Chapter 6: Didn't Have It In Me

I'm editing the shit out of these chapters. Lol
Enjoy!

"You guys should have never even gotten them in the first place!" Oscar shouts exasperated, pacing back and forth, trying to think of something to fix this problem.

When we got to our cars, Oscar, Erik, and Asher, were already in their cars waiting for us. Nobody said anything as we got there so we all packed our things in and left as quickly as possible.

The two soldiers went into Anthony's truck and Ozzy went along with him, so Elvia went with us. We all get along perfectly fine because Vanessa and Ale have gotten to know her and I have known her since high school.

Now I'm driving and we're all followed Oscar because he was the one ahead of everyone else and an hour and a half into the rode, he turned into a grassy rode. We all followed and in a few minutes we start to pass by trees until it was all forest surrounding us except the road that has been formed by many cars passing this pathway. Into 20 minutes, we stop passing by trees and more grassland starts to takes place. I'm guessing there use to be farms out here? I don't know, it's too dark out here. Then we see a house. A white house, 2 floors with white wooden fence around the house.

We all stopped with some distance from the house. If there are people living there, then we need to be cautious and put some distance from them. But from what it looks like, this place looks abandoned, well except for the Zombies that are around it. Yeah, about 15 around the front lawn. Nothin that we can't handle, though.

Some stayed in their cars watching the soldiers but when we got out of our cars and started walking towards the house, armed, we see that there are about a hundred zombies around the back house. Holy shit. We were going to get shooting but we needed everyone to help us on this one. Also, it's really dark, so I think we're gonna try tomorrow morning.

So right now, we're all back to our cars, discussing how we're going to do this and what to do with the two soldiers. And Oscar is pissed!

"They saw me and Ozzy, and we're about to report it so we had to bring them down and shut them up," Anthony explains.

"That, and we couldn't let them go. They could've followed us," Ozzy defends.

"Yeah, well what are we going to do with them now!?" Oscar says back, jerking his hand toward the soldiers. The soldiers are on their knees on the floor in the middle of our large circle. None of them are wearing their ridiculous mask anymore. And to be honest, both of them are very handsome and very fit. They haven't said a word since we left the market, not even to go to the restroom. They just stare at everyone and listen.

We all look at them and stay silent.

I look down at the soldiers and make eye contact with the brown hairs soldier. He's very handsome, gorgeous even, and has the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen. I get dazed for a moment but then snap out of it. Without double thinking, I say, "Let's hold on to them for a while. Maybe they have some information that we need." Everyone snaps their heads to me, making me feel uneasy. Bad idea? I shouldn't have opened my stupid mouth.

"That's an idea," I hear Sam's voice suggest somewhere. Now everyone turns to Oscar, waiting to see what he has to say about that.

He looks at me long and hard, then does the same to everyone else. Finally, he looks down at the soldiers that look back at him with no expression on their faces.

"Fine. We'll do that after we clear this place," he says through his clenched teeth. We all nod in agreement and Oscar tells us to sleep in our cars for now. We'll get started tomorrow morning. We all go into our own cars, already knowing how uncomfortable it's going to be. I'm not sure how they're gonna keep an eyes on the soldiers, but before I ask, my head leans back on the car seat and I fall fast asleep.
