The City

                  ''Back where?'' Asked Cathrine.

''To The City'' Carlo answered without hesitation. I widened my eyes looking at him ''No. We can't go back''. Carlo looked at me ''No other choice. If we go forward we will die. If we go back we have a chance. The only way is through those places. I better choose The city where we can live longer'' 

I nodded looking out of the window not wanting to say anything. They continued talking for a while when the car started moving. We were going back to The City. I sighed thinking that we should try to find a new place. I was moving around when I winced in pain from my stomach.

Carlo heard it too since he was sitting next to me ''What's wrong?''

I shook my head ''Nothing. I just hit my arm'' I lied. Not wanting him to worry about me.

He sighed and nodded and turned back in his place. While no one was looking I lift my shirt to see that I have been cut, probably from the trash I jumped into. It didn't look very deep but it was bleeding. I took a cloth that was in my pocket and covered it. I put my shirt back down, I will take care of it when we will have time.

It started to get dark, only the moon and stars were seeable. We were close to the city, I could see the tall buildings, no lights I could see. The cloaks didn't care. They moved in the shadows.

We started driving in the city, I could feel Carlo gripping my hand and I held it back, It looked like a ghost town. No lights, no life, nothing. We stopped by some cafe. I opened the doors first, I was about to step out of the car when I heard something, quickly closing the doors and locking them. 

I looked at Carlo ''What now?''

He shrugged ''I don't know. Didn't think it this far''

I chuckled ''Great Carlo. Amazing. So did your awesome plan even include us getting out of here?'' I took my hand out of my grasp and turned back to look out the window. That's it, I will go out myself.

I unlocked the doors and opened them. I could hear Carlo and others whispering to me to come back, but I didn't listen I just walked to the cafe. I could hear something or someone but I didn't care. I opened the doors and walked inside. It was a small cafe, with tables and cute decorations even though I couldn't see them all, but I saw some. I walked further in when I heard the doors to the cafe open. I turned around it was Carlo and Christina. I sighed, relaxing when knowing it's them.

I turned around went to the kitchen. It was quiet. I walked in and looked for food or water or storage room. I could hear them following me. There it was again the sound. I didn't know what it was but it sounded like a screech or some yell or maybe both. I walked in further. I saw a knife and I took it just in case something attacks us. I walked and walked, my breathing getting heavier. Finally, I was standing in front of the storage room. I walked towards it and opened it then something jumped on me, I lost the knife. It was the cloak. I tried to kick him off but I couldn't. Then I heard a bang, I looked up and it was Carlo hitting the cloak with a pan.

I sighed ''Thank you'' I pushed the body off of me, got up, and looked at the body ''Do you think it's dead?''

Christina walked towards it and checked its pulse ''It's breathing''

I sighed not wanting to deal with a body ''Let's tie him up and wait for him to wake up. I think he's is the only one here. I will go get others''

I walked outside and opened the doors. Samuel jumped and screamed ''AAAH. Alexa... Do you want me to get a heart attack?''

I chuckled shaking my head ''Sorry... We got the only cloak...You can come in''

I turned to walk away and they followed, Samuel was next to me being nervous. We walked inside and got to the kitchen by the storage room. Christina and Carlo tied him up to a chair and found a lamp, and it's working. Nice, I thought.

Samuel and Christina, who helped Adrian to walk, Adrian walked in the storage to probably eat.

We spent the next hour eating and drinking, waiting for the clock to wake up. And it finally did. Looking around and trying to get out of the restraints. Carlo and Christina did well with tying him up.

I walked in front of him so he can see me ''This is what will happen... You will tell us everything you know and maybe we will let you go... Maybe''

He did say anything just looked at me. I sat down in front of him ''Let me say that again... If you don't talk, I will kill you''

He still didn't talk. I got up and walked behind him, I was about to take off his hood when he started moving around. 

Realization draws to me ''Well, well, well... Talk''

I could hear him sigh when he suddenly talked with a very low voice ''We do not wanna harm you''

I chuckled ''Right. You tried to kill us''

He looked up at me ''No. We tried to capture you''

I asked not believing him ''Why?''

I could see he didn't wanna say anything ''Talk right now''

He looked down ''Only you can help us''

I shook my head not believing any of his words ''How?''

He smirked ''Your memories''
