I woke up and found Faith sitting upright in bed playing with her doll. A smile rested on my face as I watched her.

"Good morning." I said softly and she smiled at me.

"Good morning Xelia." Faith said before jumping out of bed.

"Can I go take a shower now?" She asked and I nodded before taking a towel out of the closet for her.

"There you go." I said and she frowned at me.

"You have to turn the shower on for me, I'm too short." She said and I chuckled at my own stupidity before we went into the bathroom. I opened the shower before closing the bathroom door behind me.

I noticed that it was ten o'clock as I passed the watch in the hallway. I went downstairs and found Hunter making fire.

"Good morning." I said and he looked over his shoulder at me.

"Morning." He said before going back to his work. I went into the kitchen before pouring myself a cup of coffee.

I finished my drink before going upstairs. I put some clothes out for Faith when she returned from the bathroom. I grabbed a towel before going into the bathroom and taking a quick shower.

When I returned to our room Faith was gone so I frowned before quickly getting dressed and going downstairs. I heard chatter coming from the living so I went inside.

"Xelia!" Faith yelled when she saw me before hugging me. Hunter silently looked at me before smiling.

"Have a seat." He said softly so I frowned lightly. "Let's talk." He added so I sat down. "How old are you?" He asked blankly.

"Twenty." I said and he nodded slowly.

"What's your favorite color?" He asked and I frowned.

"I don't have a favorite color." I said slowly.

"Genuine question, why do you think you're still alive?" He asked and I frowned at him.

"What?" I asked and he sighed.

"Why do you think you're still alive?" He repeated so I sighed.

"I don't know I just have been fighting for something. For some reason." I said and Hunter nodded slowly.

"About eight years ago I joined the army, I got shot and I wanted to give up. But for some reason I couldn't. Instead of going to war I started training the rookies." He said before smiling.

"It's called purpose." He said and I smiled softly. "Anyway when the outbreak happened I went up the ranks pretty quick." He said before scoffing. "I met a feisty doctor along the way." He said referring to Rosaleigh and I smiled. "Kieran and doc is the only family I know." He added softly.

"Let me know if you want me to train you too, it would be an honor." He said and I smiled at him.

"Sure." I said softly. "I'd like that." I added and he smiled at me. "But I have to warn you though I'm not much of an athlete." I said and he chuckled.

"Doesn't matter, you just need to know how to defend yourself." He said and I nodded. I made some toast for Faith before I started to prepare lunch.

"I'm heading out!" Hunter yelled before the house dawned in silence. Faith hummed a song while playing on the carpet, she had one direction playing and I couldn't help but to sing along.

I heard a knock on the door so I frowned. Is it Hunter? Why would he knock? I looked out of the window but Noah's truck wasn't in the driveway so my heart started pounding faster in my chest.

I ran to Faith before turning the music off. "Go upstairs and lock the bedroom door." I told her and she nodded before running upstairs.

I looked out the back window but there was no sign of Hunter. There came another knock on the door so I went into the kitchen before grabbing a knife and carefully walking to the door. I looked through the keyhole and jumped back as someone was standing in front the door.

I calmed my breathing before biting into my bottom lip.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"Please open the door." The man said and I frowned.

"I asked who's there." I said and there was silence.

"I just want my daughter, okay?" He said and I frowned. He has to be crazy.

"Your daughter?" I asked in confusion.

"Faith, she's my grand daughter." He said and my eyes widened.

"Faith?" I asked in shock.

"Yes, I don't want any trouble." He said blankly and my eyes widened in panic. I know he's not lying, how else would he know her name.

"Please I just came to get my grand daughter. I don't want any trouble." The man repeated and I placed my hand on the doorknob.

What do I do? This shouldn't be my call to make in the first place.
