I am just a stranger

Scott, Talisa, and Billy finally arrived at Docked City. The seaside city was a dead city. It had many destroyed or damaged buildings where there were many zombies around it.

"We can't enter the gate easily. There are many zombies there. If we came here by car, we could enter this city by passing through the toll road." Talisa looked around after saying that.

"Using car or engined vehicle will make us on serious trouble. Might we will not get out easily from the car when zombies make us trapped," Scott said. "By the way. We can enter this city by breaking the wall. It looks fragile. Some bricks stick out of it."

Scott approached the wall he meant. He took a brick then preparing to throw it to the wall area. But suddenly Billy prevents him to do that.

"Stop it, Scott! There are many zombies behind this wall. I see them when I went up to the wreckage," he said.

"Fuck! So, we need to find another way?" Scott said frustratedly.

Billy didn't answer. He looked thinking while walking.

"Guys, they are seemly be attracted by something inside this city. They are moving there together," Talisa said when seeing those zombies were moving to a spot inside city.

"What the? There is something that attracted them. But what is that?" Scott said while looking to the spot where those zombies were moving.

When those zombies moved to the one spot inside the city, Scott, and the others entered city quietly. They're not trying to find out what causing those zombies moving to one spot.

But, their movement stopped when hearing a huge roar that comes from the spot where those zombies gathering.

"What's that?" Talisa said as she looking around.

"I think that's a giant creature roaring recently. The dead humans transformed into zombie then the zombie transformed becoming bigger. It's caused by an extreme mutation that happened to it," Scott said. "That viruses had transformed the dead humans into horrifying creature that has ever existed."

"We have to move. We need to find some safest place," Billy talked as he looking at an alley that's dark because of the day has turned into night.

The three persons were going through the dark alley while hearing every sound that heard. Faintly they heard conversation of at least two people that came from a building at side of the alley.

"Sheila, we need to face this situation calmly. I know about your agony after loosing your family," a man said like to try calming down someone.

"Eric, please stop talking. I am just thinking about the new city that can accomodate us while protecting us from zombies attack. My family died cause of trying to reach the city. Lucky for us could escape from the zombies assault," a woman called Sheila said.

When they're talking, Scott,Talisa, and Billy appeared before them made them surprised.

"Who are you? Could you say anything before enter our room?" Eric said unhappy while looking at Scott and friends.

Scott looked at the man who has short blonde hair.

"We're sorry if our coming make you surprised. We just don't want to attract zombies attention. Moreover for the big one," he said.

"Hai, I am Talisa. I heard this guy who named Eric called you as Sheila," Talisa said while holding out her hand invites to shake hands to Sheila.

Sheila looked at Talisa while sighing. She didn't accept Talisa shakehand.

Talisa just looked down. She understood that the girl isn't friendly.

"Don't try to make her impress, honey. She isn't friendly to strangers," Eric said while looking at Talisa and Sheila. "Oww, what's happened with your hand, man? It looks injured badly. Bitten by zombies?" he added while looking at Billy.

Billy didn't answer. He just looked at a window.

"I have almost killed him cause of his injure. I thought he will transform into zombie after be bitten by an unexpected zombie," Scott said.

"Don't talk too much, Scott. They are strangers," Billy said.

"Interesting. But what the mean about unexpected zombie?" Eric asked curious.

"It's a long story. I will tell you but not now. I am sleepy. I need to take a rest for a while," Scott said while lying his body on a old sofa that located inside the room.

"Hei, that's mine! You have to get out before I kick your ass!" Sheila said with loud voice while approaching to Scott position.

"Easy, honey. Don't treat every stranger like treating enemy. I have told you, we need friends. We need every help from the others who wants to help," Eric talked while preventing Sheila from attacking Scott.

"So, this old sofa is yours? I am sorry to say I want to borrow your sofa just for minutes. I need to take a rest," Scott said while looking at Sheila at his lying position.

Billy approached Scott. He grabbed Scott's feet and pulling them until Scott falling down from the sofa.

"You can take a rest at this cardboard stacks," he said.

"How dare you, Billy! Ooh, you dare to fight me now!" Scott said angrily as he getting up then trying to threat Billy.

"Enough, both of you!" Talisa shouted as she mediating the two men who almost in fight.

Sheila and Eric just looked each other after seeing the commotion.

"I think your shout is a big problem, honey. Maybe what Sheila thinking was true. You should not be here. But you are already here. So, there is no taking rest here. We have to run for our life," Eric said while looking unhappy to Scott and the others.

Several minutes later, when the guys were running together away from the building that already be sieged by zombies.

"Your coming is a mistake, asshole!" Sheila swore while glaring at Scott.

"Maybe not," Scott replied.

"Your presence maybe is a mistake, sharp mouth," Billy replied what Sheila said.

"Shut up, you the imp!" Sheila spoke sharply.

"My right hand maybe is imp. But the other will slap your sharp mouth," Billy said as if wanting to test the girl patience.

