Chapter eighteen

We immediately got out of the house and traced our way back to the path we were taking before we were kidnapped. I didn't know if I should have been scared of Xavier. The things happening around him were strange.

And it was like as time went on, things became more stranger and weirder. As we were walking, I noticed that we had all become quiet so I decided to bring some liveliness to the quiet atmosphere.

"Xavier, I've been wanting to ask you this. How did you not get infected when you were bitten by that zombie?" I asked him. "I heard that there's no cure for the bite.

You'll automatically die when you get bitten." I saw Brandon flinch from the corner of my eye.

"Where Brandon and I come from, the best scientists are found there and they find cures to every illness. Maybe if your doctors haven't found drugs yet, mine have." He said. "They've given every single person a vaccine against the bite. That is why when Brandon or me is bitten, we'll never get infected." He finished in his regular tone.

"Wow. When we get to your town, we'll also get vaccinated. Then we'll also be unresponsive to the bite. I can't wait, sis." Senah said.

"So, Senah I'm guessing you're thirteen. Right?" Brandon asked.

"No. I'm fifteen. Ephreona and I have a three-year age difference. Oh my god, you thought I was a child!" Senah said and kept on babbling to herself like was disappointed.

"Hey, what's the difference between being fifteen and thirteen? It's just a two-year difference. There's nothing wrong with me seeing you as young." Brandon said while he tried to engulf Senah in a hug.

These two lovebirds would kill me with jealousy. Why couldn't Xavier and I be like this. The question was:

Did I really want Xavier and I to be like this?
