Chapter 4
New faces
"Flora?"Questioned Gunner.
It took a moment for Flora to actually realise who this broken man placed in bed was. But, It finally took a hold of her and Flora could do nothing but jump right to him.
"Oh my God!" Shouted Flora in astonishment. You made it Gunner! You actually made it! I knew you could do it, I just knew it!
"It seemed that Flora was still able to believe in the people most dear to her. That's the main character of Flora.
"Of course, I made it!" Said Gunner while in the process of laughing. I know it's been a while since the world turned into shit but you should still be able to know my character!
Of course, Gunner was referring to the case that, he has always been a rather cruel man. If someone or something were to cross his path, just to end it, he wouldn't take that humanly.
"What character?" Wondered Flora. I mean, I've always seen your character a caring, loving man.
"OK." Responded Gunner to this statement. You've crossed the line, let go.
Gunner was taking this as a light joke until Flora continuously held onto Gunner.
Flora, seriously, you're about to make me throw up my insides with your excuse of a hug.
The black woman behind both Gunner and Flora turned her back with a pitiful tone.
"What's wrong with you?" Asked Gunner curiously, slowly losing his patience with this frustration of a woman. Have you got a problem with two close friends reuniting? If you do, try walking out the door. Unless your just down because you haven't got anything left.
Flora could tell that this was going to turn into a competition of who could play the most insecure one to talk.
"To be honest, I don't need to take shit from you!" Shouted the argumental woman. My boyfriend is in the other room, as well as the others. Besides, I'm the one who got everyone to this hospital! Especially you!. So, rethink what you said you. Actually by the looks of you, if you were twice as smart, you would be stupid.
Gunner had a disturbing, yet positive feeling that he wanted to grab this woman and throw her into a pit full of walkers.
"Guys, just stop!" Said Flora while crashing in. Remember, we have man-eating freaks out there who would hunt you down even with a solid smack on the head. They get attracted really easily, so stop shouting at each over like children.
Gunner and the woman felt stupid for a second, remembering that they are not the only humans living within this hospital. They all took the consideration to greet Gunner to everyone else. It seemed like the right thing to do now Gunner will be staying now.
Before Flora left, she turned to the black woman and told her...
"If you have the feeling that you're not going to get along, just don't say anything Tav."
Tav stood for Tavina in full.
Flora heard a door opening a few feet away,telling her that Gunner had already entered the waiting room. The waiting room is in the centre of the hospital.
All three characters have made it into the waiting room, which was a very dull waiting room. There were a couple of unfamiliar faces to Gunner that were sitting on an unstable-looking long length table. There was some black guy with huge bushy hair, which he predicted to be the boyfriend of Tav, a blonde girl with red lipstick, mainly wearing black and a red skirt lastly with beautiful shining blue eyes, and there was a 9-year-old looking boy with curly black hair and brown eyes.
"Why is there a kid here?" Gunner wondered.
Knowone answered Gunner since the question seemed rhetorical. It wasn't.
The whole room was mysteriously quiet, so Flora took the courage to centre everyone and tells everyone that Tav brought in a new survivor.
"Okay everyone, we have a new survivor with us known as-"
"Gunner," said Gunner interrupting Flora.
"Gunner,?" Said the black guy looking as if he was going to insult Gunner. That's a cool name, I had an old friend with that name.
Already in a straight forward surprise, this man had already made a great first impression to Gunner.
My name is Emiel.
Gunner looked please to meet Emiel. But it was time Gunner knew the others names. He looked over to the blond woman.
"Oh," said the blond woman clearing her throat. My name is-
"Alva," said the 9-year-old boy interrupting her.
"I'm capable of speaking for myself Theo!"
There we had it since the boys name has now been shouted out, we seem to finally know everyone.
"Well Gunner," said Flora. I think it's about time I took you to your new room.
"Could you just tell me the number so I can just take myself there?" Questioned Gunner really hoping for a yes. I want to be alone for now.
"Yes, of course," said Flora. Oh, don't forget to take these.
Flora handed over a packet of those walker delaying pills and a key for his room.
