Destruction Of My Own {Book 1}

Chapter 2: No Where to Go

(Lucilles POV)
I woke up to the smell of coffee I guess Dak had got up Earlier than I had but something was bugging me. Its what i had saw in my dream last night. The dream was about Dad, I couldnt stop thinking about his tattoo, it looked like a circle with a diamond in the middle and the number 14 residing within said diamond. Last night Dak and I were looking through pictures of mom and dad and that tattoo on dads arm was different from what we saw. We remember that same Tattoo being a flaming skull not this unintelligible symbol we saw in the pictures. I walked into the Kitchen following the intoxicating scent of the coffee but was greeted with a slightly panicked Dak storing food waters and other things in boxes and another man, a stranger to me but clearly not my brother, was taking the boxes and loading them into An SUV that I was assuming the same one from last night. Dak looked up at me and said "Lucy, drink a cup of coffee and start helping we have to get out of here. He only used my nick name, "Lucy", when he was dead serious so without questions I fixed me a cup of coffee and started drinking it. The stranger walked in again and smiled at me, he was semi-muscular not as Muscular as Dak but still decent looking he was wearing one of Daks shirts that he had got from the rib joint down the way. I was puzzled but again didnt ask questions and continued sipping my coffee, when the stranger exited again I looked at Dak and said "Hey, whos that guy? He is hot maybe I can get his number." Dak looked at me menacingly and said "Back off blondie, he is-" there was a pause then Dak continued to say "Taken" I rolled my eyes and said "why are all the hot guys taken...." Dak smiled and laughed then continued filling boxes. I finished my coffee and washed out the mug and started filling boxes just like Dak. He had finished another box and taped it up and said thanks sis this will go much faster now. The question started ringing repetitively in my head "what the hell is going on?" But it never escaped my mouth. After I had filled the last box I tried standing but my head was pounding and I couldnt bring myself to it was hurting way to bad so I stayed after a few minutes the pain was bearable enough to get up. I poured myself another cup of coffe because I still felt groggy. Dak picked up the last box and started toward the SUV and asked "hey, are you good?" I said in return "yeah just a headache" he nodded and walked out. Tracing the wall I started toward the door and saw outside that the neighborhood was dead, cars were wrecked, lawns were destroyed and nobody was to be found holding the second cup of coffee I started toward Dak and the stranger but dust flew into my eyes, I dropped the cup and it shattered as I started wiping my eyes, in a moment of realization I remembered what I saw when I first walked out the door the dead neighborhood, crashed cars, and ruined lawns and panic washed over me. I started to run but slipped on the broken mug and hit my head on a rock then everything was black. When I woke up I was in the back seat of a car, looking around I realized it was the SUV I saw the stranger in the passenger seat and Dak was getting into the drivers seat, the voice of the stranger was slightly lighter than I'd expected but still masculine the stranger said to Dak "hey ba-...Dak your twin is awake." Dak turned around and smiled saying "Did you have a good nap?" I raised a brow in confusion and Dak said "Sis you slipped on a shattered coffee mug and hit a rock causing you to black out, I got the bleeding to stop." He holds up a hand mirror and I inspect my ugly sore that was crusty with dried blood. I nodded and pushed the mirror down saying "thanks bro." Dak turned around and started up the car and we drove away from the house. I looked back kind of sad but luckily we got all the pictures of Mom and Dad. I grabbed dads lock box which had the key in the key hole. I had never opened this box because I couldn't find the keys, dad left me a riddle after he died that when deciphered gave way to the location of the keys but I could never figure it out. Without looking up I said "Dak did you find the key to this box?" He looked in the rear view mirror and said "yeah the riddle was simply it was literally taped under the coffee table in the living room." He laughed and looked back to the road. I ran the riddle through my head for I had read it so many times it was burned into my brain and I put my hand on my head after getting the realization. I said "I read that stupid riddle 37 times and couldnt figure it out! I was over thinking it so much!" All three of us laughed and the stranger turned to me and said "Hey, my name is Max im Daks bo-..." Dak gave him a harsh look and Max finished with "friend from basic training." I nodded and said "Hi Im Lucille, you already know my relation to Dak." I then giggled and gave a flirtatious wink and got an awkward smile and a turn in return. I started saying in my head "I bet he is gay...that giggle and wink works on straight guys." Then I started thinking about "I wonder if Dak ever got a girlfriend?" I shook the thought off and started to open the box, I turned the Key and opened the top and looked at the beautiful prize within. It was Dads revolver, it had a note attached that read "Dak and Lucille, I'm sorry that I never told you my profession it was simply too dangerous for my babies to know, seing as you followed my riddle and recieved the key to this guncase proves that you are mature enough to know what I did. I was an...."the rest was scribbled out except "with love from your Dear father. PS: Lucille, Dak can teach you how to shoot this gun you'll need the knowledge for Whats to come." I started crying and Dak Slamed on the breaks because he was about to hit something in the road. He looked back and me and said "Sis are you o-" his question was interupted by a scream whats going on is this what dad spoke of when he said "...for whats to come."? Just then a black creature jumped on the hood and started trying to break it I pulled the Rwvolver from the case and shot a bullet through the creatures head making it fall my eyes were closed I only know this because Dak said "nice shooting sis but next time warn someone before you shoot" he then got out and was digging around the boxes and pulled out a tarp and a black duffle bag. He went to the driver side window and said whatever you hear do not leave this vehicle, that goes for you too Max stay put, Dakota winked at max before throwing the black tarp over the car I hear a series of zipping, clicking and metal tinging then it went silent. Max looked back at me and said its ok he will be right back. Then we sat in silence until gunshots and screams were heard.
