I shake my head,"The door opens inward, so blocking it from this end won't do much."
Chris must see the longing to avoid this room as he asks,"Are you alright?"
I sigh and nod, but that doesn't cover it. He puts a hand on my shoulder,"There's no reason to hide anything."
After a few moments, I give in,"My wife, she was turned. She's in that room."
He nods,"You go back to the others, I'll take care of this. It'd be better if I take her out of her...."
I cut him off,"Just finish her. It'll be better for her."
He nods, and I go to the living room. No one says anything, but Piers walks over to him. I sit next to Ferus on the couch. Sherry is holding him, his head buried in her shoulder. He's holding her tightly. She's holding him, and looks like she could cry. She brings her left hand up, brushing his hair back, off of his ear,"Your dad's here."
He looks over at me, getting off of her and onto me. He's been crying, but the tears don't seem to keep flowing. He holds onto me, tightly, and lays his head on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around him, holding him tightly. I have nothing to say, not right now. Then, a gun shot is heard from down the hall. I just close my eyes, and I feel Ferus' grip get stronger. His head moves off my shoulder,"Daddy?"
I sigh and open my eyes. I feel my eye's watering, but I can't let the tears fall,"Don't worry about it. They're fine."
He nods,"I know.....why isn't mommy coming back?"
That's the one question I don't need right now. I sigh, not knowing what to say. He speaks before I can,"Is it my fault?"
