Claire groaned. She had been stuck traveling through the woods for days since her mom and best friend were both turned into what she could only describe as Violet Beauregarde-like blueberry. She and Blaire had barely made it out, as both infected girls were spraying juice all over. She glanced back. There Blaire was, fiddling with her iPhone as she listened to music in one ear, which was typical for her. While Claire had grown up constantly working, Blaire was the techno geek of the family, always playing with the family computer or on her Xbox.
