I explained everything to Alice, surprisingly she had already packed food and other necessaries.
Sigh. 'I had so many memories in this house it's sad that I have to leave.'
The three of us proceeded to Layla's place, It has the same design as ours but a little smaller and painted yellow in colour.
I walked on the paved floor carrying a wooden sword with Layla and Alice behind me.
Intently glaring at the tall, heavy, varnished wooden door, I twisted the door knob.
It's not locked!
I pushed the door and we stepped inside.
"Mom are you home!"
She called for her again, but only silence answered.
The floor had wooden tiles which had the same design as the doors, on the right side was a huge kitchen with Japanese design.
We walked towards the siting room, our footsteps echoed in the quiet room.
There was a long couch facing the huge flat screen TV with sofas on the sides, the dining room and most of this house interior had the same Japanese style.
Layla's mother is Japanese, that explains most designs of this house, and this cute face on my left, I unconsciously glanced at Layla with a smile.
She just stared back in puzzlement. "What is it?"
"Nothing, was just admiring your adorable face."
A hint of a blush appeared. "I- I'm not adorable."
I held her hands and removed them from her face. "Come on, don't deny it, you are very cute."
"We didn't come here so you can start flirting! The house isn't going to search itself." Alice barked.
"Fine, check the other rooms down here, I will go upstairs."
Room after room but she wasn't here, I hastily came down the stairs.
Alice and Layla were already done searching and they were waiting for me.
"So my mom isn't here." tears dripped down from her face.
I pulled her in my imbrace.
"Don't worry, she's a cunning lady, i'm sure she managed to do something or she probably checked her phone and saw the massages about rescue teams."
she pulled away and glared at me in a soft expression.
"Do you really think so?"
Her voice was so soft I barely heard her.
"No need to worry we will meet her soon. Let's go before Isla bites our heads off."
"Let me take a few of my clothes first." Layla rushed upstairs.
Clinbay was only one kilometre away from this location, In less than a couple of minutes we reached the place.
After parking the cars in front of the fifteen story building everyone got out, but we knew the little faith we had of finding someone here was just false hope.
"All those helicopter we saw heading from this direction where the rescue team. it's not even 2pm but they still left!" Isla complained filled with rage, while darting everywhere.
"All the undead that seemed to have been lurking here are all taken care of, this is definitely the work of the military."
"Who cares about that anyway! we didn't get here in time because Kean wouldn't want to leave her stupid little fucking sister and–"
I curled my fist as I felt my anger rise, before Dexter could finish my fist connected to his jaw with so much force that he stumbled back before falling to the ground.
He spilt a little blood and intently stared with his brows knitted in a frown. "You bastard, I will kill you!"
Dexter got up to his feet and tried to retaliate but Ace immediately came and restrained him, pushing him far away from me.
I just stood there stretching my knuckles.
I want to beat the hell out of him for insulting
my sister. Alice walked to my side and held my hand.
"Don't waste your energy on trash like him."
"Anyways, he got what he deserved for insulating you."
Alice smiled. "I know you always got my back."
"Let me chock that fucking bastard! Let go of me dude!"
Dexter was still struggling trying to pull away from Ace.
"That's enough Dexter! It isn't Kean's fault, we all would have done the same thing, and those rescue teams didn't leave on time anyway, who would have known that they would decide to just leave."
He stopped fighting and Ace released him from his grip.
Dexter straitened his jaw while looking at Ace.
"I would have not done the same thing, I'm not like you all. Hehehe, I don't give a damn about anything or anyone! this whole freaking world turned into a survival game! Soon all of you will meet fates that will make awaken the monster deep inside. When that time comes no one will judge anyone."
Everyone was left in daze by his speech.
He then looked at me frowning. "Survival is not for the parenting, it will get you killed one day boy."
