The Lost Future Page #3

---

We don't have time for this.

Which is why

we kept it a secret.

[Snarling nearby]

Go.

Go!

[Beast grunting]

[Roars]

[Axe thuds, people scream]

[Roaring ferociously]

[Shouts, taunting]

[Roars]

[Hisses]

Kill it!

Kill it!

It's my father!

Your father's gone!

That's not him!

[Roars, snarling]

[Dorel screams]

[Axe thuds, beast screams]

It's all right.

This wasn't your father anymore.

Kaleb was right.

How...

How do you know my name?

I've been watching you

for a long time.

You can read.

Like your father.

You know my father?

I knew him.

What happened?

It was his wish

That i made sure

no harm came to you.

Were you bitten?

What?

Did it bite you?

No.

No bleeding through the nose?

What do you mean?

No...

We're not infected

if that's what you're asking.

Oh, yes, you are.

A mutant has only

to breathe on you

To infect you.

The bite is just quicker.

There is still time,

But there will be

more of them,

So follow me.

You're lying.

There's nothing

wrong with us.

Your mouth will go dry,

And your thirst

will be unquenchable.

Your lungs will tighten,

Your nose will bleed

and your eyes will sting,

Then your heart will race.

Now, follow me.

If we're infected,

Why did you get

so close?

I'm immune.

What's "immune?"

I can't catch

the disease.

How is that possible?

The cure is a powder,

A yellow powder.

There wasn't

much of it,

And what little is left

will be hard to get.

We have water,

but there's no food.

[Beast snarls and roars outside]

[They beat the barricade

with sticks and axes]

Don't worry,

they can't get in.

Yeah, but won't they leave?

They know we're here.

They won't stop.

They want to kill

like rabid dogs.

Then we must pray,

Put ourselves in god's hands.

We must have faith.

Gather round

And let us pray.

[Beast snarls

and slathers outside]

[Tribespeople chant]

Oh, lord, be with us,

Protect us

from this evil...

Are you taking us

to the yellow powder?

We must first go to my home.

There are things

we need to pick up.

How come the beasts

never found you out here?

They're frightened of water.

Helps keep them at bay.

Don't worry.

They'll never cross

this water.

Did you build this?

[Scoffs]

It's from the old world.

I just patched it up.

Neenah.

We have visitors.

Why?

He is jaret's son.

He doesn't belong here.

They need our help.

Their village

was attacked by mutants.

You brought

infected people here,

To our home?

They weren't bitten.

They still have some time.

Neenah!

He can read.

I don't care!

How can you be so reckless?

Don't you see what this means?

It means you've

put us in danger.

Look at him.

He's a boy.

How can he do what jaret did?
