I know I'm on the dark side, the evil side but it for my own good. It was for my safety, I knew that if I didn't go with him in the early apocalypse time. I would have been torn apart and eaten by zombies. I always trusted him, and that him was Caleb Thompson, he had such a pure sweet heart. I sorta knew Caleb before the apocalypse a little bit.

But now he has changed into some demon, some leader that has nothing better to do then watch people suffer, and to kill for fun. I lost my sister 2 months ago in the apocalypse because of Caleb Thompson it was between me and her and he killed her right in front of me, shot her in the face. It was so horrifying I couldn't sleep for days for weeks, even months.

I cried every time I saw Caleb even near me, he laughed at me called me a wimp. He told me this was for my own good to toughen me up for the apocalypse, I believed him. He had a point for half the stuff he did, we needed to learn to loose to go through pain or else we are just nothing in a world where people are dying more and more in the blink of an eye, he told me all the time.

I felt so alone in the community until I met Autumn who showed up a week or two after I arrived with my sister, she is sweet and definitely follows by Caleb's rules more. I guess you could say she is one of his favourite's knowing she hasn't had to suffer as much as I had because of Caleb, but I know deep down she doesn't wanna have to go through the stuff everyone else does.

I try to talk to her convince her that she can talk to me if he has ever done anything secretly to her, but she just smiles at me and shakes her head before walking away leaving me their shocked, a month or two later a boy showed up with brown hair and a long sleeve cyan shirt, his name was Mason Harris. He and I talked for a while when he first showed up he was tied up in his hands by Caleb's men, and thrown into a cell.

Until he was proven trustworthy to Caleb, he stayed in the cell for about two weeks until Caleb finally had him wrapped around his finger and toughened him up enough to do proper work. Mason and I always talked secretly at night about the horrors we had to go through, we both had gone through the same thing. Mason talked about how he was taken from his camp as he had to watch the whole camp burn down into a crisp from the roaring flames.

He said he watched his parents get killed, along with his little brother who was only 10 years old. Who was sliced directly in the chest and fed to a bunch of zombies. Mason was forced to watch it all happen and he says he has been plotting revenge ever since he arrived but he knows he's to weak to stand up and fight him. Yesterday I was up in the watch tower all alone when I saw two cars show up to the community not to far away, I grabbed my walkie talkie when I heard people talking on it.

I tried to warn them not to show up, they seemed to have listened until Caleb had taken me away to go on a zombie watch with the group, I thought those people were safe until suddenly I was their standing outside of a barn at midnight as Caleb had broken into the barn with his men, and there sat 7 frightened people, I shook my head disappointed as me and Autumn took their stuff.

I had gone down to the cell they were placed in, the large one that Caleb kept me and Mason in when we first arrived. I placed their belongings in front of the cell door like I was asked, I kept noticing the way this one blonde boy would look at Autumn as she looked over at him sometimes.

I talked to them for a while until I left the room, " wait who is Caleb Thompson! " was the last thing I heard before I shut the door behind me. All I know is these people better stay serious or a few of them are gonna die tonight or tomorrow.

I woke up in the morning as I kept a straight face walking through the community to go to the cell when suddenly an arm flew in front of my chest stopping me in my tracks, " where do you think your going? " Mason stared over at me as I sighed, " to the cell " I looked at him when he looked around obviously looking for Caleb.

" you know your not aloud " He said as I scratched the back of my head, " it's fine Caleb's not here " I pushed his arm away before I heard him sigh behind me, I walked down the steps quickly grabbing the extra key I had taken and used in the door handle. I opened the door closing it behind me to a bunch of annoyed and confused faces all looking at me.

" your back " a brunette boy said as I stopped in front of the cage as I gulped before speaking, " give me ur names " I took my note pad out and a pen, I knew it wasn't meant to be doing this. Nobody was aloud to know anybody's names before Caleb, " please " I looked up as I licked my lips when nobody answered.

" Lucas Smith " the brunette boy spoke as I quickly hotter it down, the others sort of sighed before answering when Lucas nodded at them to do what they were asked. " Dylan Johnson " the blonde boy spoke, I jotted that down to. " Layla Johnson " an older looking girl replied. " Carla Jones " a dirty blonde haired girl smiled. " Oakley Johnson " a younger blonde girl nodded. " Nora Blaine " the brunette girl licked her lips. " Cally Jones " a blonde girl looked at me with innocent eyes as I looked at her with a smile.

" thank you " I replied as I quickly wrote down little descriptions of the people so I could remember who was who, " who are you " Lucas stared at me his eyebrows raised, " Lydia Rose " I put my note pad into my pocket and my pen, " those for your master or something? " Dylan joked as I sighed, " no actually just for myself, he's not supposed to know I'm here " I replied as Cally stood up walking over to the bars.

" why are you here then? " she stared as she had her lips out with a serious face, " because I don't want to be here as much as you guys don't " I tilted my head as I turned my head over when I saw the door handle rattling, in a panic I quickly ran to a different room and hid behind the door, " Hello Friends " Caleb Thompson had spoke as he was obviously there to do something.

