When Will I See You Again.

Villach.

      "So... Do you happen to know where we are?" I asked the Dane quietly as we walked through the city, and passed what seems like a river.
      "Villach, Austria. That over there is what's left of the Drava River."
      "Oh... So we're close to Italy and Slovenia, huh? Hm..."
      "ya' know? This city's awfully quiet for being so big... I haven't seen any of the infected. Or bandits... Besides the ones chasing you..."
      "Mm. They were from the fenced area a few miles back."
      "Figured."

      We walk in silence for a bit. My leg and side hurt, so we have to stop every once and a while for me to rest.
      The world is so quiet now. Just like when we were younger.
      "So, Mathias..." I say, trying to start a conversation as my social skills... Are not the best, I have to admit.
      "Yeah, what is it Lukas?"
      "Do you think the others are alright? Like... Everyone. Not just the Nordics."
      "Yeah... All of us are as tough as steel when you look back at our pasts. I found Lithuania once, but he had to keep going to look for Poland. He was perfectly fine. A few cuts and bruises here and there, but otherwise fine."
      "I thought you said you never found anyone?"
      "I meant of our family."
      "Oh..."

      We walk the rest of the day in mostly silence until we find an old discount-store to sleep in for the night. And, as normal, the nightmare comes again.

~~~. .~~~
      "Luuuukas~"
      "Mathias~"
      "Come now, children~. "

      Tripping and rolling down the hill, getting sliced by random plants while Mathias slides down the hill carefully behind me. Running to the cliff. Seeing the boat's great white sails. Ribbon. Cloth. Face.

      "Get up!"

Hey, guys! Sorry about the short chapter... Hell of a lot of writers block and also being busy with make up work from school.
