In one corner stood a terrified little girl. In the other stood a young Turian. They stared at each other for hours til their eyes burned.
"How can we survive?" The girl asked,finally breaking the silence.
The Turian shrugged. "You have to trust me. Do you trust me?"
She nodded. "Of course."
He held his hand out to her and led her to the door. "We can do this. You just have to believe." He said,his subharmonics flanging. He was obviously nervous. In all her time on the streets she had never met anyone like him. She was almost killed by a rival gang til he came along ad saved her. They had taken refuge in an old building,they finally had to leave. They had no food and no water. They were already hungry and thirsty,they didn't need to add to their problems.
The Turian pulled her out the door. He stopped and stood stiffly. The girl putting her hand on his shoulder asked,"What's wrong?" He shook his head and ran,pulling her with him. He still had yet to answer her question. She ignored it and focused on keeping up with him. Her legs were burning and head pounding from never getting sleep. She needed to stop,she couldn't breath.
He kept on going as she tried to keep up still. She wasn't even sure why they were running. He abruptly stopped and turned around to face her. "You need to hide." He simply stated. She looked at him funny but he pushed her into the shadows where she would be out of sight before she could say anything. She watched as a group of four men walked up to him. She could see one of the men pushing the Turian backwards. She had to fight to not scream out at the man.
She shut her eyes out of fear of what was to come. She heard a loud bang and she knew what it was. It was gunfire. She opened her eyes to see the Turian laid out. She felt the trail of hot tears stream down her face. She fought the urge to run out there. She didn't know if they were gone. Most likely they were workers for Slave Traders and they decided they didn't want him. While she was sad to see him dead,she would've rathered see him dead than as a slave.
She heard footsteps retreating. She knew they were leaving. Now that,as she knew him,Brass was gone,she was all alone. She ventured out of her hide away and grabbed a pistol that one of the men must have dropped. She tucked it into the waistband of her pants and went back to the shadows. With those men out there she was in constant danger as a little kid,especially being a girl. This little girl was none other than Selena Shepard.
