Logan's POV
"So saan tayo?" asked the witch named Meaghan.
Her name suits her though, but I will never admit it due to what have happened before.
I still can't get over the fact that a mere woman outsmart me in all ways possible.
I used to be the smart one in our class, or in my circle of friends. But when I came here in this country, everything has changed.
"We need to find supplies ASAP, and if possible, some parts to upgrade this truck. Do you have any idea where? Shopping malls and convenience stores are not an option right now. There are probably lots of zombies there," I answered. Geez, just thinking about those places, you'll already know that many zombies swarms in there.
"May alam akong lugar! Kuya Logan tanda mo pa ba yung lugar kung saan mo ko nakita?" Benj asked. I can now understand what they are saying because of the device I was wearing. It's a big help for me so that we don't need to adjust that much in terms of communicating with each other.
"Uh a bit, I'm not that familiar here in the Philippines. But I think I entered San Mateo that time. Is that where are you talking about?" I answered, remembering the opening sign I had passed through before.
"Hindi, doon pa sa may Rodriguez. May alam akong malaking bahay dun. For sure madami tayong makukuha doon," Benj said.
I don't know if I'm just imagining things, but I think I saw anger in his eyes.
An hour or so had passed before we arrived at our destination point.
It is a 3-storey mansion, with a wide gate blocking our way.
B E A U F O R D
The words that are encarved in it.
Looks like we hit a jackpot, the entire place screams wealth.
I step out of the car and tried opening the gates. But to no avail, it's locked.
"Hey! It's locked! Let's just find another house nearb—" he cutted me off by his sentence.
"No! We'll raid this house now!" Benj angrily shouted. He looked so determined that's why he step out of the car and hurriedly climb up the gate.
The witch and I exchanged glances, and she just shrugged her shoulders.
We bring some weapon incase something happen and climbed the gate.
I am only a few steps to ground when Meaghan gracefully jumped from the highest part of the gate.
"Tch," I murmured. She's like Jollibee, what you called it? Pabida? I don't know...
She just ignored me and walk her way to the doors.
As soon as Benj opened the door, he freezed in his position.
Meaghan and I run to his place to know what was happening.
We also stood shock to see a man in dirty suit fighting off those zombies.
Benj stepped back and tripped on something. A horde of zombies attacking someone gaze in our direction.
Sht! Another horde!
I hurriedly bring out my weapon and toss a cleaver in Benj's direction that he easily caught.
We run in a seperate direction to divide the horde.
We can't just leave this place because there's another survivor in here.
I started shooting the zombies within my vicinity. I aim for their heads or heart to make sure that they're dead.
I am almost running out of ammo, and the zombies keep on running after me!
I fired my last bullet and starts accepting my fate.
The zombies are just a few inches away from me. Even before it lands on my body, their head had been cut off and other body parts were slashed!
I was in awe as I realized what was happening.
The witch, I mean Meaghan saved me!
She kicked those zombies then s***h them after using her mini scythe.
We are now in back to back position, she handed me a small pocket knife.
"Stop looking at me and fight those bastard's off!"
I do what I was told. I positioned myself and started thrusting my blade to the zombies body.
Geez, I never thought that she'll save me, and that I will fight with her!
She looks so fierce while bravely slashing through the zombie's heads and other body parts.
After a few minutes, we managed to fight them all off. We run towards were Benj is, and looks like he's also done fighting them.
"Uh t—" my sentence was cut in mid air when Meaghan just passed by me and walk towards the door.
Benj and I just shrugged and follow her. We saw her helping a man stand up. He looks awful.
Without any second thoughts, I carried him to our truck because he already passed out.
"Grab something that we can use in here. Then we'll leave before the zombies comes rushing back here," I told them.
Without further ado, we've do what I told them. Good thing that this house still has sufficient amount of food even tho there's no one residing here.
After getting everything, we walk back to our house and set back our track on the road again.
Benj's POV
Nasaan na ang mga tao doon? Si Don Beuford? Nakakainis! Ako dapat ang papatay sa kanila! Lalong lalo na sa anak nya! Wala man lang akong nakitang picture o album doon na magtuturo kung ano ba ang itsura ng Zeke na yon!
Tiningnan ko ang katabi kong lalaki dito sa backseat. Malalim pa rin ang tulog nito dahil na rin siguro sa pagod.
'Posible kaya?'
Ipinilig ko ang ulo sa aking naiiisip at tinuon ang tingin sa harapan.
Malabo. Hindi sya mukhang mayaman na anak ni Don Beauford. Mas mukha pa syang gusgusin sa akin. Punit punit ang damit nito at puro sugat ang katawan. Bakas pa rin ang natuyong dugo mula sa mga nakasagupa nya kanina. Kung hindi siguro kami dumating ay matagal na syang kabilang sa mga zombie.
Kahit anong mangyari, aalamin ko kung nasaan sila. Igaganti ko ang kuya ko at sisiguruhin kong maranasan nila lahat ng naranasan ko!