" Don't touch her! " I heard the Carla girl scream when I heard some unsteady breathing sounds and dragging sounds out the door, " That's my sister! Don't hurt her please! " I heard the cry's from the girl still as I peeked my head around the corner seeing everyone still in the cell except for Cally, as I saw Carla was being held back and cradled in Dylan's arms. " it's okay Carla, she's gonna be okay I promise " he whispered to her comforting the scared girl.

" she won't be " I spoke out as they all looked at me, " what the hell do you mean by that! " Dylan got up and came face to face with me through the bars, " I mean she's fine for now but who knows what will happen " I kept a straight face staring at him, " what the hell is wrong with you people! " Dylan pointed directly at me as I breathed unsteady like, " I question what's wrong with us to, I never wanted to be here and now you guys are understanding why you shouldn't have come here, you should have listened to me! " I yelled at him as he paced around the cell.

" I'll get your sister I promise " I blurted out as Carla looked at me, " it may cost my life but I promise I'll get your sister back for you " I stuttered for a bit, I guess something about me just knew what it was like to loose a sister. And I knew I couldn't watch Carla loose her sister.

" you don't even know us why are you helping us?! " Nora got up from her seat standing in the same spot that Dylan was in before, " because I can't watch anymore innocent people go through hell like how I did " I shot a glare at her before turning and going out of the door.

I walked up the steps looking around as nobody was near, I followed the path where I knew people are usually taken. I walked into the room seeing two guards standing in front of it, " no access Lydia you know that " one spoke as I licked my lips, " you know how badly I can spread a rumour about you two " I smirked as the two of them looked at one another before raising a gun at my face, " and you know how badly I can shoot you right now " he spoke as I chuckled.

" mhm definitely " I kept a smirk on my face before kicking the guy in the shin and grabbing his gun before whipping the other guy in the back of the head with the same gun, they both were knocked out on the ground as I smiled sweetly. " don't underestimate me " I grabbed a pin from my pocket and opened the lock before walking down the stairs to the girl who sat against the wall tied up around her mouth and legs along with her hand, " Cally " I kneeled in front of the girl lifting her chin up as she had slowly opened her eyes looking tired.

" Lydia " she spoke when I took the cloth off her mouth and cut it off with my knife, " what are you doing? " she asked as I cut the rest of the cloths off that were tied on her body, " helping you " I looked at her weird as she was clearly dumb for not even knowing I was saving her. " why? " she asked again as I quickly grabbed her hand pulling her onto her feet, " because you were gonna die, can't have a pretty girl like you die, and I can't watch your sister cry anymore " I smiled before running up the stairs, " are they gonna be okay? " she pointed to the two guys on the ground.

" oh yeah their just sleeping " I ran out the door running quickly over to the stairs and running down with Cally, " Cally! " Carla screamed with excitement as she wrapped her arms around the girl once they were able to get to her when I opened the cage, I rested against the wall. A tear fell down my face, I don't know why this hurt me a lot but it did. This is what I wish had happened to me, but it didn't it ended up in me being the only Rose sister left.

I would do anything to be able to hold my twin sister again, she was everything to me, she was the light that led the way when I'm in my darkness, " Lydia help! " my sister had screamed when she grabbed onto the bars of the cell, this exact same cell these people were in. " Lizzie! " I remember screaming back to her as I tried to get to her but her hands had lost grip and she was already taken out the door.

" My sister please! " I screamed running out of the cell when a guard struggled to grab me as I was already out of the door, I remember sitting in the coldness as it was raining being pinned down by a guard as I saw him force my sister to her knees, " STOP! " I screamed when he looked at me dead in the eyes and laughed, he smiled and looked right back at my sister who was in tears and crying, " LIZZIE! " I screamed, " I love you Lydia always.. " I heard her say before she was shot directly in the head.

I remember my body being numb and weak as I remember my whole world stopping in that moment, I remember the guard lifting me up as I fell back down onto the ground not being able to stand anymore. I cried till the tears on my face dried up and i couldn't cry anymore.

" Lydia? Earth to Lydia! " I opened my eyes when I saw Carla standing in front of me tears in her eyes as she suddenly wrapped her arms around my body without a warning, I didn't know what it was like to hug someone. Or even get any physical touch, " thank you.. " she mumbled as I patted her back slightly.

" your welcome " I gulped before stepping away from her, I turned my head over when Mason walked in, " what the- " he spoke before I quickly grabbed him. " we are getting out of here and we are taking them with alright? " I said to Mason as he looked actually glad that I was finally saying this to him, " we have our cars? " Lucas said when I stopped him from saying more.

" you mean the cars that are completely destroyed now and blown up in the middle of the woods? " I glanced at him when he looked like he had rage over his face, " please tell me your sarcastic " he picked up his backpack putting it on his back as the rest of them put their backpacks on, " wish I was " I sighed when Mason stopped us all at the door.

" Mason what are you doing!? " I glanced at as I noticed the fear on his face, " are you sure you want to do this? You know what he is capable of right? " He reassured me as I nodded, " yes and I can't keep staying in this place with the murderer of my sister " I spoke when Mason nodded before opening the door we quickly all ran across the town, surprisingly we weren't spotted at all. We went through the back gates.

We ran down the street in the darkness as night time was the only good time to be able to sneak around, but also dangerous with zombies. " their gonna find us " Mason spoke as he kept looking back towards the place, " if one of us has to be punished it's me! " I said before going back to running again, " what no way " he spoke.
