(5's POV)
I opened my eye to see 9 and 7 standing over me. I couldn't believe that I was still alive.
"What the hell just happened?"
"I'm not sure," 9 admitted. "But we brought everyone back. Maybe 1 was right. We have to stay hidden."
"Why do you listen to 1? What if he's wrong?" I replied, mimicking 9. 7 laughed.
"I swear, guys can never agree on anything. That's why I left," she said. "It's gonna be okay, thankfully. But we all need to go home. The machines are still out there."
(7's POV)
I don't remember the cathedral, our home, being so far away. And as long as the walk was, I was just thankful that everyone was together again. Seeing my friends, my family, being killed was the worst thing in the world.
It must have been especially hard on 9, since he was new. He had just discovered a group of others like him, only to watch them die. I could see the pain in his optics when the machine took 5. He meant something to 9 that I couldn't quite put my finger on. They had been best friends from the start, and on that walk home, I started to wonder if maybe they would become more than that.
A/N- *Geico commercial voice* Short chapters- it's what I do! You guys are pretty much allowed to kill me if I don't update this one, because I know I was AFWUL with Just North of Normal. Sorry guys, but I'm going to leave JNON unfinished. Sequel may come out eventually. Right Here, however, WILL BE update, especially since the chapters are so short. Stick with me for the ride- it'll be worth it (I hope). ~Em
