Penetration Chapter 4

I opened the door to the surface. It was still drizzling ash but I could see through the smoke a figure. "Hey!" I yelled and ran toward the figure.It turned toward me and started waling. "Over here!" I called. As the figure came closer, details emerged from the smoke. It was a man in a simple what used to be white, T-shirt. It was now smoldered with soot. His face held years of wisdom and his hair was thin. "Another survivor!" His wrinkled face lit up with joy. He put his arm around my neck and began to walk. I stopped, which resulted in his arm falling off my shoulders. "What is it young lady?" he asked, confused. "My friend is waiting in my sanctuary, I must get him first." I said and began walking the opposite direction of the old man. "I'll come along so I can guild you both to the city." he said and matched my fast pace. "City?" I asked, dumbfounded."Oh yes, our underground city that has been working for years. We have food, water, oil, everything we would need for this disaster." He explained. "We knew this disaster would happened, so we prepared." he finished. "How did you know?" I asked. "The Mayans." he answered.

Finally we got to the sanctuary where Seth was waiting outside. He looked up at me, his eyes filled with worry and he ran and hugged me tightly. "I thought you left me." his voice wavered. He stepped back and dropped his hands to his side. Finally he saw the old man. "Who are you?" his voice stern. "The one who will lead you to safety." he said, his voice deepening. They glared at each other for a couple seconds, then the old man began walking. Seth took my arm and walked with me.

We stopped at an burned oak tree, the old man stomped the ground around him and we heard metal. He opened up a heavy door and we slipped inside. The way was lit by torches and there was a turn at the end of the hall. We turned the corner and a wooden door appeared at the end of the corridor. he opened it and a dining room was set out before us. It was not lined with desserts or turkey or vegetables. It was empty. "Looks like we missed lunchtime" I thought. He sat us down at the empty dinner table and sighed. "So if you are going to be living here. There are some rules. There pretty basic rules, not very complex. 1. No fighting, 2. No stealing, 3. No sex, 4-" Seth interrupted him. "No sex? You'd think that people down here or even us would have sex?" he asked. "We've had some incidents so yes, it is now a rule." he stated and cleared his throat. "4. No loud noises and lastly, 5. No trespassing" he sighed loudly and stood up. Now you two can be on your merry way. Enjoy your stay my friends." he smiled and went through a door that said "Do Not Enter".

We went through the main door and saw people bustling about, smiling, talking, laughing, it was like we were on the surface again.There were many kinds of people, unlike most of movies I had watched that had every one was the same, acted the same way, ate the same way, and so on.

We went to the apartments and found a room with two beds. It went dark inside the city but our room was light by candles we had found. I couldn't sleep though, everything was just rushing into my head so fast I think I could scream. I sat up and rubbed my forehead. I heard the rustling of sheets and a few floor boards creak. I looked up to find Seth standing in front of me. "You okay?" he asked, the flame dancing in his eyes. "Yeah I just can't sleep." I said and closed my eyes. "just a headache is all."

"Are you cold?" he asked. "Yeah a little why?" I asked, even though I knew what he was going to do. "I was just asking." he said quietly and turned to walk away but I grabbed his arm and pulled him toward me. "Sleep with me tonight then." I said. He climbed into the bed and wrapped his arms around me, his chin on my head. I felt the warmth of his body flow to me and I snuggled up to him. I could feel his heart beat a little faster. I opened my eyes and looked into the shadows of the lonely bed that wouldn't be slept in tonight.
