Maria was rushing through the dark streets and was heading to tall radio building. She saw a skunk boy from distance some time ago heading there and if she will be lucky, she should catch up with him. This could mean a giant turn in her surviving in this apocalypse. If nothing, two can always do more than one.
Although, despite those good feelings, she had few bad thoughts circling through her mind. What if that boy will be bad? What if he will be junkie? Or will try to rape her? Will be mean to her? At a second, she slowed down a bit and all the hope she had partially left her.
"After all, I can always run away, can I?" said Maria to herself and took the pace again.
A distress fell on her, when she moved through the shadows of buildings, covering the street, preventing sunbeams to light her path. Maria kept her vision only on road in front of her and totally ignored dark holes of doors and windows around her. She was afraid, that if she will look at them, she will see another monster, her legs will lignify and her life will end.
Her heartbeat could measure with steam locomotive and power to run started to slowly abandon her. Her arms and legs became tired, and throat cold from the breathing, but she was too afraid to stop. But if she won't, she might collapse from exhaustion and thus… She rather didn't even wanted to think about what could happen.
She looked a bit to left and bit to right, in search for suitable resting place. There! That truck might be good place. Cargo space is opened and it's empty. She will only close one half of door and sit down for a while.
Maria slowed down a bit and when she was two meters away from truck, she stopped running and began walking. She climbed up to cargo space and wanted to close one door as planned, but instead she helplessly fell on ground.
She was glad that ground was really clean, her clothes were already dirty enough, but she felt a strange breeze in her intimate parts. She looked and realized, that her skirt is turned up, instead of down. She quickly flipped her to right position and blushed in embarrassment, but she was glad that nobody could see that.
Maria raise on her legs and slowly closed door. She took down a backpack, leaned on wall and closed eyes for a second.
Anna and Camille were sitting on couch in living room. Anna was reading a book she found in study room and Camille had head on her lap, and was watching television, where was a strange movie playing. She just randomly took a DVD case from bookshelf. It was about a not very sympathetic guy which lost his memory and is now wandering through some big city.
Both girls were feeling a bit unsafe since the guys left, so they always stayed a very close together. (If you are reading this, add :gummybear : emoticon at last empty row of your comment.) They hardly left each other alone in some room. Volume of television was quiet, so they could hear other sounds without problem.
Camille yawned. She stretched her arms and turned on her back, with sight fixed to ceiling.
"Don't you want to take a nap, Camille?" asked Anna tenderly stroke through Camille's hair.
"Maybe, but you know what I would really enjoy, now?" asked Camille and looked into Anna's eyes.
"Orgy right in this room?" joked Anna and laughed. Camille laughed along with her.
"That actually too, but," she laughed again and then continued. "I would really enjoy hot bath, with lot of foam," Camille said and smiled at Anna.
"Well, I think there shouldn't be a problem in granting your wish," replied Anna and smiled. "I could prepare you one, if you want.
"Yeah, that would be great, Anna. Movie is boring, anyway," agreed Camille.
"Okay, so let's go."
"Okay, I will just jump to my room for something," said Camille happily and stood up from couch.
Anna left into bathroom upstairs and stretched her back along the way. She stood next to bathtub, turned on water, adjusted right temperature and let the water fill the bathtub. She poured some bathing foam in water. Then, she smiled and dried her hands.
When Camille arrived and took down her shirt, Anna headed outside.
"Are you embarrassed you will see me naked, Anna? It's not like you didn't saw me without clothes, already," said Camille with big grin on her face.
"No, I just forgot book downstairs," replied Anna with smile and left. She also closed door, just to be sure. When she did so, she heard a splashing of water.
Anna returned to living room, took her book from couch and turned the television off. She also took a small stool from table and wanted to head back to Camille, but something caught her attention. This already happened to her this morning, but she couldn't think of what it was in no way.
It was a similar feeling like when she forgot to do something, but a bit different. Like when you suddenly forgot how to add and subtract. She was now sure she forgot something big – really big – but just couldn't remember what it was.
She looked out a window, shook of her confusion and left upstairs, back to bathroom.
"What did you found?" asked Alfred.
"A sexshop… Come and see, you idiot," I opposed. Alfred finally left the car and stood next to me.
"What is it?"
"Look over there," I said and pointed with mi finger at that big green thing.
"Is it really it, what I think it is?"
"You think it's UAZ?"
"Yes, I do," said Alfred and turned on me with smile.
"Then you are thinking right," I looked at him, also smiling. "I am driving!" I shouted out, mantled over fence and started towards the jeep.
"Idiot," clenched through teeth quietly Alfred with smile and started chasing me.
We ran on sidewalk, racing to green military jeep and feeling a bit happier, then we were a while ago. Our chances on survival jumped a bit higher, now, as I was sure that this vehicle will work without problem.
Alfred was faster than me, so he got to jeep sooner. I wanted to move him away, but he quickly sat inside and shut door behind himself. I leaned my hands on dirty window, but Alfred stick out his tongue on him.
"I will have your ass for this, tonight," I prophesied, walked around jeep and sat on passenger seat. Alfred was already trying to start the engine, but result was same like at the previous car. At least now, I was sure of the cause.
"Beat it," I said and tapped on controls. On one, hand was at lower edge of red field, with letter Е upon it.
"So we are out of benzine," observed Alfred and nodded his head.
"Yeah, but that shouldn't be problem. We could simply drag benzine from other cars to canister and feed this guy," I said.
"That should work, we just need to find some tube," replied Alfred and made a gesture in air.
"Fine, I will take a look to this house and you can to the other one," I suggested and steeped outside.
"Okay," agreed Alfred. He jumped out and headed to his house. I did the same.
I entered through main entrance. House was dark, dusty and creepily silent. I stood in hall for a few second, to adapt eyes to darkness and listen. It was quiet – too much quiet, like the satellite city in which this house stands.
I needed to get to garage, there should be what I need. I left the hall and entered what I thought is living room. Then I moved to kitchen, where were three doors. I tried all of them one by one. Behind first was a hallway with door to bathroom and pantry. Behind second was hiding a veranda and behind third – hankering garage. I made a single step and then totally froze. My heart started to bounce like wild and cold sweat poured my whole body.
I heard some voice. Beautiful, yet scary. It was angelic singing of a little girl, singing a scary song.
What will you do with ugly neighbor?

I love how you gave an update on everything that was going on. Wonderful job, Robbie.
But... Where is your gummy bear, I wrote about?
Okay, here you go:
Did you noticed him in the text?
Yes, I did.
Then why didn't you made him right in first comment?
I must have forgotten. Sorry...
