We head to the final floor. On this level, there is a cinema, an arcade shop, a gaming store and other shops. " Let's watch a movie" says Lily. We all smile. A movie is just what we need to forgot our problems for a bit. There is a bunch of movies to choose from. " I want to watch I Got Changed Into A Werewolf By My Boyfriend" says Lily. Spencer and I groan. Lily laughs. " Please guys. It's is the sequel to Bite Fangs. The first movie got one billion at the box office. This is my choice" says Lily. " Okay. But we need to keep the volume low so we can hear any trouble. You guys go so long. I will set up the movie" I say. I set everything up and when I enter the cinema, Spencer hands me a bucket of popcorn and some soda. " Let's enjoy today. We will stay here tonight" says Spencer. Relief floods into me. The movie starts playing. As the movie is playing, we make comments about the characters. The protagonist, named Emily is a high school student who is dating a werewolf. She threatens to leave John( the werewolf) if he dosen't change her into a werewolf. Despite it being a typical teen movie, the plot is quite interesting. Spencer says that Emily gets on his nerves. Lily and I agree as well. The movie lasts an hour and an half. " What do you think of the movie guys" asks Lily. " It was good" says Spencer. " It was quite interesting" I say. We decide to get some sleep in a clothes shop. We make it to the parking lot. The car is still there. Thank goodness. There is a form of happiness in the air. We enjoyed ourselves a lot yesterday. I wish that it did not have to end. We have more supplies to last us awhile now. That is another factor to consider. There are empty cars surprisingly. Who came here and didn't leave with their car? There was nobody in the mall that we know so far. I guess I will never know. Spencer takes petrol out of the cars and fills it into our car. The tank is full plus we have more in stock. We start driving again.
Two hours later
It is 9am in the morning. We are soon approaching a small subdistrict town. The place seems deserted but there are signs that show that there is life in this town. There is dogs that are in the backyards of houses, there is cars that have left their lights on. I see an old woman peeking out her window. " Guys I think we should be careful. There are still people in this town. We don't know if they are hostile" I say. " I think we should stay in the car and keep driving" says Lily. I one hundred percent agree with her. Spencer dosen't make any objections so I take that as an agreement. The town is beautiful and amazing. There are plenty of trees and the atmosphere seems peaceful despite the apocalypse setting. The town is not that big. This town is called Wortin. Wortin was a town that was once an industrial area before huge construction changes changed it to a residential area. We are about halfway into the town when someone runs into the street, blocking us from driving. Spencer slams on brakes. Luckily we have our seatbelts on. The man has his arm in a stop right now position. Great more trouble after a good day yesterday. Please don't harm us or steal our supplies I say in my head. The man walks to Spencers window. " Good day wonderers. Sorry for almost causing you to crash. I mean no harm. I should say that the town dosen't mean any harm. My name is Brendan. I am the sheriff of this town. My job still remains the same. I have to look after this town. What brings you this way if I may ask?" " We are going to Parkview Sir" says Lily. Brendan eyes go big. " You guys are following those rumours on the radio? Sorry I should not have said it that way. I am just generally skeptical of people in general. Do you want to stay for the night? We have available housing still" says Brendan. I am also Skeptical. Of people of course. " we have a long way to go sir. We shouldn't really stop. Thanks for the offer" I say. Brendan smiles. " If it is trust you are worried about, I understand. To let you know, I am the only one to have access to a weapon in this town. Everyone stays in their houses as you have surely seen. Plus I have valuable information. Please. I want to hear other survivors' stories. It would help me to protect the town. Please. You can keep my weapon while you are here if that is what it will take for you to trust me" says Brendan. I take his gun and exit the car. " How do we know if the rest of the town dosen't have weapons or tries to steal our car" I ask in an accused tone. " everyone here is mostly young or elderly. The adults don't use guns. Plus I will assign a security force to guard your car. It will be parked in my garage. " I sigh. "Fine. Let's listen. We will take turns ourselves to guard the car. I want to listen to Brendan so I won't guard" I say. Spencer and Lily look at each other. They are not used to me being in control or rude. It must be the whole trapped in the sack incident. It brings back painful memories. " I will take first duty" says Spencer. " Let me lead you to my office," says Brendan. We walk across the street and enter the police department. I expect an ambush but to my surprise, there is no one here. " I let my police force tend to their families. Plus they have another duty" says Brendan. " What is that duty" I ask. "There is a massive farming area not far from here. I ask them to go fetch supplies and to escort the agricultural unit to the farms. We are etarians. We do get the occasional deer or animal that wanders onto the farm. We are self-sufficient. A sudden thought enters my brain. This place is self sufficient. Just like Preview. Why don't we just stay here? Lily looks at me. " Do you mind if I talk to Andrew in private Brendan?" asks Lily. Brendan shakes his head. " Go for it although I am staying inside so I suggest speaking outside." Lily and I go outside. " Did you hear that Andrew? This place is self-sufficient. We don't have to go to Parkview anymore. Let's stay here." I nod. " I also had the same thought. Let's call Spencer. He will want to hear this."
