Luke turned sharply to look as he saw Autumn and once again his eyes narrowed. “Seriously, okay, I had this. There is no reason for you to be here and everyone crowding around the windows is going to draw the damn creepers.” He shook his head angrily, having thought someone would have logically stayed with Ash, but no. That kid had to get up and follow the rest of them not thinking things though, again. And then he just kept talking. Luke turned to look towards the street, though luckily nothing seemed to be drawn by the constant chatter. It must have been quiet enough to go unnoticed.

Not by all though. The dead were oblivious, but Luke heard Ash gasp softly from where she was standing at the door, listening to them. Her eyes were slightly wide and fearful as she looked at Autumn. “You… you killed your best friend?” She said softly, looking to Luke worriedly and the man groaned angrily.

“See? Are you happy now? Look just shut the fuck up kid before you get us all killed and try using your head for once okay? I thought maybe I could have left you to take care of her for one fucking minute but no! You just had to get up to see what the grownups were doing didn’t you?” He made a frustrated noise and walked back over Ash, kneeling down and speaking to her softly to try and reassure her. “It’s alright, okay? I promise, I won’t let anything hurt you, not those things and not anyone else.” He placed his hand gently on her back and led her back into the garage. “You trust me right?” She nodded slightly. “Good. But don’t be so quick to trust everyone. Just because they’re a grown up, doesn’t mean they’re safe.”
