Atzi's POV:  I looked at the other side of the store terrified. We heard noises coming from the other side and just froze. We didn't know where Nadia was still. I was hoping it was her that made that big bang. I decided that I would go check out what it was.  A: hold on I'm going to see what it is.  S: are you crazy?!?!! What if it's one of those purgers from the warehouse? They could kill you!!   A: if it was them they would have came with a bigger group and would have came out by now and killed us.  S: or this is probably just one of their other tricks for one of us to go look to see what made that noise then kill us!!!   A: I don't care I'm still going to go look. Stay here.  S: no way I'm going with you!!  A: fine just stay behind me and stay quiet.  I got my gun and flashed the light to the direction the noise came from. Sandra was behind me doing the same thing that I was doing. My heart was beating rapidly because what if Sandra was right? It might be one of the purgers from the warehouse. This could be a trick so they could kill us. We were getting closer to the place where the noise came from. There was a door a little bit opened. I stopped and tried to calm myself and took a deep breath. I finally was calm and went to the door. I heard more noises coming from the room. I was so scared, but I had to do this so we could be safe. I went up to the door and opened it a little more. Once it opened completely I stepped back and pointed out my gun. There was nothing there so I'm guessing it was just a raccoon or some type of animal. I sighed in relief as looked at Sandra .   A: there is nothing in there.  S: are you sure?   A: yeah it was probably just a raccoon or some- I was cut off by a big scream. Guy: arms up!!!!!  Me and Sandra screamed and we turned around with our guns pointed at the guy. I was shocked who the guy was.  A: mattia?!??!!!    M: Atzi?!?!   A:omg mattia!!! You scared the hell out of me!!!  M: sorry.   A: it's fine.  I was really happy that it was mattia and not one of the purgers. I couldn't help, but hug him. Surprisingly he hugged me back really tight.  S: omg...my chest hurts!!!!   M: I'm so sorry Sandra I didn't mean to scare you.   S: it's fine...just...just don't do that again.   M: okay I promise.  I smiled at mattia.   S: okay well...I'm going to go and leave you two love birds alone.  I smiled and blushed a little bit. I looked at mattia and he was blushing HARD.  I laughed a little bit and looked at Sandra. She was about to turn around and leave when all of a sudden she screams.   S: AHHHHH!!!!!!    I screamed because I got scared as well. I pointed my gun at the shadow figure. Turns out it was just Kairi. He screamed as well, but said something.  K: what the fuck is wrong with you guys its just me!!!!  S: sorry we didn't know.  A: yeah...plus your short so you looked like a gremlin.  We all laughed except Kairi. He just looked at me and flipped me off. I did the same and chuckled a little bit. He went to Sandra and hugged her really tight. It was cute and I couldn't take how cute of a couple they would look like.  A: aww!! Couple goals!!!!   S: shut up!   I laughed because she was blushing hard.  I remembered that they didn't have Alejandro with them.  A:hey where is Alejandro?   Ale: I'm right here. I kind of jumped because he came right behind mattia.  A: oh my god you scared me a little bit.  Ale: sorry.  A: it's alright.   We all hugged each other because we were that we found each other.  Ale: hey where is Nadia?   Omg I forgot about Nadia!!!  A: I forgot about her!!  Have you guys seen her while you were looking for things?   M,k,ale: no
A: dang it!!!    S:we have to go and find her now!!  A: okay let's go upstairs. We went to go look for Nadia. I pray to god that she is okay.
End of POV.

Nadia's POV: I finally made it to the medicine aisle. My side was killing me and I needed to look for the pain killers fast. I went to the pills and was looking for pain killers. I finally found some and took them. I took two of them because the pain was unbearable. I drank them down and waited a couple of minutes for them to work. It started working a little bit, but hopefully soon I don't feel pain anymore. I heard some footsteps coming from the stairs and put the pills in my backpack. I took some other medicine for anything that could help with pain or anything for the girls and I. Once I was done I got my gun and put it up in the air. If there was someone here with us I just wanted to take precaution.
End of POV.

