We have spent a week cleaning out the Sports authority, and all nearby stores. We have talked to this Daniel guy every day since we first heard him. He told us his location and he keeps getting closer, he told us he had a big group. My brother has become darker just like me. Two days ago a man came to us asking for help and my brother told him to leave or die. Sometimes I think about wether or not he is doing this to protect me or to just have me and him survive side by side.

"So let me get this straight you allowed the Biters to fill up the store next to us" Logan said. "Yes I'm sorry but they were coming at me and I just paniced, I ran away and closed the door" I replied. " You do know we will have to" Logan said before he was interupted by the back door breaking. "Shit, Ken grab the bags were getting out of here" Logan said. I ran as fast as I could to the area we put the bags in but it was to late, There were more Biters there than I could count. I ran back to my brother to see him fighting off Biters with his revolver and knife, That's all we kept on ourselves. As he went for the radio a biter bit him on the arm. I lifted up my revolver and shot the biter that nabbed him. As I started running running my knife fell off of me, I knew I should have tightened up my belt. I was going to go bck to get it but there were to many biters to get it. My brother's knife broke on a biter's head. We got out of their and ran as fast as we could. I didn't listen to my muscle's cry and ache for a stop. My brother was slowing dwn so I helped him run. We finally came up to a truck with the keys in it. We hopped in it as fast as we could. As I closed my door I crushed a Biter's head. I started to back up, My brother was holding his arm and trying hard not to cry in pain so I wouldn't grief. To tell the truth that was all I could think of doing. Every since I was born my brother always did everything he could to protect me, but now he wouldn't be able to. I started to cry but held the wheel faster and stepped on the gas. "Ken I know I have protected you ever since you were born and I was meant to protect you but now I won't be able to, I know this is going to make you sad but you have to stay strong, We don't have anything to amputate my arm so it is positive that I will die, Look Ken I know this will make you cry but when I die I want you to stop me from turning okay, I love you little brother and i will always be with you and be your guardian angel, But right now we need to get you to this Daniel and his group so Ken Please promise me that even If I don't get their with you, you will find him okay" Logan said. I nodded yes to him allowing the tears to flow from my eyes,I then said "he last said that he was near the road that goes after the gas station, that's about 20 miles from here you realy think we can make it their". "I hope you can make it their in time to meet Daniel" Logan said. "No more fuel I guess we will have to walk" I said

"Okay Ken I think this is it for me I can barely move and I can't feel my arm" Logan said. "No Logan This can't be it, it can't come on we just have one more mile until the gas station come on please" I said. "Ken I know this is hard for you but either you will have to put me out of my misery or I will have to either way both of us don't want me to be a Biter so Ken Just do it" Logan said. "I love you Logan and I will miss you, I know we have said some nasty things to each other so I'm sorry for any pain I have caused you, Promise me you will always be with me" I said. "Don't worry Ken as long as you are alive I will always be with you and I will always protect you, I love you to ken and I always will, and I will miss you, stay alive okay, you can overcome this apocalypse because you are strong, Now Ken it's time" Logan said. I stood up and watched him die peacefully, I then lifted up my gun and put a bullet in his brain. I started to cry and kept on walking toward the gas station knowing that's what logan would have wanted me to do. "I guess this gas station isn't so bad, I guess I can stay here until daniel and his group come by" I said. As I said that a herd of biters started to come toward me, I guess they must have been alerted by the shot. They started to enter the station so I did the only thing I could do, I hide inside the bathroom in the gas station. I got lucky that their weren't any biters there. I sat down in the corner and pulled out my gun. The biters would knock down this door any second now so I put the gun pointing at my head. I started to slowly pull the trigger but I stopped when I heard a motorcycle outside. I then heard a bunch of shots fired and suddenly the Biters stopped banging on the door. The door then opened and a the man said "who are you, I'm Daniel Lopez and this is my friend Micheal Gonzales". I smiled and said "I thought you would recognize me, I'm the kid you were talking to over the radio I'm Ken Myers". "Were's Logan" Daniel said. "You never told me about this guy" Micheal said. "We'll talk about it later now were's Logan" Daniel said. "He's dead he got bit escaping a store, he helped me get here, I was about to blow my brains out, then you guys came and got all the Biters's" I said. "I am sorry for your loss, now do you want to come with us and join us or do you want to go a seperate way" Daniel said. "I think I would rather go with you" I said. Daniel and Micheal took to the rest of their group were they welcomed me with open arms. They treated me like family, so technically I had a new family. I survived through thick and thin with them. It looks the fire never Died for me.

 The End
