Part Three

"Did you see anyone?" Kalina asked while leaning against the white, chalkbrick wall guarding the grounds. It was 10 foot and topped with spikes, impossible to climb or look over.
"I could only see part of the main building, but it look abandoned....atleast I think it did." Thierry, Kalina's brother, paced back and forth along a small stretch of troden down grass in the otherwise overgrown woodland.He's long leather coat just missing the short brambles that his boots pushed down.
"We should go back and find Xavier," She quickly looked around the surrounding area, "Or just leave without him. You know we can't trust him! You knew him, what, 5 minutes before the virus? He can't be trusted. We all heard the stories about him at school."
"You of all people should know what it's like to have false stories spread about yourself. You hated it when people believed the lies that were spread, how they judged you for what you didn't do."
"We can't take that chance, not now. We hardly knopw the guy, what's to say he won't sell us out to the first tribe he meets? Everyone's hungry, how long will it be till they start eating people?"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
"I'm serious. Tinned food won't last forever. We may be armed, but there's always a chance some-one could trick us into giving them up. Watch your back. I may not be able to cover both of us if you get us tricked into anything."
"Who's tricking who?" Xavier strolled up to the siblings. He was dressed similarly to Thierry, only bulker both in clothing and stature.
"If there is people in there, they may be tricking us." Thierry answered quickly, he's eyes darting slightly. Xavier seemed not to notice and strided closer to them.
"Nah, the place is deserted, trust me."
"Are you sure?"
"Trust me...hun."
"Don't.Call.Me.That." Kai glared at him, angry boiling inside her.
"Chill! We're all on the same side remember?"
"I'm not sure your friends knows that, bro."
"I know that." Xavier returned Kai's glare.
"Now that we're all fine and dandy, can we please hurry up and get inside that mansion? Or would you prefer to both strave to death out here during your little staring competion?"
Xavier and Thierry started to walk towards the gate round the other side of the wall, with Kai following them a few paces behind.
