Chương 3: The good deed

Chapter three

At least she has saved the kids.

Her eyes were closed but she could feel the hold on her get lost.

The pains coursing through her were preventing her from concentrating, from seeing that someone was there shooting the demons. Within minutes, they all lay down dead.

'Are you alright? 'The man stood beside her but she still couldn't place her voice. She closes back her eyes and opens them again. She could see Max,' Can you walk?'

'My time is almost up. I have just four minutes to live as a human. You have to leave me and go'

Max sucked in the breath,' No, I can't do that!'

Jessica raises a brow, surprised. Or maybe her ears were playing tricks on her,' How are the kids?'

Max smiled,' Saved. You saved them!' The smile made him look more handsome and cuter.

Jessica smile too, feeling fulfilled,' You have to leave now before I turn'

The smile transform to a black frown,' i don't want to leave you.....' the words came out so slow as if he couldn't quite believe what he was saying

'You don't have a fucking choice!'Jessica scream, suddenly alerting his nerves, 'i'm going to kill you if you don't go'

Max sighs once and gets up. He turns to leave but looks back at her again, 'Thank you so much

Jessica raises another confused brow,' What for?'

'For rescuing the kids. You saved my daughter too'

A beautiful smile forms at the tip of Jessica's mouth,' Maryann is your daughter? No wonder she looks as cute as you'

'Her cuteness is from her mother,' Max smile

'But she wouldn't have been that beautiful if she doesn't look like you'

Max smiles again,' I will never forget you, Jessica,' then he walks away.

Max still couldn't believe he saw his lost daughter. He thought she had been bitten by the demons but Jessica saved her life.

He would never forget her no matter what.

He walks out toward the bus.

Well, after getting the people safely to the bus, he decided to follow Jessica with two other guys. The gunshot they heard led them to where the kids were but the demons were running after them. Thank God, they were right on time cos one of them fell and so the demons were able to get so close to them.

He opens the bus door and climbs in before closing and locking the door.

'Dad!' Mary scream and rushes until she ended up in his embrace

'Where's Jessica?' one of the guys he went out with asked. When they saw the kids, he told them to safeguard the kids to the bus while he goes looking for Jessica

Max took a deep sigh,' She couldn't make it. She was such a brave woman. I have never seen someone of such'

'She did what we couldn't, we will never forget her,' another man chorus

The old woman whose son she saved burst out crying real hard while her son consoled her,' She died saving my son. I will never forget her

No one will, not even Max

Now, the next thing is how to get to SHALERA

And that's a long journey ahead. They need God to make it.

The drive was silent. Everyone had something on their minds. Who wouldn't?

Everyone in the bus isn't related but they are in the bus together for one thing-"safety"

'We need fuel and food if we wish to survive this journey, 'max voice out suddenly and everything looks toward him

'Are you saying we will need to leave this bus to search for food and fuel, 'a lady asked with fear

Max shrugs slightly, 'we will be dead anyway if we don't do anything.'

'He's right. My son is starving already, 'the old woman supported and look at John

'How do we do it then? 'the one driving says

'There's a nearby filling station. We will get fuel and food there. If you all follow my plans, everyone will survive', Max assured and when no one talked, he continued, 'I need two men and two ladies to follow me to the shop mart to get the food. Two men will be in charge of filling the bus with fuel. There are some kegs on the bus. It will be to our advantage if we have lots of petrol on the bus in case of emergency, 'he finishes and looks up

'I've seen the filling station, 'the driver voices out, and everyone looks ahead at the deserted filling station. Fear gripped everyone at the sight. It has never happened before that the filling station will be this deserted

'I will join Max to pack the food. We will die anyway if we don't, 'a lady voice out, and soon, everyone starts giving themselves roles. Max smiled and brought out some guns, then handed them over to each one of them.

'Two people should be on watch outside the bus. Whenever you sight these demons, help others enter, we at the supermarket will find a way to come to you'

'i will keep watch..., 'John says and everyone laughs even despite the situation ahead

Max move closer to him and bend slightly, 'Now young boy, you have a role already'

John amusingly raises a brow. So cute to be a boy, 'What's that? '

'Mary told me you saved her life. How about you save it again? Then you have your grandma to protect'

John smile wildly now, 'i will protect them till I die'

Max smiles and looks up at the old woman smiling down at her grandson. You can vividly behold the pride in her eyes. He looks over at Mary and nods once to her.

'Let go,' he informed just as the driver packed the car just close enough to fill it with fuel. He opens the door, there were no demons on sight. He got down and made haste toward the supermart Behind him, the others also got down to fill the bus with fuel.

'i will go in first, 'Max informed and pushed open the door. It seems so quiet that he bet there are no demons here,' start packing,' he says and the two ladies with them got to work.

Max also brought a bag pack. He walks around and starts to put in things he knows Mary and John would like.

Someone screams suddenly. Everyone rushed to the place of the incident and caught one of their men struggling with a demon. Max shot his head with the pistol he was holding

'Are you alright?'a woman asked and help the man up

'Were you bitten?' another woman asked but he nodded negatively, still breathing heavily

'Better, let's hurry up,' Max says and turns to leave but something catches his eyes outside the supermart. He moves closer to the door and looks out at the bus. Everyone was inside the bus already as the demons tried to force themselves against the bus as if to break in.

'Max, you need to see this,' another man called in a frightened voice, jerking Max out of his thought(not the man that was attacked) Max hurries over to the other side of the supermart and behold hundreds of demons were running over to their side as if they were on a race to win a trophy

What the.....
