The day has ended, and still no sight of Silas.
More time pass, it was now 12am. A knock sounded at the door. Everyone grabbed their weapons, just in case, and slowly proceeded towards the door.
Jennet peaked out the little hole, while Tallie and Eri got into position.
"Clear. It's Silas, and he's alone," Jennet confirmed.
Silas walked in with blood drooping everywhere. Feeling guilty, Eri looked down. She walked up to Silas and slapped him.
"Ow!" Silas exclaimed, "I don't know if you're aware, but I'm injured bad. —And it hurts!"
"Idiot. You're injured because of your dumbass decision. That was reckless as hell!" Eri screamed. Her voice cracked, and tears streamed down.
She placed her hands over her face covering her eyes while lightly crying.
Silas slowly walked to Eri closing the gap between them and embraced her, gently. He then placed his hand over her hand, patting her and brushing her hair slowly.
A deep sigh left his mouth.
Eri pushed Silas off her and dried up her tears. "Alright, go clean up, dummy," Eri said, sniffling.
Silas smiled and went to his room so Jennet could treat his wounds.
Jennet grabbed the kit. She took out the alcohol to clean the wounds and bandages for the finishing touch.
"You know, that was really reckless, Silas," Jennet said.
"Ah! Gonna give me a lecture while cleaning my wounds?" Silas exclaimed, in pain.
"Those are strong men--and you have no fighting experience. You could have died!"
Silas looked at Jennet, hoping she'd understand where he was coming from, "I'm sorry! But, Eri had to escape. I would never forgive myself if something bad happened to her, when I could have done something to help."
Jennet looked at Silas, stunned, "Woah," she said.
Those words warmed her heart, and she was happy to see that Eri has found someone that loves and care for her deeply.
"Thank-" Just as the words were about to leave Jennet's mouth, a sound interrupted.
"What was that?!" Silas asked, alarmed.
A scream filled the room. Gun shots sounding like they were shooting from every angle.
"Eri!"
