Devin's POV 

"Raise your hand and Turn around" The woman ordered, We didn't have many options therefore we followed. She went towards us and shine a flashlight on our eyes, It felt like she was checking for something.

She backed off and puts down her gun "Come inside" She unpleasantly offered. 

The woman Looked like she was in her mid 30's, although she looked tiered with her bags under her eye. I guess she hasn't gotten much sleep. We followed her inside and offered to sit down on her couch. One thing I noticed was her windows and doors, They were already boarded up. 

But The news was just announced earlier, how could she be already prepared for this. It's like she knew that something bad was gonna happened, cause theirs absolutely no way she boarder up all her windows just this morning. I looked around much more and saw some kid's drawings placed on her colorful fridge. She might have kids, I guess...

"Ah... I just want to say... Thank you for letting us into your home. My name is Devin and he's Austin..."

She didn't respond to what I said. She remained silent and unbothered by what she was doing. She was Knitting a torn apart stuffed animal, It was a bear with a loose arm. 

" Is that for you child? or children?" I asked, lighting up the mood. but she remained silent and continued on knitting.

"I just want to say it's a lovely animal" 

 I sat quietly with Austin and just ignore the thick awkward atmosphere surrounding us and her. She hasn't spoken to us, but we didnt wanted to be rude or seem like a bother to her. 

After a solid 5 minutes of awkwardly sitting, Austin has completely passed out on the couch. I looked for my phone and realized that It wasn't in my pocket anymore. It might have fallen right after we were running for our lives. I must not notice it. 

Gab!

I stood up and walked towards the woman. " Ma'am, I'm sorry to disturb you but may I ask if you have a phone? I really need to call my little sister. she's out there" 

She didn't react and just slide out her phone,

After moments of ringing, hoping for her to pick it up. she finally answered.

"Gab! Gab!"  I immediately spoke

"Gab! Gab!"  I immediately spoke. 

"Kuya Dev? KUYA! Omg, I've been spamming you call earlier " The ocean of worried and uncomfy washed off when I heard her voice. 

"Gab, Where are you? Please tell me your okay" I was still panicking and not knowing what to do, she's out there somewhere without me, where all trouble is now possible to happen.

"I'm okay Kuya... I'm fine. I'm on top of a rooftop right now, The school has been ambushed by these creatures," she responded.

" Tell me if you're safe! Where are you?"

"Kuya I'm fine, those things won't get up here because I barricaded the entrances of the rooftop."

"Sigh of Relief*  Gab, I need you to tell me where you are, I'm gonna go there"

"What!? Are you insane? There are so many of those creatures out there, just casually wandering around the city."  

"Gabriel, I'm not leaving there alone, not without me" 

"I can handle myself Kuya, I promise, I'm safe out here." 

The phone began losing its signal, "Kuya... I just want to say... I'll...e... fine"
