"Lou! It's me, Calvin!"
I put down my gun. I start crying. He's alive.
"Guys it's Louella! She's alive!"
Suddenly Ezra, Wade, and Matheo come out of the woods. Holy shit! They all lived?! How?! I'm crying too hard to see them running towards me until too late. I'm engulfed in a huge group hug. My boys returned.
"How are you all alive? What happened?"
"Us? We thought you died when we couldn't find you!"
"You searched for me?"
"Of course we did. Calvin and Matheo were going crazy without you."
They both blush and avoid my eyes. That is new. Definitely will revisit that topic later.
"How did you guys get out?"
"Long story short: pure luck. Only a small group had gone after us. We were able to take care of them and escape. You were gone though. Anyway we eventually found a group of survivors. It's called The Refuge. You need to come with us."
What if this refuge found out about my ability?! Will they try to use me?! I can't let them find out. I don't exactly trust the boys, but I definitely don't trust this group.
"Can my dog come?"
"Dog?"
I blow into my whistle and Honor comes running ready and alert. She barres her teeth at the strangers.
"Down Honor! They are my friends."
I throw her a piece of jerky and she relaxes to eat. Good girl.
"That's a fox, Lou. It's not a pet."
"Excuse me. But we are a package deal."
"Fine. Let's go."
I pack up my stuff and leave with the boys to The Refuge.
