Hope Defeated [Editing]

Shard - Day 6

Finally I realized who it was as well as Alex. It was Jack's sister who was a year younger than him. I sighed in relief with Alex when we saw who it was.

"Jack that could have been a zombie." I shouted to him.

"Yea but I was willing to risk it." I laughed as walked up to him to see his sister cowering into Jack.

"Hi your Ann right?" I asked trying my best at a friendly smile. The girl nodded still frightened as more figures appeared. Jack was walking to them but as they came to view Alex stopped him with her arm.

"Zombies." I stated. Everyone turned and ran including Jack's little sister. We rounded a corner and panted as we broke into a house, trying to hide.

"That was close." We all sighed and began to look around for anything of use. Alex began to say something but all the words began to blend together.

- End Flashback -

I woke up in a strange room and got up freely without restraints.

"Your awake, good." I turned to the voice to see creepy from yesterday.

"What do you want." I put a 'f off' expression on my face.

"Ah your friends are in the other rooms, but which of you is highest ranking a most you?" I growled and he laughed pulling out a knife.

"I always get answers, one way or another." He grinned like a maniac. I fell back and coughed clearing my throat.

"That would be Alex and I." I spat.

"Good, you can die first, unless you help us."

"Excuse me?"

"You bring us to where we need."

"And who put you in charge, aren't you just an underling?" He darkened at that and spit next to me.

"No I lead my group. We are sometimes called 'canabals' or 'religious maniacs' but we prefer The Order. We are chosen by the Lord to survive and eat the weak, or banish them to hell. Now may I ask a question?" I nod.

"Are you weak?" He paused as if waiting for something. In a split second I kicked him square on the jaw, but he was almost ready for it.

"Good you aren't, the last person here simple said no.  Do you know what happened to them?" I shook my head, he was still holding my foot.

"We burned them, cooked them, then ate them." He finished with an animal like look for hunger a on his face. I was simply speachless.

"Now follow me, you will have two choices here. One you join us, we always want new members. Two we roast you. Your choice." He smiled at me and I just glared at him.

"Why I don't even know your name!" I snarled back at him.

"Ah then let's have a proper introduction, for I don't know yours either." He smiled and bowed.

"I am Justin Hareven. I am a messenger of god, loyal to my faith. And you?"

"I am Miranda Of the I don't give a shit." I snorted, though 'Justin' looked pissed.

"Please properly introduce yourself rude people taste bad." My eyes widened as he laughed showing it was a joke, hopefully.

"I am Miranda. I am from erm Expedition, the savior outpost." His eyes widened in amazement.

"That's a beautiful name!"

"Erm  thanks?" He smiled and pulled me by my wrist, wow this guy was really bipolar.
