CHAPTER 2 - Who are you?
1170 Words
I woke up in an unfamiliar place and can't remember anything. I don't even see people and, it seems like they had a world war III here. What the hell? What am I supposed to do?
Should I sleep again? Maybe that will help.
"Oh, God," I said out of frustration.
I don't know what time is it, but I think it is still morning because the sunlight doesn't still burn my skin, unlike when it's afternoon.
I roam around in this unfamiliar town and saw some buildings but, after walking a little far, trees became more and more so, I became a little nervous.
I went back to the place where the truck is and saw a convenience store. I tried pulling the door and, I opened it. "Woah, they left it. Do they have CCTV here?"
"Hello? Is anyone inside here? Hello?" I smelled some food. I went to the back of the convenience store and saw a cup of soup with hot water already.
Wait, there's someone in here! "Hello, is anyone here? Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. Come on!" I kept saying hello but, no one's answering. I sighed. I just bought a little snack and went back inside the truck.
"Oh, I haven't checked the back of the truck." I went outside again just to see different household tools. It also has a light inside the truck. I even saw different types of the gun inside. What the hell?
But I really got amazed, hehe.
I climbed up to the truck and closed the door. I checked the guns if they have bullets, and they do!
Pistol and shotgun. I was amazed I looked like a child that saw a superhero. There's also a 50-Caliber rifle. I searched it before and, it is the most powerful firearm civilians can buy. I wonder how to use these things.
There are also different types of weapon knives but, I don't know them.
But the thing that really got my attention is a picture of a girl in a white dress. I wonder where she is.
"Maybe this is her truck, and maybe she's the owner of that soup in the convenience store" I smiled at that thought, "I'm not alone!"
I hurriedly went outside the truck and went back to the convenience store. The soup wasn't there anymore. "Hello, I know there's someone in here. Can you please show up? I'm not going to hurt you," I said pleasingly.
I was about to go out when I heard a door opened. I thought she's going to show up herself but what I saw is a dog, a Siberian Husky Dog.
I went straight up to the dog, not being afraid. But when I'm about to touch the dog. It barked.
Out of nowhere, someone pulled me and point a knife in my neck. I gasped because I can feel how sharp the knife is.
"Who are you?" she asked. I knew it was a girl because of her voice and height. I'm taller than her, and she can't properly reach me but, she's holding the knife like an expert one. I might die if I made a move.
"C-can you please move the knife slightly? I'll not be able to answer you properly if you kept that sharp knife of yours pointed in my neck." I said.
She pushed me and still pointed the knife in front of me. The dog came closer to her. I raised both of my hands signing that I'm not going to do anything.
"Okay, first of all, I'm Aiden." I swallowed hard after saying my name. She's just looking at me.
"If you're going to ask me if what I'm doing here, I don't know either," I explained calmly. She started to put the knife down in her pocket.
I continued talking, "I just woke up in that truck," I point out the truck outside the store "where I think it's yours." I shrugged and get some snacks.
She remained silent, so I talked again. "Uh, can you tell me where am I, and what place is this?" I asked nervously. I'm a bit nervous when I'm talking. Maybe she might stab me with her knife because of my noisy and talkative mouth.
She didn't answer and started walking outside. I'm still standing and watching her leave but, she looked back and glared at me.
I got scared, so I looked away. She doesn't want to be stared at while walking, huh.
I looked at her again and hurriedly looked away when I saw her still looking at me.
"i***t!" She shouts at rolled her eyes.
I pointed to myself. Is she pertaining to me? "Excuse me? My name is Aiden, not Idiot." I said.
I saw her rolled her eyes again, "I want you to follow me," she said and starts to walk again.
"Ohh, sorry ha-ha-ha," I said awkwardly laughing. "stupid," she whispered. "I heard that" I glared at her. "And so?"
Is she in her period? Why is she so grumpy? I just followed her and, we went inside the truck.
She expertly climbs up inside the truck while I'm having difficulty with this stupid truck.
"Close the door," she seriously said. I got nervous about what she said. "W-what?" I asked, "Please, no. I'm still a virgin. I don't even have an idea where am I," I said panicking.
"Stupid, just close the door. You're not my type," she coldly said. "Ouch!" I dramatically said while holding my chest and acting like I'm hurt. I heard her chuckled, so I closed the door.
I remembered the picture, she's not the girl there. But they're look-alike. I was curious, so I asked her "I saw a picture earlier there, in the table. Is that you?"
"It's my mom. Hold this" She answered me and told me to hold the pistol gun. "Do you know how to use this?" she asked me. "No. Can I ask where's your mom?"
"She died" she answered my question but didn't look at me and just continue teaching me how to hold the gun. I felt sorry for asking, so I remained silent.
I've learned so many things from her. Like, how to use the guns and even the types of weapon knives that I saw earlier.
After hours of talking and listening to her, I still don't know why I'm here, but I'm enjoying it a little. I have free food, but I don't have a phone and wifi, but still, it's enjoyable here.
I fell asleep after eating and, when I woke up she told me to be silent and don't make any noise. I listened to her because I heard some weird noises outside. I wanted to ask her what's happening, but I want to listen to her first.
She called me by waving her hand and signaled to peek into the hole to see what's happening outside.
My jaw dropped at what I saw. What are they?
