chapter 11: Intermission

Intermission, end of the Macon episode.

After their great escape from Downtown Macon toward the motel down in Peachtree, roughly two days has passed, but during those two days it wasn't all fun and games, everyone came together to build up a wall in attempt to ward off any unwanted walkers from wandering into the motel and munch on them in their sleep.

They build the wall using whatever materials they could cobble up with, wood planks metal beam, barb wires, heck Kenny even pushed a dumpster over and stick it into a section of the wall as well.

However this isn't the same wall that was built within the walking game, no they have to build it higher and make sure to cover the top with all sort of dangerous objects, barb wires and nails included.

The reason for that was the fear of a mutated walker climbing or leaping over, they were quite paranoid, Kenny also suggests that they kept a watchman to keep an eye beyond the wall at all time.

Present Time.

Right now Leonard was in his very own room laying on the bed in darkness, the only source of light that was available was coming from a candle on top of a night desk.

Has potential toward the field of necromancy.

It has been a while since he last checked on the system, he was quite surprised to see the changes in his stats- to be more specific his magic has increased

"That's a nice surprise…" he said in a whispering tone. "also...Necromancy huh….seen like the elemental affinity stats got some minor change…" Leonard grinned.

"Necromancy...in a world full of undead….what a great combination…"

He was in deep thought about exploring the path of necromancy, when suddenly he heard a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" he asked "It's me…" a soft voice sounded from behind the wooden door.

He sat up and then open the door, which revealed Ryan, who now wore a long sleeve white cotton shirt and black sports pant instead of her blue dress.

"Ryan? What are you doing up this late? And in front of my room at that?"

He asks her.

"Can...I come in?" she asked him nervously.

"....alright come in…" he allowed Ryan to walked after which he closed the door and went to his bed and took a seat.

"Take a seat, why do you want to see me at this late hour?" he questions her.

Ryan was nervous as she did not make any eyes contact with him.

"I...I...just want to thank you, for looking after me all these times." she said nervously.

Leonard mind went blank for a moment.

"Pffft…." he couldn't help but held back his laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" she asks him.

"It's nothing, you never act like this around me back when we were kids." he told her "what made you changed so much Ryan?" Leonard ask.

Ryan blushed as she doesn't want to talk, Leonard did not want to pressure her.

Honestly, he prefers Ryan to act this way, rather than how she acted back when they were kids.

"It's no problem," he told her.

"What?" she asked. "I said, it's no problem at all," he repeated while having an amiable smile on his face.

She looks at him with her beautiful blue eyes, for the first time she notices that upon closely looking at Leonard's face, "he was quite handsome," she thought

She left the room with a bright smile on her face afterward.

Lilly who was in the shift for night guard duty notice the little movement in front of Leonard but couldn't help but raised an eyebrow after seeing Ryan walked out of Leonard room late at night.

"....." she remains in silence and went to focus on her duty.
