Survival Ties (The Outbreak Chronicles Book 1) Read Online Free PDF

green and wide, the
little boy was still crying.
    “Hi sweetie what’s your name?”
Sydney asked the girl as she crouched down in front of the boy.
    “I’m Angela and he’s Thomas. Do
you know where our parents are?” Angela asked.
    “We didn’t see anyone else.
When did you last see them?” Sydney asked.
    “When we were attacked. They
made us stay and hide here, they said they’d be back, but they had to make sure
we would be safe first.” Angela responded, her tears slipping down her cheeks.
    Sydney looked over her shoulder
at me and I could tell we were both thinking the same thing. The chances of
their parents still being alive were slim to none.
    “Let’s get you two onto our bus
and Ashlyn and I will take a look around to see if your parents found a safe
place to hide.” Sydney suggested, taking Angela’s hand. Angela nodded and followed
us out of the RV. Tone was pumping the gas into the bus as we walked up. Sydney
left Angela and Thomas with me as she went to fill Tone in on what we had
learned.
    Angela was looking around when
she started screaming. At first I didn’t see anything, but then I saw where she
was looking.
    Daisy and Sam were running
towards us and right behind them were people with red eyes.
    I pushed Angela and Thomas
towards the bus and they ran but I didn’t think Sam and Daisy were going to
make it back to the bus. I could hear Sawyer screaming on the bus but couldn’t
hear what she was saying.
    I was looking behind me when
hands grabbed me and shoved towards the bus and someone was running past me
towards Sam and Daisy. I focused on Jenny drawing the attention of the Red Eyes
as she threw herself into the group of them.
    They converged on her. She
never screamed and within seconds she was gone under the mass of the group of
Red Eyes. Sam grabbed my arm and dragged me after him back onto the bus that
Tone already had running. As soon as we boarded he started driving.
    “What about Jenny?” Sawyer
cried, staring out the window where the pile of Red Eyes was still squirming.
    “She’s gone.” Sam told her
looking in the same direction.
    “So we’re not even going to
try?” Sawyer yelled at Sam.
    “Now listen, she sacrificed
herself to give us all a chance to get out of there. You remember that.” Sam
told her, “You give thanks. But she is past us being able to help her. Look at
that pile—I don’t think there’s even going to be enough of her left to rise
when the Red Eyes are done.”
    Sam grabbed her shoulders and
forced her to look at him. Sawyer melted into him crying and he held her
rocking her back and forth.
    “It’ll be okay Sawyer. We’ll
all be okay.” Sam was whispering to her as she cried.
     
     
    We moved Angela and Thomas into the
room Jenny had stayed in.
    Neither one of them said much,
the only thing we could do was let them process. I wanted to hope their parents
had survived, but I knew they had more than likely went the same way Jenny had.
    I tried to take comfort in what
Sam had said and believe Jenny wouldn’t come back. But I knew in my dreams she
would be there with red eyes.
    Axel stayed by Sawyer’s side
since she had curled up on the couch. He was holding her hand as she stared off
into nothing. Sam said she’d be okay in time. She was just processing what had
happened.
    At this rate I wondered if we
would even make it to Paradis Roulette. Sam seemed determined. He had
disappeared up to the front of the bus with Tone and they had the door shut. So
whatever they were discussing we weren’t aware of. I figured they were planning
our route and dealing with the loss of Jenny.
    “Hey.” Daisy said as she sat
down next to me on the bed.
    “Hey.” I responded.
    “I’m sorry about your friend.”
Daisy told me.
    “She wasn’t really my friend.
Sawyer dated her son and she ended up with us after her husband went crazed at
my sister’s celebration of life. In the chaos she ended up with us. I feel
horrible that I didn’t try to get to
