I slowly stand up in caution of making a noise.  Rayne mumbles in his sleep.   Its kinda cute actually, I look back at the door and whimper in nervousness.  I see Rayne's rifle on the floor.  I pick it up and make sure it is loaded.  this is heavy. I wonder how he carries it.

 I aimed it and walked up to the door,  I said "Hey! Who's there?!" bad idea.  The door busts down and a figure runs through the door. I hear a gunshot behind me and look,  Rayne is holding a pistol and he was aiming it at the door.  He killed the thing,  He says two words. "your lucky."  

He turns over on his side and looks at me while his eyelids flutter and he falls asleep.  I go to the kitchen and look at all the canned food.  non-perishables?,  I think to myself.  then I look at the lid and it says in big letters N.O.N-P.E.R.I.S.H.A.B.L.E,  two years of non perishable food sitting right here in front of me. how much did Rayne take?  

I look down at his bag and wonder if he would mind if I open it and see.  I bend down and open his bag to find loads of ammunition, a gun cleaning kit,  20 litres of water, and 6 months worth of non perishable food.  I hear scurrying in the attic but i think nothing of it until I see blood dripping onto the floor.

 I look up and there is my mother hanging upside down,  her neck 180 degrees around facing me, blood dripping from her mouth and throat, and her veins are completely black as they are showing through the skin.  I say "im sorry mom." she jumps with life as if nothing ever happened.
