Chapter 29 - The Huge Pillow - Bet? (1/2)
*smack* *punch* *flaming fist* *slap* *kick* *smack* *hadouken* *elbow*
A rain of punches and kicks suddenly assaulted my body.
”You f.u.c.k.i.n.g son of a bitch! How sick are you in the head kid? Doing a joke like that?! Have another kick!” Oscar exclaimed.
The group continued to lynch me and they now lifted me up and threw me to the pool.
”Wait! Wait! Wait!” I shouted.
*whoosh*
*SPLASH*
”Ack- blrggrrh” I went back first and immediately sunk at the bottom. The pool sloshed around as I swam to the other side. I lifted my body upwards the poolside and the water drips from my clothes. I'm soaking wet as they made a hearty laugh.
”What did he do?” Jenny asked.
Most of my people shook their heads but Allan answered, ”They called him yesterday and he pretended to be dead, he snarled and growled in the radio.”
”That's messed up.” Jenny said.
”I agree.” Allan replied.
”Hey Sky, better apologize to Kaley. She's pretty shaken from what you did, she stood watch all night yesterday. She's sleeping at her room now.” Oscar said.
”All night? I did too at the store yesterday. I'll let her sleep some more first, I need to sleep too.” I said. My body feels heavy now and I really need to have some rest. My shoulders are aching and my eyelids are starting to fall.
I bid my goodbye to the group and I headed to my room. I also brought the box I took from the store, I let Rin handle where Allan and the rest could stay in.
I opened the door to my room and I was greeted by its darkness. I removed my shoe, vest and the rest of my clothes since it's soaking wet then I let them occupy a small corner at the floor for now while the box I brought is placed inside my dresser. Sleep is all in my mind right now. I slowly crawled to my bed and hugged the huge pillow beside me though I never remembered having it placed there. It's warm, soft, and it smells really good. I hugged it even tighter as I buried my face in it.
I can't even tell how quick I fell asleep as soon as my body felt the touch of my own bed. I can't even tell how long I slept for.
I woke up feeling refreshed while I made a few stretches and I made a few of my bones crack when I pushed against the folds of my knuckles and feet. I twisted my neck for it to crack then I looked for my watch on the floor and it says 2:36 PM. I tidied up my bed but I just found the three pillows I stacked together for my head. I can't seem to find the other one that felt supple.
”Maybe it was this one?” I examined one of my pillows on the stack but I shook my head.
”Maybe I'm just really tired.” I said to myself. I nodded at the thought then I walked downstairs after equipping my weapons and knocking at Kaley's room.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
”Kaley?” I called.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
”Kaley?” I called again.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
”Kaley?” I tried calling for her again.
No answer.
”She must be outside or something.” I said to myself.
I went outside and Zeus greeted me, he walks beside me as I head to the back in the pool area. I saw a few of them just chilling and I saw Allan talking with Ken. They were trading stories and I approached them.
”Hey Sky! Got some sleep? The others are still building the fence outside and Oscar led the scouting party though he brought more people.” Ken said.
I nodded then I gave a yawn.
”Your aunt told us to rest for a bit more first and the others are still sleeping.” Allan said.
”F.u.c.k! Sky! I forgot to tell you, we opened the back of Tiny and it's loaded with two shotguns and a couple rounds of ammunition.” Allan exclaimed.
My eyebrows shot up.
”Oscar was so happy and he said you wouldn't want those so he stored them in his armory. He called them SPAS-12s or something. The extra slugs are placed on the straps, it looked really cool.” Ken said.
We started talking about other stuff and I saw Rin and Olivia walk by. They saw me see them but they almost moonwalked away from the vicinity. They quickly back-pedaled and avoided my line of sight.
”What's with those two?” I said.
The two looked at each other then they both shrugged.
