In the Apocalypse

Philly Feast Part 2

Moonshade did finishing touches on my hair and makeup. Stormy had taken Addy to another trailer to get dressed. 

Moonshade put me in a skin tight, black dress that went to my mid thigh. She had me put on a plain black choker. She gave me black booties that lace up ,they kind of remind me of combat boots but with heels. 

She curled my  brown hair and pinned back one side. She did a dark smokey eye and bold red lipstick for my makeup. 

The hair and outfit are something I would actually do if I was going to a party before the apocalypse. The fact they were asking me to where this during the apocalypse, worries me. 

"You look beautiful." Moonshade told Addy ,walking up to stand by Stormy ,who was waiting for Addy to fully step out of the trailer. 

"I look like a post apocalyptic stripper. Jesus." Addy said stepping out of the trailer. 

"More like bait." Moonshade commented. That made me shift uneasily. 

"Look at you two. Mother will be so pleased." Tobias told us. Then he looked over to the other two girls. "Supper will be ready soon. Set the table. And set a place of honor for our guest next to mother and another down a seat." The girls walked off to do as they were asked. 

"Where are you ,Mack?" Addy whispered even though he couldn't hear her. 

"He'll come for you. Don't worry. Let's see what we can do from our side." I assured Addy. She nodded in agreement. 

We wandered off to snoop around. Addy was being really obvious about it though. At least no one was looking. 

We wandered our way into a tunnel thing with tarps covering the entrance. Once inside, Addy lit her lighter to find a light switch or something. She found it and it was like a red light. We saw knives and saws hanging from the wall and laying out on a table. That's scary. 

We walked further in, examining everything. There was a table with something under a table. That must be what they're eating. 

"Oh, I hope we're not eating dog." Addy commented. 

"There are worse things to be eating than dog." I told her. She pulled back the sheet to reveal what it was. "Like that." I squeaked out. 

It was a human foot. She pulled down the sheet from the other end to see the person's head. He was alive and looking up at us. His mouth was sewed shut.

"Oh, my God." I whispered. 

Addy pulled back a blurry translucent curtain back. There were more bodies hanging there. Addy had to cover her mouth to muffle her screams. 

She turned and ran out of the room. I was frozen ,staring at the bodies in shock. One sentence repeating in my mind. 

Oh, my God. 

I felt arms wrap around me. I started thrashing around and screaming. They just weren't letting go. I hit and kicked trying to get free but they wouldn't budge. 

I felt so weak and helpless. I knew how to defend myself ,quite well usually but right now I couldn't think straight or at all. I could only look at the bodies of the people Tobias and his 'family' had in here. No wonder Cassandra wanted away. 

***

Addy and I got tied to chairs again. Tobias had his 'sons' bring the man we found earlier to where Tobias and them eat. They had him on the table. He was trying to yell but couldn't. Addy was trying to hide her cries. She was obviously horrified by what was happening. 

"I know you two think we're monsters. Inhuman." Tobias said.

"You are. You're basically Wendigos now." I muttered.
