Chosen Ones | Z.A

[ Chapter 5 ]

After taking a few more turns on the street and a lot escalators, they arrived at their safe room. It was near dinner time so the girls decided to prepare dinner first for the group, while the boys set up the table as they didn't know how to cook.

Lincoln: Can I help in the kitchen?

Sydney: Well sure, but please don't set the kitchen up with fire.

Lara: Yep.

Lynx: Do you guys need anything from the grocer?

Ocean: Nah, we have enough for now.

Emrys: Where's the both of them?

Crystal: Bedroom.

Lincoln: Something is up with them, personal opinion.

Lara: Who knows.

They continue to prepare dinner while chatters could be heard from the kitchen, meanwhile in the group's bedroom sat Knox and Genesis.

Knox: This is so annoying, we were just barely using it, can't be this bad can it?

Genesis: It's been long since we use this bracelet, give it a rest man, the pain will die down eventually.

Knox: I remember using our bracelet to the full extend and not having any problems like this.

Genesis: That was 20 years ago Knox, back then we trained every day in school. That was when... (While touching her bracelet)

Knox: Yea that, but we failed Gen, failed to protect our school and some of our piers. (Sighs)

Genesis: And I lost him, I lost my only blood related family Knox...

Knox: I'm sorry Gen, it's my fault- 

Genesis: No, I told you how many times, it's not because of you. You had to protect your sister. I can still hear him say "I'll be back, don't worry. Love you to the moon, zig zag wigly wag, over the entire universe and back" (smiles sadly)

Knox: That was his last words to you. . . (stares at her)

Genesis: I hope we can still find him, I know he's still here, with me. (While holding his hands)

Knox: Me too. (resting his head on her head)

Genesis: Your head is as heavy as a rock, my neck will break any second.

Knox: Jeez, you're ruining the mood.

Genesis: (laughs)

Knox: I hope we get our-

Ocean: Dinner's ready (Shouting from the kitchen)

Genesis: I know what you're thinking, me too.

Knox: Come on, we need to join the rest.

Everyone gathered at the dining table for dinner, with the help of the girls and Lincoln who thankfully did not set up the kitchen on fire, although he had burn a few part of the food.

All: Thanks for the food.

Genesis: Lincoln, you burned-

Lincoln: Yea yea I know, sorry about that. (Embarrassed)

Genesis: It's fine, I just find it... funny, I'm sorry. (laughs)

Lincoln: Seriously.  

Ocean: You should've have seen the look on his face when he burnt it, it was hilarious. (Chuckles) 

Sydney: I can't- (Laughs) 

Lincoln: Oh gosh, here we go again. (Sighs) 

Dinner was like normal, everyone chatted about the apocalypse and some other random things. It was pouring heavily outside, the night sky had a hue of purple in it. Rumbles of thunder could be heard from far away. As it was still early, they decided to play some games since they were bored and they had nothing else to do. What are the odds, playing truth or dare in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
