Chapter 7 - Stealing (ch-5)

The windows and door had the curtain covering them. The bus behind a abandoned construction site.

The bus was quiet, Esna sat on the front seat which was right behind the driver's seat and just in case they were found by those creatures, the key was still there.

Seto in the backseat with Kallisto sitting one seat infront of him ".. What do we do now." He asked in a low tone, trying not to be too loud because those eerie creatures might find them.

They still needed to call it something, they can't live on calling them 'those creatures'

It has already been two hours since Caesar awkwardly sat next to one of the windows, glancing back and forth to the others. Lavi didn't actually have anything to do so she ended up talking with Caesar and told their names to him.

"I'm not sure, what do you guys say?" Esna rubbed her temples, turning to her other friends. "Do we stay the night here or get things to survive..?"

Not hearing any answer, Kallisto decided to speak "Things to survive as in food or wepons? I will go out and get those things."

"Both, and why're you so excited to go out? There's literally demon looking creatures outside." Vincent grumbled, he said it's better to stay inside for the night and go out tomorrow in the morning instead.

"Who else wants to go out and get things?" Esna asked, she was going to stay in the bus. She'll let Kallisto go out and get things since he volunteered to go but someone else needed to go with him. With no one actually wanting to go, Seto decided to go with Kallisto.

"I'll go with him, the two of us."

Caesar was getting a little more used to being with them, though not talking much, he had a little confidence now. "um... Could I go as well...?"

Most of them turned to look at Caesar, making him take back what he said.

"You should stay back, but if you really need to go you can go with them." Esna sat up, lifting the curtain a little as she looked around and slowly opened the door. "Kallisto, you go to the nearest weapon shop and get all the wepons that's useful. Seto, you can take incharge of bringing the food."

The two nodded, Kallisto was excited to go out, he knew exactly what type of wepons were needed. "Who will be tag along with?" Kallisto asked as he turned his head to Caesar.

"I'll tag along with you..." He rubbed his cheeks with his index finger's tip. Wanting to go with Kallisto since he's going to the wepon store.

"What a choice..." Mel murmured to herself, her voice was audible to the others. Kallisto was just trouble everywhere he went, it will be a headache to go with him.

"Alright, call when you guys are reaching so we can open the door."

The three hopped off the bus as they made their way to their own destination, Kallisto and Caesar to the wepon store while Seto to the supermarket. All three carried a bag and rope with them.

Leaving only the three girls and Vincent in the bus. Lavi had Vincent's jacket over her shoulder while sat near the door as she kept and eye out, Mel on the backseat also keeping an eye out as she lifted the curtain a little. Vincent still sat on the driver seat with his arms crossed under his chest, legs ontop of the seat. "To think we can still call." He scoffed.

"... It might end soon but I'm not sure and surely there are other survivors as well..." Mel made her way towards Esna who was taking out things from her bag. "Who much did you even steal...?" She murmured.

Esna heard what Mel said, she just smiled and shook her head "I've dreamt about it ever since I heard of the word apocalypse, I'm quite prepared..." But, she was still quite unsure with what to do except for the things needed

"Alright, ma'am..."

The three guys quietly made their way to their own destination. They didn't want to be seen by those creatures, they quickly made their way there.

Seto saw the supermarket and told the other two he'll be going there. "I'll get the food, once you guys are done picking the wepons, call." He whispered in a low tone.

"Alright, but if you're done first you can come to us right? The weapon store's right there." Kallisto pointed, he didn't care to lower his voice since there was none of those creatures yet.

"B-be careful..." Caesar mumbled as they got separated from Seto, he followed Kallisto to the wepon storre, wary of his surroundings.

Seto took everything he saw on the self, trying his best to ignore all the dead bodies on the ground, he was sweating bullets with that intense smell of blood... He repeated the word 'Focus' in his mind, every second.

While with Caesar and Kallisto, it was a more easy task, though not exactly for Caesar. The shop owner's lower body was hanging from the torso and was attached because of the spine and some muscles.

Caesar hugged himself, gulping saliva down his throat over and over, he couldn't bare to take a look at the owner's body. A pistol on the ground, it seemed to have used at least 3 bullets.

"This knife looks sharp, put it in the bag." Kallisto handed the knife to Caesar, he handed another one, and another. There was at least seven to ten knifes inside that bag by now. He was going to add another one but Caesar suggested that it'll be enough for them. "Really? Let's look at the real deal now..." he said as he turned to the door behind the shop owner's body, it was where the actual weapons were... the ones outside were only some knifes and fake guns.

"We have to pass... that body...?" Caesar questioned himself, not expecting and answer from Kallisto but he answere with a yes. With all the courage Caesar had, he shut his eyes closed with a small tear in the corner of his eyes and ran past the body. Kallisto casually stepped ontop of the body and entered the door behind the body.

It wasn't very long before they came out of the room with guns tied together with a rope after a while, they saw Seto inside the weapon store, crouching on the corner with the food in the two grocery bag besides him.

Seto looked up from the ground to Kallisto and Caesar who were walking towards him with the wepons. "You guys are done..?"

Caesar nodded, watching Seto's get up from the ground and peeking his head out from the door to check the surroundings. "I-is it clear?" he asked, shuttering at the beginning.

Seto nodded, the surroundings were clear as glass excluding the bloody corpses of the citizens in the corner of almost every building. Seto turned to look at Kallisto but when he realised he wasn't besides Caesar, he got a mini heart attack.

"Oh uh... Kallisto already left..." Caesar scratched the back of his head, he figured Seto was wondering where Kallisto went.

He changed the subject, stepping outside of the wepon store "... Let's get going, we need to hurry." he spoke to Caesar behind him.

He followed Seto, he kept on getting distracted by the bodies surrounding them which made him speed up.
