At The End of The World [2]

[13] The End Of Everything

The green fog cleared out from all rooms and every inch of the building.

Tom had his forehead against the door as he pulled the lock of the door over and over till it opened and he lifted his head with a smile while opening the door and came in.

“Guys! Everyone!"

He yelled and looked down, seeing Drake sitting on his knees. Tom quickly moved to him.

"Drake! Drake..."

Tom held his cheeks as Drake had black lips and was sweating. Drake was barely keeping his eyes open and whispering his name.

"Tom... Tom, the evil woman... Send us home. Now."

"Drake... Drake, I can't do that."

"Please, Tom. Home. Now."

Drake begged and tears fell down Tom's eyes as he saw Drake give his last breath.

"I am sorry, buddy." Tom sobbed and stood up going upstairs in slow motion as more tears ran down his eyes.

~In that day, I checked every room...~

Tom opened his room and Karen was laying dead on his bed. He ran to her and screamed while jumping to the bed ending on his knees beside her head. He cried loudly as he touched one of her cheeks and her eyes remained opened looking at the ceiling.

"NO!" Tom screamed and kissed her cold lips and sobbed, holding his forehead against hers.

~Every...room...~

Tom opened the panic room and the survivors were all dead with the cyborg woman over them like if they had tried to protect the survivors.

Tom go to Brook's room and opened it seeing Brook dead and Aroeht's head laying upon Brook's chest.

"No... Brook..." Tom fell on his knees, crying and sobbing and more tears coming down his eyes. He screamed in agony and rage.

Wearing only a black shirt of short sleeves, a jacket of blue and red squares wrapped around his waist, jeans, and some old red converses, he walked through a hallway with swollen eyes and his walk was slow.

He held a rifle.

~This is my salamander family whom she missed with. And she has gotta pay for that.~

Tom thought and pushed himself to walk faster. He got to the basement and he looked around seeing Patty laying against a wall while holding Ellis' head against her lap and crying and Sobbing but she had black lips and was sick too.

The alien woman was breaking one of her chains but she heard a gun being charged so she looked at the direction of the door and saw Tom, lifting his rifle and aiming at her. She smirked.

"Ah, you. You most be a lucky one. I closed the doors so that no one could get out."

"Lucky for me," Tom said. "I was already out." He said and shot her forehead. Creating a bloody hole so that she gasped and stared at him with a shaky head. He shot her again on the same spot and charged his gun as he gave a step closer.

She was breathless but she fell on her back and Tom walked up to her and shot her chest over and over. Patty smiled with her lips but shut her eyes closed by feeling pain and she looked away.

Tom stopped, heavily breathing and lowering his rifle so he threw it away. He stared at the alien woman for a few seconds. Relieved he finally killed the evil woman.

Tom turned around and ran to Patty and knelt on one knee in front of her.

"Are you okay? Can you still talk?"

"I am okay, I am okay."

She whispered with a sad smile of lips and he held her cheeks. Tom sighed with a small smile of lips.

---

“Are you going to do it?” Patty whispered.

"Do what?"

"Send... Us... To the better place?"

"I... I don't know."

"These aren't moments to be selfish, Tommy - Loo."

She tapped his nose with one finger and chuckled. He chuckled but she coughed again and swallowed hard with her eyes shut.

"God, I hate this. I always hated this. Since I was a kid! Ew." Patty said, sticking out her tongue so that Tom chuckled as tears fell down his eyes.

"Hey, Harry Potter, why are you crying?"

"Because you're dying... Because everyone is dead..."

"But you're the freaking last guy alive..."

"That doesn't help!"

Tom yelled and she chuckled but touched one of his cheeks and Tom closed his eyes, putting his hand upon Patty's cold hand. Tears rolled down Patty's eyes.

"Tom, no matter if we lose our memories... We will always be salamander family."

She said and he opened his eyes and Patty smiled with her lips but was barely keeping her eyes open.

"Now, I think I need to... Rest."

She said and slowly threw herself onto one shoulder and started to sleep. Tom touched her hair and watched her. But she died, sleeping. Tom cried more and more but stood up and ran away.

~Then, I decided to do it. I gave it a chance. But instead of the nineties, I moved it to the year 2000.~

{Year: 2000}

Brook was eating a hot dog while being on a wheelchair and being outside a hospital with multiple people eating around and playing. He wore a black jacket, gray shirt, black jeans and red converses. He looked at the roof and saw the birds flying.

~In this year, everything is back to normal. Everyone is happy. The people is still alive.~

Brook moves around there in his wheelchair and he stumbles with someone.

"Oh. I am sorry, I didn't look." Tom said.

"No, I am sorry. Wheelchairs hit everyone."

Brook said and Tom laughed, he wore a green jacket with a red shirt of squares inside and some white shirt inside that one, jeans, and brown boots as his hands were inside his pockets. Both chuckled and told their names to each other, shaking hands.

They heard girls laughing from the street in front of them so they looked and there was Aroeht, Patty, Ellis, Karen all wearing chick clothes and they had Drake whom wore glasses and dressed like a nerd.

"Pretty ones, huh? I like the red head." Tom said.

"I like the brunette one."

Brook said and the girls looked at them and Brook and Tom blushed. The girls smiled and waved their hands at them as same Drake.

Tom and Brook waved at them and then looked at each other.

"Want some coffee?"

"Sounds good. I pay."

"Meh, I pay."

They kept their conversation as they entered the coffee shop beside them and the sun was brighter than ever and the skies were flying.
