Clay woke to a complete and total silence.It was not the kind you were normally used to though because we were constantly hearing something no matter how little.Yes, it was the silence like in the movies , the horror movies , when everyone was sleeping and the images were already so horrifying that slow, scary music was no longer needed and even the audience was quiet as they waited with bated breaths for anything to happen,that was the crazy silence that Clay had woken up to.Clay was not used to waking up like that because Jay talked in her sleep about nothing in particular so she was not even used to total silence when she slept not that she would ever tell her that she talked in her sleep.Now that she thought of it,Jay might never find out that she talked in her sleep because if she that was her older sister was too scared to tell her then most people would be too scared to ever tell her forever.Clay was missing her sister so much that she was beginning to think of all and any

Clay looked around as soon as she had stepped out of the room that they had never noticed before the collapse.The room had been located underneath the stairs, why had they not thought to ever check what was underneath the stairs too?It was. It like the stairs were so small or insignificant that they did not draw attention to what could be beneath them.They simply did not care to check for things they were not missing.Clay shrugged as she thought about it , they had never exactly had the luxury of time to think about things that were not presently affecting them , so they could not exactly be blamed for not be adventurous or curious at least.They had always been too busy worrying about someone's health or fighting or worrying about food to care that the stairwell's base was too large to be empty.In a way, being recklessly adventurous had brought them here so it was foolish to think that anyone here would remain curious about things that did not directly affect their lives and wel

Clay stared at the room that she had briefly found comfort in the past few days and shook her head with the realization that she soon came to.Everything was fleeting and would all come to an end, even life or better still, especially life.She sighed softly and made her way out of the room, her legs making it quite hard for her to leave the room on her knees like she had come in.When she successfully crawled out haphazardly, she looked down at her legs and smiled eerily, they had done so much good for her, it was hard to believe that they were the same legs that she had used to run back and forth from each of her workplaces back to the apartment in between shifts to make sure Jay was fine.Clay almost could not remember those days, they seemed strangely so long ago,like another lifetime entirely.How long ago had it been since she had just been working as a bartender and making drinks nonstop for hours?She wondered if she could still make any drinks at all and chuckled before she t

June sat on the dust infested bed in Clay's former room,the dust was the last thing on her mind.In fact,it was not even on her mind,she had more things to think of.She was holding up the gown that Clay had gotten her.Even though she claimed not to have looked at it before getting it for her and had just grabbed it off the rack in the store, it did not change the fact that no one had ever gotten her a gift before, most especially a dress.Clay was the first.Gifting her a dress even in the situation that they were currently in.She fingered the material of the dress, her hands running down the smooth contours of the dress , it was so soft .She could just imagine wearing it , sipping an expensive drink while standing barefoot with her feet in the warm sand as she got ready for to take out her boat.She had always liked looking at magazines with girls in beautiful dresses and in different places.They had always looked so carefree that June had been hell-bent on experiencing this,eve

"WELL,IT SEEMS THAT WE JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE TO WAIT ALL THAT LONG BECAUSE OUR OPPOSING FIGHTERS ARE ALL HEREE!!!"."LET US ALL WELCOME OUR OPPOSING TEAM FOR TODAY! THE FIRST EVER OPPOSING TEAM IN A GROUPED FIGHT!!! YES!!!! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THEIR FACES. THIS IS THE TEAM THAT ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE AGAINST VASQUEZ!!".Screams,yells and even catcalls broke out of the school,spilling around the whole of the area like a storm was upon them.Upon Clay and the team only because they could not see anything beyond each other and could only hear the sounds of the crowd's screaming rushing past their ears.The light from the school that was focused on them made it hard for them to study their surrounding or even look up to see where the screams where coming from so they had no choice other than standing under the scrutiny of the light while trying to stay as aware of their surrounding as humanly possible.Clay was beginning to question of this light was part of their strategy when the Commenta
