Dawn of New Era (Part 2)

I opened the door with shaky hands.. I trembled as the door creaked open slowly. I was both shocked and glad at the same time."Hello?" I said. "is that you Andrew?" Said the person. 'How do you know my name? Who are you?" I replied "It's me... Jonathan" he stated. "Is that really you Jonathan?" I said. "if that is you then what is my favorite color?". "Blue" he replied. "What is my pet dogs name?" I said, Jonathan replies "Taz". "It really is you" I said. I invited him in and spoke about the whole situation. He says we are the last left on earth and that the rich are far away but he says not far enough. Once every 5 months a drone of sorts mounted with weapons and artillery searches for any remaining life or if the world has come to it's doom. So all the remaining have to go into hiding for about 10 weeks at a time. I was still not quite sure on how this thought of leaving planet earth must of occurred. "So do you want to leave now?" Jonathan asked. "Sure? Where are we heading?" I responded. "There are no places here to hide from the drones" he said "That's why we built a base outside of town in the thick bushes and trees". "OK let's go then" I said. We started to make our way outside the house to see this vehicle he had come here in. It sort of looked like a half dune buggy half tank. So we both hope in and make start our journey to his hidden base. "Wait how did you know i was at my old house?" I said, "We wouldn't leave u knowing that u would wake up with no-one around, so we put sensors on the door of the room in case something entered or something left" he replied. "oh ok" I responded. We were slowly coming to a stop as we reached the edge of the city. Since no one maintained the growth it sort of went from modern to thick trees and bush. Jonathan says to me "Here we are" .We jumped out of the vehicle and stared straight at the base of this huge tree. Jonathan chuckled and said "hop in to the transport pipe" I started to laugh with him "What pipe?" I asked. "Over here" Jonathan said. We walked straight up to the tree and pressed this broken off branch on it. It appeared that the bottom of the tree had a hidden door. To me it was like i was in a low budget Sci-Fi film. "Come on" He said. I put one foot in and felt it cradle.I stood back and told him "Nope not going in that thing". "Don't be so scared I have done this hundreds of times" He said. I replied "I am trusting you this once because you are my best friend and sadly my only friend right now" I put one foot in and felt it cradle for a second time. I look back at Jonathan with an uncertain smile on my face. I manage to get in but i am shaking. "Jonathan you know i am scared of heights" I said. "Don't worry, It is that far down" He replied. So now we are both in and he looks up and presses a lever to the side. The door slams shut. Then he pulls another lever down and the elevator goes down so fast it's as if my stomach is in my throat. Then after about one minute it slows down to a complete stop. The door opens automatically this time. I was amazed at what they accomplished. "Follow me" he said. I followed him straight down from the elevator. "I am never going in that again" I said. He turns his head slightly and smirks at me. I looked to the left and saw huge carrot fields and to the right was potatoes. We continued walking and passed about 15 different types of farms. "We are here" he said. "Where is here?" i replied. "Your parents are inside and they have a lot to catch you up on" He said. I stepped onto the first step thinking about what they look like and what they are gonna do. I took another step and i got wiry, i thought "how am i going to do any good" Then i took 1 last step before the door. Deep Sigh. I open the sliding door and saw the back of a head. "Father? Is that you? Where is mom" I said. "I know you have a lot of questions for me, sit down and relax" The man said. I slowly sat down on a cushion on the floor and said "Who are you?" The man said "It's me son your mother is farming the rice, It's great to see you again". i replied "Why aren't you showing your face?" "Because son my face is burnt when i saved your mother". He turned around and said "It's been a long time and i am grateful that you are here now" "If what i have heard is true then why am i still alive? They killed billions and now we are only left" I said. "son. We aren't the only ones left, Why would we make massive farms just for four people? This is just the farm level, i sit in this house because it is peaceful" He replied. "So what do i do now?" I responded. "Follow me i will show you the rest of our civilization, but first lets go get your mother". he said. So dad and i went passed the rice field to get mother but she wasn't there. Father said "she must have gone down to social level". Once again we approached the really bad elevator. "Are there any stairs?" I said. dad replied "ha ha ha there are no stairs". "what if there is a fire?" I said. "Then we put it out with fire extinguishers" He said.  We entered the elevator and pulled another lever, but this time we didn't go down as far. It was strange because even though the door was shut bright light shun through the small gap. I Did not know what i was about to see, It was like time slowed down for a moment as the door opened. Once it fully opened i saw....

Dawn Of a New Era (Part 1)

What do you do when you're all alone with only your thoughts in the deepest darkest part of the world. Only then will the worst of you show. Because once you reach that point you don't play by the rules. That is where i am now, 25 and have no idea what happened

Well...  to understand where i am heading you need to know where i have been. Let’s began at the day when everything went downhill.

