" Oh why in the hell?! JOEY DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU! YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE DIDN'T YOU?! "
Helen cried out loud.
We grabbed her and went to the house.
She's resisting but she couldn't escape.
" Do you want to die too?! "
I asked her.
" What's the matter?! Joey's not with me anymore... "
She said.
Alix gave her a bottled water.
" Thank you Alix... "
She grabbed it and drinked it.
I went to Joel and helped him.
" Good thinking. So they can't get in. "
I told him.
We both pushed a cabinet behind the door.
" Now we can rest easily... "
Bill said.
They all went upstairs.
" What're you waiting for? Go upstairs and sleep. "
Felix said.
" I'll rest here, you guys take a good sleep. "
I told him.
Then he went upstairs too.
I checked the guns and supplies.
* This'll do. I should train Joel and Helen on how to use a gun. *
After that, I went to sit in the chair and closed my eyes.
| Someone's knocking at the door |
* Who's that....Did I overslept..? *
Then I woke up and opened my eyes.
* I can't see the sun...so is it still night? *
Someone's banging the door.
" Who are you? Stop knocking on the door! "
I shouted.
" Help! I need your help! "
The person outside said.
I pushed the cabinet and saw a man.
" Are you bitten? "
I asked him.
" No! Of course I'm not! But if you won't open this door, I might be. "
He answered.
Then I unlocked it and slid the door open.
" My name's Shino. I've lost my group yesterday night. "
He explained.
" Oh. Sorry for the news. "
Then I offered him some food.
" Thank you! I'm sorry to bother you early in the morning. It's still dawn but I'm banging on your door. "
He said.
" No worries, I'm glad to help you. "
I told him.
" Oh, I'm not alone here. There's people upstairs. They're probably resting. We've experienced a lot of troubles within these past few weeks. "
I added.
Then Joel went downstairs.
" Oh you're already awake. This is Shino. "
I introduced him to Joel.
After a few minutes, they all went down to eat.
" Alright, we'll be moving again because this place isn't safe. Joel, I'll be giving you a gun. You too Helen. "
I announced.
" Can I...do something helpful? "
Shino asked us.
" Oh yes, you can be a help to us soon. "
Felix answered.
Then we all went outside and hopped in the car.
" There's a good place to stay but I heard that we'll drive for hours! But I think that we can manage to get there in...I think evening? "
Felix said.
I'm driving the other car and he's driving the other one.
My passengers were Alix and Shino.
Felix got Helen, Bill and Joel.
" You guys, keep this weapon. This willl be helpful to all of you. "
I handed them a knife.
" Can we kill someone with this? "
Alix asked then Shino explained what to do.
A few talks later and I knew what happened to Shino's group.
" Ahh...some bandits tried to robbed your group but you guys refused? And a few days later, they went back to attack you all? "
Alix asked him.
" Correct. I think that I'm the only one that survived. Because my brother hid me in a secret place that no one knew but only him. I heard gunshots after he left me there and I waited until there's no shootings anymore...and there they were...laying on the ground and everyone of them doesn't have a heartbeat anymore. "
He said.
* I feel sorry for him....I'm glad that he stumbled upon us. *
" But....I'm hoping that my father and my brother's still alive because.. "
He said.
" Because what? "
Alix asked him.
" Their bodies aren't there when I checked those dead people. "
He added.
* So there's hope that they're still alive huh? *
" Alright, you guys take a rest. We'll be doing works when we get there. "
I told them.
" Alright. "
Both of them replied.
