The Plan (ch-6)

Everyone picked their own choice of wepons, there were some extra wepons left but it may come in handy during difficult situations.

Esna sat with Mel in the backseat, Esna, Seto and Ceasar being the only ones with a gun. The twins sitting close to eachother.

Esna was staring at the guns, it interested her. "...These guns..." she murmured to herself before she looked at Caesar and Kallisto.

Caesar looked away, gulping. Hoping that Esna had nothing against the type of guns they bought.

"To be honest, those guns are looking good." Seto commented on the guns, there were a total of three and two more. "A sniper rifle, a modern RPK, an AK-47."

Vincent than spoke "I didn't know you had a taste in guns." refering to Kallisto who went to get the weapons earlier. Lavi didn't say a word and instead listened to the conversation.

Kallisto laughed as usual, turning to Vincent before he wrapped his arms around Caesar "I wasn't the one who chose em, he did."

Caesar tensed his shoulders as Kallisto's sudden wrapped his arms around him, he pushed his glasses up. "I... those were the um, good ones..?"

Esna's mouth formed an O as she spoke to Caesar "oooooh... so you're the quiet kid that carries gun in his bag type..."

"... shouldn't we be worried about our families?" Mel spoke up, creating silence in the blink of an eye. Pressing her lips against eachother, she avoided eye contact. "D-did I say something wrong...?"

Kallisto looked at the others, no answer. "Nope." Kallisto let go of Caesar. The twins looked at eachother as silence filled the bus yet again.

Esna made a face, the edges of her mouth pointing downwards, maybe it was awkward. "I dunno about you all... but I no worries for me..." She murmured, leaning to her side.

Vincent stood up, his arms to his side. "Of course You're not worried—" he was cut off by Lavi speaking "We can go out tomorrow and check... maybe?" Worry was mixed in her voice as she tried to remain calm, she was worried about their father.

Esna and Mel sharing a glance with eachother, talking with their eye movement and some head shaking because the others won't like it if they say it loud—about how there's not much chance that the parents or their family members might be alive and so on.

Seto who was sitting next to the window, lightly pulled the curtain to see if anything was there. "Guys, out of topic but what should we them? those creatures..."

Kallisto immediately answer proudly 'megalodon the destroyer' of course it was a joke, no one did agree to call that.

Seeing how no one had an actual name that would suit, he raised his hand low as he spoke "I think Fiend will be suitable..." Waiting for a reply he looked down at the bus floor. "... Never mind I think—"

"That will suit it, I mean, they do look horrifying." Esna sat up straight, approving Ceasar's opinion, fiend means an evil spirit or demon which those creatures kind of relate to their eerie wide ear-to-ear smile that never drops and etc etc.

Vincent stood up and walked to the bus door, confusing the rest and even worrying them, there are creatures that lurk in the shadows that kills outside, who will even go out?

"... Where's he going now?" Mel murmured to herself, staring at Vincent with a look that questioned why he was going out.

"you'll get yourself killed, take that knife or something." Kallisto yawned, a long yawn before he leaned back and prepared to sleep. Quickly falling asleep.

Vincent paused, turning back 180° and taking a knife with him "Before anyone asks I'm going to go piss." he spoke, not wanting to hear questions about where he is going and why. Seto glanced at the others, 'won't it be better if you all worried even a little?' he questioned the others in his mind before he turned back to Vincent, only to realise he left.

Remaining quiet, he got up and stood near the door so that he could open the door and shut it after Vincent enters.

"No need to worry too much, I think he'll be alright..." a yawn cut Esna off before she continued "as long as he pisses quietly..." she rubbed her eyes. She was feeling sleepy, but she wasn't sure if she should sleep... not sure if anyone should be sleeping soundly since there is literally something similar to a zombie apocalypse happening.

Ceasar, he was awfully quiet. Which made Esna turn to his direction, only to see him sleeping like the others. Maybe she was just worrying too much about the situation outside and should sleep like others? "Seto, when Vincent comes, you know what to do... lock it and don't anyone enter or get out until everyone is up..." Blocking another yawn she layed down "I'm sleeping..."

Seto replied with a simple alright and waited for Vincent's arrival. Once he arrived, the bus door was shut yet again, and it will only open the next day when everyone is up.

The two, Seto and Vincent also followed the others as they fell asleep.

The morning waited for them to open their eyes and begin their adventure looking if anyone is alive, if any of their family members is alive and waiting...

The never changing red sky slightly brightens as the morning comes, it became more of a darkish cherry colour unlike the crimson red it used to be. It may change again when the night hits.

Hours passed, many hours... Four out of seven were awake and was freshening themselves by rubbing their face or doing something to keep themselves busy.

Ceasar cleaned his already clean glasses just to stay fresh, his lenses were almost shining due to to the amount time Ceasar cleaned them in a minute. Lavi was awake along with Vincent, the two sat next to eachother since they slept close.

Esna waiting for the others to wake up or freshen up, Kallisto who had fallen on the ground but didn't wake up, Vincent who was only half awake—almost falling asleep again and Mel. Though they did wake up just after a few minutes.

With everyone awake, the adventure to look for their family members alive will soon start, and if anyone is alive which is not exactly their plan.

It didn't take too long for them to be grouped, with each going in different directions.

"So... we'll be separated...?" Ceasar asked just to be sure—although it was said clearly by Esna that they will be.

Esna nodded, she was about to repeat what they planned about earlier but the urge to go and pee told her no. "Seto, you tell them I'm going to piss..."

Seto gave a thumbs up as he turned to the rest, he repeated the plan and where each group will be going. "Group A, Kallisto and Mel will only go around the neighborhood." he paused to clear his throat before he continued "Group B, Vincent, Lavi, and Ceasar will just wander around—"

Lavi raised her hand, hair tied in a messy bun. "What we do if we come across those... fiends, like a huge number of them?" Hugging her knees, she pressed a cheek on her right knee.

Vincent was still the same, grumpy with his hands crossed while standing besides Lavi who was sitting on the bus seat. "We kill them of course-"

"Oh! If that happens... call me as well, I wanna fight some fiends..." Kallisto grinned ear to ear, he didn't really get the chance to fight any and he was really fascinated by fighting the fiends. "You will won't you? Vinnnncent, Laaavinaa and Ceeaser...?

Eyebrows twitching for a second, Vincent replied to Kallisto "No. And surely you will be surrounded by those fiends in no time, you can fight them then."

Seto just stood there, waiting for them to stop talking so he could continue what he was saying. He really didn't like Kallisto and Vincent bickering through their minds.

"...Forget about those two, you can continue." Mel groaned as she stood up and walked to the driver seat, behind Seto.

With that, Seto continued "so... if that does happen, you guys can call us but only after you are able to get away—just enter a tall building nearby and close all the gates/doors of the staircase behind you."

He put that topic aside and continued, he looked over to Vincent and Kallisto only to see them still bickering, Kallisto with a wide smile while Vincent had a frown. "Hahaha, I really wanted to be in the group with you Vincent but I'll stay as I am—according to the plans for her." Giggling, Kallisto crossed his arms.

A footstep, another one, the door slowly opened. Everyone immediately put their eyes on the door, kind of worried, but it was just Esna.

"...Uhm... don't stare at me like that and let's get going."
