XXIII Shelter

Caspian and Lily left the house by dawn and walked to Caspian's house. While walking he comes across familiar buildings that he would always view when coming to school in Tugertral.

Like the gas station where they would always go to when picking up one of their van mates, the store where they went when they were buying clothes for the new school year, a meat shop that was really smelly due to animal waste he doesn't know why it still smells , and the small clock tower in the middle of all of it that rings when it turns midnight .

They walked and walked until they where now in front of Caspian's house. He stopped and ran to the door that he would always go through when he went home beside his aunt's house the he goes to get some snacks.

He was really lonely every since his brother when to collage, he would only be alone boarding the van and leaving it. His little brothers didn't pass the exam and schooled on the school near his home, they ate with his parents while he would eat with his friends .

He would cry or sing sometimes in the kitchen because of some thoughts but no one would hear or see it because he always hid it but now he wishes they're ok and tell them all about it. His hardship and sadness.

But when he opened the door the inside was in ruins the couch torn apart, kitchen ware every where he looked in the bedroom and there was nothing but scattered paper and cushion foam.

He wandered the house hoping for something or someone but alas he found nothing, he went back to the room and sat down.

He looked around and saw his black journal, he opened it to see his old drawings and writings he wrote randomly but when he when to the last page he saw something written down on the page.

Caspian my son, some weird people started showing up eating other people and we barricaded the door but we were surrounded. But we were rescued by some militants and asked us to come with them. We said no but they promised us, and even told us you might be dead. I didn't believe them so i left this note.

Go to Yuniah quick because we are headed to Aliana by some months, i know that your alive so go there to come with us.
