The next day the house is in chaos. I may just be stuck in my room but I can hear Logan along with the others outside talking as if they are all freaking out. I tried to peek outside to have an idea what was going on and I saw Jaden and Olivia running from inside of the house towards the garage. Erica and Elora were just there at the deck.
I opened the window to hear them talk but I couldn't understand anything even if I tried to read their lips. They both looked like they were in a daze, unbelieving what was happening right now.
"Elora! Erica!" I shouted as both their heads turned up towards my direction, "What is happening?"
Just as they were about to reply I saw movement on my right and there was Natasha who has the room beside me also looking from her window.
"Yeah. What is happening? I heard you guys running around the place like there is a fire."
The two eyed each other as if they were contemplating whether or not to say things to us. I mean I understand their hesitation. Everyone is already worried about their lives and their friends and family we can't contact and we can't even be there for each other to comfort one another since we are isolated but if we are all in this together they have to tell us things.
"It's Theo." Elora finally answered, biting her lower lip as if preventing the inevitable, "H-He... He finally changed."
My eyes widened as my heart beat skyrocketed. So, what the others found out about yesterday were true. This wasn't just some ordinary sickness, people get bitten and they turn into mindless sick cannibals just like the man we killed yesterday. Just like the people that Aspen and the others had to run over yesterday. And here I am acting all petty, ignoring him all because he did something he needed to do in order to survive the attack. I could've done the same if I was in his position and yet I let my judgments get the best of me.
"What happened? Is everyone okay?" Natasha shouted back just as I heard a masculine voice and I returned my gaze back outside and I saw Sebastian also peeking from his window.
"Everyone's okay. He wasn't able to attack anybody since he was chained." Elora replied.
"Vince?"
Erica shook her head, "He doesn't look good. He looks shaken up. He almost got bitten earlier because he fell asleep watching him."
"Where is he?" Sebastian asked.
"In the lake. He said he needed to think so we just let him after all he won't meet anybody there."
"But isn't that dangerous? There might be more of them out there."
"Logan is with him." my best friend said, looking all worried with sadness in her eyes.
We didn't talk much after that. Looks like everyone was surprised with the information that they just found out so they just quietly closed their windows just like what I did and tried to entertain ourselves with what we have in our room.
A few moments later our breakfast was delivered to us but sadly I didn't catch Aspen this time so I wasn't able to talk to him.
Almost a week has finally passed and I've already read all the books that I have brought with me. I didn't know what else to do during the rest of the day so Natasha and I just found ourselves chatting from our window. Sometimes Sebastian joins us. At first, we wanted to exchange books but then we realized it might've infected our stuff so we just disregarded the idea. At night I just cried myself to sleep praying for my family and the rest of the survivors for safety and then in the morning I just found myself waking from a nightmare. Now Logan is in front of my door explaining that we could finally go out tomorrow morning.
