This is my first story so feedback is welcomed, my email is stlkhom@gmail.com Its The End of The World Chapter 1 By: Eric I hate the cold. I really do, especially when the electricity doesn't work; that only makes things harder. Before I keep rambling I should introduce myself, my name is Johnny Cash. No haha I'm kidding, my name is Elli Rouges and I am almost 14 years old. For those interested in a description here ya go, I'm about 5'8", 140 lbs with curly blondish brown hair and gray eyes. At that very moment I was watching the others in my small group, my small band of misfits. Drew and Selene were huddled up with each other, and she was almost smothering him. I glanced towards Ben and Karl who was snoring noisily with their heads on leaning against each other. Finally I rested my gaze on Tom and Tim, the two cousins who said they couldn't stand each other, but here they were huddled like two frightened children, the small blanket barely fitting around Tim let alone Tom. They were still awake and looker miserable, so I gave them my blanket and slipped my .45 caliber pistol into its holster for a walk. For those of you who are wondering why a 13 year old was armed, well that's because the adults are "gone." They were all killed by a biological weapon only known as hcb or Highly Contagious Bioweapon. I was only 12 at the time when it all happened. As you know we were fighting the war in what was formerly Afghanistan when the Taliban decided to destroy the infidels, meaning every human who was not Muslim. And on January 3, just 5 days from my birthday they put their plan into action. At around 1:30 EST 3 Lockheed C-130 cargo planes dropped their payloads all across America and almost every other country in the UN. The virus spread quickly and within 5 weeks every last person over the age of 16 was dead. But we had the "last laugh" because two of their planes exploded on the runway and wiped out everyone over 16 in the Middle East also. My "posse" and I had been well off until winter when the cold set in and finding food became harder. But we made it by the skin on our teeth through December, January, and, February so I believe we are relatively safe for now. Also before how I had slipped the .45 into my holster, we were all armed. Tim's grandfather had been a gun nut so we were also not lacking in that department. But I carried my dad's .45. It was silver with the original wood grips; he was a State Trooper and used it as a backup. It's all I have left besides some pictures, and those pictures filled my head as I walked the perimeter on "patrol." Then I heard a noise, almost like someone moaning. I drew my pistol and flashlight and crept forward. Since we were staying in a small apartment complex there was a lot of corners to go around, and each one pushed my adrenaline rush even higher. I rounded the final corner and saw the source of the noise. It was a boy who was shaking from the cold. I didn't give him a chance to react because as soon as he saw me it was too late. In a flash I was on top of him with my gun at the side of his head. He looked at me and started to cry. I shone the light on his face and was in awe. This kid was beautiful, with soft red lips chapped from the cold, a blemish free face, with teeth whiter than snow and eyes that were the shade of dark blue. Then it hit me, I knew this face, in a calm even voice I said, 'what is your name and why are you here." He wiped his eye with one hand and looked at me and it almost seemed like the fear in his eyes was replaced by something else but I could not tell. I could feel his body relax and he gathered his composure, fixing me with his dark blue eyes he gave me an answer that sent a chill through me. "My name is Brad Koster and I'm looking for you Elli." I slowly got up off him and re holstered the .45. Brad Koster was the name of the kid who had been my day-to-day infatuation for as long as I had been gay. He was awe inspiring before this whole fucking mess (excuse my French) with his neatly trimmed light blond hair, the outline of a boy six pack, and man could he run. Not to mention he was taller than me. I've never been super fit and a flat stomach was something I had to work at maintaining. But, as I gazed down at him I noticed he was thin and weak with dirt and grime caking his flawless face. His hair had bits of leaves and twigs like he had been crawling around. Those beautiful eyes, which one-day I had hoped, paid attention to me were now duller and sunken in. I couldn't find my voice so I just motioned for him to stand up. That's when I saw fear spread across those eyes, for they were not directed towards me, but to the silver .45 gleaming in the moonlight. I must have drawn it absent minded, and as I looked at the gun then back to Brad I saw he was nearly on the verge of tears. Then he broke the silence nearly choking on tears "P...P...Please don't s...shoot me Elli. I'm s...sorry just please don't shoot!" Then the tears started to fall and he slumped to the ground sobbing. Quickly I dropped the gun and ran to him. "Brad stop crying I'm sorry dude. What's wrong?" Once again he looked at me with those beautiful eyes, only this time they were filled with tears. The poor bastard (French again) couldn't even get out a word with sobbing. I grabbed him in a hug and rocked him back and forth until he stopped crying. Somehow I managed to pick him up and get him an open apartment. I walked in to the bedroom and laid him down, covering him with the large blanket that was carefully folded at the foot of the bed. Then I walked into the kitchen and lit a few candles with my Zippo (another treasure) and rumaged the cabinets for food. Finding nothing I pulled up a chair took out my Swiss Army knife and began carving the piece of wood that I had been working on for days. Eventually I could not keep my eyes open any longer and fell asleep knife and carving still clutched in my hand.
