The EOD End of Days

Zoe's POV

"My name is Jake Drew, after the pandemic broke out in Mars and killed almost everyone, a few people survived and are now on planet Earth. We need to know if some people still survived the pandemic, call this line if you get this." Jake said as he dropped the phone.

"It's useless." I muttered and pulled a chair close to him. Sitting down, I squeezed his hands gently.

"It's not useless, we left some people to die in Mars." He said, his voice wasn't calm.

"We didn't leave them to die, they didn't want to abandon Mars and besides, we don't know if Earth is safe." I replied and he looked at me. I didn't even know what was going through his mind.

We were never friends, I just wanted to have a talk with someone since most of the guys went into the forest to look for items.

"You're not our commander." He reminded as he scrunched up on his face which made me shudder.

"We don't have a commander yet." I said with a ragged sigh as I stood up.

"We should go back to Mars." He suggested.

"It sounds like a good idea." I replied and walked out of the tent.

He followed me outside, I felt myself growing impatient. "I've spoken to the other guys, they've agreed that we'll vote for a commander today." He said with a side smirk.

I tried maintaining a calm voice. Looking at him, I felt the urge to just fight him but I couldn't. Alexa came behind us holding a basket of fruits. "I brought this for us to eat, where are they?" She asked.

"They'll be back soon, they went to monitor the forest and look for something to eat." I answered.

She looked at me, then looked at Jake. "Are you guys having issues again?"

"Ask your silly friend." Jake answered and entered into the tent.

I looked at her, I felt anger growing up in my body, tears tickled in my eyes. "You should take some fruits." She suggested.

"Have you lost your mind?" I asked, rudely and she looked at me confused.

"I'm not the reason for your frustration."

"I'm sorry, it's just that we didn't eat in Mars and we stayed alive but when you guys tasted fruits, you became addicted to it." I said.

"You're just being so insecure, I know for a fact that we survive without food or water but we've found food here, shouldn't we eat it?" She asked, a faint glimmer of humor in her eyes.

I looked at her and sat down on a log of wood besides a tall tree, she also did the same thing. "Jake has been getting on my nerves right from Mars, I don't know what I've done to him." I said and she frowned.

"He's been like that." She simply replied and a small puppy ran towards us.

"There's a puppy on Earth?" She asked, surprised. I was also surprised, I didn't even know things could be on Earth, I thought everywhere would be deserted.

The puppy yipped while it turned in circles, she picked him up and gave him an Eskimo kiss making his little tongue dart out to lick her chin.

"Put him down." I ordered.

She held onto the puppy tightly, "I love puppies." She protested.

"It might be a spy." I replied as she dropped the puppy down, it ran away immediately.
