Chapter 2- "The New Neighbors"
There were other big houses along the way, suddenly we heard some noise. Like a human noise... when we reached our neighbors we were greeted by 2 dogs running towards us. The dog that looked like a golden retriever jumped onto John while the other that was a Doberman, ran towards Jose but stoped and sat down in front of him.
"Emmy Stop it haha!" John started laughing as the dog began to lick his face, "Heh so these two are your dogs?" Said my dad. "Yep, this one is O
Emmy and the other one is Roger, Roger is the oldest dog and a special one to my grandpa", the old man petted the oldest dog and looked at him"you got that right" he said.
We all continued walking and saw more adults and strangely enough... a few kids... they all saw us and a few walked towards us while the rest stayed and were continuing to do something, "hello there, you must be our new neighbors for the summer right?" A young women said, she did had some cuts and scratches on her but she still looked quite beautiful. My dad shook her hand" yeah this is my family and some of my sons friends" he said, we all said hi and another man walked towards us. But he doesn't have his right arm...
But my mother asked the question I was going to ask him when we said hello, "oh no, what happened to your arm sir?" She said with a concerned look, " I was in the military... I Uh... lost my arm during a fight". He scratched the back of his head, Naru started tugging moms arm" hey mom can I play with the other kids?" She asked giving the puppy dog eyes.
My mom smiled and looked at the couple "Well... can she?" She asked. They both nodded "but-" the women replied "the kids may be a little stubborn, they have been through a lot that past few years so.. well maybe they want to play with you." She said, Naru nodded and and started running towards them.
The kids were sitting on the wooden table, mostly a smooth table so I'm sure they don't get splinters. She then sat next to them smiling a bit to keep it cool or just trying not to aggravate them, "h-hello, I'm Naru, I don't want to be rude or anything but I thought maybe we can talk if it's ok?" She said in a calm voice.
The boy next to her looked at her then looked back at his plate" Sure, but were eating" he said. Naru nodded and felt uneasy because of what they looked or just what they were wearing. We walked towards the table, the other adults looked at us, we looked back. They gave a wave and we waved back, they felt ashamed but I just don't know why.....
There was this little girl who appeared to be 10 or 9, she looked like a stubborn type like me but for some strange reason she wore a mask that doctors wear, and she had crutches next to her so it must be because she had a broken leg.
The little boy next to Naru looked a lot younger than I thought, maybe 5. He also wore a mask but he did look happy, so he might become a friend with Naru easily.
The older boy next to Naru looked like he was 12 or 11, his right eye was cover with a eyepatch but he wasn't bleeding so I don't see any point to it, he did look calm though so I was a bit glad.
But... that girl... the one next to the stubborn girl.... she was the one I worried about, the others were worried too, both eyes were covered- no blood. Her arms are bandaged- no blood. Her legs were bandaged-yet no blood. Her hair was jet back, she looked miserable and emotionless.
Then there was the little baby on the emotionless girls lap, I'm guessing it was a girl to. She did look really cute though, so maybe the emotionless girl had a bit of good left in her.... hopefully...
The young women looked worrisome, Fubuki tapped her shoulder" Mam.... why are the kids bandaged or wearing mask..." He said, she looked at him then at the kids "The Incident happened..." We looked at her afraid.
"What incident?.." My mother replied...
"They had siblings once... until they crossed the road and headed to the cemetery..." Her husband replied.
"And died...."
