Chereads / Lucifer's Return / Chapter 7 - Rose's Family

Chapter 7 - Rose's Family

While Lucifer was making his way out of the cave, Rose had just arrived at the front gate of her family's estate, which had hundreds of undead around and cracks from all the earthquakes.

"I should hurry up and get inside to make sure they are safe," Rose thinks to herself as she hops over the zombies and the front gate making a dash to the front door and heading inside." 

Now inside the first thing Rose notices is that the house is a mess the earthquakes throw the furniture all over the place, making her way threw the halls the only sound that could be heard was the sound of glass crunching underneath her shoes. 

After checking most of the house the only room that was left was the room they use for emergencies which should have been the room she checked first but there was so much going on in her mind at the moment that she couldn't quite think straight. Arriving in front of the emergency room door she tries to open it but it's locked so instead she knocks on the door and calls out to her family.

"Mom, Dad, it's me Rose are you guys in there" After a few seconds the door can be heard unlocking, and is flung open as a person flies outside the door hugging Rose. 

"Thank god," the person says in a soft voice. Rose looks down to see her mom with her head buried in Rose's chest, after looking at her mom and consoling her for a few minutes she looks up and sees her little sister asleep on the couch but sees no signs of her dad anywhere.

"Mom," Rose says which prompts her mother to look up at Rose "Where is dad" Rose asks in a calm voice but by the look on her face one can tell she is about to break down.

"Rose... I want you to stay calm alright? Can you do that for me?" She asks to which Rose takes a few moments to collect herself before nodding, "When everything started we were on our way home, we had just got to the house and were about to get out of the car when those things attacked us... Your father held them off while I took your sister inside but by the time I got back outside he was nowhere to be seen."

Rose trying her hardest to be calm and not start crying looks at her mom "Mom once she wakes up I'm going to take you guys to someone I know he should be able to help us find Dad if he is still alive" her mom looks at her with a questioning look.

"Who are you talking about?" she asks to which Rose just shakes her head and says "Even if I told you what you want to know you would not believe me until you talk to him yourself just know he is a friend and he is trustworthy alright?" She says with a pleading look on her face.

"Alright if you say so but how are we going to get there? With all those things outside even if we are stronger than humans there are just too many of them we will be overrun before we know it." 

After hearing what her mom says Rose starts to think about it, if it was just her she would have no problems making it back to Lucifer but if she has to protect both her mom and sister it's not going to be easy. "Your right I was not thinking about that... Well, we could just wait here he did say he would come and find me once he finishes collecting what he needs, alright for now we will wait here, and in the meantime, you should collect anything you might need for travel." 

While her mom was preparing for anything they might need while traveling Rose was sitting on the roof of the house looking down at all the undead and wondering what was going to happen to the world now, if everything Lucifer said was true the world is going to become very different in no time at all.

"Well if that's the case I better start getting stronger because something tells me that undead should be the least of my worries."

Sitting in the lotus position Rose starts to silently cultivate.
