Chapter 2
"Skyler," A muffled singsong voice called out, "Skyler."
"Hmm? What?" Skyler opened his eyes and nearly fell off of his bed from jumping up so fast.
"Hey easy there now," Alex laughed, his usual goofy boy grin on his face.
"I forgot that you came back," Sky replied softly his voice still heavy with sleep.
"Yeah well I made breakfast," Beamed a proud Alex, "It's not much just a bowl of Honey Combs with some milk but it's all we had."
"Oh. yeah. thanks," Sky leaned back against the wall at the head of his bed and gratefully took his bowl from his friend.
"No problem," Croaked Alex through a mouthful of food.
A bit of milk dripped down Skyler's chin as he laughed at Alex and said, "Dude that's gross. You just spit Honey Comb on me!"
"If it's so gross then why are you laughing?" Alex laughed too before inhaling and choking on his food.
"I don't. I don't know," Skyler's mood changed so suddenly that it caused Alex to look at him concerned, "I was thinking about what we saw last night. and."
"And what?" Alex was keen to hear what was bothering his friend.
He sat there patiently for a minute waiting for Skyler to answer him. Raising his spoon he took a bite of cereal still watching Skyler intently. Skyler's face was set in deep concentration as he thought about something. Alex slurped up the rest of the remaining milk that was left in his bowl before setting it aside on the nightstand, which sat between the two beds. Skyler shifted uneasily before meeting eyes with Alex.
"Well I was just thinking," He began slowly, pausing for a brief moment to pick a piece of Honey Comb off of his comforter, "Well I normally don't sleep so good. I should have been up before you. It freaked me out what happened last night and then I end up sleeping better. Just find it weird that's all." "Well maybe you finally got so exhausted that you couldn't wake up early. I mean like your body wouldn't let you," Alex suggested trying to soothe his friend.
"Maybe," Sky looked out the window at the dark day sky.
It was never bright here. There was always something blocking out most of the light. Be it heavy storm clouds, clustered overhead ready to release a torrent of rain or hail, with thunder shattering the sky and lightning cracking the ground. Or if it was the form of some unknown mist that had crept in without any warning, and that seemed to suck in the light around them making it darker that usual in the fog.
Today the skies above were heavy with rain. Lightning was already breaking its way free and ripping through the air in an electrical pathway that seemed to be searching for its target to hit.
"Sort of disappointing isn't it," Alex's gaze followed Sky's.
"Hmm?" Sky glanced at his friend as he was jerked from his thoughts, "Oh yeah. It is."
"Wouldn't mind a little sunshine breaking through," Alex went and sat on his bed and glanced at his rifle wearily, "Wouldn't mind not having to use that for a while either."
"I know what you mean," Sky looked rather depressed, like it was just becoming too much and he might soon give up.
"Hey!" Alex cried as he jumped up, "I know what. After I clean up the breakfast dishes we will go and explore the spot from last night!"
"Whatever," Sky moaned as he took cover beneath his blankets, settling in to a comfortable position, closing his eyes and just resting.

"You know what you have to do," A little girl's sinister singsong voice ran through out the place, echoing across the walls.
"No I- I wont do it," Teel's wavering voice replied, "I. can't."
"You must," The echo pounded inside her brother's head.
"." With that Desiree turned and it almost seemed as if she started to vanish in thin air.
"Wait," Teel cried out to her.
"Yes," Her voice was calm as if she already knew what was going to be said, her lips slightly turned upwards in a hideous form of a smile. "I. I-I," Teel swallowed hard and wiped his face with his hand, "I don't know if I can."
"That's wh-" Desi began before she was cut off.
"But I'll try," Teel's voice cracked and he looked away.
"Very good," Desi said as she turned and walked into her room.
Teel heard the door lock behind her, "Very good," came her voice, not in the least bit muffled even though behind the door.

