When they were all inside the house I closed the door Lisa stopped hugging me but was still standing beside me, so I asked her

" where is Fred he should be with you "

when she heard her face who was red a moment ago changed with worries she looked into my eyes and I could guess what happened but not sure.

" he is in his room and he is resting with all that happened to us for coming to his home there were animals from the pet shop next to the college who started to grow bigger rapidly just after we came back from the white room with the ball inside "

when she started to explain what happened to them her body was shivering but she calmed herself and explain all to us, when they came back from the lightroom they took their bags and go to the car of Fred and when they were on the road they saw animals pursuing peoples so when they were almost at the house they came out of the car and was attacked by the cat we just met so Fred protected her with his body and since he got a shield only his left arm is hurt and he is resting in his bed.

When she finishes explaining I asked her if Fred was awake

"is he awake"

- " no he wakes up a moment ago I think you can go talk to him"

" ok I will do this you can talk with others, guys sit down for a minute and we will talk about what to do after"

Edward looked at me and said

" ok but be quick we still have to find a good place to stay and search for other people"

I nodded and go upstairs Fred house wasn't big but it was decent when I arrived in his room, I saw him in his bed.

Fred was not really tall about 1meter65 and has some muscle for working out by lifting weight in his bedroom at home like all guys of his ages even if he was looking like a normal guy just passable but at least acceptable. When I entered his room I saw that his right hand was wrapped with some clothes.

when I came close to him he turned his head and said

" Hey dude this news seem pretty fun don't you think"

he said it to me with a big smile while he was trying to sit at the edge of the bed, I looked at him strangely at first but after I laughed too not that I was crazy but I wasn't expecting too much before but now I can really feel like living my life finally

" It seems despite what happened to you you're still excited by what is happening but what about you parent "

when I talked of his parent his face changed a little but he just replied by saying

"I hope they are safe but all that is happening and my arm who is hurt it don't help '

- "I think you don't have to worry about your arm we have someone in my group who can help you with your arm so it should be fine now, we need to get down and talk with others"

"ok let's go then I feel like I will die by staying in my bed all this time "

when we arrived at the living room I saw Lisa talking with the other girls and Philip and John were beside the windows looking outside while hector and Edward were sitting on the sofa, when they saw us Emily was the first to came close to me and asked.

"So where do we go now since you found your friends we talked with her and she chose not to have help from the system but what about him"

she said pointing Fred, Fred was surprised looked at her, and said

"I chose help from the system Lisa said like that we will see what the difference but until all what I get is access to shop and free stat each level depending on the potential and you guys "

hearing his response Lisa nodded and said

" it's the same for those who chose the system help but I am not sure what else you can gain except from free stat point and some advice but no one received one until now "

claire then stopped them from talking about this

" no need to think about it now we need to find the family of some people but before that, I think we should try to go to some shop or store and take as much food we can before it's too late because I think it will not take too long before other people go there too"

when she said that hector said

" but don't you think it pretty weird that we didn't saw no so many people even if it's just the morning "

Philip who was standing next to the window hearing them came

"I think it's normal because when I normally took my turn in the morning there were not so many people and this town isn't so big too it's just at the outskirts of the center of town so unless they were all in the same place they are rather in their house waiting for what is happening or they wait for aid from the government but since we didn't any announce since it's started we should not wait too much from them "

don't know what he has against the government even if I don't like them very much too so I looked at the other and said

" ok guys prepare yourself we need to do to the center of town before night don't want to stay outside with all those monsters"

when I finished talking I finally remarked that I was leading this group but I wasn't feeling shy, but if I remember I am not good at talking with too many people around me just after that a screen appeared in front of me.

Congratulations you have found a Special path [ leader - 1%], learn what you really want and the road your heart show you

I was surprised by this but tried to look strange and acted like if I was just looking at my status not that I am paranoiac but in all novels or movies I read and saw I learned to always be aware at least until I found it it's true or not, I will not reveal too much about me to them.

Lisa who saw me looking in the air was worried so she came next to me grab my left arm and asked

" are you ok what happened "

I looked at her she seemed more different from before even if before she liked staying close to me she didn't show what she was thinking but now I can easily saw what she think at least unless I am overthinking so I was ok with this since I got a perk of all of this her boobs was wrapping my arm so I liked that very bu didn't show it on my face.

