The Basement

Out of the Basement

I just can't believe we're doing this. Getting out of the Basement is insane. But staying in the Basement is suicide. I looked at Chili. He looked funny with his helmet on his head. I could tell he didn't like it. He tried to get it off every 5 seconds.

Mom picked up the big baseball bat and gasped.

"Girls, are you ready?" Mom said. She was frightened. Who couldn't be? We are going to go out and kill Death Slayers just to get food. What if we get killed? What if my delicate little sister gets hurt?

"I'm ready" I said nerviously, thinking in all the awful ways my life could end, in just some seconds. "Macy, are you ready"

"Mhmm" she said. She was so frightened. "Mom if anything happens to me..."

"You would die over my dead body" Mom said "NO ONE is going to die, OK?"

"So, lets... go?" I said nerviously, looking at Chili

"Yeah, " Mom said clicking in the tablet "Let's go"

Security system is being turned off said the voice Security system is off now.

Everything started going dark, mom looked at us and pulled the doors open.

We climbed up the stairs that guided to the house. Mom entered the house, me, Maryanne and Chili followed. 

We ran to my parent's room and mom locked the door.

"Now what we do?" Maryanne said

"Get to that tree and get the fruit out of it" Mom said

"But the tree must have gone dry!" I said

"Sweetheart, in this island it always rains" Mom said. Well, it is true. "Let's get to that orange tree"

She took the handle. "Are you ready?" She asked. Me and Maryanne signed. Mom opened the door.

We ran to the garden. We still didn't see any death slayers.

When we got outside our house, I entered in shock. Everything was destroyed. Houses were totally destroyed. Now that I see my house, the big tree that was at the side of my house had fallen and damaged the roof. But that wasn't what shocked me. There were dead people. How did they get them? But apparently, my sister didn't care about that. She ran to our orange tree. The orange tree wasn't dead. I ran to get Maryanne, so mom.

Maryanne started eating one of the oranges.

"Maryanne! You can't just run like that! It is dangerous!" Mom said, angry

"Mhm" Maryanne, completely ignoring my mom, because she was tasting one of the oranges. I picked an orange, and mom picked one too. It tasted delicious! Then I gave one to my dog. He liked it too.

We ate all the oranges, and when Maryanne ate the last one, she now saw the dead people.

"What happened to this people?" Maryanne asked looking at the bodies terrified. "We have to get back to the Basement! They would kill us too!" She said, crying.

"But we haven't got anything left in the Basement" I said "Now that we have ate all of the oranges, what do we do?"

Mom looked at me. She had no idea of what to do. The plan was, to get the oranges. We already did that. Now what?

"It is safer in the Basement" Mom said "We can figure out what to do there"

Well, that was in fact, the only thing left to do. I signed

"Maryanne" mom said "Let's go back to the Basement"

Maryanne came running with Chili at her side.

We walked into the house. I could see the walls and bedrooms that were familiar to me. Then we entered the garage. Then, we got in the Basement. It was all dark. Chili started barking like crazy. 

"Stop it!" Mom hissed to Chili.

Then Maryanne screamed and I looked at her. She was pointing at some shadows. But then, I realized that those weren't shadows. There were Death-Slayers.
