"Honey, what'd you say your name was?" the lady asks. "You can call me Rose, your name?" I answer her question and ask one of mine. "Oh you can call me Mrs.Romano," she says with a smile. "Hm," I say taking a seat next to Violeta.
"I hope you aren't allergic to gluten, we're having loaded potatoes" She hands me a plate with 2 potatoes loaded with melted cheese sour cream, and bacon bits
God it has been a while since I had something to eat that was actually warm i think
"Wait a minute while it co-" she attempts so to say but I'm already stuffing my face, half of the huge potato in my mouth. I attempt to take in big breaths of air even with my mouth stuffed and I begin choking. "Oh gosh," Violeta says next to me as she pats my back switching back in froth from rubbing in circles to stiff pats.
"Here honey water," Her mom said, and as rude as I was I snatched the water from her hand gulping it down in between pauses to catch my breath and let out coughs that pushed their way up.
"Thanks, Violeta" I gasp out as I finally catch my breath. "Sorry," I say embarrassed as I go back to eat this time taking smaller bites as I think I've learned my lesson.
"Of course," she says sounding like she trying not to laugh. Rolling my eyes with a sigh she clears her throat and then we go into silence as we eat.
"Are you guys always this quiet, I mean you guys are closed off, away from zombies and people alike why waste that on being quiet?"
"We like the quiet, it's peaceful, And loud noise attracts unwanted attention from people." Mrs.Romano says.
"That makes one of us," Violeta says under her breath not meant for prying ears
"Let's not talk about this grizzly the only thing he's said the few hours I've been here was when I first came and he called me a pest before throwing me around like a fucking muñeca de trapo [ragdoll] which wasnt appreciated asshole the least you could've said was sorry," I say the last part looking directly at him to which he just grunts, GRUNTS HE FUCKING GRUNTS. The hospitality is so welcoming.
"Try being stuck here 24 hours," Violeta next to me says "Hm someone gets it," I say shrugging as I finish my food. "Enough enough dinners over and make sure to flick off the lights they shouldn't be on at nighttime."
Whatever I have a mission for tonight. I think as I throw my trash out and then head upstairs
she's pretty comfortable being in a zombie apocalypse with a stranger in your home. Now If I was smart I'd think they were working to get my guard down. I'll leave tomorrow depending on what I find in that basement under the stairs. I think as I climb the stairs.
"Goodnight and be careful," Violeta says, hitting me with surprise. "Night" I smile knowing I have no plans of sleeping.
Closing ourselves in our separate rooms I go to lock the door finding out it doesn't lock. "Suspicious, now I know this isn't a place I can lock myself in" I laugh to myself as I watch the clock in darkness and listen for a stop in movement.
A few hours later movement finally comes to a stop and I crack the door peaking out "fuck" I yell in surprise as I
Meet eyes "What the hell," I say as I snatch the door open "Creeping you little fucking weirdo as-" Violeta covers my mouth. "Shhh don't be loud" she whispers as she pushes me into the room closing the door behind her. "I was about to crack the door to see if you were up, if you weren't I would've gone back to my room. I swear" she pleads as she slowly removes her hands.
"I'm getting pissed off, please back away or I'll get angrier," I say in a calm and low voice. "Sorry, sorry I just wanted to talk to you and....fill you in."
"Fill me in about what?" I ask curious and finally ready to put the pieces together
"M-My sister she got turned, well you know that but you-" I cut her off "Cut to the chase please," I say un-patiently
"They keep her- they still have her," she says "They still have her? I want more clues. Tell me what you're trying to say." "They kept her after she turned they took her to the basement and chained her there and whenever they come upon people like you- kids who are alone and wind up here they bait them and when they get comfortable and decide to stay they feed" she chokes on her words "they feed the kids to her" she pushes out finally.
