Chapter 4 - Chapter 3 - Meeting

We both start walking back to the passenger car. She looks over at me and states "Even just staying nearby is probably dangerous, if whatever is out there comes back then we will not stand a chance"

I nod and tell her that "It might take some effort to convince them though, they might think it is safer to just stay here where we have at least some supplies and shelter, after all, if we leave we do not really have any easy locations to go, we are currently in the middle of a giant meadow, who knows how long it might be before we find someplace to rest." And I restrain myself from saying the other problem we both know about, there might be more of them.

We arrive back at the passenger car in a few minutes and I call everyone together for an introduction and meeting, the train is not actually that big and there are only 6 of us in total, the tall man, the doctor, and middle-aged couple with a young child. "lets start with introducing ourselves, I am Klaus and I am skilled in computer and technology"

The doctor introduces herself next "I am Laura, I am a certified Wound Care Specialist"

The middle-aged man introduces him group "I am Cedric and this is my wife Meredith, that little kid over there is my son Luka we do not really have that many specialties but I used to work as an auto-engineer."

The tall man who helped me earlier walks up and says "I am Pierce, I work in construction and am good at carrying heavy loads"

I say that "We need to decide what to do right now, we either need to stay here and wait for help, or try to leave, I will warn all of you that there is some type of huge creature outside that is big enough to bite off half of a train car in one bite, however, while leaving might let it know where we are, it might come back on its own for more food, my vote is on leaving"

Pierce states that "We need to get going, even if there is a monster outside we will need food and resources, who knows how long it will take for anyone to find us, our electronics are still not connecting, but I just checked and the radio seems to be working but it still lacks a channel to connect to with no method of communication we could easily run out of food before anything else"

Cedric nods his head in acceptance but Meredith quickly states "We are not going outside to where any, monster, might be and endangering my son" she glares at her husband and he quickly supports her.

Laura starts arguing with her fiercely "If it is that big then it has to have a huge appetite, and if it gets hungry then we will be the next to get eaten"

"If that's so then that is even more reason not to leave. If it really exists and it sees us we are dead."

"How about we leave and try to get some help, and then we will send assistance to come and get you?" Everybody looks at me. "If we just keep arguing then nothing is going to be done, but if we go out and get help then we can deal with this without all of this arguing."

"As long as I and my family do not have to leave then I am fine with this plan."

Ignoring the messages we quickly departed the train, bringing only a couple days worth of food and a shotgun we found in the second car, the surrounding area was just a big forest, there is not that much forest left but I remember that this train went through a forest for about 20 miles, we could either be right near the edge of the forest, or be many miles away. We decide to follow the train tracks forward and walk for a few minutes, as nobody is talking, I notice how abnormally quiet the forest is, it isn't a rainforest so I am not expecting constant noise, but we have not heard or seen a single animal since we left the train.

Suddenly I hear a roar as loud as an explosion from behind us and a few seconds later I feel a wave of air that knocks us over rushes past. As we all look behind us we all have one terrible thought.

It looks like we won't have to come back.
