A Home in a Lost World

Chapter 3

Owen

"What happened?" I asked Marc containing the panic in my voice. They were in a huge problem as they had pressed the red button, so I couldn't allow myself to become distracted in times like this.

"We were looting the munitions as fast as possible, but some idiots thought of the same thing and came here to the police station too." I hear by the phone Marc sighing, he was trying to calm himself down and not make too much noise. "Anyways, they didn't want to share and tried to incapacitate or kill some of us. We are fine, but they are dead."

"Good, at least no one from our group is hurt. Go on." I released a deep sigh, relieved.

"We discovered a thing about those things out there, Owen." Marc began extremely serious. "When an human dies and the brain doesn't get destroyed... even if they don't get in contact with those creatures... they can and will become one of them too. The time varies from person to person, it seems, but it will happen if you die." He discloses in a dark tone.

I close my eyes to process the information. It's good we have got it so early, but it only complicates the situation. The world is really messed up now. Even if we disseminate all of those things, they will still exist until we find the cause of it and the cure.

"Okay... and what happened then?" I knew there was more, because Marc wouldn't press the red button if they weren't in a deep problem.

"Well, a horde that was passing by heard the sounds because of those dickheads and trapped us here." Marc said angrily, but hold his voice back a little.

Now that's fucked up. I take off my glasses and massage the bridge of my nose, thinking about how we could save them. "Okay, tell Axel that we will form a rescue team and go there to help you. Don't leave or do anything stupid. We are coming for you." I finish the call and sigh again. Not in the mood to be formal anymore with all of this happening.

"What's it?" My old friend Sean asks me as I take a sit on the couch, my head throbbing. I put my elbows on my knees and pass my hands through my hair, worrying about what was going to happen to my family.

"Not only Brandon, Luke, North and Uncle didn't show up yet, Axel and the others are trapped at the police station by an horde of those damn things." I exasperated, tired and worried about the well being of my brothers. Sean and the others that are with me curse or groan at the thought of losing one of our brothers.

After some minutes, we finally hear a random knock code by the door, which gave us relief immediately. Kota goes to open the door with a smile on his face.

Brandon is the first to come in and Sean was already in his doctor mode, checking him for any injuries. North and Luke come next, the brothers safe and sound too. Uncle still didn't appear, but by their faces nothing bad happened, I hope.

However, the next face that appear followed by Uncle and by a huge dog... or a wolf, is a woman with raven hair and brilliant amber eyes. She was beautiful. With a sexy body and a teasing smirk grazing her face, she screamed 'dangerous', but it only drew my attention more, who is she?

I wore back my blank mask after being completely stupefied by her unannounced entrance, but she only makes a small eye contact with me and smirks even more, as if knowing about my brief surprise because of her...

She is dangerous.

The monster besides her began to growl looking at us and we changed to defensive positions. However she just tells him to stop and to don't kill anybody. I'm sure I heard a 'yet' after...

Uncle stopped by her side and introduced the strange woman to us. "Well, boys, let me introduce you to Amelia. Amelia, these are my family."

She looked at Uncle as if he was crazy, but then she just shakes her head and waves at us with a lazy ass smirk. "Hello there." I notice that there's a slight accent in her voice, but I can't tell from were.
