Zach's POV

"We're almost there." Nova says, waking me from my sleep

I look at her.

"Good." I say

"Mimi wake up." Nova says, keeping her eye on the road but shaking Mimi

Mimi rubs her eyes and sits up.

"Whoa." Mimi says

I look ahead.

We are pulling into a driveway and at the end of it is this amazing log cabin. I can hear water rustling through the open window in the van so I assume there's a river near the cabin, but I cant see it.

"Here we are." Nova says as she stops the van beside the cabin.

Nova gets in the glove box and pulls out a little radio.

"We will use this to see if there is a safe zone. I don't know if we will get any service out here." She says

She gets out of the car and Mimi follows her. I get out too.

Everyone starts filing out of the back of the van.

"Finally!" Kiki whispers

"So this is it. It isn't much but it will do until we find a safe zone." Nova says.

She is about to continue talking but she is cut off by barking.

A big black Labrador comes out from the woods to the left of the cabin.

"Oh my gosh! Get that mutt away!" Beth yells

"Maggie?? Hi girl!!" Nova says excitedly and she bends down and the dog, which I'm assuming is named Maggie, trots up to Nova

"There's a guy that used to live a few acres away from here and this was his dog. She would come over here every time Roy, Dad, and I would go hunting here. I don't know how she is still alive considering the fact that the man that owned her is dead." Nova explains

Roy goes up to Maggie and pats her on the head. "Hey girl." He says

"Alright. Everyone grab something out of the van and bring it inside." Nova says, standing up.

Kiki's POV

I go and grab the ammo bag.

That was a mistake.

I almost drop the bag.

Louis comes up and takes the bag.

"Don't want ya hurting yourself now do we?" He says with a grin

••••••TIME SKIP••••••

I'm just sitting in the living room.

People are either asleep in there rooms or outside getting a bonfire ready.

I hear the screen door to the patio open and look up to see Louis.

"What are you doing in here?" He asks

"Just thinking." I say

"Don't think too much." He says smiling

I smile back.

He sits on the little one-seat sofa thats next to the sofa Im on.

"So, tell me about yourself and your friends." He says

"It will take a while." I say

"I got time." He replies

"Okay. Well who do I start with?" I ask
