It felt different.
I had seen things.
I wasn't so forgiving anymore.
But still I was willing to compromise.
(You might want to revisit the last paragraph of chapter whatever to catch up cause it's been a long time since I updated)
I open the door and gasp. The bodies of guards are strewn around the place and there is blood everywhere. I look to the corner of the room and see a now four year old Luks, it had been her birthday had been while we were on the run, clutching a pistol, pointed straight at me.
"Luks honey, put the gun down." I tell her while slowly move towards her.
"Sophie." She yells towards the ladder. "A lady is here and she knows my name."
Sophie jumps down the ladder, holding a hatchet over her head, and hollering towards me. I quickly drop down causing her to trip over me and land on a heap of rotting bodies. Rory dashes in with a shotgun in hand.
"No body move!" He yells before lowering his gun and collapsing onto his knees because of his gunshot wounds.
"RORY!" Luks squeals before running over to him and hugging him.
"Oh it's you." Sophie moans rubbing her eyes.
"Wow." I say after helping her up out of the bodies. "How many did you get?" I ask gesturing towards the guards.
"Sixty four, took us three hours, we expected more but then we just heard them all leaving." She replied
"I helped a lot." Luks pipes up. I look over to Sophie.
"Its true, we woke ten minutes before they stormed in, I gave her a quick lesson on how to handle a pistol and a pocket knife and we were set."
"How much ammo did you use." I ask, before setting Rory down on a chair.
"God always with how much is used, you should just be happy that we're alive." She starts to yell.
"I case you haven't noticed we aren't rolling in resources." I snap back.
"Three smoke bombs, five blades and some ammo, I don't know how much, but we searched these guys for everything they had and we found heaps of meds and bandages, plus some food and heaps of ammo and other junk." Sophie replied.
After searching through our supplies, I manage to carry Rory onto the roof and wash, stitch and bandage his wounds.
"What's next?" He asks. "We should go to the harbour, I'm fairly sure it's all quarantined by the military but we'll be safe there."
"No," I said, "We avoid the military at all costs, we gotta get to the safe zone." "We need to go around the back though, I know someone who can help." I say, shuddering at the idea of living in a military controlled zone.
"Arrow, the safe zone's destroyed," Rory says raising his voice slightly
"I can't be caught by the military, they'll do things to me that no human being should be put through." I say sounding more desperate by the minute.
"Fine," Rory says giving in, "Where's this someone who can help live?"
"Mountains." I say.
"And how do we get there?" Rory asks regretting asking immediately
"Well you can barely walk, Sophie is still unstable and Luks will just get tired so we take a car."
"And where are we meant to find a car?" Sophie asks getting seemingly impatient.
