chapter 3

previously:

well i wanted know the answers so i followed him

leo leaned against the wall in the shack. it was made up of wood, there was a huge table in the between. filled with books and stationary, leo gestured me to sit but i too leaned against the opposite walls

"I know you are probably puzzled by the look on your face when you first entered the gate, I'm not surprised, half the people don't know anything"

"what's going on then?"

he sighed as if regretting his next words

"ana, in 2023, there was a war...a huge war, but a different and more deadly one then world wars, a lotta country's released viruses onto their enemies, but it got out of control, they also got infected....ana millions died, now the survivor's came together and saved as much uninfected children they could and made this organization whose name is unknown to us.....they left us here, every year for 3 years children come...new....scared and not knowing what's happening.....who was you parents?or guardian?"

"my mom died when I was 2, my dads an officer, I haven't seen him for 3 years, nor have I benn out for 3 years, this is all new to me"

"where do you think your dad is?"

"I don't know, but he is alive"

"he is dead" leo didn't make eye contact

I scoffed and went out the shack....people turned towards me

I ignored all of them and ran into the cluster of trees by the lake.....I ran until I couldn't breath, I fell down, my mind asking questions

"what if he is right?"

"dads dead?"

"not true"

and a million other things

I didn't even realize when I dozed off
