OSCAR ALONE III

Oscar cannot explain very well as he has no idea what has happened to their community, after all it has been a year since he was kicked out. To Oscar all he knows is that the men that has taken over their community are men that cannot be trusted. He described their philosophies in a Fascistic point of view, which the man found pathetic.

"What if they are living well, the community is sustained, don't forget that"

"Then...."

"Maybe it was that k-"

"That 'KID' that they kicked out was just a boy, a 13 year old.. what can he do?"

"At 13 I hunted and killed my first deer"

"That's different"

"Yeah, but it was a living thing"

"It was an accident that he cannot orchestrate"

"...."

"...."

"I think you need to calm down and think, the reason why a society crumble is because of people like you..."

"You think they got rid of us for.. damage control?"

"Your words, not mine"

"..."

"All we can do is head to Minnesota, I highly doubt that those people that you call Fascist really wants to-"

"This is a free world, they might want to enslave them"

"No they won't.... this is a free world, true, but if they will not cooperate then they would collapse, they need the cooperation of your people in order to sustain a good life..."

"Would you work yourself to the bone, even if it means you get to live?"

"In exchange for hot food and bathe, for sure"

"What if they run out?"

"That is why the-"

"What IF they run out of resources, they'll start cutting excess.... and by the time you have realized it you're dead... or worse"

"What are you saying, they will not risk lives just to survive"

"Couldn't they have just talked to me and the 'kid' instead of kicking us out?"

"This doubt, right here... Its the reason while you're out here"

"...."

The men checked the others in case if something bad happened to them, obviously they all have heavy emotions since one of them just dies that easily, with no burial. The family got on their feet and they all prepared for travel, the plume smoke can be seen in the bright night sky and the ground around it on fire. After an hour the horses got back on their feet and they start to travel to the state of Minnesota.

Oscar remained restless as his point of view on the 'enemy' clouds his judgement. He needs to find some people that can help him get rid of the control over the community, that is not suffering.

Elizabeth takes care of Samantha who has grown so much since her brother's departure from the community, Elizabeth would ask Craig to write letters from 'Zachary' to Samantha so that she won't feel lonely. The community feels much more lively since the regime has taken over them, all of the smaller parts of their community has gotten much stronger including Norfolk. Some of the people close to Oscar and Zachary has believed that the both of them were in the wrong and exile is the best solution.

Lee Ryung Ki has been married to Niall and already has kids, they all have moved on from what has happened from the past 5 years, they would have wanted it. Craig and Natalia has fallen for each other during that amount of time, they all have contributions to the great community that they have built and sustained. They visit the town of Washington once a month in order to pay respect to the 2 fallen brothers.

Bryce is the only one from their group that stayed in Mackinaw after checking the other parts of the communities. The other members that was with Alpha(Oscar) has departed from the community on a mission, they would like to bring more people to their community in order to strengthen it and create a frontier that would last until the virus dies out. Their smaller communities has started to look even better as the years went by, there is no one thing that would cause the communities to fall apart.

"Hey"

"Hey, where's the kids?"

"With Elizabeth and Samantha"

"Good, its been 5 years since Zachary was exiled, do you think he'll return?"

"I doubt that, he was just a kid... we cannot get our hopes up"

"How about Alpha?"

"Why are we still talking about them, there were over a hundred people that would have been like them..."

"Were they bad?"

"What they did threatened the whole community, Oscar misunderstood it but he kept on fighting... he deserves to be thrown away"

"...."

"You did not know that man for long, we barely even knew him and his team"

"Yeah, but we owe him.. if it weren't for them we will not en-"

"hush now, can you just stop... about what you are talking about, that is all in the past, and we cannot do anything even talking about it... okay?"

"Okay"

"Good, I'll see you during the feast... we have work to do"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

Lee went out of the room and checked on their daughters, Niall followed as he walked outside of the building he feels a familiar presence. He looked around and he sees Tobias' familiar walk and posture, he blinks and rubs his eyes and it is still there. He walked towards it and jogs, he taps it on the back and it was just Craig.

"hey there"

"Hey uhm"

Natalia walks outside and the air in between them got awkward real quick, the 3 just nodded.

"I apologize, uhm see ya"

"Sure.. se ya"

Niall walks around the gloomy area as he saw the figure once more, his footsteps makes loud noises and he walked slowly. The figure went into an abandoned house and the voice is familiar.

"What do you think, should we raid this one?"

"No, Niall said this place is like a fortress we can't do anything about it, guess we'll have to do Norfolk again"

Niall looked in confusion as he never met this men.

"Are you sure yeah?"

"Can we ask him?"

"Yeah I'll get him"

The men walked out the door, as Niall was about to get up and go the man stepped out of the door and fired a taser at him, quickly incapacitating him. The men drag him into the house and they killed the lights as Craig followed by.

"I swear I saw him here"
