Chapter 12

The group exits outside going the way that Exner pointed and sees a mountain of ashes and embers with a few rest of human bodies still, it seems the place where they burned the bodies of the dead, and Ofelia crumbles crying seeing it with Daniel trying to be strong supporting her.

After crossing the place they leave the compound from the same place they entered, coming back safely into the underground parking lot in the building beside the compound.

Not even a moment to react after taking their first steps inside, Travis who was in front was surprised by a walker who attacked him stealthily.

The group was surprised at the walker not expecting them in this building. Travis barely got to block him using the shotgun as a shield with both hands, Madison who had a clean shot in the narrow passage with all of them in there, didn't have one in front of her so she shot the walker dead.

Paul took a peek at his back and saw that no walkers were coming their way, only Daniel with Ofelia making it safe, so he moved between his sisters and the rest going to the front as he yelled waking up the shocked Travis that was blocking the entrance. "Come on! Move"

In the open place where they left their vehicles not even a moment and they saw the place infested with at least sixty walkers with their vehicles minus one SUV. Paul barked to them "Turned people all over the place, defend yourself as you can."

Paul then started killing them fastly using all the ammo left, he got to kill fifteen, adding the rest of the group they killed more than half.

He engaged the walkers remaining in close combat with the bayonet alongside Travis who took the axe from Chris hand as he calmed when killing them with the shotgun.

Not long after with all the group effort they killed what remained still moving on sight.

"We got to kill them all or at least those who were here, remain careful, maybe there is more around," Paul warns them while still searching for some lagged walker to appear.

"Girls, get inside the humvee and close the doors, is safer in there, now," Paul orders his sisters along with Andrea and Amy, and he covers his mother from the side just in case, being more relieved at the fewer problems.

"Where's the car? we have one missing" Madison asks seeing they have one less, the one where Daniel came along with Ofelia.

"We need to leave from here fast, the dead out there must have heard all the noise we made and they will come." Daniel warns them as he breaks the window from a car beside him getting inside to bypass the starter while ordering his daughter to get inside."Ofelia, get inside the car."

"Hey, guys, there is one half-eaten soldier here," Paul yells to them as he stabs him in the head and pulls the M4 from his body alongside his body armor with 4 magazines, helmet, and pistol sidearm.

"The soldiers, they must have taken the SUV, probably having run from the compound to here while they were being chased and this poor bastard was probably the bait for the rest to leave or something."

"Come, Chris, get inside," Liza says to her son, urging him inside the truck and checking him again to see if he was fine, seeing he had blood on him killing a pair of walkers with the axe before Travis took it.

"We must go now," Daniel says after seeing his daughter starting to crumble inside the car.

"Salazar." Andrew suddenly appears from where they came with a pistol pointing at him surprising the group.

Paul instantly gets in front of Madison and Nick, the rest is safe inside the Humvee. And cover them while pointing to Andrew with the Beretta he picked, as the rest of the weapons don't have a bullet left, if he tries to point in their direction he will kill him.

"Andy?" Ofelia tries to talk to him from inside the car, after seeing that it was him.

"Hey." Ofelia tries to look amicable as she speaks.

"Ofelia." Daniel tries to make her daughter reason the situation, as he knows Andrew wasn't here for a friendly encounter.

"Andrew, put the gun down. You don't have to do this, okay?" Ofelia pleads trying to reason with him.

"What are you doing? Just put the gun down. Andrew, don't do this. Please, please, please." Ofelia pleads to him again. "Andy."

Daniel sees the intentions in his eyes and gets scared "No!" yells but Andrew shoots Ofelia through the car windows, but he misses it as Paul shoots him in the head just the moment Daniel yells missing Ofelia who was sitting in front of the car but still destroyed the windshield as the bullet fired was in direction.

Travis was in a momentary lapsus again, seeing the actions of Andrews almost having killed Ofelia, being him the one who set him free, indirectly helping him in the process.

"You're okay. It's okay. Let me see." Liza goes to check on Ofelia alongside Daniel.

