"He was killed along with one other." The man left. Sara got up," I'm gonna go for a walk eat the berries if you're hungry." I sat there silently.

I heard a piercing scream. "SARA!! SARA!!" I yelled as I ran out the door. I ran into the woods. I found Sara lying on the ground with a knife in her stomach. "Sara...." "Lana get out of here they're going to kill you. Run. RUN!!"

Sara pushed me away. I ran with tears in my eyes. I looked back one more time." Run..." Sara whispered.

I couldn't go home. I just climbed up in a tree and fell asleep.

I woke up to see I was on the ground and beside a fire. A boy my age was tending to it. "Hello," he said."Hi. Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Cyrus. What's your name?" "Lana." "That's a pretty name." "Thank you."

"Did you hear about the murders?" "Yes, my sister was killed." "Oh I'm sorry." "It's okay you didn't know." "I lost my family to starvation a couple years ago."

"That's sad my parents died close to the end of the disasters." "So I guess we're both alone." "Yeah."
