15 Episode 2.5: mission H-7 (1/2)
Night passed by, but the gloomy clouds remained.
But the world was still lightened, as the sunlight pierced through them, bringing warmth across the land.
Almost as if telling everyone that ”if there is a hope there is a way”.
Sadly, not everyone has the will to walk on a hellish path.
Arnold woke upright as the sun started rising on the Eastern horizon.
It was a habit to wake up with the dawn. This habit, he developed while serving in the military.
He saw his daughter cuddled up with sylva, sleeping together.
He laughed as he looked at them without any reason, yawned, and went towards them, step by step.
His actions caused them both to wake up screaming and Stella pointing her gun at his head.
”Calm down, it's just me,” Arnold said lightly.
He was sad by how hard the kids have been traumatized, in merely a week of the Apocalypse.
Stella saw that it was her father, rather than a zombie and put her gun down
She opened her mouth to say, but before she could say anything.
”Grrrrrrrr” her and sylva stomach growled and rumbled demanding food, causing them to blush in shame.
They placed their hands on the stomach, as if telling it to shut it. But it didn't and continued growling for food.
”There was no food left to eat, but their damn stomach keeps on shamelessly growling,” The kids thought in their mind.
This caused Arnold to laugh, which he immediately suppressed by sheer willpower.
”Just wait for a while, soon I will go get food for you,” he said, while rubbing both children's heads.
”But father, there's danger outside”
She was worried because no one knew how and where those zombies could come out from.
They have already searched this warehouse the previous night, but there were no other stuff, except utility products like shampoo hair condition hairdryer etc
”Don't worry about adult matters, And don't worry about me, I love my life more than you guys. After all, I need to live till old and see my precious children get married” Arnold joked to lighten the mood.
His word caused both children to blush two shades harder.
Sylva heard his word and replied in low voice, almost as if a mouse squeaking.
”But I am not...” His voice died down at the end.
”No need to say anymore. From today on, you can just start calling me father” Said Arnold lovingly stroking his children's heads.
”Father!” Sylva replied in a small voice, almost as if a cat meowed and hid in Stella embrace while blushing and feeling happy~.
”You guys play together and pass time, ” He said while going towards the 2nd floor of the warehouse.