"Let's move, the dead must be coming," Madison said while getting in the driver's seat of the Humvee after checking the girls inside.

Paul does that and then goes to load the M2 on the Humvee "Nick, get inside it will be a little tight, but try to make it do" Paul says from atop the turret when the machine gun is ready.

"Can I go with you people?" Strand asks Paul about getting inside the Humvee too. Paul looked at him for a second "Get inside Strand, you are our golden ticket out of here, we need you alive."

Madison was driving, Strand in the front seat, and the girls with Nick crammed tight inside on the back sitting where they could, while Paul was standing on the turret with the M2. Ofelia and Daniel piled in the back of Travis truck as he drove in front with his son and Liza.

"We can't travel through downtown. There'll be too many." Strand says while on the road.

"The 110?" Madison asks after thinking for a second.

"Nah, the freeway's a crapshoot on the best of days. I wouldn't risk it." Strand denied it fast.

"Do you want to go back?" Madison smiles.

"You're funny. We're gonna get along fine, Nick's mom." Strand chuckles.

The city was a mess, with destroyed and burning buildings everywhere you could see, dead people roaming at all places everywhere you go, and in a little more than a week since it started, and waiting to come was the desperate attack from the military to try to curb the walker's expansions, bombing the cities.

"Take a left here. We can follow the river down to the sea." Strand instructs to go down and advance through a concrete water canal across the city flowing into the sea.

After a while they get into the place Strand said, a big mansion at the foot of the ocean. "Come," Strand says while putting a code on the front door to open it "Grid's dead," Nick comments as he observes him trying to touch the code locker by the door.

"Generators kick on when the power dies." Strand comments as he ends inputting the code, unlocking the door.

"Andrea, make Liza check Amy when she can," Paul says to her, seeing that Amy is a little in bad shape.

"Thanks, Paul" Andrea smiled at him but she looked tired and carried her sister with Alicia help inside the house, following them was Claire.

"Claire, wait, help me get inside a few things" Paul then starts to order all the equipment, weapons, and ammo available to carry them inside to get into the "home on the water" that Strand said not leaving them behind, the MRE food box, the water bottles, anything that can be taken.

Then he started dismantling with a few tools the M2 attached to the top of the Humvee, there was a tripod for it on the trunk too.

After pilling all the things on the back of the house in the backyard they go to rest for a little inside

"Anyone hungry? Help yourself." Strand says after seeing them. Paul goes to put himself a cup of champagne from a shelf and make a sandwich after seeing there was food in the kitchen.

Andrea then got himself a cup of champagne. "How's your sister?" Paul asks while eating.

"She is fine, it's just a cold she got, the meds will help with that Liza said," Andrea said and sipped a little.

"That's good, really good," Paul says to her smiling.

"Thanks, we have not formally introduced ourselves, here, my name is Andrea Harrison and my sister is Amy Harrison" Andrea extends one hand to him for a shake.

"Glad to know you, Andrea, I am Paul Clark" Paul shakes her hands and extends a finger after, touching her with his finger a little flirtier.

Andrea reacted to the touch well, liking it because she liked how hot Paul is "Me too, I am glad you were there to help us, I don't know what I would have done in other case, I don't know how to thank you."

Andrea then hesitates for a second and kisses him on the lips as thanks, Paul is surprised at it but liking that a beauty kisses him so he also takes the chance and grabs her big ass molding it into his palm and then her big tits too, making Andrea moan in his mouth and excited, but not knowing how his sisters will react he separates after a moment, luckily for him they were distracted with Nick and Mom chatting outside in the backyard

"Sorry," says Andrea a little ashamed after the moment.

"It's okay, it was nice even more from a beauty, get some food and water for your sister so she gets well soon" Paul smiles at her and goes to where his family is but sees Daniel in the living room.

"How is she doing?" Paul asks about Ofelia.

"She will be fine, just a little shocked." Daniel was thankful that nothing happened to his daughter.

"That's good news, I hope she gets well fast Daniel" Paul smiles at the old man.

