[ 1 week passes.]
"Harald?" I whined."Oliver, it better be a serious question. Otherwise, don't bother me." Harald stressfully says, grabbing the scalpel from the side table.
"When are we going to go out for food?" I asked, kicking my legs from the counter I was sitting on.
"I said, '' It better be serious.'' That's not a serious question."
"I'm hungry! I feel like I'm going to die of starvation."
"A little dramatic."
"Please? I won't bother you anymore! I promise!" I held out my pinky to him as he turned to face me.
"Fine. Put your finger down." He grabbed a coat and handed it to me as he got the jacket.
"Why don't you get the coat? I don't want you to get cold." I put a hand on the coat and gently pushed it away.
"Oliver, don't make me put it on you myself." He shoved the coat into my chest.
"Fine."
We both then walked out of the door as a cold gust of wind blew through the door.
We both searched for food for 2 hours now.
"Hey, Harald!" I tugged on his sleeve as I pointed to a building that caught my eye. "Do you think that that building would have any food?"
"It looks like a place for someone to stay in, so we can certainly check." He smirked and turned to the building and I followed behind.
We both entered the rundown building and immediately saw a young woman tied to a wall.
I regret asking about this place.
She was dressed in white and was extremely bloody. Her eyes, despite the blood, seem to stare right at me. Her arm is heavily bandaged. There is another person in the back of the room but he is tied to a chair. They both looked to Harald.
"Damn you to hell Harald Jones!" The man yelled.
"I appreciate that from a man who is tied to a chair. Do you have any food in here?""You deserve to starve! Kid! Runaway! He's dangerous!" He yelled.
Harald took a pile of rubble and shoved it in the guy's mouth.
"Sure, sure. Since you're one of those people who believe everything they hear, how about believing this: If you don't shut your mouth and disrespect someone who is trying to SAVE the world, you're going to die pretty quick." Harald looked into his eyes.
The guy then spit out all of the rocks and sand. He then gave Harald a dirty look.
Harald turned to the woman.
"Excuse me, ma'am. If you show me where the food is, I'll take off those chains."
She quickly pointed to a bag in the other corner of the room.
He goes over and picks up the bag. Inside of the bag there was some canned meat. Not much, but it's something.
As he is looking through the bag, two men come in.
"What's going on here?" One of them asked. They both looked over to the 2 people and nervously took in a breath.
"Just getting some food. We'll be leaving now." Harald gently grabbed my arm and started to walk with the bag.
Before he could make it to the door, one of the officers stepped in front of him and kneeled in front of me.
"Young boy, what's your name?" He quietly asked.
