Sorry again, but since I'm making this. might as well turn it into a real chapter amirite? I'm wrong
"So dad, how did you guys survived?" Lily asked as they all sat beside the campfire. The town was lively that night. Beer and steak in hand they sat with smiles.
"Well, we got along the road fine until our bus got ambushed. We got it out, nobody was seriously injured. We walked back home. Stayed in Lisa's bunker for the night until we got a telegraph from your grandpa. We went to Mastadon. got on his boat. and sailed for open waters. Lisa got the boat running on poo. And Lana was more than happy to help, we even had a tan bed installed on the roof, sweet tan,"
"Sheesh dad, don't need to make me blush now," Lana said as she pats the lizard on her shoulder.
"You guys had it easy huh?" Luna asked, her fingers playing with the coffee-filled mug.
"Yeah aside from the mostly fish diet, which gets boring after so long. we had it pretty easy. can I have some salt on my steak, this thing is barely seasoned, though it was hard to get sugar and salt-" Lynn Sr. saw the look on Luna's face. It went from happy to annoyed. He looked at her and asked, "Something's wrong Lunes?"
"No, no, everything's fine," She smiled with tears bubbling in her eyes, "I should get to sleep, big day tomorrow," She wipes it off, leaving the twelve alone.
"Is she okay Lily?" Dad asked.
"We went through hell, that's it, Luna starved herself too many times just to keep me fed-" She took a deep breath, "And you came after five years and complained about salt,"
"Oh Lily, I'm sorry, I-I,"
"It's okay we all make mistakes, mine made her lose her foot, I live with that guilt," Lily sighed. "What do you guys know about mistakes, so far all of you look fine, no scratches, no scars, no torn off limbs. When she told me about you guys, I thought you were going to be some sort of a pack, but all I've seen so far are a bunch of losers that complains about tiny shit. I am 6 and I had to eat a rat for breakfast, don't you dare tell Luna that again, she worked her ass off for everything here, she gave you food off her ration book, she's sick, she needs that food, but no, she checked it off her ration book to fit you guys into the schedule,"
They went silent, all eyes were on her. "Have you ever killed someone?" Lily asked, breaking the crickets hymn.
"No," one by one mumbled.
"I did, I killed people, I can hear their screams, Luna killed. Sometimes when she was asleep, I could hear her cry, she'd say 'take me instead, I didn't mean to kill you, don't take her' and she'd cry and cry," Lily took a bite off her steak. "Have you killed on of those creatures?"
"Yes, two," Lynn Sr. replied, "How many did you kill?"
"Too many to count,"