"Yes, me too, me too" Daniel also smiles relieved.

"Eat some food and get her too, Strand has the kitchen full," Paul says and leaves him.

"I'm sorry," Madison said a little depressed while looking at his son.

"For what?" Nick looks at her in doubt.

"I let them take you." Madison says feeling guilty.

"Mom." Nick just embraces her. "It wasn't your fault, nobody could do anything."

"What?" Madison said seeing his eyes a little lost now.

"I don't know, I don't know. I feel strange." Nick didn't know how to put into words how he was feeling.

"Yeah, we're spinning off the planet, we don't know where we're going." Madison understands him.

"That's the thing, I never knew where I was going, It's like I've been living

this for a long time and now everyone is catching up with me. Strange." Nick says a little disconcerted by the situation.

"Well, maybe we are late to the party but we are there too now big bro." Claire embraces his shoulder showing him support.

"Yes Nick, you are not alone, we are all on this." Alicia also said looking into his eyes and taking his hand.

"As always, you never were alone, you just don't bother to see it, but now you start to want to see it and that makes us happy," Paul says to Nick smiling at the warm moment.

"Yeah, I know it better now..." Nick 

"Good" Paul then pulls a binocular from the pile of things to carry with them when leaving and starts searching for that home in the water. After a moment of looking into the horizon, he finds out in the distance a boat called Abigail "Found it".

"What have you found?" Madison asks with doubt seeing to where he is looking, but can't see anything as far as her eyes can see.

Paul gives her the binoculars "There, look at that yacht, which must be what Strand calls a home in the water."

"I'm going to look for him to ask, how do we get there to start moving the things aboard" Paul

"Strand!" Paul calls for him inside the house while looking for him.

"I'm here" Strand yells from the upper floor

"Strand, how do we get into the Abigail, we need to start moving the pile of weapons and ammo on the yacht before it gets late, every minute is important and we can't waste it being lazy in this house" Paul

"Do you saw her?" Strand looks surprised at him for having found it so fast.

"Yes, got a binocular from the military and looked in the ocean, after all, you said "I have a home in the water" so it was obvious to look there" Paul looking him like he was a fool.

"Well, Nick's brother you are, too much different than him it appears, alert and agile in doing things" Strand appreciates more and more Paul, increasing to his eyes his utility for his needs.

"I don't have the blessing of being like the greater percentage of the earth's population of living happily not knowing what happens in their surroundings, I call it a curse I live less happy than them, taking into account things that could happen and anticipating them, so how do we get there?" Paul asks him again as he sees with great interest a bottle of Glenfiddich unopened in the room along with a whiskey cup.

Strand looks at him for a second appreciating the man knowing that he will bring benefits but also troubles to his wishes "There is a Zodiac boat at the side of the waters tied, you can start moving things aboard using that"

"Good, I will move the things and then start sending the people, make the group start pilling all the food on this house and things we will need and get them to the beach where I will get them up" saying that Paul leaves having no time to waste but also pulling along with him the bottle of Glenfiddich making Strand brow jump in a twitch but he don't say anything.

"Alicia, Claire, help me pack the pile of things outside, we are going to board that yacht and then you will stay there I will keep bringing things and the rest" Paul yells at his sisters who are in the backyard from the kitchen, before opening the bottle and pouring himself a good amount, drinking it in one go. "Damn, good stuff." exclaims appreciating it.

"Babe, can't we rest for a while and then start moving? We have not stopped for a moment" Madison suddenly appears and comes to his side taking the cup from his hands, and then goes in front of him resting comfortably into his arms as she poured herself a drink while pushing her ass back into his dick and wiggling it softly as if convincing him that resting for a moment was a better thing.

"No, we can't Mom, time passes and every minute it's vital like a ticking bomb I have a bad feeling," Paul says that, but his actions were another different thing, since the moment she got in his embrace he extended his claws into her cleavage and started rubbing softly her big tits, fondling them from the back all the way to the front like two large torpedos, making her tremble as she was getting excited.

