Carrie groans. ”I understand..”

Everyone stood in silence.

”I'm sorry..” Jackie says as she opens the front door.

Her, Miley and their kids walk out.

”GREAT! JUST GREAT!” Mike shouts.

”Mike..” Carrie looks at him.

”NO! It's bullshit that she can just leave like that! She isn't the one that lost someone!” Mike looks at Ellis, Derek, Ella and Bailey. ”They should be the ones that should hate the world! But they don't!”

”I do..” Ellis says.

Mike sighs. ”I'm out..” He goes to the door.

”Mike!” Carrie runs to him. ”Don't go..” Tears forming in her eyes.

Mike looks away from her. Tears running down his face. ”I can't be around any of you anymore..” He opens the door and walks out.

Carrie stands there. ”Mike..not you too..”

Finn rushes to her.

She cries in his chest.

”It's okay..” He holds her tight.

Carley holds the baby. She looks at everyone.

Ella looks at Ellis.

Ellis stares at the ground. ”I'm with Mike!” He grabs his bag before going to the door.

”Ellis!” Derek goes to his brother.

Ellis swallows hard. He bends down. ”You'll be fine.” He rubs his brother cheek.

Ella looks at him. ”Ellis, you already lost most of your family. Don't leave the last one you have left.”

He stands. ”I love you..” He opens the door.

The door shuts.

Derek cries.

”Hey..” Carrie wipes her eyes and goes to him. ”It's okay..” She holds him.

He cries.

”This is Carries fault!” Ella shouts.

They all look at Ella.

”He wouldn't act like this if you didn't shut him out!” She clutches her fists.

Suddenly, growls are heard outside.

Finn looks out the curtains. ”Guys we need to be quiet.”

”NO!” Ella shouts again. ”I WILL NOT SHUT-”

Carrie walks to her. Slapping her hard.

Ella falls back. She holds her cheek. Shocked she looks up at her.

”Be quiet!” She whispers.

The growls fade.

”Its safe again.” Finn says as he walks away from the window.

Ella stands with the help of Bailey.

”Ella just shut it. You don't know the whole story” Bailey tells her.

Ella looks at the ground. ”I'm sorry..”

Carrie nods. ”It's okay.” She looks at everyone.

The only one's left were her, Finn, Ella, Bailey, Derek, Conner, Carley, Kizzy and the baby.

”We need to stay together...” Carrie looks at them. ”We may not like it but we are family now!”

Kizzy walks to her. ”I may still not know any of you still but I do feel the need to protect you guys.” She smiles at Carrie.

”Agreed.” Finn nods at her.

”We're family.”

*At the main military base*

John is thrown to the ground. His face hits the mud.

”Do we have a deal?” Edgar asks Elxa.

She smiles at John. ”We have agreement.”

”Good” He smiles.

John sits on his knees. ”You're a moran if you honestly think she will agree.”

Edgar kicks him. ”Shut it!”

Elxa smiles. ”That's enough.” She turns. ”Give him what he wants.” She walks away.

Edgar laughs. ”Ha! She'll keep her word!”

”MEN!” Vanessa shouts. ”NOW!”

Suddenly, she shots Edgar in his head. Some of the soldiers start to kill some of their other soldiers.

Elxa looks back. ”What?”

Vanessa picks up John. ”COME ON!” She pulls him up and toward the tank.

Gun shots are everywhere.

”What the hell?” John yells.

She throws him in the tank before shutting the door behind her. She gets in the driver seat. ”At first I didn't know you until Edgar told me who you were.” She looks back at him smiling. ”That's when I realized I knew you.” She puts the tank in reverse.

John stares at her confused.

She runs over some men. ”Welp part of the cause!” She laughs as she drives away.

Elxa rushes back inside. ”Shit!” She shouts.

”What happened?!” John rushes to her.

She growls. ”I'm going to kill that little bitch!” She looks at Rosie. ”You!” She walks to her. ”I want you to kill this bitch!” She points to the TVs that have pictures of Vanessa.

Rosie nods. ”Yes mam!” She runs off outside.

Elxa smiles.
