WARNING: SAD SCENE

Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Tom and Lyndi were inseparable. They held hands under the table, they sat next to eachother; they all in all never left each other's side.

Elly made sure to keep quiet about their relationship, because she's not totally sure if they want to be found out. But still, they're acting all lovey-dovey in front of everyone, so it's not going to be a secret for long. 

"You know what?" Elly suddenly said while everyone was sitting in the living room. Elly decided to play a random movie from Netflix.

"What?" Hannah asked.

"Dinner last night wasn't much," Elly continued. "I was saving steak in the back for a special occasion. I feel that this would be the right time. I also have my family's special dishes stored in the garage. We could have a feast tonight!"

"Are you sure? I mean, using your family's special dishes and steak on us?" Duncan asked.

Elly nodded. "Positive. I feel like this is the right time."  

She showed the Yogscast members in the back of the house, where the steak was stored in a freezer. Hannah got it out and set the frozen pieces of meat in the sink to warm up. Duncan went out to get the fine dishes from the garage.

"How much steak do you have?" Hannah asked Elly as the two got ready to prepare the meal.

Elly shrugged. "Dunno. Usually my Uncle took care of getting the steak in the first place."

"You mean your Aunt and Uncle killed their own cows for meat?" Hannah asked.

"Yup. To save money. Although, they did buy some from the store then and again, and also to get the necessities like bottled water and spices. They were pretty rich before my Uncle had a heart attack a few years ago. He's my mom's older brother. After that, my dad came over once and a while to help my Aunt with the meat. Lucky guy got out before the world went to sh*t." Elly said, while grabbing a few spices out of a nearby cupboard.

"You talk in front of your parents like that?" Hannah teased.

Elly stuck her tongue out. "No. But like every teenager, we do stuff like that when the parents aren't near. And even worse things." She winked. 

Hannah chuckled. "I guess nothing really matters now that the world did go to sh*t."

Suddenly, a loud crashing sound was heard. The two, with everyone else who was in the living room, ran outside to the front porch where the sound came from.

Duncan was on the stairs of the porch, with many sharp pieces of glass everywhere. The rug on the stairs looked ruffled.

"Duncan!" Liam said. "Are you okay?!"

Duncan got up. "Yeah....I'm alright. Sorry about the dishes, Elly."

He looked at Elly, but didn't get a respond. Elly was staring out at the woods, fear shining in her eyes. Everyone followed her gaze, but didn't see anything.

"What is it, Elly?" Lewis asked.

Elly blinked. "We have to hide. They know we're here, and we have to hide." Elly ran back into the house, followed by everyone. Duncan carefully stepped around the shards of glass and ran after them.

"Elly, what do you mean?" Lyndi asked.

"I mean the bandits. They heard us. I know they heard us." Elly turned around.
