"Where in an apocalypse and that's the question you think to ask.? Find a safe place to sleep in... I'll look around" he said then jump o my a small building, then to a higher one till he reached the one that looked like the highest.

Samantha went back to the car and got in driving into a hidden area.

Lone looking around on top of a building. He saw a monster then jumped towards it.

Samantha was tired that she slept after parking the car. Samantha drifted in a dream.

Little samantha was running In a huge smiling mansion, a woman chasing after her.

"Hey! Stop running am tired now" the woman said then sat down.

Samantha walked back to the woman.

"Mommy what's wrong you're lazy today?" She asked with a worried look.

"Got you" the woman pulled samantha into a hug.

Samantha laughed while trying to escape.

"Mom you're cheating" she said then hugged her mom after failing to escape.

"So samantha how about being a hero when you grow up?" Her mother asked.

"Yeah I wanna be a hero just like daddy!" She shouted.

"Don't shout like that you're gonna burst my ear drums" her mother said while hugging her.

The dream kept up for a few minutes till she drifted into another dream. She was in the dream as her adult self. She looked around the place which seemed to be how the world was like before the war. She scouted the area she was at until she found people in the area. The people where leaving in poverty, it was a dump. She kept looking around until she saw a boy.

"That kid looks like lone" she followed the boy.

The boy bad a back pack, he kept walking until he bumped into someone who was infront of him, older and he looked stronger.

"Hey guys come out, we have a new kid" the man said.

Four men come from the near by house's.

"So kid what do you have in your bag" the first man asked while the kid was surrounded.

"There not mine I was sent" the kid moved back only to find there was someone behind him.

"Kid put the bag down and leave!" The second man said.

Samantha was watching from a corner.

"Sorry I can't leave this bag" the boy said and pinned the bag to his body.

"You've chosen the hard way!" The man threw a punch but the boy dodged and tried to run.

The other men caught him.

"Kid if you watch a little tv doesn't make you special!" The man punched the kid in the gut.

The kid spat out blood and his he only started weeping. He dropped tears with zero sound.

"We have a tough one" the Man punched him again.

This time the kid screamed.

Samantha growing tired of this went to stop them but she couldn't touch any of the people.

The kid was bit up still holding his bag. All four men started stomping on him with there big legs.

"Enough... Of... This" the boy tried to get up but was kicked and he was thrown to the side like a soccer ball. He spat more blood, tears streaming down his face.

"What's even wrong with you kid drop the bag we leave you, it's that simple" the guy said while walking towards the kid.

The kid got up in pain and made a ran for it.

The other men started running after him. After a while of running they caught up. They surrounded him again. Samantha also reached the scene. Walked closer to have a better view.

"Kid we don't wanna hurt you, just give us the bag and we'll leave you" they said.

"If only my parents didn't forbid fightin'...you guys... Wouldn't... Have a ... Chance..." The boy said breathlessly with blood soaking his clothes.

"Did I hear this right? We wouldn't stand a chance" one man said

The others started laughing.

Samantha kept watching.

The kid put his bag down, a smirk formed on his face.

"Mr big guy wants to fight now" the man threw a punch which the kid dodged then grabbed his bag and ran away. This time they didn't be catch only samantha was able to catch up but the kid couldn't see her.

"Hope ...it's not...broken" he took from his bag a note book and a phone which was perfectly intact. After seeing the phone was okay he smiled.

"I can call grandma now"...

Samantha felt her eyes opening. When they opened she looked around, she was in the car and it was still night time.

"Lone" she said to herself...
