Enduring The Darkness

Chapter 12: Fake Hope?

  I got out of the car as I saw Miyamoto and Zyair as they got out of the car that was behind the car I was in. I saw some men carrying dead bodies and gathering them in the street. How did they survive for 2 days without hiding in any safe place... I had so many questions. Miyamoto and Zyair went inside a building that was destroyed there is no house or building that isn't scratched or destroyed in this town. Paul got out of the car I was in and said ''Don't worry the other 3 you saved are safe and right now you are safe too'' as he said that I looked at the sky it is noon it is getting closer to going dark. I said ''Shouldn't we hide now, the dark is coming.'' He replied ''Don't worry''. A girl came out of the building that Zyair and Miyamoto went in and she said '' I think you are Micheal, come inside the building we need to talk'' I didn't know who she was but I did as I was told and went inside the building. She was so beautiful, redhead she was wearing dark blue pants and a white shirt. It was an old office building they were few damaged desks and Zyair was relying on it as he was staring at me. Miyamoto was sitting on a chair as his eyes closed he seems always calm no matter what the situation is. I saw the redhead girl standing left to an old guy his left eye was brown while his right eye was white, he was wearing a gray suit with a white shirt and gray tench, he had long hair and a beard. On his right, there was a guy with black hair he seemed young he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. There was another black man relying on the wall he was huge his body seemed like a titan, he was muscular and bold. He was wearing a white shirt that was cut off from his arms and had green trousers. 

  The old man looked at me and said '' yes, that's him''. I am sure I never met him before. He continued and said '' The world has gotten dark and humans barely survive the past few years. Many of us died. I think you never looked outside of this town?'' I shook my head with a no and he continued ''some of us created groups in order to survive but others weren't satisfied with what they had so they searched and searched and found ways to gain powers beyond imagination. That's how rituals were found in weird ruins that appeared out of nowhere, rituals that worship demons. Others refused to do such savage things and started to counter the attacks of these creatures and started learning about them. What are they why they ar'' I interrupted and said ''Just get to the point what do you really want from me?'' He smiled and continued ''We have a secure base with a lot of supplies and I heard about what you did. We are gathering survivors as much as we can and some have abilities as you already saw. We want you to join us''. I thought for a few seconds before replying ''No, I won't leave here. I would appreciate it if you would leave the supplies in this town.'' Zyair said ''Why don't we take it all and for'' the old guy interrupted him ''Enough'' then he continued '' I know you might not understand now but one day you will. We need your help and every help possible for what we getting ready for.'' I asked '' and that is?'' he continued '' We have found a way to end this once and for all.'' I started thinking about what happened  in the cave and asked '' End what?'' The old guy looked at me as he said ''End this nightmare and make these demons go back to where they should be''.

  I didn't believe what he said but if there was a chance to end this for real I would want to make it possible. I didn't understand why he would need me but I couldn't just say no to that even if it was fake hope '' And why would I believe that'' Miyamoto said '' Whether to believe or not that's up to you but would you believe it if I told you I could use fire with my sword if you haven't seen it by your own eyes?'' the redhead girl said ''You would have people to talk to and have a safe place to live in instead of being alone in this town'' Zyair said '' besides if we decided to take all your supplies in here what could you do all alone against us. You were lucky these clowns didn't know how to shoot'' I really wanted to punch him in the face but he is right I have no hope against them and if there are people in a secure place as they really say I will have a better chance to survive than being here all by myself. I looked at that old guy and said ''I have no ability but I know how to shoot, I will help but I will need to do few things before we go'' He was pleased to hear that and said ''Glad to hear you changed your mind, you got 1 hour before we depart and please forgive Zyair for his threat we don't mean any harm he just cautious around new people'' I replied '' 1 hour should be enough''. All my rules were broken and everything is changing around me... I don't know how all this will end but I will do all I can to survive.
