Cleopatra: The Zombie Slayer

CHAPTER 20

CHAPTER 20

SURVIVE

FORSETI

"HOW MANY DAYS MORE?" I asked Rhyder as I was doing a thorough inspection on our guns and weapons.

"Uh, may isang linggo at dalawang araw pa bago tayo ma-quarantine." sagot niya habang ngumunguya ng pagkain at prente pang nakataas ang paa sa mesa. I stared at him and although that stare meant nothing, he fixed his position as if I hated it. I didn't like it either.

"One week and two days." pag-uulit ko. It's a long period of time and I don't know if my patience can take it. But this is all we can do. Wait until we get into Eras city.

"Plus, inaabot ng two to three days sa quarantine so, we have two weeks, max." dagdag niya. I sighed heavily after what he said. Two weeks? That's a hell of a long time!

"Two weeks before we meet with Cleo." umiiling kong wika.

"If we find her." sabi ni Rhyder. Tinignan ko siya.

"And if she wants to be found." dagdag niya. I knew he was referring to our last encounter and it prevented me from arguing more.

No one wanted what happened but I know that they still blamed me for why Cleopatra left. I blamed myself the most.

"We will find her." iyon na lang ang tangi kong sinabi.

I've been dying to apologize, to explain and to take back what I've said. Killua has explained to me every detail of what happened. Everything is just a misunderstanding on my part. I thought they were doing something behind my back, what made it worse is that Killua was a part of it again. Pero nagkamali pala ako. Killua was just trying to help her escape and I didn't believe her.

At alam kong mas lumala lamang ang kasalanan ko. When Miranda's name was dragged into the fight, I couldn't think straight. Ayaw ko siyang pag-usapan o ang nararamdaman ko para sa kaniya, ayaw kong magsalita nang tapos. And I've said things I didn't mean. That's my mistake. That's why she left.

"Forseti!" narinig kong may tumawag sa akin at pagkatapos niyon ay pumasok sa loob ng tent si Nami.

"What?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Sage and Killua are fighting again." hinihingal niyang wika. Saglit kaming nagtinginan ni Rhyder bago mabilis na tumayo.

"Wake Tres up." utos ko kay Rhyder. Tumango ito at ginising na si Tres na natutulog sa isang sulok. Sinundan ko si Nami sa labas.

Those crazy bastards. Parang mga bata. They're enjoying their time while there aren't zombies chasing after them. But they're wrong. Isang pader lang ang pagitan ng mga zombies sa amin, and it's not getting any better.

Actually, there isn't a fight between them. In fact, they've been best buddies when it comes to this. They're teaming up together and fighting other people for supplies.

Sa nakalipas na dalawang linggo, ito na ang naging patakaran sa Lucida. If you want supplies and more chances of survival, then you gotta fight for it. And for our group, these two enjoyed gathering the supplies for us.

Ang mga batang kasama namin ay nauna na sa quarantine habang ang grupo nina Zac at ng iba pa ay humiwalay na sa amin.

Hindi ko nagustuhan ang paraan kung paano nila kinukuha ang supplies pero hindi ko rin naman sila pinipigilan. But lately, they've been going in to many fights that they've established a very unfair ration of supplies. The supplies we have are too much for us habang 'yong iba naman ay kinukulangan na. At ang dalawang 'to ay sugod lang nang sugod.
