Last Hope

Episode 11

The five friends woke up from their sleep feeling tense. They realize that their food supply is running low, and they must figure out a way to survive. Rani sits at the table and pulls out the map from inside her bag.

RANI with a serious expression "We must search the fields where we can find seeds and become a new source of food. According to this map, there's a field north of here."

Luna, Rachel, Anna, and Rian gathered around Rani, watching the map closely.

"All right, let's go right away. We can't keep depending on the supplies." RAHEL with her gaze full of determination

They prepare quickly, wear comfortable clothes and pick up the necessary supplies. Rani leads them out of the room to a stressful journey.

The five comrades walked through the forest carefully, following the clues on the map. The forest felt silent and tense, only the sound of their footsteps and the whirring of the wind passing between the trees could be heard.

RIAN firmly held onto the staff, "I hope we don't encounter any zombies around here."

LUNA looked around vigilantly, "We must remain vigilant. If we see danger, we should run as fast as we can."

They continued their journey carefully, navigating through obstacles and dense trees. The voltage is increasingly felt as they approach the location marked on the map.

They arrived at an empty open land. In the middle of the land, they saw the traces of dead and withered plants.

ANNA with a disappointed face, "It looks like we're late. This field is dead."

RACHEL with a confident and determined gesture, "It's okay. We need to find another farm. We can't give up."

They went back to checking the map, looking for other alternatives. The sun was setting, creating an increasingly dark and tense atmosphere.

The five friends walked through the dark forest, only the moonlight illuminated their path. The tension grew even more as they looked at the sinister silhouettes in the distance.

LUNA with a hoarse tone said,

"I think we're being chased by some zombies."

RACHEL (draws deep breaths)

"Don't panic, keep going carefully and don't draw their attention because they you all know they're just using the listener's senses to detect humans."

They walked cautiously and continued to step away from the several zombie hordes that were walking without direction.

They continue the journey with increasing tension, trying to avoid and distract the zombies who continue to approach them.

The five friends continued to step through the dense forest. Without realizing it they are lost and confused which direction they should go. They argue with each other, trying to find the right path to reach the seed fields they seek.

"It doesn't make any sense! All the roads that exist do not fit the map." Say LUNA with a face of disbelief and confusion.

"We have to choose quickly. Time goes on and our supplies are running low." Rian with an anxious face was a little frustrated.

Rani closely observed the map, trying to figure out their position.

"I think we're lost. We have to change plans and try another way." Yakap

RANI with firmness

RAHEL his gaze was full of determination

"Well, we have to stay focused and try to find a way to the field. Everyone get ready!"

They continued their journey, walking through obstacles and dense trees. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense as they re-sensed the presence of zombies around them.

The five friends walked in the middle of the dark forest. They were trying to avoid the zombies that kept coming closer. The atmosphere became increasingly gripping, the sound of their footsteps and whispers of wind that added to the tension.

"We need to find a way out of here. More zombies!" Say ANNA with a loud breath

"Damn! This is not the right path. We're trapped!" RIAN firmly with a trembling voice

They paused for a moment, trying to determine the right direction. Fear and panic began to approach them.

RAHEL with strong determination

"We can't give up! Come on, find another path that could lead to the fields."

They decided to try an alternate path, running cautiously between the trees and the ruins. But the situation gets more difficult as they reach the expected fields.

The five comrades arrived at the destroyed and abandoned fields. The plant seeds are dead and withered. Disappointment approached them.

ANNA sadly said

"Look, this is all for nothing. This field can't give you anything."

LUNA with a disappointed expression

"We have to find another field. We can't just give up."

They surrounded an empty, abandoned field, trying to find signs of hope amidst the destruction.

RIAN determinedly "We will not stop looking. We'll find a field that's still alive."

But they realized the darkness of the night would only cause problems if they returned to the village, finally they decided to find a place to stay and rest for a while.

Rian sees a warehouse at the end of the field but hesitates to go to the warehouse and decides to talk to Rachel first.

"Did you see Rachel's barn". Ask Riyan to Rachel

"Yes of course Rian we saw it" replied Rachel quickly

"How about we both go there Rachel to check it's getting darker and everyone's tired" Rian asked Rachel with a serious face

Anna overhears a conversation between Rachel and Rian, but Anna is a little worried that something will happen to Rachel.

Anna suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Are you sure rian? Don't we know what's in that barn, what if something bad happens"

"What's your plan, Anna?" Rian replied in a slightly annoyed tone

"What, ... ". with a frown.

Rian could only sigh after what he heard from anna's mouth.

But Rachel calmly and reassured Anna she said "Calm down you don't have to worry so much about me, do you forget what has happened to both of us? I'm not as weak as you imagine Anna so stop being worried that everything will be okay" in a gentle tone.

Anna simply nodded with a face so deeply worried.

Rian and Rachel walked towards the warehouse, step by step they walked closer to the warehouse, Rachel prepared with a defensive position and Rian tried to peek at the side of the door.

But Rian fell down unable to bear what he saw inside. Rahel asks what happened to Rian.

"Ssttt woi Rian what happened" asked Rachel to the alert rian.

Rian silently stared with a very blank look.

Rachel could not bear to see Rian who was just sitting in front of her with a blank look, Rachel tried to see it for herself.

What are they looking at?

Anna, Luna, Rani looks from afar and is worried about what is happening.

The three of them rushed to bring their respective weapons to approach Rian and Rachel, the three of them ran with great caution and in order not to create a sound that invited a horde of zombies to come.

