Teens & the end of the world Chapter 16


Meanwhile, Herbie and the rest came across a left turn of the main road, “do we continue or turn left here?” Ritchie asked, “I say left” said rob, “we can always come back if it’s a dead end” said grace, so they set off down a new road, looking in all the abandoned cars to see if they had the keys in, which led to sign that Ritchie read aloud, ‘New inn, one and a half miles’, oh well at least we know there’ll be supplies or even a town there” he reassured the group, “I’m so hungry” Grumbled Bella rubbing her stomach, “yeah, we all are” Herbie sighed putting his hands in his pockets, Then as they approached a dark green ford fiesta they could hear crying, they all looked at each other in wonder, and Ritchie said “you lot stay here I’ll go check it out” he slowly walked about ten feet around the car before looking into the back left window, when another scream was heard, “Oh shit shit shit shit shit!” he said rapidly whilst putting his hands on his head and turned around, “what? What is it?” asked Megan, “come take a look for yourself, shit!” he replied rubbing his chin leaning against the car door, they all ran up to the green ford fiesta, “oh for god’s sake” herbie sighed, Bella leaned into the car and there was a clicking sound was heard, she pulled out a 6-7 month year old baby wearing a bright blue baby grow, she cradled it to stop it from crying, “what are we supposed to do now?” Rob asked, “well there’s only one thing we can do, and that’s take him with us, until we can find a safe place or someone who can look after him properly” Herbie replied with a look of anger on his face, “we couldn’t of found him at a worse time” he continued, “come on let’s keep going, we don’t know if Lewis and Lily are still okay” Bella said hastily, so the group continued walking down the road. They reached the end of the road which opened up into three pathways all leading into different parts of a small town, They took the middle path which led up a ramp into a large car park which was packed with cars that were crashed into each other from all directions, “this doesn’t look promising” Ritchie sighed as they reached the top of the ramp, “first things first let’s sort out the baby’s need’s, does anyone know what a baby needs?” he asked, there was pure silence with not even a murmur, “of course you don’t” he sighed, they walked on a path that was to the left of the car park where there were shops on the right hand side, they passed by a supermarket which had writing on the window, it read ‘take what you need and good luck!’ “ok guys, straight in straight out” herbie demanded, “take what we need and that’s all” he continues. They split up and went to an aisle each. Bella found the baby supplies on the right aisle and picked up a dark purple pram and placed the baby boy into it, she picked up clothing, baby food, and bottles, she put them in the pouch underneath the pram and continued to the end of the aisle where she met Rob looking at the newspaper, ‘vaccines create global pandemic’ the cover story read, “oh hey, I didn’t see you there” rob said to Bella, “nice wheels, did you get the supplies for him?” he asked, she smiled “I got the essentials” she replied picking up a gossip magazine, “ooh Justin Beiber releases new song, shame I’ll never hear it” she said with disappointment in her voice, Rob rolled his eyes at her “yeah... shame” he sarcastically replied and continued reading, until he remembered Herbie’s instructive orders “ come one we should probably get going and they walked down the end aisle scanning each shelve carefully, picking up the odd thing or two like chewing gum, They saw the rest of the group stood outside the store waiting for them, They got outside and saw Ritchie with a large mountaineering back pack, “we all done?” Herbie asked already knowing the answer he continued walking down the path, looking into the shop windows they passed, Then they approached a large statue of a man riding a horse, in the centre of the town, there was also a large sign that read ‘WIN THIS CAR!” to the left of the statue, they got excited reading this, so they rushed around the corner of a large clothing shop they could see, a jet black, recently painted, jeep with a lightning bolt down the bonnet  parked inside small metal fences circled around it, “what are the odds the keys aren’t in their?” Rob said with a slight grin, “Well let’s take a look shall we?” Herbie said walking up to the jeep, the windows were tinted black so they couldn’t see inside, the pulled at the door handle, “surprise surprise, its fucking locked, just our luck” he said as he banged his fist against the window, which set of a very loud alarm, he raised his head as fear ran through his veins, suddenly they could hear groans from the distance, a few seconds passed and they could see the infected coming from all directions, they were all stood still in terror, not knowing what to do or how to escape.
