Worlds Over, Time to Die. Nothing Left but our Souls Inside.

Today I did the unthinkable…
I know it was a rule that we all swore to obey but I couldn’t help it, I had to know if my suspicions were true… so I read Mike’s journal entries.
I thought that knowing his thoughts would make me feel better. I was mistaken. What was he up to? I had no clue, all I know is that it’s bad and I needed to stop him. He was not my little brother anymore. He is no better than the dead walking among us. Actually he scares me more than those lifeless creatures. I’d never thought I’d feel that way about my own brother. To be honest I shouldn’t be worrying about this. Brother or no brother I don’t have the time. I needed to find Kellin and tell him what was going on.
We were in another abandoned house. Where? I’m not sure at this point I just no we were taking shelter here for a night or two. When I finally found Kellin he was in what would be his sons room for the night. Liam looked obviously upset about something, but I had no time for compassion. “Kellin, I need to talk to you.” He looked at me from the corner of the bed where he was sitting. “Can it wait?” I shook my head. ”Not really. It’s Urgent.” He hugged Liam and whispered something to him before walking into the hallway with me. “This better be important Vic.” His hands were placed on his hips. “Trust me it is.” I told him.
I pulled out the journal. “Read this.” I handed him the journal with Mike’s second to last entry opened. Kellin gave me a questioning look. “Just read it.” I had to convince him. His eyes scanned across the page. I waited anxiously for him to finish. “What is he planning?” He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. “Beats the hell out of me. He never actually mentions what he is going to do.” Kellin read over it again and flipped the pages to his most recent entry. “He’s giving us signs?! What fucking game is he trying to play with us?! Kellin yelled and threw the journal at the wall. His curiosity turned to anger. “This is bullshit, what are we going do!” I stared down at the journal just thinking. “I don’t know.” I said shaking my head. “Where the hell is he?” “I don’t know. I don’t think he’s here right now but I could be wrong. I haven’t really been looking for him lately.”
Kellin paused to think for a minute. “This ends here.” He started walking away and I grabbed his arm. “What are you going to do?!” I asked him. “I’m telling everyone were leaving tonight. With out Mike.” I let go of Kellin. “We can’t just do that Kellin!” He glared at me. “Why the hell not?!” I looked down for a moment and looked back at him. “We can’t just leave Mike here. He’s my brother.” He looked at me in complete disbelief. I couldn’t really believe myself either. “Vic are you fucking kidding me right now you would be out of your mind to want to stay with him right now. It’s not safe!” I sighed. “You’re right Kellin. I know you are I just don’t want to believe your right. I can’t lose anymore family. I can’t take it.” I felt myself mentally slipping away like I did when dad died. “Yea well I guess were in the same boat because I don’t plan on loosing any more of my family any time soon either.” Kellin had gotten closer to me to make sure I understood what he was saying. “Lucky for you, you can’t lose what’s already gone.” I felt tears forming in my eyes. “It’s too late for him. He isn’t stable and we are not safe staying with him. He will kill all of us.” I slid down the wall I was leaning on right to the floor. “What am I suppose to tell mama. She won’t be able to take it.” He shook his head. “We tell her the truth and she’s going to have to deal with it.” I was holding back tears. I couldn’t deal with this. “You need to pull yourself together and get up.” I didn’t even have a chance to get myself up before Kellin pulled me off the ground. “Come on. We got to talk to the others. I heard a door open and we both turned around. “Dad. What’s going on?” He asked concerned. Kellin turned to me. I need to finish my conversation with my son, and then I’m going to tell Katelynn to start packing supplies.” I thought for a moment. “Okay and I’m going to talk to Danielle.” He nodded. “Then we’ll go from there.” He said before taking Liam back into his room.
I walked down to the basement where I knew Danielle would be. At least this once was nice the last house we were in had an unfinished basement and I had to beg her to stay out of it. When I reached the bottom of the steps I saw Danielle talking to Mike. I felt my blood run through my veins as I clenched my fists. I was no longer scared or sad towards my brother. I was ready to kill him. “Mike get the fuck out of here now.” They both looked at me. I tried to contain myself so I just pointed to the door in motion for him to leave. He stared at me long and hard realizing that I was not playing. “Okay. Fair enough. I’m sorry.” He got up and left. I didn’t move until I heard the door close at the top of the stairs.
I walked up to Danielle and sat next to her. Nothing was said for several moments. I still wasn’t sure if I had totally forgiven her yet, but one thing was for sure is that I still care about her so much and I wasn’t going to let Mike do anything to her. “You need to stay away from him.” I told her bluntly. “Were not going to do anything again Vic. You don’t have to worry.” I shook my head. “That’s not what I’m talking about.” I turned towards her. “You need to stay away from him he’s dangerous. To himself and others.” She looked at me like I had two heads. “What are you talking about?” She asked which was a fair question. “I read Mike’s entries in the journal. He’s planning to do something bad and we don’t know what.” She looked at me. “Who is we?” “Kellin and I are the only ones that know what’s going on, now you and Katelynn as well. We are packing up everyone tonight and leaving with out Mike. I need you to understand what’s going on and except this. I need you to be strong and help out, especially with Alysha.” She looked at me silently. “Please darling?” I asked her. I brushed her hair out of her face with my hand. “Why do you need my help?” She asked me looking away. “Because you are Alysha’s best friend and she isn’t going to want to listen to anyone but you.” She didn’t say anything so I continued again. “Also because I need you.” She looked at me. “I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side in this mess besides you. You’re what keeps me sane, and I don’t know how I could live without you.” She stood up and started pacing the room. “I thought you were still mad at me.” Her arms were crossed as she stared to the floor walking around. It’s what she did when she was nervous. “Mad is not a good word for what I felt and what I guess I’m still feeling.” I paused. “I’m more confused than anything. I don’t know what I did to deserve what you did to me and I coped with it the only way I could. So if I came off mad than I’m sorry, but you can’t tell me that you wouldn’t be shocked if I was.” I told her. “She shrugged her shoulders continuing her pacing. “Darling come here and sit down, your making me dizzy.” She sat down right next to me. It’s the closest we have been in forever. “Can we put this behind us sweetie?” I asked her. She shrugged. “It’s going to be kind of hard when there’s a baby constantly screaming. Isn’t it?” I shook my head. “Danielle as far as I’m concerned that baby is mine and even though I am terrified to have a child that small in this crazy world, I will be here for you and I’ll do what ever it takes to give you and this child a happy life. I will be the best father I can be for him…or her which ever it is and I will love you both until the day I stop breathing.” She stared at me and didn’t say anything. I put my arm around her and pulled her in. She wrapped her arms around me. “ We’ll make this work. I promise” I kissed the top of her head.
It had been so long since we had been that close to each other that it almost felt weird, but at the same time I haven’t been as happy as I was in that moment for a long time. However I knew we had to get moving so we separated and we went up to stair to then figure out where everyone was and to tell Kellin that Mike was in the house that’d we’d have to wait for him to either go to sleep or leave the house again. Kellin asked me for the journal so I’m about to give it to him. I just really hope everything goes well, I don’t know what Mike plans on doing or when he’s going to do it so we need to figure out how to get out of here without him knowing. To be honest if it comes down to it I will kill Mike, Kellin’s right nobody should be getting hurt because of that asshole, and I’m his brother so if anyone should stop him it should be me, and it will be.
