A few hours have passed, and we finaly made it.
"Now, let's look for a place to crash." says Cana. We then find an inn. Everyone has seemed to evacuate the place. We then find a room that had four beds. This would have to do.
"I'm exhausted!" says Cana while plopping down on the bed.
"Same here." says Mira while sitting down on the bed next to her.
"We'll leave in the morning." says Erza while taking the bed next to mine.
"Okay, good night!" says Cana.
"Good night." says Mira.
"'Night." I say. While trying to fall asleep.
"Lucy!" shouts Natsu as he gets attacked by a zombie. I wake up. Beads of sweat dripping down my face. I stand up and decide to go the balcony to catch some fresh air. Erza was there.
"Hey," I say.
"Hey yourself." says Erza.
"So, you came to catch some fresh air?" I asked.
"Nah. The view here is great, luckily Cana brought a sniper, I've been taking some of them down from up here." says Erza.
"Oh. You really are a fighter, aren't you?" I ask.
"Yeah, helps me think." says Erza. We stand there in silence for awhile, I then speak.
"Hey, look, listen. I'm like really sorry about a while ago. I guess I just didn't really wanna leave home." I say.
"Don't sweat it." says Erza while aiming and taking another shot. I could see the look in her eyes. She didn't have any sense of fear in them.
"Aren't you scared?" I ask.
"No. why?" asks Erza.
"Well, if it isn't obvious, we're surrounded by zombies." I say stating the obvious.
"Look, you're only scared if you think you're scared. If you think that you're fine, you're fine. That's how it works. And you have family, friends, with that pretty face of yours I'm sure you have a boyfriend, right?" she asks. I nod. "See, you and Mira have family that you love, you're scared 'cause you don't know if they're safe or not. I on the other hand, don't have friends, a family or a boyfriend, I'm a solitary person." says Erza.
"Were they all killed by... them?" I say while pointing at the zombies.
"Nope. Never had them, my parents died when I was very young, my grandparents raised me, and when I turned twelve, they died too. I've never had friends. Well, not that I know of. And guys, it's never been a priority for me. I go to school via scholarship, I work as a waitress in a coffee shop, and I live alone." says Erza.
"Whoa... don't you get... lonely?" I ask.
"Sometimes. But, I have myself. And that's all I need." says Erza while aiming again and taking another perfect shot.
"I'll be your friend." I say.
"You will?" asks Erza as if I were joking.
"Yeah." I say.
"Thanks, I guess." says Erza while taking another shot.
"Your welcome." I say. It wasn't before long, the sun started to rise.
