Zombie Apocalypse: Survival

Chapter 47 | Myra

They said that they're now going to do it. But what it is that they are planning to do?

My body jolted a little right after I felt something hot touched my cold trembling hand, and it made my heart beats faster than how it actually is.

Gumawi ang tingin ko sa aking tabi at nakita ang malambot na tingin sa akin ni Faye na humawak sa aking kamay. Umiling ito sa akin habang may nag-aalalang tingin sa kanyang itsura.

“Calm down,” she whispered.

Doon ko lamang napansin na sobra na pala akong nanginginig. Hinawakan ko ang aking kanang kamay habang humihinga nang malalim, pilit pinapakalma ang sarili.

“Take some fresh air first,” I heard Phoenix said. Tumingin ako sa kanila, isa-isa, na siyang ikinatatango nila habang may nag-aalalang ekspresyon habang nakatingin sa akin.

Alam nila kung bakit ako ganito, at iyon ay dahil ako ang kanilang leader at ako ang maglilead sakanila sa ganito.

Simula noong nakasama ko sila ay itinuring ko na silang kagrupo, ngunit sa pangyayari, at noong nalaman kong may mga pinaplano ang mga ito kay Klaus ay tuluyan ko silang inalis sa pag-iisip na sila'y aming kagrupo at pinanatili si Klaus na ngayo'y pinoprotektahan ni Faye at Phoenix— ang duo sa pakikipaglaban kahit noong nasa militar pa lamang kami, at ang subok na subok sa close combat.

I oath to protect Klaus and it means I will be responsible for his lives and safety, just like the people in our group, and my measures right now are much greater than before because I fear something worst happen again.

Muli akong huminga nang malalim.

“Right,” bulong ko sa aking sarili gamit lamang ang mahinang boses.

Calm your shits, Harper. As long as it hasn't happened, you can still prevent it.

“Don't worry, we can do it. You’re not alone, okay?” Faye assured me, trying to ease my worries that helped a little.

I nodded my head and smile at them. Yeah. I am not alone. I don't have to carry the burdens alone, after all, I have them with me.

Tumayo ako at naglakad palapit sa pintuan.

They're in silence as I walked away from this room. At the last glance, I looked at them from this distance.

Faye's already lying on her bed with a pillow covering her face. Beside her are Phoenix and Warren who are quiet and looking at their hands that are on their lap as if in deep thoughts. I sighed heavily and shook my head before opening the door.

Bumungad ang malamig na hangin kahit na hindi naman nakabukas ang pinto sa labas. I closed the door and walked towards the veranda of this second floor for where the rooms are located.

Niyakap ako ng malamig na hangin nang buksan ko ang glass wall noon. Ang aking buhok ay sumayaw sa malamig na simoy ng hangin at ang aking hininga ay nagkaroon ng munting usok dulot ng lamig.

I looked above as I saw that the sky is dark, and the moon was being covered by clouds as if it's about to rain or snow later.

How long has it been when we entered our room and started talking about their plans? I don't know. I looked at the clock above the door and saw how it's slightly frozen, yet it's the hands inside is moving as if it doesn't mind the cold that's surrounding its physical body. And from there, I saw that it's only six.

Winder is coming.

I wonder what it is, the seasons in the Philippines once we reached that county that people are saying that it's safe. Would there be a winter season too?
