Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

The sound of the howling mutated animals echoed through the air waking him up from his sleep, it was his make shift alarm to wake up glancing at his sleeping sister who was still resting peacefully he smiled and and gently fixed her sleeping position on the bed

"Good morning sis"he whispered

Rising from the small bed he made his way to the spot where he had stored last night's left overs and with practiced ease he started a small fire to warm them up

Careful not to spill the food he started feeding his sister as she was sleeping on the bed

"Looks another day sis heh?"

Muttering quietly to himself he finished feeding his sister and then after wiping her mouth with care, he started preparing his food and started eating and with a grimace on his face, he still did not like wererabbit meat

Finishing eating he started tidying the place up as put out the small fire and put the wererabbit bones in a sealable plastic bag

He made his way up the stairs, he opened the door as he went out into the hallway

And then he opened the main door and was greeted by the morning light as he stepped outside the apartment building and started scouting the area for any beasts

"Clear"he whispered

As he gripped his machete while walking into the open street

In the early morning he liked to go to the run down shops to find something useful that he could use.

The first shop he entered in was a small shop that looked like it once used to sell electronics, inside the shop was the dusty electronics that looked they hadn't been used.

In these times any salvageable things that seemed to be useful he would take without a second thought.

Inside the small shop Caeul inspected the electronics, he looks liked to build stuff out of old electronics, when his sister was still healthy he used to build some gadgets with her from the stuff his parents used to bring back before they disappeared, his father even called him a little inventor

"Hehe"

With a little laugh as he remembered this he took some electronic components and put them in his pockets

After he was done he left the small shop intending to go back to his spot but then he heard the sound of a rumbling motorcycle in the distance, stopping in his tracks, with no hesitation he hurried back into the small shop to hide

As he hid he could see to jagged looking motorcycles that were ridden by two people each all wearing black leather jackets and were all carrying weapons

These guys were called scavengers and his parents had warned him and his sister that whenever they the sound of a motorcycle they needed to hide.

Watching them pass through Caeul couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief he had heard from his parents that if the scavengers caught you would either die or be sold to slavery.