"Billy, shut your mouth up! Don't talk like that to a woman!" Talisa said with annoyed tone.

When they're running, a car drove passing them. The car stopped right front of them.

"Talisa, Billy, Scott. You are here." Someone who went out from the car exclaimed.

"Keira?" Scott muttered.

Several minutes later inside a barricaded building that looked like a warehouse.

Finally Scott and friends found Keira. The girl wasn't alone. Kein and Cohen were with her.

"So now you want to be with him?" Talisa asked while looking at Keira.

"Talisa, we need a guy who can lead us to a better condition. He has told me about his wish. He wants to bring us to the city of peace. The city is a hope. We will live there normal like we live in our hometown," Keira replied.

Meanwhile Kein who talked with Sheila and Eric just noding his head for several times after listening what Eric and Sheila say.

"So, you know track to reach the city?" Kein said. "But, we can't start to move before I found my lost friends. I can't reach the city without them," he added.

"Sorry to say that I don't agree about your wish. We have to move immediately. Tomorrow is a day when those zombies leaving the bridge because of the giant thing calls them all. We can't miss the chance just like that. I suggest you to leave them who left behind," Sheila said sternly as she looking sharp at Kein.

"So, you force me to leave my friends? Maybe I need to stay for long until I found them. For you, might you can go across the bridge earlier. Cohen will escort you," Kein said while staring at Sheila and Eric.

"That's bad idea, sir. We have to move together. But we can't wait for your friends. Maybe you have plan? An emergency plan?" Eric said.

"I am not going with you is my backup plan. So, accept this. Moreover I am no one for you. I am just a stranger," Kein said.

Sheila looked at Kein while sighing.

"So, I am going. Come on, Eric. Don't waste your time by talking with him," she said while leaving.

"Sheila, where are you going? We need to clear this," Eric exclaimed while following Sheila.

Meanwhile Cohen and Keira were talking with Talisa and Billy whereas Scott was lighting fire at a fireplace.

"So, you put honour to Kein, Keira? I just found out about it," Cohen said while holding a wine bottle.

"I have no choice, Cohen. I think Kein will take responsibility for anything he will decide. So far, he has done whatever he can to lead us to a right path," Keira said as she looking at Kein who was sitting front of Scott.

"So, what's the right path, Keira? The city of peace?" Cohen asked then drinking wine.

"I think so. That city is our only destination for now. But we can't go for now. Kein still look for Wen and Helen and the others who disappeared when attacked by the horde of zombies," Keira answered.

"Whatever you and Kein plan about, I will keep to move alone. You know me, Keira. I always wander alone to do my work. My business is for government of Gloria. So, I will go without you. Moreover, the other call has come to call me to my duty," Cohen said as he leaving Keira to approach at Kein.

"Hei, boy. I need to go. We will part again. You must know about my habbits," he said while looking at Kein.

"I know. That's your habbits. I will not stop you. Just go. Wish us luck," Kein replied while standing up.

Time shortened.

Cohen has left Kein and the others to do what he called as duty. Meanwhile Kein was preparing to look for Wen and Helen. He wasn't alone. Keira, Talisa, and Billy wanted to follow him.

Meanwhile Sheila, Eric, and Scott went to a place that called as Bridge of Deads.

"I think this will not end good," Eric said as he staring at a giant gate that be barricaded by huge thing such like wrecked trailer truck even ship wreckages.

"You must be kidding me," Scott muttered. "I had been there for a while. I came there not by passing this bridge."

"So, there is other way?" Sheila asked.

"Yeah, there was the other way," Scott answered.

"Was?" Eric spoke.

"Now it is no more. Forbidden exactly. The Narahita is the reason why the path has been forbidden," Scott said.

"Fuck Narahitan! I always hate them," Sheila said in anger.

"So, what shall we do?" Eric asked.

"Passing them silently. You must know about the risk will happen if we fail," Scott said as he approaching to a wreckage.

Sheila and Eric looked at Scott while following him. They're looked in worry. They worried about failure that will be happen. They had been in trauma after the event that had happened at two weeks ago after trying to cross the bridge.

"Following him is the best choice I think. That is better than trying to cross this bridge that controlled by zombies. We are not machine that can buldoze those zombies easily," Scott said after seeing what's at the bridge.

"But we can pass them silently. Like you said," Sheila said while staring at Scott in unhappy face.

"That is not so easy, girl. We need to find another way. Fighting Narahita included. Everything I will do to reach the city," Scott said as he staring at Sheila.

"You are insane!" Sheila pointed her finger at Scott.

Finally, Scott and his follower decided not to go through the bridge. They knew about the risk that will be happened if dare to cross the bridge.

"You are so coward!" Sheila cursed while walking behind Scott.

"For your safety, girl. Don't make your life in risk to do something that impossible to be done," Scott  replied.

"The beach? I think we can find some boats or yachts to reach our destination," he added while looking at beach not so far from the bridge.
