Unholy Nightmare

The next morning, Mylo had shown me the way she had ran from and we went in that direction. We walked for several hours with rest breaks until the night came and then we would make our camp up in the safety of the trees so we both could get some much needed sleep. Sometimes while Mylo would be sleeping, I would be wide awake thinking about how her dad must feel with her missing. I know my parents would be out of their mind if I was lost. Mylo and I would talk while walking through the woods and from the sound of it her father and uncles are apart of the famous rock band Avenged Sevenfold. I've heard their music before the world went to hell and I can truthfully say that they are amazing but I don't know if I would be considered a fan since I don't know much about them. We stopped once we got to a town and decided to take shelter inside the grocery store.

"So does this place look familiar to you?" I asked as we walked down the middle of the road in this deserted town. Mylo looked around and then nodded her head.

"Yeah. This is one of the places we stopped at."

"Did you guys stop anywhere else after this town?" I asked and she nodded again.

"Which way?" I asked as we stopped in front of the grocery store.

"Let's see...after we went to that store, my uncle Matt led us down...that way." I looked in the direction she was pointing.

"That means we don't have too far to go." I said as we went into the store. I shut the door behind us and I looked around making sure the place was cleared of any flesh eaters.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I mean if they've stayed in one place." I said and I could tell she was missing her father. I know I would feel the exact same way if my parents were living.

"Hey, I know how you feel."

"What do you mean?" she asked innocently as we made our makeshift beds near the door.

"I can tell you're missing your dad."

"How?" she asked confused.

"I used to have the same look on my face when I was around your age."

"You mean when you lost your parents?" she questioned and I nodded.

"I thought you said that you didn't really miss them much."

"What I mean was that I didn't let on to the man who took me in that I missed and thought about the. He didn't want me to get distracted by the moments I could never change. he always told me that being distracted by things that aren't apart of reality anymore is one sure way of getting yourself killed." I explained and she seemed to understand but not completely.

"I hope we find my dad and uncles soon."

"I'm sure we will Mylo." I said as I leaned my gun against the counter. Mylo scooted closer to me and laid her head against my shoulder.

"Thanks Violet. I mean for helping me." she said as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. I ran my hand over the top of her head and smiled.

"You're welcome Mylo. No one should be alone." I whispered as I closed my own eyes to sleep.
