2 YEARS LATER...
Stacking and finding food was hard working. Including hiding from the savages from harvesting you're food stack and weapons in your hideout. It wasn't much but cramped still at least better than outside.

You paused when you heard something outside. You placed your hairbrush down and grabbed a weapon in your hand. As you walked up to the ladder you climbed up and slowly turned the wheel.

You slowly open the hatch which only a crack. As your eyes looked around the dark area of the park their were three dark figures in the distance. You gripped onto your weapon tightly to make your knuckles white. Until they started to chase the person as the two others ran after it. You sighed as you went back down the ladder and closed the hatch. You looked back onto the supply and sorted the items into place. When you noticed something between the piles.

'Drinks, dammit'

You thought as you looked over for you're bag. Finally did and grabbed other necessary items along. You grabbed your weapon and headed towards the ladder. As you opened the hatch you noticed that you've left it unlocked. Shit' again you closed it this time left to any nearest water faucet or anything from homes. It is dangerous to be out in the dark but yet brings you another flashback as you continued to stalk silently towards the faucet.

~Flashback~
You were looking at the stars counting them again.
"(Y/n), are you counting stars again?"
Your father asked as he watched you in the backyard. You have your notebook and other items to connect the stars. You nodded. A chuckle came out from him as he leaned onto the door frame with his arms crossed in this chest.
"Little darling, there are hundreds of them spread out across the skies you'll just count the same one try connecting instead there more interesting"
"I know papa, but I couldn't help it there all so pretty and interesting but divine" you replied.
Deciding what your father said you did anyway as they made patterns onto your notebook. Some all random while others were perfect. When you spoke up. "Hey papa, when's mama gonna come home?" You said he flinched when you said your mother's name. He didn't have the courage to tell you the truth but he didn't want to ruin the moment and your happiness including the powerful bond between the two of you. " soon honey just be patient" he replied as he sat down with you. " we should go inside now darling it's dangerous to be out here all night" he said you agreed to no matter what things he tells you there was no doubt that he was ever wrong.

~End of Flashback~
You were done filling your flask. As you put inside your bag. You went back to the hatch in the park when you heard something but silently you pretend you heard nothing. When the footsteps were far but closing upon you. You frowned "Do you really think I'm that stupid not know you're there?" you said out making them freeze in there place. As you turned your head towards him. He wasn't tall but could knock you out with the stick in his hand. You chuckled at his weapon since you have a pipe you broke off from the sewers since you came here it was busted up but still useful. He quickly swung at you but you were faster. You blocked it as you swung it towards his leg and upper body making him lose balance. He was unconscious. Good. You searched through if there were anything on him. Until you found another useless thing. Bobby pins...great.

Walking back while looking at them you walked past another hatch. As you scan through it you noticed something it was..opened. You put the Bobby pin away and went inside the hatch. As you climbed down a strong scent lingers in it. You covered your nose as the scent was getting stronger every movement. When your eyes caught a glimpse of blood. Fresh still.

You looked away immediately trying to hold back vomit. Sure you knock people out before but this was either an accident or survival. You walked around it looking through the small room that has pretty much a lot of buttons and switches for any different rooms. But one was damaged first the blood and now the rooms busted. Someone is here but left before I came here.

You didn't have the courage to search the other rooms whoever was in here might've done some other things. You had no choice but to search for other things. You got out of the room since it gave you a horrible aura. Seeing blood and drawing smiley faces all over. Until it hit you. You ran to the door and luckily it was open it swung open as you try to follow the way out back the village. As you got into the where the power cell pipes were ascent was in the air. You realize it as soon it hit your nose. Gas and it was leaking.

'Gotta do this fast at least see if it's open'
You thought

As you saw two ways left and right. Walking the other way as you tried to open. Locked..'Great'. Turning back to the other side you were daydreaming about going back to the village finally getting out of here and leaving forever.

Sadly jammed both doors were locked but only one was opened which was the way you came from. You were losing hope but still determined of leaving maybe just not today. You clenched your teeth while turning your hand into a fist and punched the nearest place. As your hand was bruised and bleeding a little. You walked out and closing the door in the process. As you walked back to your hatched wasn't long but yet at least peaceful without any-

"Must be nice having all the food you have don't you?"

A voice cut off your head while turning your head. You saw two men and a woman one was defenseless while the others have weapons. You wanted to run but back to the hatch where they might find you and away inside. Or let them tear you apart and all the things you have been collected for so long to survive from people like them. You were backing away from them slowly until one jumped on you and almost wack you. You didn't have a choice but run maybe past them or far away which more might come possibly.

So you did you ran they were following you trying to catch up to you but yet you didn't hear anything but your footsteps and your breath heavily. You stopped at the nearby abandoned house and hid behind it. You quickly took out your water flask and drank it down. As you sat down to the ground catching your breath water flask still in your hands. As you repeat the process of breathing in and out slowly. As your heartbeat was back to its normal pulse.

You dozed off for a few minutes when taken back and looked around your surroundings. Including if they were looking for you. You peered through the house making sure they didn't saw you. Luckily they were gone. Standing up to go back to the hatch. As you got back opening it in the process while climbing down the ladder as you got down you froze.

'Bloody hell I didn't lock it dammit'

You got your weapon out searching for any trespasser in your hideout. You looked in a different room. Or anything that they could possibly hide. Cleared no one was in here. You sighed softly when your stomach growled.

"Damn I didn't even notice I was hungry"
You said to yourself
As you went to your supplies when some of your foods and other things were missing. Someone is here but how you checked everywhere. Maybe they came here before you did or-

*buzzed*

You heard a noise from the other room. You looked in the other rooms. And found one that was opened. Surprisingly you tried to open it so many attempts but you couldn't. You grasped your pipe in hand which made your right hand worse. But you shrugged it off. While walked slowly towards noise when you saw a tall man in suit roaming through the stuff and reading the notes from the table or floor. You heard him muttered under his breath. While he was about to turn back to immediately swung the pipe against his head making him fall as you screamed a little while crouching down to him. As you moved his glasses to see his face clearly he had a big nose and his hair was brown you guessed he was probably 6 feet or so. Until he opens his eyes again while you hit him again.

"Great how am I gonna get you to bed," you said as you roamed through him which you were able to find you missing foods and stuff but yet again he might need it.

You sucked it up and carried him to your bed. With many attempts and tired from the night you were even close putting him on the bed. Finally, you did with all the attempts and getting him. You were tired from the chase and the midnight roaming around the neighborhood. As you slept in another room with another bunk bed. As you laid down in it you only thing came you your mind before you slept.

'What have I done?'
