Chapter Six.

Rose

My head hurt, the sounds around me ringing in and out. Quieter and louder and then quieter again. I’d banged my head on the side of the door when the truck had gone into the building, and I could feel the pain of whiplash and maybe even a light concussion running through my body. It made my entire body feel too weightless, too hollow. And what I needed to be was heavy, firm to the ground, and mentally present. Otherwise, how could I survive this?

I groaned and grabbed my head, knowing I needed to pull myself together and get moving. Sam was still talking to me, but I was having trouble focusing on anything but the booming in my ears as the world shook around us. I felt the thunder of an explosion running through the ground and my hands automatically gripped on to Sam, wondering what had happened.

The gunshots stopped momentarily and I listened to Barrett and Nolan going at it as Elias opened his backpack and pulled out some weapons.

“We need to go,” I said, my voice sounding pathetically weak. I felt sick, nausea dancing through my insides. No one paid any attention to me so I said it louder, dragging myself to my feet. “We need to go!”

Barrett stopped and looked at me. “I agree—all talk and no action makes Barrett a dull boy.” He smirked, grabbing my axe from the truck and handing it to me.

I didn’t thank him. I just took the offering and nodded as I tried to get my brain to focus again.

“Rose, are you okay?” Sam asked, her hands hovering like she wanted to help in some way. It was too late for that. I didn’t want her help anymore.

“We need to go,” I replied, and pushed away from the truck to move closer to Nolan.

Nolan, who I could trust.

The only person I could trust.

Elias was crouched down behind the crashed truck but now he started moving away from it, back towards the parking lot. We all followed suit, like a singular wavelength was passing through our brains. And that wavelength screamed “safety.”

Past the building. The water tower in the distance. I prayed to God the sniper was no longer in his perch.

We moved around the derelict building this time, not through it. Elias was beelining towards another vehicle. It looked like more of a tight squeeze, but comfort wasn’t exactly a priority right now. We continued to follow him, the sounds of angry voices and screaming coming back from the waterpark. I winced, wondering if some of those screams were coming from the women Nathan housed. Or were there more people like those I’d tried to save yesterday: trapped in cages before they were forced to fight for their lives for the amusement of men like Nathan and Charlie. They were innocent people being hurt by God knows what in there…monsters, men, or the huge fire I could see burning from inside the waterpark.

Elias climbed into the driver’s seat, Barrett into the front passenger, and the rest of us piled into the back.