"Ok, ok, I will see what more we can get to carry with us around here" Madison resigned and horny said while her son was playing with her breast as he pleased.

Paul removes one hand from her tits and takes softly her chin making her look sideways into his face as he leans forward and kisses her lips, at first softly while playing with her tongue as she willingly extends hers, and then with his hand still playing with her breast he presses it harder before pinching her nipples making her moan and tremble on him, before separating leaving a wet thread from their mouths.

"I think, I have enough time for another drink," Paul says as he rubs her beautiful lips, hinting her to kiss him while passing him a drink into his mouth. Madison does that as she wiggles her ass on his cock and takes a big sip of the whisky into her mouth, with an excited look she looks at him again sideways, as Paul this time not grabbing her chin, moves his free hand inside her jeans pants, touching her already wet pussy, inserting two fingers inside her, making her pussy clench around him in happiness.

He maintained a steady rhythm as he fingered her, simultaneously fondling her breast. His tongue danced with hers as he savored her and his drink, bringing her to climax in a sensual, intimate moment shared with her son. Her pussy contracted around his fingers, her folds caressing him as if to milk him, while her entire body shook with the force of her orgasm, releasing a torrent of warm fluid into his hand.

"Such a good, beautiful mother," Paul said. "I am one of the luckiest sons in this world. You are a gift." With that, he brought his fingers to his mouth, tasting her essence, before giving her breasts a gentle squeeze.

Using a lot of willpower, he pours a drink again and kisses her for a last time before moving away from his mother, "That's it, grab as many things as you can then go and put it on the beach down the mansion there is a path to descend, there is a Zodiac boat there Strand said we will use it to get into the yacht." 

"Alicia, Claire, let's go" Paul yells again to his sisters as he sees them already grabbing stuff, then carrying the M2 and the Barret in each hand, while the girls have the M4A1 strapped on them, the ammo boxes and gear.

On the beach Paul saw the boat and checked the engine and the fuel tank, seeing all good he started boarding the supplies, equipment, and his sisters, started the boat, and pointed to the yacht, there wasn't much science about how to use and control the boat so there was no trouble on the way.

The waves along the way were pretty calm this morning so there wasn't trouble as they sped away into the yatch.

Getting close to it, Paul took hold of the barret and started checking the yacht in the distance through the scope, to see if there was someone aboard this big luxury vessel, he took a while checking clearly that there was no movement before putting aside the Mamba and moving again.

Paul stepped onto the platform boarding from the stern of the yacht, and tied the zodiac. Then his sisters passed him the m4a1 and he started checking all the places in the yacht, not leaving any places without checking, it took him quite a while to see that there was no one in there and no problems.

Then he boarded all the stuff they brought and piled them in the saloon, the lounge and dining area on the main deck, after he finished he relaxed for a moment with his sisters, as there was a lot of time to spare since he brought the major part of the important stuff.

He and his sister came into the sun deck and sat on one of the sun loungers in there, "Come here, baby girls" Paul said with a smile as he called them into his embrace.

Alicia and Claire rolled their eyes at their brother's antics but still willingly got into his arms from each side getting comfortable on his chest while enjoying the panoramic views of the sea while Pual put his arms around them and his hands on their beautiful buttocks as he leisurely played with them as he admired the landscape. Already licking the place, it seemed he would spend a lot of time there during their journey.

Getting horny as his hands roam over their voluptuous curves, he pulls Alicia and Claire closer, their bodies melting together in a tangle of limbs on the sun lounger. His fingers trail teasingly along the curves of their breasts, teasingly slipping beneath their tops to caress the soft, pliant breasts beneath.

Alicia lets out a soft moan of pleasure, arching her back to press her chest more firmly against her brother's touch. Her hands roam over his broad chest and strong arms, savoring the feeling of his muscular body beneath her fingers.

Meanwhile, Claire's hands slide down Paul's toned abs, dipping beneath the waistband of his pants to grip his hardening member. She strokes him slowly, relishing the way he grows in her grasp, throbbing with need for his sisters.

