Pitch Black(Discontinued)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Time has passed and we were both there inside our rooms, no strenght to go out, no strength to check out the tv if the news is back. The moment we saw the boy die infront of our eyes never left out of our minds. Im currently laying down on my bed, I have no idea how long I have been here all I know that I was hungry but I don’t seem to have the energy to get out of bed. I also havent slept for awhile, I just layed there, with the only thing in my mind is the face of the boy when he stabbed the knife into his head. What really scared me the most is that we don’t have any idea what caused him to that.

The knock from the door of my bedroom, braught me back to reality. I slowly sat down, torn betwen opening the door or not minding it but after thinking for awhile,I decided to open my door, expecting to see Devian’s face. He stood there, like a lifeless zombie, there were bags on his eyes and he seems to become thinner. I opened my mouth wanting to ask what he wants.

“Leslie, I know its been awhile we have been coped up to oursleves. I know that... that boys death traumatized you but so am I. I blamed myself for not helping that person. But we need to move on, alot of things will happen in this apocalypse. We don’t have to be like this everytime we see something new or traumatizing before our eyes alot has changed in our world the sun is not going to come back, and the only thing we can do right now is to stick together and help each other.” He said, breathing between the lines. What he said made me think, he was right this is a new world its not the same anymore. We don’t even know if our parents is still alive.

“You’re right Dev,”I finally said, looking down while playing with my fingers. “Maybe it is the time to do something.” Devian only smiled, which is a rare sight to see. I smiled back.

“Ok, so… we have no idea what really is happening right now, the news is down, there is even no internet connection anymore to even check it online.” I started, walking out of my room, Devian following behind. Walking to the living room.

“You know Lez, we haven’t called our parents.” He muttered. Ofcourse how stupid can I be? Why havent I thought about that before? I thought to myself. “Ofcourse, why havent we thought about that before.” I muttered, getting my phone from my pocket, dialing my dads number.

“its ringing.” I said looking at Devian. I waited till the ringing stopped, but rather than my dad answering, it went straight to voicemail. I sighed, Devian tried his parents but just like mine, no one answered. It was wierd for normally they would answer, the moment they will see our names appear on their phones. I sighed once gain, sitting down the sofa, Devian also sat down beside me.

I curled on the sofa, my mind kept on thinking about negative things. I was getting paranoid.

“I don’t know what are we going to do Dev, we are just two teenagers.” I muttered, hidding my face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leslie was getting paranoid once again, its been a stressful day for us, we have been trapped inside of Leslie’s house for - I don’t know how long-. We havent went outside to even check what we might find out. too scared to go out. We sat there on the living room still thinking of what to do, I sighed deciding to check out the time even though its useless. The time said its already 8:50am, I stood up, walking to the window, hoping to see light But just as I expected it was still dark outside. As I stood there I cant help but remember the boy once again. His bloody face, his contented smile kept on running in my mind. I closed my eyes. I want to know the reason why he killed hiself, why it seems that he is suffering from something before that happend. I let out another sigh, looking back at Leslie who seems to have an inner monologue. Nothing out of the ordinary happened after the boy died, the neighbors are still not active after that sudden blackout. I sat down beside Leslie.

“You know Lez, maybe its time for us to go outside to find out whats happening that is beyond your house.” I muttered, Leslie loked at me.

“I don’t know, im still not brave enough to go out, we still don’t know what is lurking outside. You do remember what the news said right?”I nodded. “ We don’t if its safe.”

“But, if we stay here for long we also don’t know what is going to happen to us, our supplies is not infinite, we will still need to go out.” I reasoned. “ We might aswell go out know, what happens outside, so we know what to do we need experience. Just like you sai we don’t if its safe outside, but we also don’t know if we will safe here.” I added, Leslie looked at me, she seems that she doesnt know what to say. I know I was right, But that doesnt mean its completely right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leslie, sighed contemplating what to say to her friend, she knows that Devian has a point, but she was still scared of going out especially after witnessing the death of that boy. He came from the outside so that means the reason he did that to himself must has something to do outside. (Or he has just a mental illness Leslie doesnt know). Leslie didn’t know what to do, normally she would know what to do,, Always has a plan, always having a backup plan to everything.

Devian sat there still waiting for Leslie’s reaction. He wants to go out, He wants to look for his parents and he knows that Leslie also wants to know her parents location. Them not answering their phone  was highly unusual. Leslie’s parents would answer her even though they are in a middle of an importan meeting, that also applies to his parents. After what seems to a be long time Leslie finally has an answer.

“Devian…I know that you want to know where our parents to know if they are alright.” Leslie started, looking directly to Devian’s eye. “I-I really want to, but please just promise me that, you wont leave me alone….. whatever happens.” Devian was speech less first, he was relieved that Leslie accepted his proposal, but he was also sad that his friend is this scared. He knows that Leslie is an easily scared person, but knowing that she’s scared enough to not trust him, worried Devian.

But he made up his mind telling Leslie that he promises that he wont leave her. After their talk the two bestfriend decided to get ready for their journey outside of their safe haven. Leslie decided to bring her small bag that can only fit a few things, She knows that its it doesnt have enough space but she also knows that carrying a larger bag would just slow them down. On the other had Devian braught a larger bag that he thing the supplies that they needed, along with it is a smaller bag that has flashlight and extra batteries. After checking his things one last time, he decided that its time to go outside.

Leslie and Devian stood infront of the front door, letting out deepbreaths. They glanced at each other before nodding. Devian slowly opened the door while Leslie turned the flashlight on illluminating the way. Soon the door is now completely opened. Devian is the first to go out, and Leslie followed. EAch of them carried a flashlight. The outside was frightening now, the silence was deafening and scary, and having the disadvantage of not seeing anything was unerving. Not knowing what willcome out of the darkness.

“Leslie, should we go by car?” Devian’s voice appeared to be loader than ever because of the complete silence of the place. Leslie only nodded still gripping the flashlight lightly and holding on the sleeve of Devians shirt equally tightly. The two of them walked rather fast, not taking any chances of saying longer in the dark. AS they arrive next to Devians car, Devian quicly fetch his car keys from his pockets, pointing it to the car and clicking the unlock button. Leslie quickly went to open one of the doors, but it was still locked. She looked at Devian confused why its still not open. Devian also seemed to confused. He tried it again ang again but the car was still locked.

“It looks like we have no choice but to walk” Devian muttered.
