Elemental Outbreak

CH 24. A Looming Fight.

~Zephyr's POV~

I sat on floor lightly shaking, I couldn't believe it. "I'm so sorry Freya" I said choking on my words, I meant them but I knew they meant nothing sorry wasn't gonna bring them back to us, at least not in the way we want. Freya kept crying as she held Maura in her arms, Eliana was holding Martin, and Jasmine was on the floor too crying her heart out, I didn't fully realize I was crying to, it's not like me.

No one said anything, what could you say. We lost so much in such a short time span all because of one person, it's like my thoughts were being spoken out loud, "I'll fucking kill him, I'll kill him dammit!" I heard Freya yell as she careful laid Maura's head down and got up. "Freya hold up" I said getting up as well, she quickly turned to me, "why?! Don't you want him dead?! He killed Jackson, Haley, Zen, and probably Bryson too! What if Talia is dead! What if he kills Yazmin! We can't let him live" she yelled out.

"I understand but we are all hurting right now if we play this dumb we will get killed as well" I said back to her, "so what Talia was dumb for leaving?! You saying she's dead?!" I was a bit confused as she was just wondering the same thing, "no I didn't say that I'm just trying to make sure we can live" I said back to her, she scoffed out, "Freya he's right what if this makes it worse, we can give Talia another hour or so and if she's not back we'll make a plan to head out, right now I say we give Maura a nice place to rest and mourn our dead" Jasmine said getting up and placing a hand on Freya's shoulder.

Freya aggressively moved her shoulder away, "I will go with or without y'all after this and if y'all want to stop me y'all can most certainly try" she exclaimed using her vines to carefully pick up Maura. I sighed out, it was a start. I can't let her leave, Albien seems to be the type to plan ahead he probably wants us split up, or is trying to pit us against each other. I can't let anything worse happen.

I shot a gust of wind at Bryson as he jumped off the floor and dodged, "oh shit that was close!" He said shoot a blast of light back blinding me momentarily. "Son of bitch!" I said flying up and turning away, "oh fuck off with that flying shit" Jackson said, "what I got to protect myself somehow" I said flying backwards and the slamming onto the ground sending Bryson rolling back a few feet.

"Yeah but that gives you a super unfair advantage" Haley said Bryson started to get up off the floor and walk back over to me, I put my hands up expecting him to continue he put his hand up in surrender. "Well do you think the dead are fair?" I asked out, "obviously I know they aren't I'm just saying we're just trying to get a better grip on our abilities not kill each other" she said chuckling, I sighed and nodded "okay yeah fair enough" I said back walking over to where, Jackson, Haley and Jasmine were sitting.

"Yeah so next time try not to send me into oblivion" Bryson said following after me. I chuckled a bit, "what's next?" Jasmine asked, "I'm not sure I guess we have been doing this all day but there's not much else to do" I said back, we all sighed out after we secured the store across the street there hasn't been much else to do. The world is vast and empty what was once fun is now just a mask for the obvious destruction outside.

I got up and made my way to the exit of the warehouse, "where you going?" Jasmine asked, "just going to do a lap make sure all is good, not like we're doing anything else" I said as I walked off.

I quietly pushed the door open and looked around, "so far so good" I said to myself as I closed the door and started to slowly fly up and circle the building. I flew around for a few minutes and got what I expected, "nothing, you'd think for a zombie apocalypse there would be more zombies especially in a city like this" I said sitting on the roof of the building and looking towards the store.
