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....