Paul's hands roam lower, pushing Alicia's panties aside to tease at her already dripping folds. Her hips buck shamelessly against his fingers as he strokes her slowly and softly, driving her arousal higher with each touch.

Claire whimpers needly as she watches her brother pleasure their sister, growing desperate for his touch. She presses her lips against his in a heated kiss, her tongue sliding into his mouth to taste him fully.

Breaking the kiss, Paul grins wickedly, "You're both so fucking sexy," he growls, his voice low and rough with desire. "Let's use for the first time this yacht in the best way."

He quickly dispenses with the siblings' clothes, leaving them all bare and exposed to the salty sea breeze. Positioning Alicia on her hands and knees, Paul kneels behind her and slaps her beautiful ass making her moan loudly and giving her a moment to brace herself before plunging into her tight, slick heat.

"Oh god, yes!" Alicia cries out, her walls clenching around her brother's impressive length as he fills her completely. He sets a fierce rhythm, his hips slamming against her ass with each powerful thrust.

Claire watches eagerly, her hand sliding between her own thighs to rub at her aching clit as she enjoys the sight of her brother fucking like an animal Alicia. Unable to resist the urge any longer, she positions herself in front of Alicia, pressing her dripping slit against their sister's lips.

"Lick me, Alicia," Claire demands breathlessly, tangling her fingers in the other girl's hair. "I want to come while watching Paul fuck you."

Alicia moans wantonly, her tongue lashing over Claire's sensitive folds as she eagerly laps at her nectar. Claire's hips jerk erratically as Alicia's mouth brings her closer and closer to climax.

Paul's thrusts grow more forceful, his fingers digging into Alicia's hips as he pounds into her relentlessly. The sound of flesh meeting flesh and their combined moans of ecstasy echo through the air.

"Fuck, Alicia, your pussy is so tight," Paul groans and slaps her ass making her move in wild abandon as his fingers dig into her hips hard enough to leave marks. "I'm going to fill you up, baby sister."

With a few final, powerful thrusts, he buries himself as deep as he can go and unleashes his hot seed deep inside her. Alicia cries out in pleasure, her own orgasm crashing over her as she feels Paul's warmth flooding her core.

After a moment, he pulls out with a satisfied groan as her filled pussy drips his cum, then standing beside the sunlounger, Claire eagerly goes and kneels on the deck in front of her brother. She sniffs his dick, loving the musky scent and traces of his earlier orgasm and the fluids of his sister's. Licking her lips hungrily she shows him a slutty face before swallowing him down to the hilt with gusto. She sucks greedily, her lips wrapped tightly around his impressive length, savoring every inch of her brother.

Paul groans with pleasure at the feeling of her warm mouth enveloping him so eagerly. He tangles a hand in her silky hair, gently guiding her movements as she bobs her head. "Mmmm, good girl, that's it," he praises her huskily, relishing in the wet heat of her mouth on his throbbing member.

Claire moans around him, the vibrations adding delicious sensations, making his cock grow even harder and thicker than it already was. She pulls off with a wet pop and licks him from root to tip before taking him back in and sucking him deep. Her tongue swirls and strokes along the underside and glides over his glans in circles as she works her brother's thick shaft, bringing him closer to the edge once again.

Alicia watches transfixed by the erotic sight of Claire eagerly sucking off Paul and Alicia feels her pussy clench gushing out more cum from her filled pussy, she gently pushes two fingers in her twat as she rubs her clit fast, moaning and panting softly as she enjoys the show.

With a final slurping noise and a pop, Claire releases Paul's throbbing cock, strands of saliva still connecting her lips to the swollen tip. She gazes up at him adoringly, licking her lips clean before grinning at his intense pleasure. 

"Fuck, your mouth is amazing big sister. You suck cock so good, my little cocksucker" Paul smirks then bends over and grabs Claire by the thighs as she embraces his neck, pulling her into his arms as he stands upright with her legs around his waist. 

