[Cancelled] In The Apocalypse, We Live

chapter 4

3rd POV

Enca/Ron, Ben/Fran, Hap/Roy and Pam/Alj are currently back at clinic. They were attending their injuries.

As they attended their wounds they noticed that at the span of two days it was already healing.

The puncture wound Ron got from one of the spiders is already sealed itself and left a small mark that is also slowly disappearing.

"This is weird" Hap commented as he touched and inspected Ron's wound. Fascinated by Ron's quick healing factor. "It's only been a week since we've fought the spiders and destroyed their nest. How are you healing so fast?" He asks as he poked Ron's wound.

"I don't know" Ron replied. "Also, that tickles so please stop poking me" he grumbled.

"Sorry" Hap apologized, withdrawing his hand. "What about you guys?" He questions the other two, who were also inspecting each other's wounds.

"we're only bruised. Nothing much" Ben informed as he wrapped a bandage around Pam's torso.

"These wounds are nothing compared to Ron. Dude got stabbed and blown up" Pama remarked. Hissing as he felt a jolt of pain on his wound.

"Sorry" Ben apologized as he finished attending Pama's wound.

"It's fine. So... What now?" Pama asked as he starts wrapping Ben's bruised arm.

Ben began pondering on what to do next before remembering Pama's idea of going to the mall.

"We go to the mall. We'll see if the place is safe or not. If it's safe, we stay in one of the hotel rooms at the upper floors" Ben announced.

"And if it's not safe?" Hap interjected. 

"We return here and use the school as a temporary safe house" Ben responded as he inspected his arm that was wrapped in bandages. He nods at Pama in appreciation. In return, Aljee nodded back. 

"Okay... We go to the mall... but which one?" Ron inquired. 

"We'll go to the nearest on" Ben stated. "Robinson's Place Jaro Mall. It's close to the school. We'll arrive there in a few minutes on foot"

"Okay. But when do we leave?" Hap asked.

"Are your wounds okay?" Ben asked.

"Just a scratch" Hap said as he pointed at the scratch on his body.

"I'm fine" Ron said. "My wounds  are already healed. The scars are slowly disappearing too" he added, lifting his shirt and showing his slowly closing and disappearing wound.

Ben turned to look at Pama, who just shrugged. Ben gave a deep sigh "it would seems that we're all fine. We'll leave tomorrow morning" Ben decided.

"Okay..." Ron said. Then the group became silent and stared at each other without making any sounds or any movement. "So... Wanna play Jenga?" Ron said, breaking the long—and awkward silence. Bringing out a jenga box he found under the hospital bed beside him.

Clang!

An aluminum can stumbles down on the side of the road and rolls over and stops at the middle of the road.

"Stop that!" Pama Scolded Hap who kicked the aluminum can. Smacking him on the head.

"Ow! That hurt" Hap whined, massaging the spot where Pama struck him.

"Then don't make any loud noises that would attract unwanted attention, idiot" Pama huffed. Looking around for any monsters that might have heard the aluminum can. But saw nothing so he glared at Hapundar "I have no intention of fighting another monster. The spider bitch queen was already hard, I don't want something Harder" He growls.
