Why Don't We Run / Werewolves

Ch14

Dark.Pain.Sadness.Everything was over.Everything they believed in,everything they fought for...gone.Sisters broke apart.Brothers fell.Lovers died out.Hope slowly vapored.Friends stopped talking.Everything was quiet in the Giant.Familiar eyes glanced at eachother but no one spoke.It's been two months since the tragedy.Theo is still gone.No one saw him yet.Liam now lives with Isaac.Together they're trying to find them.Theo and the bodies.They disappeared.Valentina hid.Jack is probably the most broken of them all.He can't stop blaming himself for pushing Zach into doing what he was afraid to do.However no matter how broken they were they had to continue what they were doing before.Defend the ones who can't defend themselves.Henry was first.

H-Do you even understand what's happening in the World?To the people?Vampires are the least of our problems right now.We have to deal with wars with terrorism.Seriously we have to start helping.

Jo-Henry what about Richelle.

H-You mean the little bith that needs protection at all time or she'll kill all of us like she killed Zach and...Leah.I mean Leah.They're sisters.

A-Hey don't blame her.

Jonah Henry and Austin argued while walking through the gardens.

H-Who else Austin...who else?

Jo-Yeah who else?It's her fault.She didn't even try to fight back.

A-No they did something to her.

H-You're just defending her because you love her.

A-Maybe I do but same goes for you.In your eyes Leah is an angel.

Jo-No Leah is dangerous.But we all need her.Richelle is strong.She'll do alright.

H-Anyways look at this.

Henry pulled out a world map.

H-Marked places were harmed.In many different ways.And people there can't stand up against it all.

He put the map onto a low wall and sat beside it.

H-In Cairo they do not know what time it is now.The sun on the Rambla today is not the same.In  France there is a concert, people have fun.Next thing you know boom.Everyone's gone. In Nice, the sea is red with fires and shameThere are people on the asphalt and blood in the sewer.Every day we get new death reports of mothers without children, of children without fathers.New reports of iluminated faces without names,without a story...nothinh.Minutes of silence will soon become years of silence.There are too many and we're doing nothing about it.

Austin-Is this because of Leah?

Henry-People of different race,nationality,religion.They kill eachother.We have to separate entrances of the same houses.Billions of people hoping for something and what do we do ?Everyday we see more people with arms without hands...legs without feet lifeless boddies just everywhere and what do we do?

Jo-Henry please calm down

He starts talking quicker on the edge of tears.

H-What should they do?Trade the skin, after all they are human.The skyscrapers, the subways,hotels,homes...they're gone.Down in pieces.bombs,fires,eartquakes,floods and what do we do?I am aware that everything no longer comes backHappiness flew.How a bubble flies away.How people break.We'll all die without help and we can't do anything about it.

A-Henry stop!

Henry tookba deep breathe in before letting a couple tears escape his eyes.

Jo-Bro she's gone.Nothing you do would bring her back.

H-I know but it's not just her.

Jo-Zach?

H-Well partially.I did start to relly like that kid.
