Angel with Broken Wings

Chapter 1

Adelaide’s P.O.V.

 

“BREAKING NEWS! The virus has now spread down to the Carolinas and should make its way into Georgia soon.  Remember, shoot the infected in the brain and go to Atlanta. There is a refugee center. Get there as fast as possible, keep your radios on for any upda-“

The T.V. broadcast was cut short by the power in my house turning off.  If I wasn’t freaked out before, I definitely am now! I am supposed to wait for my brother to come back from Atlanta and get me from our house so we can leave together, but I’m not sure if we have that much time to waste. I had my bags packed next to me and a hunting knife in my hand.  Don’t let that give you the wrong impression, I’m not some bad-ass warrior princess that can use a knife like a ninja, I simply would go hunting with my brother now and then. But even so, I would mainly just watch him do everything.  I eventually stood up and started pacing back and forth to try to calm myself down, my breathing was fast and labored and I was about to have a panic attack

“IM JUST GONNA SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE , I SHAKE IT OFF, SHAKE IT OFF”

I jumped at least 10 feet high at the sound of my own ringtone. I ran over to the phone and answered it as fast as I could with my already shaky hands.

“Frankie are you okay? Where are you? Are you close? Are you safe? Are you-“

My little rant was cut short by my brother yelling to get my attention.

“ADDIE! Calm down, I’m fine, but you need to take the truck and meet me in Atlanta. They have guards on the outskirts of Atlanta and won’t let me out”

I stood frozen in my spot. Me? Drive to Atlanta alone? The freaks could be all over the place by the time I get halfway there! I started to hyperventilate and my knees were starting to buckle

“Addie please calm down! Just breathe okay? Remember, deep breathes, just like old times. You can do it”

I started taking deep breathes and my breathing was going back to normal. I haven’t had an attack like that since we were younger.

“You okay?”  His voice rang through the phone

“I am now” I softly smiled even though I know he couldn’t see it.

“Okay good, I know this is tough but you can do it. You have my knife right?”

“Yes” I said barely above a whisper. I was so frightened at the thought of being alone

“Now, all you need to do is take your bags, get in the car, and get here as fast as possible. You will be just fine.”

I let out a deep sigh before I stood up and grabbed my bags and keys and headed out the door into my truck.

“Okay, I’ll be there as soon as poss-“

I was cut off (once again) by screaming on his end of the phone.

“Frankie? What was that?”

I heard the phone drop and then screaming and gunshots. I was now full-on FREAKING OUT!

“HELLO? PLEASE ANSWER!” I was now screaming with tears steadily streaming down my face.

“FRANKIE?!?! Please answer, I need you, PLEASE!” I was hysterically crying and begging for a response.

Beep beep beep

And just like that all phone service was down. I was still crying and begging into my phone like he would still somehow magically respond to me. But deep down I knew, that was probably the last time I was ever going to speak to my brother.
