Chapter 25: The Mysterious Sibling Pair: Part 2 (1/2)
'What I should cook today?' Aurora wondered as she looked at the ingridients.
With the amount they had, she should be able to create 7 more sets of food which could last up to two weeks if they saved up and ate reasonably.
But there was no telling when the power would cut and the fridge would turn useless. In that case she knew her ability would come in handy.
”My ability...” She muttered as she raised her hand.
A sphere of ice manifested just inches above it after doing so.
The sphere floated above, remaining in position no matter how exagerate of a movement she made. This was her ability, Ice.
She picked up the knife, chopping up the ingredients whilst the gas stove heated up the pans which were sprinkled with onions.
Her legs still trembled slightly with every movement but she did her best to ignore it.
”Damn Gray... Didn't you know how to take it easier on someone's first time...?” She asked with narrowed eyes as she chopped up the carrots.
*RIIIIING* *RIIIIING* *RIIIING*
Suddenly, a loud alarm, originating from the other room resounded across the hall and throughout the building. It was so loud that even Aurora could tell that it spelled bad news.
Not wasting any time, she quickly began to prepare. Letting go of the knife as she rushed to their rooms, placing everything they would need into their hiking bags.
All this noise concentrated on one spot. Last time Gray was filled with blood when he descended, she could only imagine how many zombies would climb up the floors after this.
But the problem wasn't solely the zombies inside, it was also the zombies outside. Although it would be unlikely, what if there was a zombie which could blow the building away? Like one of the abnormals which Gray had mentioned.
Either way without thinking much, she gathered the things.
Suddenly-
The door slammed up, Aurora, reflexively reacted and launched a shard of ice at whatever was there. However, she seemed to freeze it mid-air after seeing how it was only a pair of children.
”G-Gray told us to come here!” He spoke, desperately, forcing even more air out of his dried out lungs.
Upon hearing this, she understood.
”Help me get things ready, put your sister on top of the couch and gather anything you'd find useful to place in the hiking bag.” Said Aurora, as she glanced at him before continuing.
The young boy nodded and did exactly as he was told, making sure anything they could need based on his understanding went straight into the back.

In an instant, a horde of zombies suddenly crashed into a two by two, paused air rectangle which Gray had formed.
There hands could be seen struggling to fit through the gaps around the rectangle, doing everything they could to grab Gray. However no matter how much they struggled he was unreachable.
The sounds of groans filled the floor as Gray counted down, it was this key moment which would change everything, his focus needed to be unparelled. One mistake and he'd die.
He grabbed his kitchen knife and counted down with the timer whilst looking the zombies straight in the eye as he stood ahead of the staircase which was going up.
There pupils were all a dilated white.
3... 2... 1..
[Unpause]
Simultaneously as the notification rang inside his ear, Gray swung his knife horizontally, just about at their waist, instantly pausing the slash as he did so.
[You have slain a zombie- You have- You have slain a zombie!]
