That night I couldn't sleep so I went out to the terrace. As I was standing I saw a light form the road then a voice.

Mike: Heyy, you can't sleep?

Me: Yea, just thinking what this world has turned into.

Mike: They'll deal with it.

Me: You think?

Mike: Yeah, let's go. You need to sleep. I'll keep you company.

The sound of the door opening woke us up. We heard some strange voices yelling.

"Come out I won't hurt you. If you don't I'll find you."

We hear a door open and V's voice.

V: Okay, what do you want?

"Where's the rest of your group."

*Phil walks out*

Phil: it's just us.

"Oh great. I thought I'd have to kill more people but two it is. "

V: Okay, we don't have to do that.

"Oh a couple, great."

I grab the gun and run out. As I heard the safety unbuckle, I pulled the trigger. Out of shock, I collapse.

Veronicas, Mikes and Phils POV

V: What happened? Where did the gun come from?

Mike: I don't know, she just pulled it out of her bag.

Phil: I'll go check on Marc.

V: She'll be fine. Just let her take a nap.

Phil: We've got a problem. Marc is gone.

Mike: What?

V: Wtf, where did he go?

Mike: Phil and I will go look for him. You should stay with M.

Phil: Yeah. Let's go.

Later

Me: What happened?

V: Oh, nothing really special, you should just rest.

Me: Where's Mike?

V: Oh he and Phil went to scavenge. They'll be back soon...

When they came back I talked to Mike and found out he shot the man. I thought I did something but I guess he did.

The next day we decided to look for Marc. We thought that maybe that guy scared him and he ran away or left intentionally. We searched for hours and found nothing. We decided to just let it go, then we saw a car with its lights on in the bushes.

Mike: Hey guys, do you see that?

V: Yeah it looks like our car.

Phil: We should check it out.

Me: I don't know. It looks suspicious.

V: Oh come on. Don't be a crybaby.

Me: Fine. I just hope we don't regret this.

We did.

As we got closer to the car, it looked empty. Weird. We took a look through the windows and I saw a necklace I gave to Marc, before...

Me: This is our car.

V: How do you know?

Me: See that necklace. I gave it to him for our eight-month anniversary.

Mike: I will open the doors if you wanna take it.

I don't know if I should take it. If he's dead I don't have a memory, if he's not...

Me: Yeah, thanks.

* bushes ruffling *

V: Ammm....guys...

Phil: What is it?

V: I think I saw something in the bushes.

Mike: It's probably just one of those things. I'll check it out.

Me: We should just get going. This place weirds me out.

V: We'll go in a sec.

We waited for Mike to come back, but he wasn't coming back, so I decided to look for him.

I did find him. In a pool of this own blood. In the middle of the street. He'd been shot. I tried I did. The bullet hit one of his organs.

Me: Omg Mike! No! Not again. What happened? You know what, don't speak. We'll talk later.

Mike: M, you know we don't have later.

Me: No, that's not true. I can't lose you again.

The last thing he said to me was "Marc". I didn't know what it meant but if he is responsible for this I have to find him.
