When I turned to him, I caught his forehead frowning, followed by a sigh.

I just smiled at him so that I wouldn't have to worry too much. She also has her own body pain.

Shaken, he averted his gaze. When she was no longer facing me, I turned to Lily.

I was about to call her attention when I noticed that she was just staring blankly in front of her.

Silence.

Stunned

Although I wanted to ask if he was okay, I just didn't continue. It's obvious that she's not okay.

But I wonder, what happened?

Abi and I went outside to continue looking for a signal. My phone's battery percentage was already running low with only thirty-nine percent left. I only adjusted the brightness level to its lowest and turned on the battery saver to at least lessen its reduction.

We tried looking for something we could step on.

We tried lifting things so that we could find a better place.

We even thought of looking for a staircase or a passage that would lead us to the roof. But we found nothing.

I stopped by a nearby window, Abi was outside, and I insisted on entering the storage room to look for anything we could use to lift our phone higher.

As I was about to ransack a stock of dusty things in a corner, I suddenly felt something unusual as if something or someone's behind me.

Although I know that Abi's with me. I swallowed hard, gently wiping the sweat on my forehead.

When I turned around slowly, I caught a glimpse of a shadow that seemed to pass by the door.

"Abi?" I called.

No one answered.

"Abi? Are you still there?" I called her again.

Still no response.

After a couple of seconds, and seeing that there was no sign of Abi's whereabouts, I decided to go out of the room.

I tried calling her name again.

But still no response.

I can not look at the right side of the door. It's as if I'm scared of something, that something will suddenly surprise me.

Just when I was about to step my feet further, Abi appeared from the left side of the door, looking innocent.

She's holding Camilla's phone.

What the heck? Who could that shadow be?

ABI

I was carrying Camilla's cellphone when I tried to pull out some things and stacked them to step on.

I'm bored with our situation.

Fortunately, somehow, we were still lucky because brother Chren had exactly the right food when we met him yesterday.

I even lost my phone.

I never thought of going back because I didn't know how I would come back even though there were two big and ferocious pigs in front of us.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

I just adjusted myself without getting a signal, even though I fell on the floor. When I got annoyed, I just followed Chren to the storage room.

He said he would look for long objects that could be used as a phone stand or stick. I was nearly bloodied from his rapid English speaking.
