Gloaming

Now what?

Kenya's point of view
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The pop made my entire body jump.
After the pop came silence.
And after the silence footsteps.
They came closer, and closer.
When they were almost here I looked up at Cynthia.
She was frozen.
I look back at the door.
The footsteps were right outside the room.
It's now or never.
I get up as quick as possible and lock the door.
Then I hear a loud pop accompanied by a sharp pain in my stomach.

This person shot through a door.

I might die today.

I can see tears running down Cynthia's face but somehow she's in the same position, frozen. I grab my stomach and begin to fall to my knees.

The next thing I see is Cynthia with her hands up.

And Lucas with a bag of supplies and a heater.

What is happening?

———————————————
I open my eyes to see Cynthia crying in the corner of the bathroom. I'm in a bath tub filled with blankets.

I see Janet hovering over my body... she's preforming surgery.

Thank god Janet is a certified doctor.

If not I might of died.

After looking down to see blood all over my stomach I pass out again.

Honestly... who wouldn't.
———————————————
I open my eyes again to see no one. I'm on my air mattress.

I try to get up, but the pain is just to sharp.

"CYNTHIA"
I yell.

"Kenya?" Says Cynthia with a concerned tone. She looks down at me from her bed.

"I'm hungry" I say.

"I know" she reply's back "me too"

"So why not eat?" I ask.

"He took all of our food" she says.

"What now?" I say.

She gets up and walks to her closet.
She pulls out a shotgun. As she cocks the gun she says "I guess we have to get it back."
