Chapter 15: Mansion

After an hour of driving, We arrived at the mansion just as the evening set in. We had dinner, and Amy showed Lily and Nana to their room. Since the twins preferred to sleep together, that's why only one room was needed.

"Here is the bathroom, you can use it however you like since we still have electricity and water"

Amy said as she showed the bathroom, "If you have anything to ask just ask any of us, we will happily answer your questions"

"We'll sure do, thank you" Lily said as she smiled

Lily and Nana took a bath together, "Ahhh, it's been a while since the two of us took a bath right?" Lily said with a bliss

"Right..." Nana replied coldly

"Hey, is there something wrong?" Lily asked worriedly

"There's nothing wrong" Nana said with a fake smile, Suddenly Lily splash water on Nana's face.

"There is clearly wrong when you smile like that" Nana said seriously

"Sighed, we're really twins" Lily said and look at the ceiling, "You see, I'm scared... the world have turn into something we can't predict, dangers are everywhere... it's scary that we may die someday or even tomorrow, we don't know what the future holds..." Lily said with a sad expression

"I'm scared, Lily." She said looking at Nana with tears on her face.

"So even the matured Lily is scared, hehe."

Lily got embarrassed right after saying that because she's just teasing her, she then regret telling her that then Nana said something

"That's normal, even I, myself are scared, we are powerless and can't do something on our own, Amy and her team, we still don't know if there trustworthy" Nana said

"But I'm sure, that we should enjoy every moment of our life! We only have one life, if we die tomorrow so be it!"

"If we did everything that we won't regret then even if dying after this bath is no means! We only live once, so be sure to cherish every single time we have"

"After all, we have enjoyed the past so why get scared of the future! We should learn in this present and look forward for the future, because I'm sure that all of us will have happy ending!" Lily continued with a resolve on her face, happily telling this to Nana

Nana smiled Idolizing her, "I'm jealous of you, to have a strong mindset like that, okay, I will try my best to enjoy every moment we share!" Nana said happily

"That's right!" The two of them, high fived with a determination of being happy by all means!

As the water droplets echoed in the bathroom, a newfound understanding seemed to bridge the gap between Lily and Nana. The camaraderie forged in the simple act of sharing a bath unveiled layers of vulnerability and strength.

The bathroom, filled with the warmth of the bathwater and the echoes of their conversation, became a sanctuary where the twins confronted their fears and embraced a newfound resolve to cherish the fleeting moments in their unpredictable lives.

The next morning, Lily being hyper in the morning suddenly burst into the room where the Me and the others were in.

"It's morning already!" Lily shouted, only to find them in a state of undress. "!??" Shocked and embarrassed, she quickly closed the door.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

They woke up late due to exhaustion, "so noisy" I said, complaining and getting up from the bed

"They're just kids afted all" Amy said while putting her clothes

Steff sighed, "Is this how parenting works" with that statement, they feel like older because they are taking care of kids

After dressing, we then went to go downstairs to have a breakfast, opening canned foods as our dish partner by rice. Rice are common in Asia so it's a win win, every household has them after all, we have almost 30 sacked of rice. Most of those who tried to scape have a sacked of rice with them, not only one but more than 2!

It's a good idea I looted those, the twins does happily eating their fill, "I told you not to disturb them" Nana giving a lesson to her sister. It's a good thing that Amy is close to them, "it's fine, it's fine" Amy said being carefree. It seems that Steff isn't friendly, likely because she's not but also because of what happened of that bald old man and the twin's uncle.

It's good that the mansion is lively, after the breakfast we started moving the items we had looted from the convenience store in the gasoline station.

"We got ourselves lots of stuff!" Amy said with joy

"With this! We'll be able to keep ourselves safe! Am I right!?" Lily said shouting keeping up the hype Amy have.

"Lily... you're voice is loud" Nana said worried, maybe because in their past, if they make a noise zombies will come.

"Haha, it's okay to get excited but please keep your voice down" I said giggling

"This is the last one" Steff said, she was on the back of the pick up truck passing them the things they got.

"Alright, let's put them all in the pantry, be sure to put those foods that needs to put in the refrigerator" speaking of refrigerator, we can't keep relying on the generators alone… I should solve this electronic issue.

After storing all the items and foods, we then start our training, I also invited the twins to join us with our training sessions to help them learn how to protect themselves. The twins agreed, we immediately went to the backyard to begin our training.

We first started with the jogging, 3 hours passed.

"What the hell is wrong with you people! How can you run for hours!" Lily shouted sitting on the ground exhausted

Nana on the other hand was already sleeping on the ground, "Stay with me,

Nana!" Lily said holding her hand

"Fwuah~..? Is this heaven?" Lily said waking up

"Snap it out Nana!"

"You'll get used to it very soon, I was once like that last week" Amy said grinning as she saw that she's not alone. "Don't mind those two, those are monsters, they aren't even tired!" Amy said complaining to them.

"Hey, we can hear you, you know?" I said after drinking water, Steff besides me pressing towel to me face because it's sweaty. "Thank you Steff" I said to her, "You're welcome, this is my duty as your girlfriend" she said with a smile.

"Hey, you're getting ahead of yourself again without me" Amy said pouting

"Come" I said, opening my arms for a hug, she quickly stands up and ran to me. Jealous, Steff also hugged me on the back. "Let's take a shower after this, we're all sweaty" I said and they got embarrassed

"Hey, don't you think they're too close as a friends?" Nana asked curiously

"You really don't get it, you saw them naked earlier and now they are taking a bath together, that is not normal for just a friend you know, they might be lovers or something" Lily explained to her

"Eh? Lovers? But didn't Steff said that she's Souta's girlfriend? Then what about Amy?" Nana asked not getting the situation

"Well probably Big Brother has them both as his girlfriend"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"You can see them happy then it's okay"

"Kinda, weird but okay…" the twin accepts the weird situation at it is.

We then take a quick shower, Lily and Nana who is in the living room, "Hey Lily, do you think they're okay? Amy and Steff has been screaming for some time now" Nana asked, clueless

Embarrassed Lily said, "Let's just let them be, how about we go outside and explore the mansion?" Changing the topic, keeping her sister innocent.
