Little after the Barricade was set up, Jenika's dad, Lev came flying through the front door, making her jump out of her seat, he was splattered with red and he was carrying guns. He ran towards the hall cupboard pulling out two duffle bags, chucking one at her ordering her to pack essentials and make it quick. She was extremely confused but she didn't argue, she just picked up the duffle bag at her feet and ran to her room, attempting not to wake Nikolai as she packed, the thoughts of why her dad had guns and why he was splattered with blood, clouding her mind. Was he injured? Was someone else injured? Did he kill someone? She gulped zipping up the duffle bag, he was her dad, she trusted him, and he wasn't a murder. There had to be another reason for the blood.

"Jenika you finished?" He questioned appearing in her door way clean clothes on and his duffle bag over his shoulder the guns in the waistband of his trousers. Jenika nodded watching him race in and grab the bag. "Come" He motioned making for the front door, Jenika carefully picked up Nikolai and followed, the millions of questions she wanted to ask crowded her brain but nothing left her lips as he pulled open the front door not giving the soldiers or the barricade a look as he stepped out grabbing her free wrist and pulling her with him. They didn't lock the door they left it wide open. The unease and fear that settled in her stomach tightened, it was like he didn't plan on coming back.
"Dad what's going on?" She finally asked as they raced through the streets, silence echoed for what felt like eternity then he finally answered, leaving her wide eyed, fear filled and even more confused.
"Extermination"

"Where are they?" Alexei questioned pacing up and down. Irvan shrugged focusing his own attention on trying to blow circles with his cigarette smoke, sitting on someone's car. Their father had called them told them to pack up essentials while he grabbed their sister and to meet them outside the 'The Old Iron pub' a pub were all the bad sort of people hung out, it was just on the outskirts of the town. At first they questioned why but the simply 'Do it' was enough to shut them up, questioning their father wasn't really a smart idea, he'd tell you when he wanted you to know or you had to figure it out. "Why do you think he wants to meet us?"
"Well it certainly is not for a drink" Irvan replied flicking his cigarette away when he was finished with it. His brother nodded running a hand through his hair leaning beside him on the car. There dad wouldn't bring their sister and nephew here, and he wouldn't tell them to pack up if it was for a drink.
"You think it's got something to do with the army?"
"Probably, dad doesn't like rules or orders" Irvan nodded, both of them still unsure. He shook his head staring at a man walking towards them, the drunkard stumbling ever so often over what looked like his top which was hanging off of him. What a fool Irvan snorted the man looked like an idiot. He liked to drink himself, but he didn't like being so drunk that you had little control over yourself, his brother thought the same, it was how their dad raised them. Drinking was fine, but drinking to the point of losing control was shameful. Shaking his head he turned away glancing around them for any sign of their dad or sister. None. They had only been waiting a few minutes but they were impatient. He looked back up at the drunkard narrowing his eyes slightly and sliding off of the car he was sitting on.
"What the hell?"
"hm?" Alexei snapped out of his thoughts staring at his brother before following his line of sight pushing off of the car with his foot. "The fuck?"
"Do you see what I am seeing brother or am I hallucinating" Irvan questioned not taking his eyes off of the drunkard.
"Nope I am seeing this to" Alexei nodded removing his eyes from the drunken man to see Irvan looking around them. "What are you looking for brother?"
"A camera crew because we must have fell on some fucking movie set" Irvan exclaimed pointing towards the man, what they had thought was clothing that the man was tripping over wasn't, the closer he got the clear it was.

He was tripping over his own intestines.

A loud bang made both of the boy's jump, the man they were staring at fell to the ground motionless. A baby's cry soon followed the bang. They both turned to see their dad and sister behind them. Jenika looking pale faced and just as shocked as they did as she tried to calm her crying baby and there dad lowering his gun.
"You just killed a man…" Alexei muttered disbelief lacing through his words.
"You idiots! Did he touch you?"
"What, no but no he no"
Irvan stuttered finding it hard to find his words, as he glanced back at the motionless body that there father just shot.

"Come" Lev motioned to his kids moving towards the pub, fully intent on climbing the steep mountain and getting away from the towns. He watched from the corner of his eye as they slowly followed him, watching him as if they were next. Lev rolled his eyes drawing his attention back to where he was going when he saw a woman hunched over a man. He stopped waiting for his kids to catch up when they did; he waited for them to see the sight he was seeing. The woman was ripping the man apart, three gasp sounded behind him and the woman looked up, her milky white eyes landed on them and she staggered to her feet, groaning as she reached for them despite not being close enough. Lev lifted his gun shooting the woman square in the head before jumping the fence, and turning to help Jenika over, his boys stood staring at the man trying to make sense of what they saw. Lev rolled his eyes again glancing around desperately he didn't want to stay here the noise would attract more but they needed to see it for there-self before they'd move willingly.

"What the fuck was that? She was eating him"
"Are you idiots really not getting it?"
Lev questioned not glancing at his sons as he surveyed the area carefully."The dead are walking"
"You high dad?"
"Or is this some fucked up Halloween prank?"
Alexei questioned his eyes focused on the dead couple, jumping back in surprise as the man began to fit. Both he and Irvan jumped the fence with speed when he sat up. Lev gave them a look lifting his gun pulling the trigger again.

"Trick or treat"
