Chapter 4

Rosie's pov

Once lunch was finished and I felt the fullest I had felt in a long time, Sally came over to be

'We have set up a living area, I put you neer Coden and Molly and whatnott, follow me and I will also run through rules and terms with you' she smiled offeringly. I stood up and waved a small good bye to the group who were preparing for leaving. I followed Sally

'As you can see, we have bult a rather friendly community and we wish to keep it that way' Sally said

'They haven't been out there for long, they haven't lived it?' I asked

'Yes, and hopefully they won't ever have to' her voice was a bit strict.

'Theres more to life than there living, so you teach them how to suvive out there in case the worse happends' I asked

'Were here' she said stopping in front of a shop which use to be called 'ever stone gardens'

'And no, they won't go out there again, neither will you, kills like this sent required, stop worrying Honey it's okay, get yourself settled, ill be back soon so discuss matters with you' she smiled and walked off. I was left with a large room. There was a double bed in the far corner, it had London patterd pillows and duvays, alone with a cream blanket and some random pillows. Beside it was a wooden bedside table thing with candles and a lamp. In the corner was a wardrobe and some draws. There was a sofa, book shelf and other things you find in a normal living room. In the corner neer the white pained window was a door. I walked up to it and pushed it open. Inside was a bathroom with a shower, toilet, sink and shower supplies. It felt almost like home again. I walked out and jumped when I saw Sally

'Hi' I smiled

Hello, Rosie, I have returned like I implied' she spoke and I nodded my head

'As you can see you have supplies, cloths in the wardrobe and food is provided at the food area, also neer the north side of the shopping centre that's where we have supplies like shampoo and other cleaning products. We also have cloths shop aswell thou we are rationed so remember not to go crazy' I nodded my head 'we are supplied with electricity since local windmills and also power which we ended up with. Okay rules we don't kill, steal or show any bad behaviour, we are a community we must work toghter if we want this to work, no leaving the premises unless nessaory, helping out is expected but you don't have to, we have events that are on the events board neer the main east entrance, I think you get the hang of it' she gave a friendly laugh and I joined in

'What are the punishment I'd anyone brakes these rules' I asked

'No one had yet, and hopefully they won't, I guess exile will be nessaory according to the severity of the crime' she said. I saw Coden and the rest approching

'Ill see you around, need me my numbers 06259 on the phone, it's under the bedside cupboard alone with a list of other useful numbers' she smiled then walked off

'Hey' Coden smiled as he approached. I was sorting to like, like, Coden, but just becuase my husband is dead dosnt mean I can go for another guy. I still loved him.

'Were having a movie night at mine, wanna join' Paula asked

'Ermm, sure what are we watching' I asked

'Dunno yet, guess well debate when we get there' she laughed.

'Okay, erm sure I'd love to' I smiled

'Okay, lets go, I live 2 shops down from you' she laughed. We all walked down to her room. Her room looked similar to mine, only difference is that it had a few personal touches like rabbit cushions on the sofa and photos on the wall. Ill go down to the shops tomorrow and get some stuff. I went and sat down onto the sofa alone with the others.

'Okay movies go' she said

'Invertweeners the movie'

'40 year old virgin'

'Dirty dancing'

'Footloose'

Oh crap it was now my turn, the others were just blurring out movies and I didn't know what she had in the collection

'Errmm I don't mind' I said

'Okay I vote for inbertweeners so we will go for that' Paula smiled and wonderd over to the TV.

'Did you use to watch the inbertweeners' Coden asked

'Mu husband did' I said, my voice braking at the thought of him.

'Oh, I use to love it, weird to think they could be all dead ones now' he said trying to lighten his voice

'Dead ones?' I asked

'The "zombies"' he said doing the tented

'Oh, I see, we called them blanks' I gave a faint smile trying to shake it off.

Paula put the film on and we sat in silence watching, thou I felt Coden getting closer and closer ever so slightly. I didn't mind, it made me feel protected but then again wronge. Oh so wronge...
