Lily's head was full of thoughts as night started to show. Her legs shake nervously while she looks at Alan's home. She quickly stood up and run to the house. She needs answers. Now.She knocks on the door like her life was in danger. Alan opens the door half asleep and confused.
— Why are you mistreating my door like that ? There's an emergency ?
Now that Alan is in front of her, Lily's head is empty. She doesn't know how to begin the conversation and even less how to talk about what she saw. Alan seems worried by this silent treatment.
— Lily, you're scaring me more than usual right now... What's wrong?
— wall...
That's the only word Lily's mind was able to come out of her lack of thought. Alan started to be even more confused and scared.
— Yes... All houses have walls... You sure you're okay ?
— No... wall on the east side...
— What so you mean ?
Lily takes a deep breath and started to find all her thoughts again.
— There is a giant wall that wasn't here before on the east border of the camp
— There was always a wall here
— I saw you making it from nothing! — She almost shouted it, to free her head from everything. Alan looks at her, confused, and bursts of laughter.
— That's the best joke you told me ! Now go take a nap, you seem to need it.
Then he closes the door with a smile on his face. But Lily wasn't crazy. She saw Alan building a wall from nothing ! She needs a new way to have her answers. She runs to her home, knowing Yordan would be here and bursts into the house. The soldier looks at her, surprised.
— You had your answer?
— Not even a shadow... Where's the vodka?
— In the shelf... Don't tell me you want THIS method to have your answers....? — says worried #22
— I will use it for its primary use! You're the best!
A small kiss on his cheek and she's out again, walking towards his friend's house. She knocks more kindly and Alan opens with an even more worried face.
— I just wanted to apologise for this moment... Can I offer you a drink ? — She asks him as she shows the bottle. Alan invites her inside and sit around the table.
Some hours seem to have passed and Alan was laughing without stopping, many corpses of empty glass in front of him. Lily was watching him with a smile, her first glass still full. Now, it will be easier to know the truth.
— I have a question, was there a wall on the east side of the camp ?
— Never! I- I made it... my- myself !
— Are you a wizard?
— Noooooo ! You're f- fucking inso- sa- sulting me !
— What are you then...?
— GOD ! The fucking GOD ! I created- EVERYTHING! All of that happened in my head ! I control the whole worl-
As he saw Lily's face, he knew. He fucked up...
— CONNARD !! ENFOIRÉ !!! JE VAIS TE FAIRE LA PEAU !!! *
These shouted foreign words outside forces Yordan to come out to see what happens, as he recognizes his girlfriend's voice. All he sees was Alan perched to a low branch, trying to go higher and Lily shouting at him, a broom in her hands as a weapon.
— DESCENDS DE LÀ QUE JE TE FASSE SOUFFRIR COMME TU L'AS FAIT POUR NOUS !!! **
Alan falls and runs for his life while trying to keep his balance, chased by a very angry Lily.
- JE VAIS TE FAIRE REGRETTER TES CHOIX DE MERDE FILS DE PUTE !! ***
But Alan sees his friend and runs towards him. Once close enough, the leader jumps in the soldier's arms and grabs his back, making him growls because of his shoulder's pain. The French woman stops in front of them, her deadly weapon ready to strike.
— VIENS LÀ QUE JE TE FRACASSE LE CRÂNE ET T'ENFONCE LE BALAIS DANS LE CUL !! ****
Yordan knows one thing: when Lily speaks French while being angry, nothing can stop her. A shiver runs his spine as he sees her. He won't calm her down like that, he's more than sure.
— God... Give me strength...
— I would love to, but for God to help you, first save the God !
Yordan freezes as the phrase of his friend process in his brain.
— ALAN JE-
— SHUT UP!!!
The sudden scream of #22 stopped every movement and talk. Lily looks at him, ready to slay her sentence, and Alan lies on the floor after falling from his friend's back, dizzy.
— EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE, NOW !
