Hey!
Who is this ?
Hey!
Who's calling ? Where am I? ...
Get up already!
It's dark ... Why am I here? ...II was at home just a moment ago. Then someone broke down the door. And they came in ... I did not like them , they had frightening red eyes, ...
Get up for Gods sake kid!
Light .. At last I see . I'm in my room . But something is wrong. All in ruins. Where's Mom and Dad? I just see a girl who is leaning over me . Worried. Because of me ?
- Finally you opened your eyes . We gotta get out of here. - Said the girl . Pair of black curls hanging down , her body covered in blood . - Can you stand up ?
- Y...Yes - Said Felix. The girl helped him on his feet . - Where's Mom and Dad ? - The boy looked around .
- Do not mind them now! We gotta get out of here before more monsters come. - She replied hastily , and grabbed Felix's hands and began to pul himl outwards . The boy obediently followed , while looking around what happened to their apartment .
A piece of furniture littered the ground everywhere . Two bodies lay not far from where he got up those who came before. Now, still staring into space. Reaching the room Felix saw that the living room is like a war zone , the tables overturned , chairs alike. There was not much time to contemplate, as they left very hurriedly. Turning back he saw that his parent's door was also broken and the room in ruins.
- What is your name ? - Asked when she reached the hallway and walked down.
- Felix .
- Nice to meet Felix , I'm Max .
Meanwhile, they has also came downstairs and out into the street. Felix saw a jeep , which had more than one child waiting in silence . Soldiers were seen everywhere . Corpses littered the streets everywhere , the walls of some buildings were also missing , as if something have biten a piece of them.
- Felix , now listen to me, please. - Turned him to face the girl who had , incidentally, also a soldier uniform. - Now sit nicely in the car , it will take you to a place of safety. I have to stay here to help even other kids.
Felix nodded , still in a little coma , not knowing the course of events to process , so he simply followed the prompts. After all, so was he brought up . Boarded the jeep and sat among a few other kids . The car started immediately . When he looked back he saw that Max was still looking at them , then they turned a corner and she disappeared from sight .
He heard the little girl crying next to him in a low voice , but she was crying. Then carefully looked around and saw that all of them had traces of tears on their faces , pain, as if something important has been lost.
Where are Mom and Dad ? - Felix thought to himself, but he could not answer it. Thinking back on Max 's face mirrored the same emotions as these kid's faces , although more hidden. He felt that something very bad happened. The jeep went very quickly , sometimes they almost lifted from the benches.
The sky was dark , sometimes with hues of red blood and a lot of smoke, which rised from various places of the city . On the streets lay so many unrecognizable pieces of flesh .
At last it seemed that they are approaching a great residencies, where the very rich lived . Felix did not understand why they came here , should not we go to the hospital ? When he looked around he saw that , like them, other vehicles aproached the building too , each filled with people , most of them were injured .
When they neared the gate , the vehicle stopped and soldiers helped them down. Accompanied by other soldiers hurried into the building. The place was in complete chaos, people were lying everywhere and other people are running around the corridors, like so many slaughtered chickens which lost it's head .
Felix and the others were ushered into a large room , where they had more children of all ages . Since he could not any better , Felix sat on the floor next to a couple of other kids . He took from his pocket a small metal necklace that was given by her mother when he was 8 years old . Simple metal sheet was sheared into a circle and a shield was engraved on it .
A little later, when he got tired of sitting in one spot , walked to the half-open door and watched as people moved around . He noticed a woman who had long white hair and icy blue eyes behind glasses hidden. She walked down the corridor as if everything were under her control, her body as if it had swallowed a stake , was held straight. But on her face you could see that her heart isnt dead completly yet. Behind her other two , older woman walking who were spoking to her . They were dressed as maids, certainly with a reason.
When they walked past him, he still watched them for a while , and then they disappeared from sight .
