The next morning at the Park's place.
From Create Your Own Story
You're awakened some time later by the sounds of footsteps in the hall. They're loud, and it sounds like a group of people. You find yourself in a hazy panic, still half asleep. You can only imagine what's come into the house, and what it will do when it finds the lot of you.
"Anyone alive in here?" You hear a voice shout. "United States army," the voice calls out again. "If anyone is alive in here, announce your presence now!"
You jump to your feet. "We're in here! Two of us! We're alive!" Melanie sits up on the bed, confused, rubbing at her eyes. You unlock the door and swing it open, and are greeted by several armed men with flashlights attached to their weaponry, and the light is nearly blinding. "There are others, too," you say, holding up your hand to shield our eyes.
Within an hour, you're whisked away to a military camp, where you're all quarantined while medical officials search your entire bodies for signs of sores. When they're sure you're not infected, they release you into the camp with a fresh change of clothes, and pointing the way to a large tent where food and water await. You look around for the other's but don't see them, so you make your way over to get a bite to eat.
Halfway through your meal, you feel a strong hand on your shoulder and look up to see a military officer with another armed man at his side. "Sir," he says quietly, "you need to come with us." Confused, you stand slowly, wiping your mouth with a napkin.
"What for?" You ask, as you look past the military men to see what could possibly have sent them after you. There, not fifty feet behind them, is Mrs. Park. She holds her crying daughter in both her arms, and stares angrily at you. "Shit." You say quietly. "I don't know what they told you, but she asked me. It wasn't like I just went in there-"
You go on and on explaining yourself as the two drag you away. You survived the end of the world, but you're not sure how well you'll survive this. Guess some rules still apply.
Congratulations?
