Children of the Atom: Chapter Six

Josh's P.O.V

After Layla killed the mutated hellhound, We decided to move, and I looked at this little girl named Kyra, and James seemed to be offering her a help.

"Come on!" I told my friends. "Let's move out!"

So my friends move out, so that we were safe from other mutated creatures. But not all mutated creatures were evolving to something more powerful. Medusa evolved, but she loses her stony glare, which makes her a lot easier to kill.

Meanwhile, we were halted because the girl named Kyra kept halting all of us back. She doesn't want to go, because she is afraid that more mutated creatures are going to attack.

As a leader, I have to convince her that everything will be alright. I approached Kyra and held her shoulders. "Kyra, look. I know that you're scared and such, but if we do not move on, there will be a lot more mutated monsters that will attack us." I gave her a nice warm hug. She just stared at me blankly. "It's okay, let's go." I said to her, before turning back and leading the way.

I stood on top of the cliff and looked at the surrounding ruins. Esther, James, Gerald, Layla, Alex and Evan were waiting for me to give the next order. Meanwhile, Kyra came to me and a look on her face that says I'm scared, let's get out of here!

"Just a second...." My voice trailed off when I see my old friend, whom I recognise as Sabre Robson, son of Andrew Robson, and another guy. They are coming towards us but strays when he had already walked long enough. Time to signal my friends. I iluminated my right hand in a ball of light and shot a flare with my right hand into the sky.

That got their attention. Sabre and the other guy looked at our direction and waved at me. I waved at them too, but as I were about to meet them, Esther quickly blocked my way.

"Josh, do you know who they are?" Esther asked.

"Of course!" I said. "They're my friends."

"How did you meet them?" Esther began to ask questions.

"Long story, now let's meet them! They are going to help us!"

As Sabre is close to us, I quickly hugged him. "Man, I never seen you for awhile, Joshy!"

"Yeah." I began to walk towards him. Then I noticed that I haven't met the other guy yet. "Now who is this guy?" I asked.

"Oh, sorry I haven't introduced him yet." Sabre said. "Josh, this is Nate, Nate Rivers."

I shook hands with Nate.

I turned back, and the others stared at us blankly. It appears that I had to introduce them.

"Guys, this is Sabre Robson, one of my friends from the Godslingers, and this is Nate."

Esther, James, Gerald, Layla, Alex, Evan shook hands with Nate and Sabre. I think we should search for more people, but we don't have enough food to survive.

But it turns out that we didn't need to search for food. James is trying to grow plants from the charred soil around us, and it growed successfully.

I think he is growing a generous amount of potatoes, because potatoes grow underground. As he pulls the root out of the ground, the amount of the potatoes that he grew is enormous, enough for all of us to eat.

James divided the portions. Every people get even portions, which is about one handful of potatoes. Layla provided the plates that she took from her backpack, and then she handed each and one of us a plastic plate, even though I'm sure that she didn't store the plates on her backpack.

James gave each one of us a handful of tomato, and he continued to give us a handful of potatoes as he tried to grew more. I ate the potatoes in my plate, and it's really yummy! James saved the other potatoes in his backpack in case we needed another, and we decided to move on.

As we move on, I tried to think what this place is used to be. Beautiful cities with busy people all around.
