Chapter 47 - I remembered. (2/2)

”Don't beat yourself up man, we all make mistakes. I'm gonna need you well-rested for tomorrow. You'd just get bitten in the face if something walks toward you if you're sleepy.” I said.

He looks at the ground but he nodded at me afterwards.

”Can we come with you guys tomorrow?” Nicole and Alicia asked.

”Sure, but you need to stay in the back row, you've only been trained for a day and I don't want misfires happening while we're scouting the place.” I said.

No one asked any questions afterwards and I checked the clock it's 7:51 PM. Still plenty of time to work out. So, I went to the gym with a few others and afterwards I headed to my armory to clean the guns we've used today and to do a routine check-up on everything. I disassembled the guns we've used and I started cleaning inside the barrels and wiping of dirt and carbon residue from using it. Kaley knocked at the door and I taught her how to operate and maintain some of them. Rin and Olivia also followed to watch another movie from my room.

”We're gonna do this every night huh?” I asked.

”We'll you have the best place to do it in so, yeah!” Olivia remarked.

”Wait a few minutes yeah? Kaley and I are still gonna clean a few more handguns.” I said.

The two just looked curiously at the guns and they started on asking us two a few questions about them. We answered everything they threw as they nodded with each answer and explanation. Rin was more interested at my katana on the rack so I let her hold it while Olivia is just curious on how guns work but she said that she's scared on operating them. Zeus just darts his eyes to whoever was speaking and he would occasionally add on the conversation by barking and woofing.

”That's the last of it right?” Kaley asks.

”Yeah, thanks for helping me.” I said.

She places the last Glock in the case and then we positioned ourselves in front of the TV while I played a random movie from my hard drive. We all snuggled in our blankets and the movie started to play. It was a romantic comedy movie with A.Sandler.

We left the opening credits running for a while and then I ran down to make some hot chocolate for everyone with a few soft biscuits so It won't crunch when we bite into it.

It already started for a few minutes right before I got up. Kaley and I just held hands under the blankets as we enjoy the movie. The movie concluded right before we finished the snacks I brought up. Right before I place them down at the kitchen, Oliva said, ”Hey you two, we know what's been going on for a while now…”

”We both decided that we would bunk together and the both of you could be in your room from now on…” Rin added.

Kaley and I just looked at each other though we both blushed and smiled.

”C'mon now, don't make it sound like I'm leaving you, we can stay the same way as it is. He's just in another room… alright?” Kaley said.

”Umm, what we mean is that if we continue to grow larger in numbers, we might need more room for everyone. I already feel kinda guilty that I have a room for myself.” Rin said.

”Who said we're running out of room? Once we cleared the place, we could have houses for everybody.” I said.

”But why are some of them bunking in the same room with like 4 or 7 people?” Rin asked.

”I think that the reason a few families here are bunking in one room is that they feel safer with close proximity with each other. Like when you're watching a horror film with family members, it makes it bearable if you can't before.” I added.

”Umm, Sky, if you don't mind me asking, where is your family? You know... your mom and dad?” Olivia reluctantly asked.

*clench*

”Olivia!” Kaley shouted while Olivia flinches.

”Oh.” My arm throbbed and I think the look on my face scared the three of them. It seems that they can't breathe properly because the air got suddenly heavy. I was just staring at a blank space and not moving.

I remembered.

The scream, the blood, the smile, and the quiet.
