Chapter 12: Zoe's POV
I had never seen Dad cry. I bet he didn't realise it, but his whole face was literally wet. I knew I should leave him, but I couldn't stand seeing him like this. As soon as I came over to hug him, I started bawling. Then Charlie did as well. Then my dad started making weird crying noises too. We ended up all huddled together, sobbing. Then my Dad stood up.
"Now is not the time," he ordered "We must fight, or we will have a real reason to start blubbering."
Charlie let out his happy laugh again. Dad and I let out a smirk. Gosh we are weird. One minute we are crying like it's the end of the world. The next one we are laughing like we just won the lottery. Charlie and I picked up our knives. Dad took out his gun.
"Are we ready?" Dad asked. Charlie and I nodded our heads as a reply.
"Then let's go."