Edward seeing Lisa acting seemed jealous, he gets up from the sofa and said

" We should go now "

I nodded and asked Sarah to heal Fred left arm and we left the house in the same arrangement as before but this time Claire and Alex were just beside us but still a little in the back they said they want to familiarize themself with fighting animals so we didn't say something and just told them to be careful Lisa was with hector and Philip in the back she has a shield in her right arm and long sword in the right one, and Fred has just a hammer just like Alex.

it took us thirty minutes before we finally saw the city but what we saw was even worse than what we imagined there was corpse everywhere the view of the city was really awful from afar we can see building burning and some car who surely crashed into each other, when everyone was summoned in the white room otherwise I can't imagine how much people would have died.

when we started advancing in the city we took the road to go to the business district where there are food and all the other necessities we need it didn't take long before we saw a small shop next to the gas station, don't even know there a gas station here because even if I lived in this town since I was a child I don't go out too much so all I remember was when I was in the orphan it didn't have friends even kids so I always stayed alone it's not too long that I tried to talk to others, I tried to stay focused it will be soon night and we need to hurry up when we entered the shop the inside was a complete mess food was on the floor with some blood but no corpse so maybe the people who were attacked survived.

Edward who was in front looked around then waved his hand and me, john and the girls followed just behind them while the others behind stayed next to the windows surveying outside I then heard Edward.

" hurry up guys take your bag and fill it as mean food and water you can like that at least we should be fine for some time and it will be easier to find our families"

after taking all that we can we didn't go too far and searched for an apartment open or house we can all stay in before the night come. we found a house a little further inside the town but at least it was safer and strangely we didn't get attacked but I was still able to feel a bad feeling if we go further inside the town but I decided not to tell others about it will only stress them more.

When we entered the house we looked if it was safe when all was done we regrouped in the living and Sarah talk about something I wasn't thinking too much since we entered

" So where are we going to sleep since their only 3 room, and that someone needs to stay awake to prevent something to happen when we are sleeping "

John who was watching seemed completely exhausted and said

" I am exhausted so we should just make the turn of two people watching until morning for everyone like this we can all sleep, and the girls will be in one room the guys too not like if something is happening between us with all what is happening since this morning "

hector agreed too

" yeah I am ok with this even if Sarah already completely healed my should the stress of today was too much need to take a good sleep and we will talk about what to do after taking a good rest and then search our families "

when they all agreed I decided to take the first turn I wasn't exhausted just that my head needed a calm place to understand what is happening and what we need to do for the future, and Sarah normally should have to guard with me but Lisa asked her to change with her.

I wasn't surprised by what she does, she wanted surely to talk about why she acted so differently today she came next to me and landed her head on my shoulder, and said

" So how are you feeling after all that is happening"

I was taken aback not knowing what to say to her because even I didn't know I can feel that something changed about me but it was rather good than bad so I looked at her and said

"I am not sure how I feel now but at least compared to before all of this happen I am better now even if I can die at any time"

she giggled at my answer and said

" it's true than compared to before you seem to act more naturally before you seemed to think deeply before answering or talking to someone like if you were forcing yourself to talk but now I don't feel the same feeling just that you just say what you think "

when she finished saying that she turned her head in my direction and said

" So for how long you will keep making me wait, not that I care if you do but I need to know because I will not wait eternally for your answer just that you know when we were attacked by this cat I understood that we wasted so much time and when I tried to approach you always rejected me so why did you do that "

her arm which was standing on her lap was now, were now around my arm and tightened the more I take time to talk, I sighed and said

" it's not that I rejected you because first when I tried to talk to you the first time you were on your book or talking with Fred friend but never talked to me more than some word then ignored me and after I understood why you were you know yourself 'tsundere' "

when I said those last words she bit her lower lips and looked at me angrily

" !!don't call me like that and besides you asked you to be so dumb before, anyway so what are we going to do now keep the same way we were before or .... "

before she could say more I kissed her and she widened her eyes then pulled back, her face became red then she cursed me

" what is happening in your head are you crazy by doing that, I think this apocalypse changed you too much "

but after seeing that she came close to me and kissed me too but this time on her own our tang entangled each other as I started to let my hand roam on her curve then to her boobs but she pulled back before I could test them completely making me look at her thinking I was too fast.

"I think we should just wait and see what will happen "

all this time I just looked at her no understanding where did come to her confidence, and mine too I was like in the clouds my mind thinking of all and nothing at the same time, but I quickly came down to the fact that it wasn't anymore the old world, not that I missed it ! , I could feel my body heating up at the idea of fighting as I clenched my fist diving in my thought as I looked at the moon enlightened the surrounding buildings as howls of beasts could be heard from afar.

we then hugged each other and she seated on my lap her head titled back on my shoulder when we calmed I started to remember why I liked her before, when I am with her I can talk as I want no need to put a face and since all this shit happened I didn't have someone to talk now I could feel like a weight falling from my shoulder I wanted to sleep but remembered it's our turn to watch so I just let her sleep in my arm and it seemed like she was exhausted too as she quickly started to fall asleep.