I was only 12 when it happened.... I was gazing at the stars on the roof of my parents house with my best friend Jonathan "Wow look at that, a shooting star". I said, Jonathan Replied "Make a wish"

"I wish that i could be a hero" I proclaimed. Jonathan made his wish " I wish that we could be friends forever" I turned onto my side and said "Why would you wish that? We already are gonna be friends forever" He replies, "I had to be sure". I turned back onto my back and continued watch for a while, " Hey it's getting a bit late i think i might go home" Jonathan Explained, "alright see you tomorrow" I said. He slowly crawled back down the roof as i sat back up. He climbed into my bedroom window and went downstairs to the front door. I laid back down and muttered to myself "Friends Forever" I looked up and saw this blue light shine across the sky as if it was looking for something. It was moving quite slow, then all of a sudden it vanished. "What was that?" I said. I hear the door shut and decide to tell my friend goodbye again. I lent over the gutter very slightly just so he could hear my voice "Bye Jonathan". "Bye Andrew!" He replied. I heard some cracking sound, And then it sounded like something dropped, sort of like a bolt. I looked around and all of a sudden the gutter released under my hands "Ahhh" I yelled as i fell 3 stories to the ground, "ANDREW!!!!" Jonathan screamed as he saw me fall. CRACK. I was laying face down in the dirt unable to move my body, I turned my head to Jonathan I couldn't hear anything at the time. I saw his face and i could see his mouth moving. My eyes slowly shut as i passed out from shock. Beep Beep Beep. I opened my eyes to see that i was at a hospital, I felt fine and i could wiggle my toes. I was wondering where everyone was but this constant beeping in my ear wasn't helping. I got up and turned off the monitor. I went and took a look at the chart at the front of my hospital bed.

Andrew Diggle - Coma ; estimated 13 years. I was shocked and dropped the chart. I couldn't believe what it said. So i ran out into the hallway looking for anyone. I sprinted straight, all the way passed the operations room then saw the toilet arrow pointing to the left. I quickly entered the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I couldn't believe my eyes, I stared straight at myself and rubbed my face. I have a beard and a mustache. The chart was telling the truth about being in a coma for 13 years. I walked out the bathroom in shock and heard voices echoing "Hello? Anyone here?" I ran out looked left and right, i couldn't decipher where it was coming from. I ran to the left yelling "I am here my name is Andrew". But there was no response, I knew i was alone. I Found nothing, so i returned to my room where my clothes were. I picked the clothes up and said "No way i am gonna fit in this". It was my old clothes from when i was 12 years of age. "Time to find new clothes" I muttered. I slowly made my way down the hospital in search of clothes to change out of these hospital robes. Then i found 1 room with clothes in it. I think it belonged to some old guy because it had a belt and everything. I slipped on the dusty shirt and pants and threw the jacket on. Cough Cough "It's so dusty here" i said. I made my way down to the first floor and looked out the glass doors, Still... No one in sight. I walked towards the sliding doors and they opened. I chuckled "i am surprised there is still power". I walked out and a massive gust of wind blew straight into my face. I made my way down to my house If it was still there of course. I arrived after a long walk in search of people in the blistering sunlight. I opened the gate and walked to the front porch, I looked into the window and didn't see anyone inside. I decide to try open the door "it's open that's unusual" I said to myself. I walked into the hallway, "Our house still looks the same, The stairs to the left and the lounge to the right and passed the stairs was the kitchen"I said "i am feeling a little hungry". I walked straight to the kitchen in search of food. I went straight to the cupboard in search for canned food. "look what we have here baked beans" I said.. I go to grab the can opener which was behind me to the other end of the kitchen. I turned around and saw a note on the table "hmm what is this?". I picked it up to read what it said.

To my Dearest Andrew

I know how you must be scared

But it will be OK. If you are reading this

It has been 13 years. The last time i saw you was when

it was your 17th birthday

Your Father said it's time to give up hope but i didn't want to

i didn't have a choice really

If you are hungry we left lots of canned food and drink in the

basement. I am leaving this note for you to let you know that the

has changed. Billions of people were killed. Only the rich get to live

But we had to hide. We can't tell you where because if this note was

found before you did, our lives would be in danger

The people in comas and under life support were

spared. After 4 years a station was built in outer space

And all the remaining were taken up there.

You and only a handful are left on earth.

It was broadcast around the world about how earth wasn't going

to last any longer

and there was no coming back from it. So that's when the

evacuation happened we still remain but in hiding we left you clues

to find us and once you do you can rejoin the remaining society left

Good Luck son I will miss you

Lots of Love Your Mother Debra Diggle

I was so badly shocked that i was about to pass out again but in all the silence i heard a knockin

Knock Knock Knock. It was at the front door. I approached the door, i could see a figure outside the window and decided to open it. I slowly crept up to the door holding the letter in one hand. I was shaking. My hand touched the door handle and as i opened the door I saw....
