Phoebe's POV
I sat quietly and stared at the floor as I waited for something to happen. For rhea to sit up, for someone to tell us that it was safe to move. But no noise was heard.
I sat up and looked around. The room was practically bare except for the bed which rhea was on and the chairs me and sally sat on. I walked over and knelt beside her.
"You OK?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. You?"
"I'm doing OK."
"The worlds gone to shit hasn't it?"
"It really has"
The conversation didn't last long, and before I knew it, bailey had walked in.
"Hey, its safe to come out now, we've all moved back to the school, its pretty safe there."
Sally stood and walked out. I wrapped rhea in the blanket and followed.
The walk to the school was long and my feet felt heavy. My dress almost blew up due to the light breeze. The sky was clouded and looked like it was about to rain.
The school looked eerie, dark and abandoned. No more kids screaming swear words over the oval, no more kids kicking balls (heh heh) and no more teachers. The front gate scraped the concrete as bailey pulled it shut.
"Were all in the hall" he shouted after us, as the first drops of rain began to fall.
Walking into the hall felt strange. The warm glow of the heaters and everyone pulling tables together was... Weird.
Genevieve, Christos, Caitlin, and Hayden were missing. I walked over to Georgia and asked where they were.
"Hm? Christos and Caitlin I have no idea but Genevieve and Hayden went to b block to look for cloth and beddy type shit."
"ah ok. As long as they're safe."
"eh I guess so"
With the conversation clearly over, I walked over to Jasmine, who was idly arranging guns and weapons. A slick black pistol rested in the pocket of her skirt, and a long rifle was strung over her shoulder. I was surprised at how many guns we had, let alone knives.
She noticed me and spun around, startled.
"phoebe! I didn't notice you there... You need anything? "
" oh... Not really but.. Could I grab a pistol? I want to look for Genevieve and Hayden."
"no problem. Just pick one and keep it. We will need to distribute them soon anyway."
"Thanks"
My hands glided over the array of guns. A small black and brown one caught my eye. After running past bailey the way to use a pistol, I headed for b block.
