As the car closed, he murmured.

“This is getting too dangerous for both of us.”

Music playing in the car, it’s an old one. The lac almost getting off, vandel turns to his brother.

It’s been 8 years now since this…this shit. Vandel my only hope. And here we are, zombies and a hord of angry people, which want their guns back. But oh well, this is our life to survive. We only need each other, yet this doesn’t look too good this time….

“Hey stay away fucker ! You can’t close those eyes, keep em open. If not for long, just don’t abandon me right now.”

He yells. Starting the car, loud creaks, loud screams, and gun shots.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!!”

He looks at his brother and then proceeds to drive backwards. Hittin them fully on their flesh, a loud bump. Vandel shrieking up, wide bloody eyes.

Then a quick glance to the back seeing what his younger brother drove over.

“Bloody hell Michael….”

He mumbled as his brother pushed his feet back on the gas. Driving towards the fences….his brother isn’t yelling..? Micheal was confused but didn’t question vandel not intervening with his crazy idea

“Hold on tight big bro….”

Micheal speaks under his gritted teeth. A loud crash and the fly for some seconds. Quickly and roughly landing back on the ground.

“DUDE!! Can you be any louder ?!!! How many more should come after us…?!”

Micheal ignore vandel, driving through the thick fog. Slowly towards a forest.

Vandel quickly turns off the music from the cassettes. A glare given towards his little brothers drivers mirror. Yet Micheal doesn’t see it..he’s too lost in thoughts. His head hurts, the more he thinks about how they back then escaped their father. And how aprubtly _they fled._

“Why…why did you do that, your so stupid…first this and now fleeing. I thought we agreed to stay longer.”

No reply

“MICHEAL!!”

“What ?! What ?! What vandel ?! What answer do you expect?!!!”

Vandel looks down, his sight blurry. He bits down on his lip. Speaking up

“Why would you take me with you…didn’t I tell you it won’t help…?”

Micheal shook his head, his eyes not focusing on the foggy path for a second.

“Because your my brother. Who else shall I trust? There’s no trust if it’s not for you….We both know we can’t trust anyone else. Plus, I’ll find a cure. Somehow.”

Micheal’s eyes dart to the bit on the neck of his older brother.

“ I’ll be damned to not take my brother with me, to run away from my own family. From whom protected me. Who killed our father who tried to bite me..I won’t leave family behind again. Even if you’ll become one of them. I’ll be with you, through hell and back.”

A smile on both their faces. Then, full blackness,both brothers hand in hand. Confused at first, but then…the light.

He looked away, for a split second, looking at his yet still human brother with a bite wound. Or so he thought ?

The light, blinding, yet warm and comforting.

“Lil brother, you finally joined me…?”

Micheal turns to vandel confused and horrified. His brother who just looked normal…he was…decayed, mutilated. It was a horrific sight. Pain..pain swelled through his chest.

“But brother…? What happened…? I-I don’t understand. This…this isn’t how it was supposed to go…you were with me. In the car, right behind me….how…”

A hand goes through Micheal’s hair, ruffling it. Vandels cold raspy voice spoke up.

“Stop worrying, I’ll be with you now…this time..no one can part us. I promise. I will be with you again. So don’t worry anymore little brother. Your fogged mind will clear up. I promise, I’m sorry I wasn’t with you. In fact..I never was little brother..but don’t worry about that. Let’s go.”

Vandel takes his little brothers hand and leads him home, their forever home behind the lights.
