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 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.
