It's been three days since we've been held captive here. Joe and his men grew viscous every single day. I knew deep down I couldn't do anything just yet.

But if Joe lays a finger on Aurei, I'll make sure I castrate him and feed him off to a herd of roamers.

Aurei hugs her knees, looking straight ahead. Then her eyes dart to me...they were full of tiredness and anxiety. But I still remember to be nice to her.

"Hey," I chirp, scooting backwards to sit beside her.

"What's the matter?" She asks, her voice almost dazed.

She couldn't stay in this room for any longer. She'll break. No wonder Bianca lost every bit of humanity in her body. My deepest fear was emptiness, it could happen to anyone.

"Just know I love you." I said, hugging her.

"Love you too sis." She replies, laying on my shoulder.

"I have a plan." I whisper.

Her eyes widen to the size of saucers. She covers her mouth to hide her relieved smile.

"It wouldn't kill you to show emotions Aurei." I said noncholantly.

"I could say the same for you." Aurei shot back, raising a eyebrow.

Ouch.

"I just needed time Aurei...to process the fact that he put your life at risk. And for that, he must pay." I growl, but took a deep breath.

"I understand that...but just think of keeping your humanity...I'm starting to think you're losing it." Aurei confesses, finger combing her black frizzy hair.

"Look. I know I haven't been the best lately. But this isn't something anyone should be taking lightly. But next time, be more open when you're worried, bottling up feelings can destroy you before the dead could." I warn, leaning against her.

"I never thought of that until now." Aurei mumbles, yawning.

The door opens to reveal Adam holding one can of beans. His glare burns into mine. I hate this bastard. But I should be careful about talking to Aurei, they could've been eavesdropping.

"This enough for both of you, luckily Joe was kind enough to put two spoons in it this time." Adam said, before setting it down.

We begun to eat, hopefully I could look for ways to escape as I ask one of Joe's men to escort me to the bathroom. Although it bugged me.

"They treat us like fucking pigs." Aurei said sourly.

Again, I could care less if Aurei swears in front of me. She's smarter than to swear at a unknown man with a gun in his hand.

Aurei finishes the rest of the beans, then she grabs her inhaler that Joe was considerate enough to let her keep.

They about used up our ammo for our stolen guns, they had more than enough food but were greedier than the roamers theirselves.

But most of the time I let Aurei finish off the scraps, she needed more fuel to keep going.

"Sunset. We're gonna have to sleep early in order to be fully awake tomorrow." I suggest, laying back, facing the left side of the mattress.

Aurei faces the right side of the mattress, closing her eyes.

The plan. Tomorrow morning I'm going to ask to be escorted to the bathroom...then I would fight Joe's man for the gun, shoot him by the legs, once Joe and the last of his men come to see, I would put a bullet through their heads. I'm not going to like it but it has to be done in order to escape this hellhole.

-------------------------

I feel like I'm being carried somewhere.
My back felt weightless. Then I feel something soft underneath me.

Immediatley, I open my eyes to see Joe hovering over me. The look of lust in his eyes, he smelled like whiskey and smoke.

I just glare at him, then I notice the bed, the dresser, a picture of him and his wife. I was in his room. My eyes dart left and right, the door was closed, on his bedside table, was a dagger in it's sheath.

He begun to lean forward, puckering his lips. I immediately kick him away, then grimace at him, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"Feisty." Joe mutters, just by looking at his face gave away the fact that he's drunk off his ass.

Joe tries to pin me down, unzipping my jacket as he tries to overpower me. By the second I knew what he's trying to do.

I scoot away from him, laying across the bed, inching towards the bedside table.

No way in hell would I let him do this. I slap Joe across the face, his head snaps to the side.

"Get over here." He growls, trying to pin me down against the bed again, behind me was his sheathed dagger. For a second, I let him think that I gave up, soon as he begun to let me go, I grabbed the dagger and stab him in the chest.

He's lucky that he's nearly so drunk he's numb...but he lets out a blood curdling scream as I dragged the dagger down into his skin.

The blood began to bleed through his shirt, he punches me across the face, I gather my strength, stabbing him into his side, where it probably reached his kidney.

Then I heard Aurei's scream. Before I could finish off Joe, I jump off the bed, that feeling came back again, I started to hear my heartbeat.

Open the door to see Aurei, covering herself as Joe's men try to take off her shirt.

These.sick.fucks.

Aurei turns to see me covered in blood. Juan immediatley puts his hands up.

I turn to the hatchet to my right. I saw red. And I'm not talking about blood. I grab the hatchet, Adam bolted down the hallway.

Aurei stares at me with wide eyes, covering herself, backing away from Juan.

Juan's lips tremble, as I ran towards him weilding my hatchet in the air, he screams as I hack it into his kneecap, the blood began to bleed through his cargo pants, he grabs his leg, screaming like a pathetic child. I whirl the hatchet into his kneecap again, making a sudden crack as Juan uses his good leg to support his weight.

