"Ezran, I need to tell you something really important, and you need to be calm and mature about this, okay?" Callum spoke, and Ezran only nodded.

"Basically, Har- I mean, dad, had gotten news that there are some bad people coming, and soon.  He's worried that these people will get in and hurt people here in the safe zone, so, he wants us to be ready to leave in case that does happen" Callum explained as best he could.

"What? What kind of bad people, and leave? Leave to where?" Ezran questioned Callum, a hint of confusion and fear in his voice. Callum didn't blame him. Ezran had never seen an infected, and has spent most of his life inside the wall's since he was 2 years old. For something bad to happen all of a sudden, was probably a bit hard to understand.

"Well, these people like to break into camps like ours, take things and hurt people. They don't care about anyone but themselves, and won't hesitate to do things. As where dad wants us to leave to, he said towards a camp close by".

"You mean like aunt Amaya's?".

"Yeah like her camp not to far I guess" Callum replied.

Ezran only nodded, processing the information. It was kinda scary to him. He knew dad faced a lot of dangers before, but for him to prepare them to leave, was scary.

"But don't worry, I'll make sure we're both safe if anything happens, no matter what" Callum reassured Ezran with a more positive tone, as he ruffled his younger brother's hair, causing him to laugh.

"Now, what do we do every night?" Callum asked Ezran as he pulled his hand back.

"Go over the 5 rules".

"Good. What's rules number one?".

"Never go by yourself".

"Good. Rule two?"

"Always have a weapon".

"That's good. Three?"

"Always have an escape plan when going somewhere new".

"That's right. Rule four?".

"Don't trust new people easily".

"Now whats rule five?".

Ezran never liked rule five. It always made him feel sick even saying that rule. He hated that rule.

"If bitten, aim for the head..."

"...yeah, that's right. Now, what will you do if I get bitten".

Callum never liked asking Ezran that sixth question. It's one he made up himself between the two of them, since he always had the fear that it would only be the two of them one day, and if he was bitten, Ezran would have to know what to do.

"...If your bitten, either aim for your head, or run..." Ezran replied sadly.

Callum frowned. He knew that the thought of him turning scared Ezran, a lot. He remembered two years ago or so, when he came down with a fever suddenly and sent to the medical ward, Ezran cried cause he thought Callum was infected, since fever is a effect of getting bitten. It took Ezran a while to stop crying, only calming down once he was told that Callum wasn't bitten many times by their father.

When he came to visit Callum in that medical ward, Ezran started crying again, saying he was scared Callum had turned and would leave him.

Callum never wanted Ezran to see him as an infected, and always gave him the choice to either kill him, or run away. He wouldn't mind which one his brother would choose. Personally himself, Callum would rather be shot then left as a infected, but he wouldn't want Ezran to be the one to kill him.
