Chapter 8: Learning To Fight

We finished practicing with the gun and went to sleep.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" a high pitched female scream woke me up. It was Natalia! I opened my eyes, and got out of bed and headed to Natalia's and Lilly's room. Natalia was sitting up in bed, sweating. It looked like she just came out of a gym. Lilly looked confused and watched me as I entered the room. Natalia then set her gaze on me, breathing heavily. "what happened? Natalia, Are you OK?" she looked at me, suddenly confused. "just- just a dream... sorry" just a dream. "why are you sorry?" we both seemed to calm down. "for waking you..." she seemed unsure of herself. "its fine, dont worry about it" I sat beside them on the bed. As soon as i sat down Brook rushed in the room "what happened?" answered to help Natalia. "just a dream" he looked at me. I wonder what happened in her dream "what happened in your dream, Natalia?" Brook and me both asked at once. She glared at us. "I would rather not talk about it..." was it really that bad? but seeing her again, got me thinking about how I almost killed her earlier. " I am sorry about earlier... very sorry". she stared at me like she did not care. "well, be glad you did not kill me". she said it with a small laugh. I looked at brook and he just looked plain confused. "what time is it?" Natalia looked at me, searching for a response. I did not know so I looked at brook and he glanced at his watch. "its... 5:57... come with me girls... lets practice" we got up and followed him to the previous room I was at, the basement. Lilly grabbed my hand and looked up at me. we heard growling, moaning and a animal type scream. "its ok Lilly, its ok" she squizzed my hand, we followed Brook past the hall with zombies and went to a cement made room. The door was made of steel and there was a padlock. He entered the code which I did not see and opened the door. Natalia leaned over to me and whispered "4417" I looked at her confused. "what do you mean?". She leaned over to me again and said "the code for the pad locked door is 4417". Oh I get it now. "oh ok". After that we entered the room with it revealing shields. Many filled with guns and ammo. Brook walked to the back of the room and grabbed four ear protectors. A small rifle, a AK47, 2 shotgun. He all so grabbed ammo. He handed us a ear protector, and each a gun. Even Lilly. He gave me a shotgun, Lilly got the small rifle but Natalia took it for her and Natalia herself got the AK47. We walked out of the room, leaving the door open and went to a room I have not seen yet. There were pot lights and some wooden stands brook lead Lilly to the first one that was shortest. I also noticed how the first stand was 2 feet and the next was 4 inches higher than the last. The next was always around 4 inches higher. Natalia was taken to the next stand with a stool. And I was taken to the one 2 after hers. He told us each to stand there. He pointed to the dummy ahead of me and said "aim, fire, reload. Got it." I did as he said and heard him go to Natalia. "know how to shoot, nutella?" wow. I did not know he already had a nick name for her... Wow. She looked at him and smiled and blushed. "haha. Ya. My family has guns." her voice dell a bit when she said family. I kind of felt sorry for her but not. Yah tally I am a always nice person. I guess this whole apocalypse is getting to me. He put his hand on her waist and responded "the past is the past, nutella. Good job for the gun." with that he walked away then went to Lilly. At that point 'Nutella' was blushing madly. Like a tomato now. She looked weird. To be honest, I think I am kind of jelouse. Boys can do this bad thing to a girl's bff.