I hack into his other kneecap, hacking into it to the point where it almost came off.

They tried to rape my sister. So they're both going to die.

I grab the back of his collar, to think that Juan was tough, all bones, no muscle. I force him to leap to the kitchen, Bianca was tied to a chair, her wrist was cut deeply, her knife in her hand.

But that wasn't Bianca anymore. She growls, opening her mouth, growling hungrily at me.

But she helplessly opens her mouth and closing it, she died by suicide.

She must've knew she was far gone, so she offed herself to end her own suffering. But now she's a roamer and I have to end this.

I hear the undead banging their fist against the door, Juan shook his head, his lips trembling.

"Please.Please.Please." He begs but I open the door, throwing him out.

The undead can have him.

I notice the gun in front of Bianca, I had to completely end her suffering. Then I had to make sure Adam didn't get away.

I hear Juan's agonizing screams from outside, hearing the roamers eat whatever was left inside him.

I made sure the cylinder was loaded, only two bullets left. I point the gun to her head as she slowly snaps her teeth at me, trying to escape the ropes that had her against the chair.

I pull the trigger, then she stops growling and she laid back.

I hear Aurei's scream again, then I run back into the main room to see Adam pressing my revolver against her temple.

"I-I'll kill her! Juan was just weak anyway!" He stammers.

"Put the gun down." I said flatly.

Joe walks out with his pistol, smiling sadistically at me, then he glares at me.

"Since you took away the life of one of my men, I will take you sister's." He said, pointing the gun at Aurei.

Aurei immediatley ducks as he pulls the trigger, the bullet going straight through Adam's head, the blood spilling all over the floor.

Aurei runs into the kitchen behind me, I slowly back away from Joe, as he saunters close to me. Aurei stares ahead with wide-eyes.

Joe turns to see Bianca, laid back into the chair. His eyes widen, then he grimaces at me, immediatley charging towards me.

Juan's screams became muffled, but Joe grabs me by the collar of my shirt, slamming my body against the cabinets. Pain rushes down my spine as I grit my teeth.

"YOU KILLED MY WIFE!!" He roars feircely.

"That wasn't your wife anymore Joe!" I shout.

"You ain't shit Avery!!! I'll kill you nice and slow...." Joe said, his hands grasping around my neck.

He squeezes me with all his energy, I roll my eyes to the back of my head, as I tried to pry his hands off.

Aurei runs up to Joe, swinging a frying pan across his shoulder, he elbows her in the chest, causing her to crash against the chair.

My eyes dart to the right as I see a large kitchen knife, I stay silent, gasping for air as I grope my fingers towards the knife. My eyes were full of hatred.

Joe scowls at me, his eyes full of complete hatred and rage, I grasp onto the knife and stab into the side of Joe's neck, his pupils got smaller as he sunk down. I stab him again, this time twisting the knife inside his neck, the blood spilling into his face and spilling out of his mouth.

He falls back, Aurei stares at Joe's dead body with wide eyes.

I cough rapidly, droplets of blood spilling onto the counter.

"Aurei, grab your things...we're leaving." I muttered, kneeling down and stabbing Joe's forehead.

"Why-" Aurei begun to ask but I cut her off.

"So he doesn't come back." I muttered.

As a roamer.

A loud noise of glass shattering came from the kitchen door that I threw Juan out of, the loud sound of the undead gave us the warning to hurry up and get out of there.

Their hands begun to grab around, most of the roamers were trying to get their heads inside. Aurei runs towards the main room, throwing on her jacket and grabbing the bags, stuffing them with her personal stuff, including her inhaler.

I open the fridge, grabbing whatver was left and I run towards my bag, stuffing them into the bag, then I grab Joe's dagger, strapping the sheath around my thigh.

Then I grab my ammo, reloading the cylinder to my revolver and handing Aurei the gun she took when we left our house.

I hear the door collaspe, and the moans of the undead, I grab the bag and the keys to Adam and Juan's car.

"Aurei run!" I yell, she grabs her bag then she runs out towards the blue car.

I turn around, taking a deep breath as I pull the trigger and shoot three roamers by the head, then I run out of the house, towards the faded blue car, a roamer turns to face me but I shoot the roamer clear in the head.

Then I hop into the car, using the keys to start the engine. But it slowly died.

"Come on!" I yell, starting the engine again, driving back, running over a roamer.

Aurei buckles her seatbelt, gripping onto the side of the seat. I back up into the road, speeding off, swerving to dodge roamers that were on the street.

Aurei relaxes a bit but she still gripped onto the sides of the seat, as we passed houses and drove past more feilds.

I killed Juan and Joe...I never liked it but I had to do it...for Aurei's sake, Joe was also long gone, no wonder we didn't hear from her two days ago....because she killed herself.

As much as I hate doing it, it had to be done, and as cold as it sounds...I had to accept it.
