The Soulless

Chapter 5

I started to cry. Phoebe can't be missing!

I wanted to run but there was a herd of soulless running our way.

"She's a smart dog, she can do it, she's- she's ok," I tried telling myself.

Brent rubbed my arm and tried to comfort me. Amara was kind of in shock, she was just sitting against a tree.

I looked over my shoulder and saw that the soulless had passed. Now I can go look for Phoebe.

"Phoebe!" we all yelled. "Please come back!"

"Here pups!" Amara called.

Brent was holding on to my hand. I was shaking too much and I needed some comfort so he was helping me.

"Amara, Evelyn! Look!" Brent screamed. He pointed to some paw prints.

I jumped up and down with joy.

"Ow," Brent sighed. I didn't realize I was squeezing his hand. I let go of him and ran towards the prints.

I saw Phoebe in a crate. "Phoebe!" I yelled. I ran to the crate and unlocked it.

Phoebe jumped onto me and knocked me to the ground. She was licking my face. Amara ran to me and started petting Phoebe. Brent did the same.

We started walking on the trail. Phoebe stayed very close, I tripped on her a few times.

"A house!" I shouted. I ran to it with Phoebe following.

The house was in great shape. The windows weren't broken the door was shut, the house was steady and no paint was chipped off.

I picked the lock and ran inside.A fridge! A t.v.! A couch!

Oh my gosh! I was so extremely happy.

I ran to the couch and hopped over it. I flopped onto the couch.

Amara went over to the fridge. "Oh my gosh! Food!" She yelled. I got off the couch and ran to the food. The fridge was stocked perfectly with delicious food. "Bacon any body?" Amara asked with a huge smile on her face. I don't think I've ever seen her this happy.

We ate the bacon and drank some water. We all took showers and found clean clothes in two of the bedrooms.

I sat and watched tv the rest of the day, this is the first break I've had since the outbreak.

Phoebe followed Amara into her room. So I guess that means Brent and I are sharing. Yay...

I made a bed on the floor.

"Evelyn, you can have the bed." Brent told me.

"No it's fine." I responded. He shrugged and walked to the bed.

About and hour passed and I couldn't sleep.

"Brent?" I whispered.

"Evelyn?" he asked.

"I can't sleep." I said with tears starting to fall out of my eyes.

"Me neither."

"I miss my mom,"

"Come here," he told me. I got up with more tears falling. When I got to his bed he pulled me onto the mattress.

He wrapped his arm around me and put his chin on my head.

"Brent," I started, "Why did you kiss me?"

I could tell he was embarrassed. He chin tightened up, I could feel it on my head.

"I guess," he sighed, "I guess I was under pressure,"

"Oh,"

"What?"

"Nothing,"

He chuckled and flipped me so I was facing him.

He sat up and pulled me with him.

He pulled my hair behind my ear and caressed my face.

I could barely breathe.

He pulled his other hand up and held my head. He leaned forward and our heads were touching.

I closed my eyes and let out a slight laugh.

I could feel a smile spread across his face as he kissed me.

I kissed him back. He pushed me so my back was on the bed.

He pulled his lips away from mine and pinned me down. I was laughing with joy.

I couldn't really do anything besides laugh. I was shocked.

He leaned down and pecked my lips.

"Feel better now?" he laughed.

"Not yet," I sighed. I gained strength and pushed him onto his back. I pushed my lips against his sighed. "Now I'm better,"

I rested my head on his chest and he rubbed my back.

"Goodnight Evelyn," he sighed.

"Goodnight Brent," I said sleepily. I buried my face into his chest and slowly drifted to sleep.