The footsteps got closer and closer to me. I heard faint voices from a head of me. It sounded like a girl. Her voice sounds familiar. A: Nadia!!!!   I heard my name being called, but I just thought I was hearing things. Then a second voice spoke up and it sounded familiar to me again.  S: Nadia!!! Where are you?!?!!   I knew those voices instantly. It was my friends looking for me. I put down my gun and started running to where their voices were coming from.  N: guys!!! Guys I'm over here!!!  I saw a light coming close to me. It got closer and I saw the girls running to me while other lights helped them see where I was. I was suspicious on who they were with, but right now all I cared about was seeing my friends again and knowing they were safe. I couldn't really run because of my side, but I didn't make it noticeable.  N: guys!!!    A,S: Nadia!!!   They both hugged me really tight to the point where I couldn't breathe. They touched my side on accident and it hurt. I made a small noise and they heard.  A: Nadia are you okay?!?!   N:yeah...yeah I'm fine it's just....just you hugged me hard and I couldn't breathe.  S:sorry we didn't mean to.  N: no no it's fine.  I smiled at them and hugged them again. I pulled apart from the hug and looked at the people who where with them.  N: who are they? A: it's mattia, Kairi and Alejandro!!!   N: no way.   I didn't believe it at first, but then they shined the lights to their faces.   N: omg it really is you guys!!  K: yeah it is.  Mattia and Kairi gave me a hug. Then Alejandro gave me a hug and he hugged me tight and didn't let me go. We stayed like that for a while and they were looking at us.  K: oooo Alejandro has a girlfriend!!!   Ale: shut up Kairi!!   We all laughed and me and Alejandro pulled away from our hug. I looked at him and smiled and he smiled back at me.  A: so did you find anything useful?   N: yeah I did actually. I found flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit and more knives. Also I found some medicine to help us with anything.   M: Danm you really found all that stuff?   N: Yeah I did.   K: we barely found anything that we needed.  A: what do you guys need?   Ale: anything that helps us survive.  I guess they were doing the same thing as us. I was kind of wondering if they had a place safe where me and the girls could stay. I wanted to ask, but I just felt like it was rude to ask.   M:you guys have anywhere to stay?   S: no we where staying at Nadia's place but- I cut Sandra off because I didn't want them to know what happened. I still have the memory going through my head.  N: but we decided not to stay there and go somewhere safer.  I looked at the girls hinting to lie to them because I didn't want them to know. They finally got it and went along with it.  A: yeah we thought that it wasn't to safe to stay there so we went somewhere else.   S: yeah, but we didn't have any luck finding anything.  We all smiled at the boys and they gave us puzzling faces.  Ale:then why do you guys have blood all over you?   Danm I forgot that we had blood all over us.   K: also why is Nadia's face all messed up?!?!!  By this time they were catching on that we were lying. I didn't know what to do or say so I looked at the girls for help. They looked at me and shrugged there shoulders.  N:well...umm...you...you see...ehh. I kept stuttering and didn't know what to do. Alejandro came up to me and looked at my face examining every single bruise and cut on my face. I can tell he was mad because his jaw was clenched.  Ale: who did this to you?!?!!   N:umm...    Ugh what do I say!!! I have nothing to say and I look stupid just stuttering not saying anything. Finally Atzi decided to tell the truth because she saw me struggling.   A: it was purgers . Their leader did that to her because she kept giving him attitude so he kept beating her to death.   I looked away ashamed because I couldn't tell the truth. It's not easy telling people the truth and find out how they would react. It was quite and I still was looking away not picking my head up. Finally Alejandro started to say something after a couple of minutes.   Ale: is this true Nadia?   I looked up at him and I can see in his eyes that he was mad and sad. I nodded my head in response. The guys looked at me with sadness in their eyes. Alejandro hugged me and I hugged back after a couple of minutes. Then the others hugged me.  M: I'm sorry that this had to happen to you.  N: it's fine. It's not like I've gotten beaten up before.   I said while I Smiled and  chuckled a little bit. I saw that Kairi whispered something to mattia in his ear. Mattia nodded his head and looked at me and the girls.   M: we have some where safe for you guys to stay at. If you guys want you can come with us and stay with us until this is over. We have food, drinks, weapons and blankets. It's your choice.    I looked at the girls and they nodded their head.   N: yeah we'll go with you.  Mattia smiles at me and looked back behind him to make sure no one was there.   M: okay well we have to go now. So get whatever you have and let's go.   We all nodded and followed the boys. Alejandro stayed by my side and didn't leave me. I'm happy he didn't because I was kind of scared. I'm happy that the boys are helping us. We really do owe them big time.