Not so far away they both finally reached the position of Rachel and Rian.

Rani worriedly asks "what happened to Rian, is everything okay?"

Rachel who was still looking into the warehouse from the side of the door still ascertained whether there were zombies inside even though Rachel knew what Rian had seen but Rachel acted to calm down.

Luna asked gently "are you alright, Rian, do you see any zombies inside the warehouse".

Rian whose eyes were empty and shocked without him realizing it shed tears. He saw that inside there were some families who decided to hang themselves and what made him sad was that Rian saw a little girl hanging in the sky of the warehouse, she felt a deep pain because she had a little sister whose age was not much different from what she saw in the barn.

Rachel finally opened the door of the barn and all the women of five friends fell down and sat on the ground after knowing what she saw, they begin to realize what rian feels, especially luna and rani who became friends at school when the world is still fine.

"I know how you feel" said Rani with a trembling tone, tears washed down the three old friends Luna, Rian, and Rani.

The three of them instantly like a flashback to the past they always play together and enjoy the beautiful world, Rian the teenager who always pranks alex and always wants to be a leader but he is a kaka who loves his younger sister, alex who is paper-thin patience even so, alex's carelessness becomes one of their laughingstock, Rani a bungle woman who always wants to attract the attention of men, and Luna is a quiet beautiful woman who always pays attention to the activities of her friends. Tears were spilled like without any threat of zombies they cried hard enough while hugging, he said, the three friends seemed to bring out what they had been feeling and feeling all this time and express their sadness behind a hug together.

Anna and Rachel could only be silent at the sadness between the three friends.

But they cannot be dissolved by the danger conditions still threaten them. Even Rani who did not want to be too late by the atmosphere to strengthen Rian, Rani realized Rian that the struggle was still not over.

"It's enough, let's clean this warehouse for our temporary rest" Rani asserted with a mouthful.

Rian began to wake up and try to be stronger with what had happened.

"How about we start now"

Rachel.

"First let's put down the body hanging from the pole" Rachel told Rian, who was aware of the situation.

They took down all the hanging bodies, and the women provided a place to rest, they used straw for their bedding.

Rian and Rachel remove the bodies one by one, they both remove all the bodies they have dropped from the warehouse.

But when Rani takes some haystacks to give to Luna, she realizes that there is a barbed or crate.

With hope Rani threw the straw and approached the chest and opened it.

Rani screamed and was overjoyed to find some seeds or seeds that they could plant in the village.

"Yeeeaaa" cried Rani happily

"What did you find Rani?" ask Anna and Luna

"I found some seed packs" with a face full of excitement

It turns out that Rani pretty much found a package of seeds that were stockpiled by farmers. And Rachel also participated in checking the crate Did not think it turned out in the chest there was a shotgun and a revolver pistol along with its ammunition.

Rachel who had never used a firearm was quite confused how to use it, lucky Rian had followed the military service and immediately secured the firearm to keep watch and brought back to the village, Rian gave the revolver a weapon and explained how to hold and use the weapon briefly. Although a bit of confusion at the beginning of Rachel was fairly dexterous and fast enough to learn the mechanics of the firearm.

The night is getting late, they need to rest. They decided to rest in turns and the ones volunteering to look after first were Rachel and Luna, they had agreed and none of them objected.

Rachel and Luna stood guard in the cold of the night with a small but sufficient bonfire to warm them.

The atmosphere was silent, there was not a single word that came out of the two of them the night was only filled with the sound of the wind and the sound of crickets.

"Light has its own way of entertaining the night from the quiet." Said Rahel while looking at the sky, Rachel tried to melt the atmosphere.

"Hmm, your words are so poetic Rachel" replied Luna with a slight joke.

Rachel smiled happily as she approached Luna. Rachel asked curiously "what about your mass life luna?"

Luna also told me that she came from a family that was quite harmonious but the economic situation that made her depressed, her parents were a food merchant on the side of the road, and her parents were a food merchant on the side of the road, until he was forced to become successful in the future by his parents so as not to experience what his parents feel. Although her parents love Luna very much, but Luna feels burdened with all the expectations given by her parents, but, Luna is a student who is quite accomplished so she does not bother her parents to pay tuition fees.

But happiness was lost when Luna heard her parents who died due to the carelessness of a drunk truck driver hit both parents. Luna cried so hard that she could no longer continue her story.

"I'm sorry Luna I didn't mean to open your old wounds" Rachel said guiltily

"Mmm, that's okay" as Luna wiped the tears on her cheek.

Rachel was reflexive to hug Luna tightly as she apologized to Luna.

Tears were relentless out of the eyes of the luna to wet Rachel's clothes, luna was melted in Rachel's arms she felt calm and safe. "Cry Luna if it calms you down" Rachel wiped the tears on Luna's cheeks unconsciously they stared at each other, they were hypnotized by the atmosphere of Luna giving a kiss on her lips and Rachel also returned a kiss of soft lips luna with sincere affection.

Until they finally realized what they were doing, they were embarrassed by the incident. Time goes by so fast it's time for them to rest now it's anna, rani and rian's turn to keep watch. Luna and Rachel walked inside the warehouse and rested on their backs.

Luna is not yet fully asleep she imagines what has happened between her and Rachel, Luna realizes Anna and Rachel have a special relationship, but even feelings of love that began to grow and difficult for him to deny. Luna decides to hide her feelings for Rachel.
