The Battle to Survive With You, Irina K. [best romance books of all time TXT] 📗

Everything is gone… No one is left except for me Zana Night and a few others that survived the bombing in Hemmer. Well that’s what I thought until we arrived in Titanium. The “Monarchy” were the ones that kept everything in top shape. Titanium had 5 zones. Zone one made all the clothing, which made them the richest zone. Zone 2 made all the food, which made their zone be able to have lots of fun festivals, and no one went hungry. Zone 3 worked with construction, so they all had homes to live in and they were never cold. Zone 4 worked with the armed forces which made them be able to protect themselves from any danger, which also means that they get a roof over their heads and 3 meals a day. Zone 5 worked with animals, which made them have at least 2 meals a day, because most of their food went to the animals. Also they all had a home which helped them a lot.

I ended up in Zone 5. When we reached the Monarchy they sent us each into different Zones, some went to zone 3 others went to zone 2 or 1. But most went to zone 4 except for me. I was the only one sent to Zone 5. I guess it’s because they thought that I would be able to take care of myself because really, I was the only girl that survived through that treacherous bombing. My parents and brother died when I was out getting some food from the grocery store, they were the first really. By the time I got back to my home, there was nothing left except for a burning house. Everything happened really fast, I hardly had time to think about what I was doing before my feet lead me to the forest, where I got my bow and arrow and ran for it because I knew there was more explosions to come, and I wouldn’t want to be caught in one of them. On my way through the forest I met other people who were able to escape. We all worked together to keep each other alive. But that didn’t help until a terrible sickness came over most of the people in our group. I and some others were lucky not to catch it. Those with the sickness died because we had no cure from it, and we didn’t know what it was. We continued our journey after that in search of some other people. After about 4 days passed we stumbled upon the Monarchy. They sent us to zones. That’s how I ended up here in zone 5.

When I first stepped into zone 5, it was all very quiet. The first thought that came to my head was where was I going to stay? Live? Get food? But it was all quickly answered when a young couple walks over to me and said “Hello, are you Zana?” “Yes” I replied quietly trying hard not to have my emotions show. “Great! You’ll be living with us from now on until you get married or tern 20.” The lady replied. “Ok” was all I said. “Oh, how rude of us, my name is Cristal, and this is my husband Max.” Cristal says to me. “It’s very nice to meet you.” I say as a smile tugged at the end of my lips. Cristal had blonde hair that reached down to her waste, she had big green eyes that were full of love and care, her olive colored skin matching mine, she was about 5’5 a little bit taller than me. She looked to be about 23. I was 5’4 with dark brown hair that also reached down to my waste, but I usually wore it in a ponytail, I had dark blue eye’s that, as my mom used to say, fit my clear face perfectly. I am 17 years old. Max had black hair that was cut short so he could spike it up. He was about 5’11, with chocolate brown eyes. He looked to be about 25 year’s old. “Well then, we might as well start getting home because it’s starting to get dark, and we still had to feed the horses.” Max said.
Once we got to their home, I stared at it in awe. It was about 3 storages high, and was light blue. It was the biggest house I had ever seen. My old home was only 2 storages high and was green. I didn’t like it that much but it was a great place to live. Once we walked inside I was mesmerized by its beauty. It had about 7 bedrooms, 4 on the second floor and 3 on the 3rd floor. It also had 6 bathrooms, 3 on the 2nd floor and 3 on the 3rd. Their kitchen was HUGE! And so was the dining room and living room. “Zana your room will be up on the 3rd floor the second door to the left.” Cristal told me. I nodded and ran up the stairs. I know you’re not supposed to, but I was just too excited to see my room. When I walked into my room, I once again stared in awe. My bed was a queen sized bed, with a white fluffy blanket. The wall was a violet color. When I opened my closet door, I was surprised that it was full of clothes. I had a merrier on one side of my wall and a comfortable looking chair on the other end. I closed the closet door and laid down on my bed not bothering to change my clothing. Then fell into a deep sleep.

