The Diary Of The Dead

Step 13 : Dying Light

The case closed and Reggy is switched into Guard duty . He was a crow for way too long , lost way too much that he seem to be unable to endure . Hence , he decided himself to become a Guardian .

A person I once respect . Gone . Eventhough he might be a jerk , he is still a friend .

His face is pale as an iceberg . Colder than the ice .

He lost his souls . He lost his Family .

Tom pulled me into the tent and told me that Cecil was looking for me .

So I went to talk to Cecil . It seems the atmosphere in here is colder than the weather outside .

"Whatsup-- "

"We need to kill it " Cecil interrupted roughly . "Today" He added .

"I -- I'm in ! " Tom raises his hand . You think this is kindergarten kid ?

Cecil just smile .

"Need a hand ? " Zoan smack the table with his muscular arms . His deep Russian voice just made him sounds scarier .

"YESSS !! " Gunther just picked up his favorite dual wielding machete .

"Captain ? " Cecil shot the question to my heart .

"I .. I .. I can't " I replied softly .

The room went quiet . I can hear Gunther's frowns and the sound of his machete colliding with each other .

Zoan looked at me . Staring into my soul .

"What are you afraid of ? " Zoan asked with a very serious tone .

My tongue are tied and I can barely speak a word .

"N..nothing .. " I replied with a very shaky voice .

"Captain , this is not you . " Cecil said with his eyes locked into mine .

I avoided further eye contact and grab a seat . Palming my face with both hands .

"Is it about that ? " Tom grabbed my shoulder , turning me to face him .

"About what ? " Well , it seemed that we got Cecil's interest now .

"We saw someone .. " Tom answered the question for me .

"Saw someone ? "

"Yup , and I think you should ask the captain for the detailed part "

I sighed as soon as the Crew pinned me down with their gazes .

I told them the story about Jack . About when he saved me from a hunter .

About when he died infront of my eyes .

The tent went quiet . So quiet .

Its too quiet until I can even hear myself engulfing my saliva .

"So you saw Jack ? " Zoan broke the silence with his scary deep voice .

I nodded heavily .

"This doesn't make sense " Cecil scratches his head thinking about it .

"I saw my mother" Gunther's word caught our attention .

"She's old and can't move without her wheelchair -- " he stopped . "do you think she'll be able to outrun the dead ? " he stood up and kick the table .

Zoan pinned him down with his hand .

He tapped out as soon as he knows that fighting Zoan is a stupid idea .