"I don't see anything around here," Alex called back to Skyler who was busy staring at the foot print in the ground, "What? Did you find somethin'?"
"It's just a footprint," Sky looked back at Alex and almost jumped when he came face to face with him, "It's nothing special."
"That doesn't look like a zombies," Alex confirmed what Skyler, too, had been thinking.
For a moment both boys were quiet as they stared at the print on the ground. What made it look more human was the fact that it had not been drug across the ground. Also the shoe was still in good condition. A lot of the zombies either didn't have shoes or the shoes were ragged so prints weren't that good.
"Zombies usually don't run away," Alex had suddenly spoken up, "They come right for you without hesitation."
"I know," Sky replied as he studied the print a little more carefully before standing up and stretching out.
"I wonder if there is another person alive here," Alex looked around as he spoke as if expecting to see someone standing there.
"Looks like it's gonna start raining soon," Skyler sighed as he looked disappointedly up into the heavy cloud's.
"Well that's nothin' new," Alex too sighed as he scratched an itch on his left cheek and left a smear of dirt across it.
"I don't like the thunder," Sky added thoughtfully after a moment.
"Really? Why not?" Alex looked over at Sky with an intent interest that was rarely ever seen on his face. "I don't know," Skyler looked to his left and stared at a car that had long since stopped working, "I've just never really liked it, I mean ever since I was a kid. Never told you though cause I thought you would laugh at me."
"Well I wont laugh at you cause, well, get this," Alex breathed in deeply before continuing, "I'm don't really like the dark."
Skyler couldn't help but laugh to his friend's dismay, "Sorry but. not liking the dark isn't a good thing in a place like this."
"I know," Alex grinned goofily, "But hey at least this makes a good reason not to like it."
"I have to agr-" Skyler stopped and listened carefully, "Alex let's get inside."
"What?" There was a loud crashing noise not to far away, "Okay let's."
With that the two boys hurried into their hotel room. Both of them immediately went for their guns and turned to face the door, and both were extremely disappointed to see that neither of them had closed. Carefully Alex started forward intent on getting the door shut and locked.
"Careful," Sky moaned from behind in worry.
"I am being care-ahhhh!" Alex jumped back as a figure came rushing through the door, shutting and locking it behind them.
"Shhhh!" A male voice hissed, "Be very quiet."
The boys did as they were told and kept quiet. Alex backed over to where Skyler was and stood closely by, watching the stranger and out the window at the same time. Skyler seemed less perturbed by the stranger than by whatever was hidden out there by darkness.
Soon a large shadow came into sight just near the hotel. Alex gawked at it before looking between Skyler and the boy, neither of who seemed shocked by its appearance. Within seconds the creature had continued on in an almost silent manner.
"Who are you?" Alex spoke up a few minutes later.
The boy looked suddenly shy. He looked to the ground and began to fidget and chew on his lip. He wasn't that tall, maybe around 5'10" or 5'11" or so. He wasn't nearly as skinny as the other two he actually looked pretty well fed. His shaved off dark hair was a good contrast with his teal blue eyes. His cheeks stood out a rosy color in his slight blush.
"Teel," Came his nearly silent reply. "Your names Teel?" Alex looked ready to bust out laughing.
"Don't make fun of his name," Skyler shock Alex a warning glance for he had been teased by him about his name being Sky for a long time, "My names Skyler. Just Sky for short, and that's Alex."
"What are you doing here?" Alex took it upon himself to once again speak up, "How long have you been here? Why haven't we seen you around before?"
"I-I used to live here," Teel's voice shook slightly as he shifted uneasily from foot to foot, "I've been here around three weeks. I didn't want you guys to see me. I was scared th-that you guys might not be safe."
"What and you suddenly decided we were?" Alex shot making Teel jump a little, "And what made you come back here anyway?"
"Well I decided it was better to have someone here than to be alone," Teel looked forlornly at the two, "I came back to visit my family." He drifted off and cast his gaze out the window.

"Where could he be," Harsh was the voice that emitted.
A little girl paced her makeshift room clutching a dolly tightly to her. Her golden hair was a mess, and her little cheeks had scratches on them. Her once pretty dress was now torn and filthy.
"Yes," She spoke up, "Yes I agree."
She moved carefully over to her sleeping area and bent down to tuck the doll in carefully. Then she stood up and walked over to her door where she placed her hands behind her back and stood.
"You need your rest Ms. Dolly," She cooed her face blank, "We might have a long wait."