"Aaah!" Claire gasped loudly as her brother thrust deep into her from below. The pleasure was overwhelming as he pumped wildly into her tight, wet pussy. Paul grinned wolfishly down at his sister. "Yeah, take it, slut! This is what you've wanted, isn't it? My cock in your needy little cunt."

Claire could only nod and moan, lost in a sea of intense bliss. Her hands clutched Paul's shoulders for support as he relentlessly drilled into her over and over. His thick cock stretched and filled her completely.

Paul gripped her ass tightly, spreading her cheeks. He pulled out almost all the way, then slammed back inside, making her body jiggle from the force. Claire's breasts bounced freely, the hard pink nipples stiff from arousal. His cock firmly planted inside Claire's throbbing pussy as she gasps for breath. The sea breeze tousles his hair and cools the sweat on his brow. He tightens his grip on her thighs and thrusts up harder, faster, hitting her deep within. 

Claire screams in pure pleasure, her head lolling back as wave after wave of intense orgasms roll through her. But Paul is relentless, still pounding into her from below as she dangles helplessly in his arms. 

"You're such a fucking cock-slut, Sis," he pants, feeling himself close to the edge. "Sucking your own little brother clean with that slutty mouth and now with your slutty pussy." 

With a mighty grunt, he rams into her one last time, emptying his balls deep within her quivering cunt as he kisses her roughly on the mouth, their tongues battling wildly. He savors the taste of her, her scent, and the exquisite sensation of cumming inside his very own big sister.

Removing his dick from her battered pussy dripping his cum, Paul drops her beside Alicia as they rest on the sunlounge contently. Then he put again his clothes and brought both of them an M4 rifle resting it near them just in case as he left the Abigail to continue moving things.

He arrived at the beach again and started moving the rest of the things from the Humvee that was left to send, with food and water from Strand house alongside Amy and Andrea this time.

"So, girls, how did you two end prisoner in there? You were not bitten or had any kind of problems." Paul starts small talk with the pair of sisters as he starts the zodiac to go back to the yacht.

Andrea who was peacefully admiring the sea a scowl appears on her face. "Those damn military men, we were trying to leave the city after the abrupt change of events in the city, but they were blocking it, not letting people leave, as we waited in our car for them to release the blockade, they started moving all people to different places, we ended in one of those."

"You were trying to leave, so you are not from around here, right?" Paul asks knowingly.

"Yep, we are from Florida and we were on a trip before I started college again back in Atlanta, seeing how things were started looking bad here we decided to go back early, and you know the rest... " Amy still cheerfully that they are safe now, she is eager to talk to Paul, given he is the one who saved them, and has a good impression of him.

"Damn, that's bad luck really, it happened to my brother too, they took him in there for no reason, but we are locals." Paul sympathizes with them.

"Yeah, anyway, thanks to you we are safe now, the only thing that irritates me is that I lost a pistol my father gave to me when we started doing this trip before Amy needed to go back. Those damn military took it, now it is lost forever." Andrea lets a little sigh as she curses.

Paul thinks for a moment and removes his belt with the pistol and an ammo pouch he got from the soldier in the underground parking lot and gives it to Andrea. "Why, why are you giving this to me?" Andrea asks looking first at the pistol and then into his face.

"While it's not the same as your father giving you one, I would like you to take it, so you can protect yourself and your sister, I am giving it to you with the same intention your father had for you. I like you both, how you two take care of each other; you're a good pair of sisters. "

Amy looked at Paul with an adoring look in her eyes, and Andrea too was really touched and captivated by his gesture, she took the belt with the pistol and fastened it on her. Then she kissed him on his cheek, Amy seeing that also eagerly did the same on his other cheek. Paul smiled at them, then concentrated as they were getting closer to the yacht.

After going back again he moved his Mother not wanting to leave her any more time than necessary on the beach, Daniel, and Ofelia along with other supplies like food, water, meds, and whatever more was in there.

