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

We hadn't gotten far before we had to settle into another nearly pristine looking home on our way to DC. All these houses seemed untouched, the only thing determining that they were abandoned was the overgrown grass covering sides of houses and consuming cars that have since been left behind.

We had all broken apart in these recent weeks of the new year. It's like we had formed alliances against each other and today, something happened that made my protective instincts kick into high gear; no more room for the compassionate guy I used to be.

I'll explain:

I was sitting in a room that my son, Liam, would be staying in for the next day or so, He has changed so much and I'm so sorry that he couldn't have a normal childhood, instead he had to watch his brother and sister turn into monsters and help take care of his mother while I was away. I could tell something was bothering him so I had say him down to ask him what's wrong and he just started tearing up before I could even say anything. He was so distraught and before I could even try to comfort him, Vic opened the door.

“Kellin, I need to talk to you.” He said and I looked up at him, now really wasn't the time.

“Can it wait?” I said and he just shook his head and said ”Not really. It’s urgent.”

I sighed and gave Liam a hug and whispered that I would be right back before heading out into the hallway with Vic to see what could possibly be so important.

“This better be important Vic.” I said with a slightly annoyed tone.

“Trust me it is.” He said and then handed me the journal. I looked at him skeptically when he handed the open book to me, it was marked on Mike's last entry. “Read this.” he said. I didn't want to, we weren't supposed to read other peoples entries. That was the whole point of the journal. To get our thoughts out without worrying about what everyone else would think.

“Just read it.” He said and I reluctantly let my eyes scan the page.
All I could think while reading this is how it all seemed to make sense; Mike acting strange all of a sudden and apologizing and whatnot. He was simply planning something the whole time.

“What is he planning?” I said and watched Vic shrug his shoulders, “Beats the hell out of me. He never actually mentions what he is going to do.” he added.

I tried to connect things in my head but I realized he was simply giving hints and that alone enraged me. No one is going to play games with me and my family.

“He’s giving us signs?! What fucking game is he trying to play with us?!" I yelled and tossed the book to the wall. “This is bullshit, what are we going do!” I said in a slight panic. I would do whatever it takes to keep my family safe. Vic just stared at the little black book that held so many secrets, I could see that he himself was distraught about it too, a blank, slightly pained stare upon his face.

“Where the hell is he?” I said through my teeth, I was done with his shit.

“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.” He said and I shook my head and looked Vic dead in the eye, “This ends here.” I said before starting to walk away.

Vic quickly grabbed my arm, worry abundant in his features, “What are you going to do?!” I'm sure he probably thought I was going to kick some ass; not yet.

“I’m telling everyone we're leaving tonight." I paused and looked at him. "Without Mike.” He looked pretty shocked but this was the only way we can keep everyone safe from whatever Mike may be planning. He let go of my arm and glared at me.

“We can’t just do that Kellin!” He said.

“Why the hell not?!” I yelled and watched his head fall then rise again; I knew what was coming next.

“We can’t just leave Mike here. He’s my brother.” I rolled my eyes in disbelief. All I could think was how he could possibly want to stay around a person who could be potentially planning to harm us. Friend or not, sibling or not; I won't be staying here to be fucked in the end.

“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 said a bit angrily and he 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.” He said and I shook my head with a small sarcastic smile.

“Yea well I guess we're in the same boat because I don’t plan on losing any more of my family any time soon either.” I said snidely. All he ever seemed to think about lately was himself. There are a dozen more people in this group, not everything is about him.

I got close to him, making sure he would get the hint to hear me clearly, “Lucky for you, you can’t lose what’s already gone.” It may have been a little heartless but he needed a reality check. I could see that it had hurt him but I had to do this.

“It’s too late for him. He isn’t stable and we are not safe staying with him. He will kill all of us.” He was having a breakdown again and I was honestly sick of it.

“What am I supposed to tell mama. She won’t be able to take it.” He said and I felt a little pang in my heart for her but she would understand.

“We tell her the truth and she’s going to have to deal with it.” I said and watched as his emotion almost physically flew by him as he slid down the wall.

“You need to pull yourself together, get up.” I said and reached my hand down to him. He wasn't responding so I just pulled him up.

“Come on. We got to talk to the others." I said just before the door behind us opened revealing my red eyed son. poor little guy.

“Dad. What’s going on?” He asked concerned and I felt bad for making him probably worry more than he needed to.

"I need to finish my conversation with my son, and then I’m going to tell Katelynn to start packing supplies.” I whispered to Vic sternly and he paused for a moment, “Okay and I’m going to talk to Danielle.” he said and I nodded, “Then we’ll go from there." I said before taking Liam back into his room.


It's time to find out what's wrong with my little guy now, he hasn't talked much since we've found each other and that has made me nervous but I just assumed it was shock. Maybe he'll finally open up.

It's time to get my shit together. I have to watch my back and protect my family now. No more time to let anything slip up. No one will ever hurt my family, nobody.

'No more Mr. Nice Guy.'

Notes

Well friends, it looks like I'm in the middle of a little war between Rose and Devyn, though it's not much a of a war, it's more like a rebellion but who cares right? lol Anyways, Kellin has more to worry about than just Mike and Vic. His son is coming into play now and something's wrong. What is it? You'll find out eventually. Katelynn will also be coming into play very soon(I will be writing a few chapters in her pov soon to explain some things that only she knows about)


Anywho, I hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll see you all soon!
