Rida's POV
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

8:34 AM

*yawning*

Hah... that was relaxing!

I looked besides me and to my sight, Krieger's bed is empty. "Krieger?" I asked as I scanned the room.

Enid and Neko was there are the table beside me doodling. "Maayong umaga po ate!" Enid greeted me as I stood up. I looked at Enid's drawing and there's a drawing of four figures.

The three were smiling but the other one is sad, each figure had a name pointed towards it.

RIDA, NEKO AND ME, but the other one which had a sad face is named 'MOM' I was shocked as the figure was full of doodles of red.

I asked Enid why she drew mom like that, "Ate, si mama poi to. Pero hindi na ito si mama exactly, siya ay isang stranger na.."

I raised my eye brow and asked what she was talking about...

She explained that those zombies, infected, or monsters are not what they used to be... they're now strangers. That's why she calls them strangers.

I nodded and asked why she thought that mom was even a 'stranger'

Enid said that mom's already bitten, I was confused and asked why.

She said that while the horde was coming towards us, they were separated from me and was forced to follow the other survivors.

They lead each other to their own demise as every turn greeted them with a horde.

My mom was bitten while saving Enid, and later on found me...

Tears began to drip down my cheeks as I hugged Enid "Rida, I'm so sorry" Neko said. I looked at the two and asked "have you seen Krieger anywhere?"

They turned their heads saying no.

Hmmm... I wonder if he's downstairs.

I said thanks and turned back. Sumato is still fast asleep. "heh..." I whispered to myself. I tiptoed towards him and patted his head.

I went outside and the hallway is still the same as usual, I walked along the hallway and looked again at Neko's portrait.

It does resembles Neko

I thought to myself as I pointed towards her face. I looked towards her family members and stopped at her sister. It very much resembles that zombified kid Krieger just killed.

I looked upwards at took a detailed tool at her parents, they looked very rich considering that they're wearing jewelry.

I shook my head and continued on ahead. Before I was about to take a step on the stairs. Someone was calling me from behind.

"Rida! W-wait!" I looked behind me and it was Krieger, fresh from the shower.

The bathroom door was full of steam and he was still wet from showering. I blushed again as I looked at his detailed body
