Wasteland

Chapter 4 - It cant be?

Martin and I both drop our jaws. "What is this place?" He almost whispered in awe. We keep driving until we get to an actual two story house with a attic. Dom turns his body around to face me and Martin, "this where you will be living, the both of you. You do have another person living here with you, she should be already here unless she left. If you ever want to go anywhere there's a map of the entire of campus on the living room wall and next to it is a bunch of places you may like to go." Me and Martin pick are bags up and exit the vehicle, and Dom gives Martin two sets of keys and drives off after whispering something in martins ear. I look at Martin in confusion as if to say 'what was that about' and he just smiled and shook his head as to say 'don't worry about it'. Martin gave me my set of keys and he slotted his into the lock and rotated it until a click noise was formed. He descended the handle downwards and pushed the door backwards and took one pace into the building. After that he kept walking and searched round the first floor, "a kitchen? A living room? A downstairs toilet!?" He exclaims as this is definitely a luxury for the two of us. I decide to rush up to the second floor and wander up there, "a bathroom? A bedroom? No 2 bedrooms? And a spare room!?" I exclaimed as it definitely was a luxury to even stand in this place. Martin and I both halt at the bottom of the stairs towards the attic. I step up onto the first step and then a figure came out of the room, their back was turned to us as they said "don't worry about what's up there, that's just my room and another bathroom." They then turned around to reveal their identity, they seemed very familiar? Long brown hair with blonde highlights? Sparkling brown eyes? Faint freckles dotted all around her face? And perfect hour-glass body? I take one more step up to inspect the figure even more, then it his me. My head goes dizzy and my balance fails as I fall backwards about to hit my head on the floor but fortunately Martin has caught me and stood me up right. It can't be... but it is... "Ella?" I ask, with a mixture of shock, confusion and disbelief in my voice. She raises an eyebrow and responds "yes? Wait, we've only just met, how do you know my name?" Martin looks at me and turns me towards him so I face him. "Is this the Ella you were telling me about? Your best friend?" He asks but his voice has a mixture of shock, excitement and confusion. All I do is nod and turn back to look at her, she looks even more confused but also looks depressed now "I don't know who you two are, my best friend is dead. She died from the after effects when she went out to look for her father."  I wanted to scream no she didn't but she would get even more confused, I decided to ease her in to the fact it's me. "Her name was Caitlyn, wasn't it? She had around medium brown hair, blue-green eyes, had a mother, father, step-father, two brothers and a sister?" Her face drastically changed from confusion to shock and horror, "y...yes, but how... unless..." with that she stares intensely into my eyes and after a solid 2 minutes of this she gasps and runs down the stairs, and throws me into a hug. "CAITLYN! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! YOU CUNT!" She screams at me, whilst crying. "HEY, YOU LIL' BUGGAH! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, YA BASTARD!" I scream back, also crying.
