Chapter: 4

After regrouping back to the library I was bombarded by questions from the others.

My mind was still a bit hazy from the battle and I couldn't answer a single thing.

The battle kept playing out in my head,

the terrifying giant's life was extinguished just like that.

Just the thought made me dazed ,when I first saw the goblin warrior

I saw an unbeatable existence , a being that could make others feel like ants in it's presence

but still that type of powerful creature was returned to the earth just the same.

I couldn't expell such thoughts from my head, I bit my teeth and clenched my fist ,

I feel an untamed desire to get stronger deep from my soul.

I had to get stronger or I will die in this hell hole without anyone even knowing.

This afternoon Mr.Larson had called on for a meeting ,

Like before everyone was still intimidated of the ex-soldier thus no one was missing from the meeting when I got there.

Matt and the others waved me towards them ,as I walked to the sits I couldn't

help but notice the quietness and the soft whispers I felt like an animal in the zoo

With everyone's gazes.

I sighed“ I guess I am becoming popular , the guys I saved must have spread the news of me saving them.”

It didn't take long for the meeting to start ,while listening I silently opened my status

I hadn't checked it until now but I knew I was about to get a few surprises

My body shook uncontrollably looking at my stats window

I was so entranced that I didn't even here my name being called.

A nudge to my side woke me from my daze ,I unwilling brushed the stats screen away

and shifted my gaze to the speaker.

“ David like I said I would like you to help everyone get used to the situation ” Mr.Larson gestured towards me

Although I didn't what what was said I somehow got the gist of it

I stood not knowing what to say although I knew I had to offer them my help

somewhere deep at the back of my head I wanted to just leave and be free from all the responsibility.

Looking at their hopeful eyes I shook my head although my desire to escape was strong

I knew I didn't have it in me to abondednd them and live them to their deaths.

As an orphan I didn't anyone to depend on, I knew the bitter feeling being alone

that's why I couldn't do it, we should first secure the school and set up base

I knew without strength to fight the monsters we would be nothing but flocks of sheep.

I nodded towards the vice-principle causing him to break out a rare smile

If I was going to do this I had to do it right.I began by telling them my plan

Altogether the survivors amounted to around 40 people

I decided that everyone should take part in clearing out the monsters

I divided everyone into groups of three lead by a team leader.

At any given time At least three teams were to hunt down monsters for efficient clearing of monsters.

Problems of food and water were non existent

Food was really available in the school cafeteria and could probably last a year

Water was the same , the taps still worked so we weren't going to be having shortage of water any time soon.

Suddenly somebody interjected

A tall blond guy with an ear piercing shouted loudly

“What the hell are you talking about ! Clearing the goblins and all that ” he snorted and continued

“ That's childish we are getting the hell out of here ” the two other guys at his side nodded nervously as they stole glances at the vice principle.

Mr.Larson was quite at first after thinking about it for a while he shook his hand and turned his back.

The blond guy sighed without looking back the three rushed out the library with make shift weapons in hand.

Although I was still a bit distracted thinking of the other two reluctant faces

I continued with my plan , I advised everyone to get a weapon to protect themselves.

Thinking back I almost forgot, I rushed back to my resting area and came back shortly

in my hand I held the 10 iron spears I obtained from the goblins.

The metallic sheen and the green coating from the blood caused others to feel dread

I walked back to the group, handing each one of them one.

Matt and the others were like small kids , they swung the spears around with sparkling eyes

When the other survivors saw the seen they threw us dissatisfied glances but I couldn't care less.

I had risked my life to obtain them so I should be the to do with them as I like.

I took one from the remaining 5 and handed the others to the vice-principle

I am sure he would distribute them accordingly, seeing me hand them over the other survivors gained a bit of hope and rushed towards Mr.Larson

The tall man was quite intimidating he only had to shoot them a look and they were scattered like the wind not daring to look at his direction.

The survivors went back to their work and continued working hard making their weapons, they knew that this was their only way of survival.

No one had the the time to be occupied by my action,

They were like me striving to survive.

Looking at them I felt a bit guilty, well I should work extra hard tomorrow to teach them to best of my ability.

That was my first day in the apocalypse , it was a hectic day filled with eventful moments everyone had gone through the cruel beginning but they survived and made it out alive.

That night it finally settled in everyone's minds, the world had completely changed and it seemed like it would never be seen again.

The night was filled with the thunderous roars of beasts, but it didn't seem odd but fit perfectly like some sort of background to the first night of apocalypse.

Looking at the stary sky with countless stars that littered it I knew I had to survive..

SURVIVE AND LIVE ON!
