Chapter 5 Getting Ready

Azie's POV

"Okay. Let's stick with that." Arius said in a final tone and rose from his seat. I just heaved a sigh.

Is this the end of the world? Virus outbreak? Survival? This ain't cool at all.

The atmosphere became silent for a minute. Everyone is contemplating if this plan we made will actually work.

I looked at Gifflet who's currently looking outside the half open window where we can hear growling and screams of agony and terror. I saw Arius at the end of the room's corner doing something weird on the wall. Kaliya and Dearil sitting beside me in deep thoughts.

"May natira pa kayang buhay tulad natin?" Kaliya whispered.

I saw Dearil pats her shoulder.

"Maybe? Or we're the only ones."

I shudder thinking what's outside this room. Monsters that'll ravish us anytime we'll put our guards down.

"You guys ready?" I decided to break the silence. They all shook their heads while Gifflet closed the window.

"Not really but have to." I just smiled at Gifflet sadly.

"Okay-"

"Wait! You guys come here and help me push this damn wall." Arius caught our attention and so we rush towards his direction, Dearil and Gifflet then help him push the wall.

"How come we have that kind of thing here?" Says Kaliya in disbelief.

Even I can't believe something like this is hidden inside the university!

"I thought you don't have secret passage here?" I turned to Arius who's standing beside Kaliya.

"Baby, I don't even know this passage exists." He said while his eyes in front. I didn't mind what he said and just step inside while looking for any wall switch.

"Then how did you find this?" I heard Kaliya ask curiously.

I instinctively snapped my head on my right side when a light hit my face.

It's Gifflet's phone. He just turn his flashlight on.

I smile at him and finally saw the light switch and click it on making all the light bulb on the wall glow.

"I happen to saw some weird parting line." Arius replied while walking behind us together with Kaliya and Dearil.

"Woah!" We can't help but to feel amaze standing in front of what the wall hides. Its a room full of weapons! From types of guns to sharp weapons!

There's also this gray fridge that contains choco bars and layers of foods.

"Never know mr. Claeg hides stuffs like these here." Dearil said, referring to Arius' dad.

"Well I'm not surprise at all. Uncle love guns. I still remember when we're kids, we love playing toy guns on your backyard Ar-" Arius cut her off.

"Tss!" I averted my gaze from them to Gifflet and saw his face changed. My brows shot up.

So, they're best friends since they're kids. Interesting..

"Stop it Kaliya." Arius said frowning and walks right in the middle of me and Giff.

"Aray ah!" I hissed when Arius hit my bruised left arm. I got this yesterday after someone from the bullies whom I kicked the ass hit me with their baseball bat.

Well, I can say its a nice thing I've been hit on my arm and not on my head or I'd be gone at this moment. It won't be great if I die just like that, no thrill.

"You alright?" Gifflet ask worriedly. I just nod at him and throw Arius a deadly glares.

"Problema mo?"

"What? May iniinda ka? You're bitten?" He asked bluntly that made my blood boil as if he doesn't care he hurt someone. The audacity!

"Are you stupid? We're inside the detention room the whole time and you're seriously gonna ask me that I am bitten?" What a jerk he is!

"So what's with your arm?" Kaliya ask sassily and took a step backwards.

What the hell?

"This is the prize I got beating some bully's ass yesterday okay? And going to D.R is my consequence." I replied and rolled my eyes heavenwards. They seem to believe me and decided not to annoy me anymore.

"Okay just stop it guys. Let's just get some weapons that can help us later." Dearil said ending the tense atmosphere.

"Tsk!"

"Okay, okay. Let's get our own weapons. Make sure to pick a weapon that is light and we know how to use. Pick some first aids and foods too after that, let's meet here. We have to leave before dawn." We all nod our heads to Gifflet and didn't waste time.

I started to do my own thing after I spotted a black pack bag on the corner of the room and put all the high caloric and nonperishable foods like chocolate/chips, biscuits and canned goods and first aid that I know will be helpful to us.

The room is not really that big yet its enough to fill tons of classic guns and sharp weapons.

After that, I wander my eyes off the other side of the room where I saw Dearil and Kaliya on pistols section while Arius is on the riffles and Gifflet on the knives.

This room is just so cool. My eyes landed on the left corner of the room where I saw a beautiful shiny sword alongside of it was a bow and arrows. I didn't waste anymore time and tread towards it. Elbowing the glass cage that creates a crashing sound and made the four people jumped on their shoes.

I just smile at them awkwardly seeing how pissed they were and turned my gaze back at the sword and the bow.

I touched the sword, although its been 2 years since the last time I stop learning martial arts including this, I still remember how to use it.

Its not really that long, its just average looking samurai yet its very light and sharp as it wounded my index finger.

I took its 'wooden holster' and put it inside and wear it. Same thing goes with bow and arrows that I am confident I can use properly.

After that I proceed on the pistol section and took 2 of it and four cartridge, put one on my waist and a gun holster and strap one on my right leg and put the other one there too.

My eyes shine when I saw daggers and so I took 2 of them too and placed them inside my boots.

Honestly, Arius dad's so freaking cool!

After that, I returned to where we should meet and saw Arius and Dearil there. My forehead creased when I saw their outfit changed into all leathers. From jacket to boots.

Where did they get those?

"That boxes over there, open it and look for clothes that'll suit you." Arius snap as if he can actually read my mind.

I didn't ask anymore questions and started walking across the room where I saw 10 boxes and glanced inside them. I saw leather jackets, shirts and boots.

I place my bags down and change my outfit right away. I pick two more shirts and tossed it inside my bag then returned to where the others were. They already change their clothes too.

"Great. Did you stuffed enough amount of foods and weapons?" We nod our head at Dearil and then we're surrounded by silence for a few minutes before Kaliya broke it off.

"So this is it. Let's stick back to the plan and get the freaking out in here." She said nervously.

Yes. We have to get out in here safe and alive. I hope our plan will work.

"May God guide us." I whispered and glance at them all who feel the same way.

"Let's do this." I said staring at them gritting my teeth and giving them sharp looks.

And with that bumalik na kami sa D.R kung nasaan ang nag iisang bintana na aming dadaanan para maka alis sa lugar na 'to.