I was awoken by a loud beeping noise and turned my head towards the noise. My hand reached out and hit a button on what I realized was an alarm clock. It read 9:00 AM. I sat up on my bed and went to my closet to change my clothes. Once I got out the clothes that I was ganna wear which was a buttoned up shirt with a tank top underneath and a pair of tight jeans. I went into the bathroom and started the shower, undressed and got in. I was washing my arm off when I noticed that there was a huge cut going down it. “Must have been that beaver that I was hunting down” I think to myself. After I was finished getting all the dirt off my body, I started washing my hair. Once I got out I wiped myself clean with a white towel and put my clothes on. I was half way down the second floor stairs when a mouthwatering scent came to my nose. My stomach rumbled. I started running down the stairs. Once I got to the kitchen I saw a plate with some pancakes and eggs waiting for me. “Oh you’re up!” Cristal says. I nodded and went to my place and sat down. That’s when I noticed that I wasn’t alone. There was a handsome boy sitting a few seats away from me. He had grey eyes and black hair. His hair was also cut short like Max’s to be able to spike it. He was tan, and even though he was sitting I could tell that he was about 5’9. He wasn’t wearing a shirt which showed his 6 pack. “Umm, why are you staring at me?” he asks me. I quickly turn away my face flushing a red shade. I didn’t notice that I was staring at him. “Sorry.” I grumble. “Haha, it’s ok.” He laughs. “I’m Aaron, and you must be Zana that every ones been talking about.” He says then winces my way. “Uhhm ya I’m Zana…” I say awkwardly. He just laughs and turns towards Max who was sitting across from me. “Hey Max, so is Zana going to be helping me out with the horses now? “ He asks him. “Ya, I was hoping you could also show her around town. Sense she’s going to be living here.” “Sure” was all Aaron says before turning back to me and saying “Meet me by the front door in 15 minutes.” Then he stood up and walked outside.

Once I was finished with breakfast, I slowly walked towards the door. A part of me wanted to run out the door to find Aaron, but another part of me wanted to stall as long as I can to try and not embarrass myself in front of him again. Once I opened the door, I realized that Aaron had been waiting for me. He smiled at me then said “What took you so long?” “Well, I was finishing breakfast.” I said in a Duh voice. He just laughed and started moving towards a barn. I followed him. Suddenly he disappeared. So I started running towards the barn door. *UMH* I hit something hard. Ouch. I looked up to see Aaron smiling at me. “Why’d you suddenly stop?” I ask him. “Well, I had to make sure you were coming now didn’t I?” he asks me. “Whatever.” I say. I stand up and look around. There was a bunch of hay in one corner, and the rest of the barn was filled with stalls for the horses I’m guessing. “While you were eating breakfast I took the time to let all the horses out to their field. So now all we have to do is get that hay and put it in their feeders. Then we could go to town so I could show you around.” He says to me. “Sure, that would be great.” I say smiling for the first time sense I got to zone 5. Aaron showed me how much hay to put in their feeders, then how much water to put in their buckets. After we were done, we started heading towards town.

“Hey, we’re going to stop by some of my friend’s house on the way to town k?” He asks me. “Yea sure.” I say in a bored tone. “Why do u live with Max and Cristal?” I ask Aaron. “Well, Max is my big brother. He started taking care of me after my parents died.” He replies. “Why are you here anyways?” He asks me. “Umm, well, I used to live in a town called Hemmer. One day I was coming home from the grocery store and there was an explosion. I ran towards the noise as fast as I could. I tried to save them. But they were gone… So I ran to the woods. Got my bow and arrow and ran for it. I met others in the woods and we traveled together. Later on a sickness came around. Only the strongest survived. I was the only girl left unfortunately. Sometime later we stumbled upon the Monarchy. They sent us to different Zones. That’s how I ended up here.”
