It's not time to sit on my bed! Liam… I need to hurry.
(Few hours later)
Nobody want a story of riding a rusted truck for hours.
The building looked at least a little better with the sun up.
Unlike the warm weather, inside of the building were… freezing.
We didn't need to step in farther since Liam were right in front of us holding William… something's not right… Liam is too fine…
(Liam: is a broken ankle looking fine for you?)
Like a string being pulled, a memory…
…
…
Liam isn't the one… that was supposed to die today.
…
…
Dean… where is he?!
I looked back… but, Dean wasn't there… he was here just a moment ago. No… no…
You lied to me!
[ your fault for trusting me]

(Dean's POV)
Where is everyone? I swear they were right in front of me…
I flinched, hearing a sound as if someone was sobbing.
"Mom /&@;$*]m… $:&[&.*"
Just right by the corner, sat a… sat one of the monster, I was very alarmed… but it seemed to be a kid.
The boy slowly turned his head, "mom?"
Obviously, I'm not his mom. "Are you lost?" Don't look at me like that, I know that was a weird question to ask a infected.
"You$}&}^*#)]+;* understand? $&{"
Ah… "I do understand little bits and pieces"
Next thing, the kid said something I never expected: "can $/*:); tell ;^*:$; fairytale ^.+/$:& ?"
"Sure?" The kid don't look that dangerous…
I sat down next to him and told him some stories I know. "There once was a girl named show white, the kindhearted Snow White shared her apple with everyone." This story was making me tear up… Mia used to love this story… even though she did give me a weird look, that probably meant she liked it.
"Tell $.+]$:+ h.^*]^: more?"
The kid's voice were exited, wanting to know more.
"There was a boy named Jack, he had this magical beanstalk. Jack tried to climb the beanstalk, but the uplifting air current couldn't hold him, so he fell down and died." Soon as I finished the story, the kid looked at me with a look telling me: more!
"Uh… I'm too thirsty to talk more-" I tried to make a excuse, but the kid gave me a bottle of water out of nowhere… I drank a sip and continued. "Once upon a time, Cinderella was getting abused by her stepmother and her stepsisters. They even forbid her to attend the upcoming ball. The poor Cinderella asked her stepsisters: 'why are you not allowing me to attend the ball?'
Her stepsister replied: 'I didn't want a mer prince to take you away from me.'"
"So? What happened after that?" The kid said.
Weird… when did I understand him just fine?
"After of that… is premium. You have to pay… for the payment, how about you tell me why a kid like you is crying, all the way here?"
The boy seemed to be troubled by that request, but soon opened his mouth. "A group of monsters attacked our camp… and mom… pushed me as a bait, fleeting fast as she could…"
I was speechless… "what happened to her?"
The kid ignored my question, suddenly standing up and asked me, "you're trying to abandon me too, are you?"
I stood up after him. "Wha-?" The scenery around me started getting blurry… that water… it was this kid's tear wasn't it? And the monster's tear… infect others… that's why they get stuck in their most tragic memory, so they can cry and infect… I just drank a bottle of tears? …a bit gross.
The scene around me was getting darker and darker, meaning I'm turning fully into one. Before I lost my consciousness, the kid said something.
"You asked me what happened after that? That women drunk the same thing as you. It was quite an enjoyment to watch the surviving people killing her. Oh, I won't let that happen to you… you can stay with me here forever." The kid smiled…
can I curse?
Fuck