He left Nick there because was accompanying Strand who was doing something, and now he was coming back for all of them as he already boarded all the items, they were the only ones missing to fetch and It was already night when he started leaving the Abigail and the city in the distance was burning as explosions were heard painting the dark sky bright red.

When he was going back after the trip midway he heard a shot on the beach and saw in the distance Strand, Nick, Travis, Chris, and Liza fighting back a group of walkers near them as a horde coming from the street above the steep ravine chased not far behind as they descended into the beach moving to them.

As Paul stopped the zodiac doing a turn pointing at the sea he yelled to them "Come on!! Get in the boat!!."

"We need to go, it's not safe anymore, I got to see a sea of those dead things around on the streets," Strand says quickly as he boarded with two duffel bags.

"Quickly, Liza" Nick says as he helps Liza board, then gets himself in there, everyone carrying bags.

Travis then pushed a few walkers back with the axe he had in hand, as Strand helped him shoot at the ones getting closer with a pistol.

"Get in the boat Chris, quickly, get in the boat." Travis almost out of breath urged him, as he kept fighting the walkers, Paul extended a hand and pulled him up fast.

"Travis, come here, get aboard so we go!!!" Paul yells to him to move into the boat but sees that he has trouble with two walkers. "Strand give me the pistol" 

Strand passed him the pistol seeing that he couldn't help Travis in fear of shooting him. Paul took it and fastly shot the two walkers to true death. "Move!!" Paul urged him and took his hand getting him up into the zodiac and Strand controls it moving us out of the beach.

"Fuck, it was a close call back in the beach, eh?" Paul comments as they are already all sitting comfortably on the zodiac.

"They suddenly started appearing coming from the city, following the explosions that started" Strand talks now a little more at ease after being safe in the sea.

"It's the military, they seem to be bombing the place," Nick comments seeing into the burning city.

"A little more and we would have been one of those things," Strands says with a little fear in his voice.

Meanwhile, Liza was a little lost seeing Travis who was quiet. "Dad!, are you okay?" Chris asked him.

"I... I was bitten..." Travis looks to Liza and Chris before responding to them.

"What? it can't be Dad, you are fine, you look fine" Chris instantly enters in denial while anxiously seeing him.

"No, I really was bitten." Travis gives a sad and tired smile as he pulls up his shirt and shows him his abdomen with a bite.

Paul couldn't believe what he was hearing, that Travis got bitten. All the time that he cursed thinking about this pacifist would be one of those who die early. Now it really is the case, he got fucking bitten. He also thought that maybe his blood could heal him, but, why should he do it? so he kept quiet and did not comment on anything.

"Oh... Travis... I..." Liza could form a complete phrase being shocked seeing the bite.

"Help him, Mom, you can help him, right?" Chris after hearing his mom, turned and looked expectantly at her.

"I... I can't, there is no way to cure a person when they get bitten, there is only one end. Becoming one of them" Liza sadly while starting to tear up tells them.

"It's fine. It's fine, don't worry son" Travis embraces Chris into his chest as he cries his eyes out.

Paul, Strand, and Nick looked at them silently not knowing what to say to him, given that he only had one ending. They made the rest of the way in silence.

Stopping with the zodiac beside the stern Paul quickly jumped out of it and tied it to the Abigail. The rest were leaving the boat with the bags in hand, while Liza and Chris accompanied Travis to sit on the outdoor cushioned couch in the deck lounge beside the saloon.

As Paul appeared, his mother, along with Alicia and Claire, embraced him, followed by Nick. They were relieved to see that he and his group were safe. "They bombed the entire city with napalm, burning everything to the ground," Paul remarked. Just then, a few fighter jets zoomed past them in the darkness, descending as they prepared to continue the bombing. "Damn," Paul said, "they want the city wiped off the map."

They remained on the deck, watching the burning city in the distance until Strand started moving in the cockpit direction and he followed after him along the rest. As they distanced themselves from the lounge, Paul said to his mother, "Mom, Travis... He was bitten." His mother looked shocked, while the girls struggled to believe what they were hearing.
