If You've Got The Time
The heat was torchure. My long brown hair was clinging to my face, the blood drying under the heat. My eyes dried out from the dry desert air and my lips chapped from the lack of liquid. My mouth pasty and my head pounding.
The gash on the back of my head causing a trail of blood to follow behind me.
I wasn't afraid! I kept walking, I kept living. I couldn't die, I just couldn't. If I did they would've died for nothing, and I cannot let that happen. But I couldn't stop it, no matter how far I limped, I was dying.
My white skinny jeans glissened with the fresh blood gushing out of the wounds on my legs. I was wearing a pair of high black combat boots that made it even harder to walk. My blue tanktop had rips and blood stains, the words in black: "Sword and the Faith" Written on the shirt. My black leather jacket was short and chic. On the back was my sign, an electric blue rain drop with a circle around it and a skull in the center.
I had dirty and stained white fingerless gloves and a single electric blue streak running through the under part of my hair. My mask was white with a black line to make the eye holes look like cat eyes. My electric blue (my favorite colour) gun had three white stripes on the tip and the words: "Well it rains and it pours" on the side, written in italic writting.
My nose was bleeding and I knew my cheek bone was bruised.
"No! Help him!"
"You basterds!"
"Garden, Wake up! Don't leave me!"
The scene flashed before my eyes. Pain, Greif, Anger! A mix of emotions so strong, so easy to loose control. I did loose control and I couldn't take it.
My breathing got hoarse and my legs started to go numb. I clenched my gun so hard my knuckles where white as snow. I'm lucky I still remember snow. After the nuclear bombs the world went down hill. Global Warming turned out to be real, I never doubted it though unlike some people. A company pretty much took over, shoving pills down our throats and transporting us all to Battery City, millions of people died. Lots of families, friends even enemies. All dead!
I was practically dragging myself now, I looked up. My arm wouldn't move high enough so I could shield my eyes from the sun. I noticed the nasty vultures just waiting for me to drop. I could see spots, patterns? Lights? I was slowly loosing conciousness as I practically dragged myself to where ever the hell I was going. I just followed the Highway; Route Guano, praying that no dracs were patrolling the area around this time.
It felt like something was sitting on my chest, it was so hard to breathe. I lost feeling in my arms, and then control in my feet. Causing me to drop to the ground. My head hit the pavement and everything went black.
"Get Up and GO!" The radio blared through out the 72 Roadrunner.
My whole group singing and laughing.
"Come on Rainy! Sing!" Garden Heart said laughing. Garden Heart, my second in command. My first mate, my best friend. Her medium length curly blonde hair blew around in the wind. She wore mainly green, being her favorite colour. A vegeterian with fun on the brain.
"No, and don't call me Rainy." I growled keeping an eye on the road. Cryer was kicking my seat and I was keeping myself calm, I had way too much responsibility on my hands to sing and laugh right now. We had a run in with the Dracs last night and lost ShipShape, he was a good kid. Strong and brave, it's such a shame.
But being the leader I need to be serious, I can't clown around. The ex-leader Crimson Bow has been getting older, and developped heart problems. Me being the second in command took over, he's practically raised me, he taught me how to fight and shoot a ray-guy. He's been a father to me.
"Who they want you to be! Who they wanted to see! Kill the party with me!" They all sang along.
"It's not true!" Crooked Cryer snarled, his voice cracking slightly.
"You're such a liar!" Baby Greenwaist snarled, for a sixteen year old girl she could really raise hell.
"Am not!" He defended.
"Are too!" She almost yelled.
"If the two of you don't stop fighting, I'm gunna' toss you's out and feed ya's to the Dracs." I shouted over the loud radio. They looked terrified but quieted down immediately. I'm never usually this bitchy, it's the lack of sleep. I'm the one awake watching over everyone so nothing happens. Plus I haven't had a ciggerette in a long time.
My 21st birthday was last December, I've been out here for 6 years. It may not sound like a long time, but when you're out in the desert. It's an eternity.
"Rain!" Crimson's old deep voice said in a panic. They all turned around, I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed the BL\ind car speeding towards us. That car is probably filled with dracs, two other cars pulled out from the behind it and one turned to three. I planted my foot on the pedal and sped forward.
Everyone turned around and aimed at the cars, I told them to wait for them to make the first move. Just like the idiots they are, they did. Dozens of beams shot at us and past the car.
"Shoot!" I yelled and without hesitation they shot the cars. Laser beams flying everywhere by now, the only problem. Their cars were bulletproof and ours wasn't. The shot out our left back tire, with a bang we skidded forwards and swirved until we stopped. "This is it guys, masks on!" I yelled putting my mask on before getting out of the car, we all hid behind it. Using it as a giant shield as the Draculoids' cars screeched to a hault, they hid behind thier cars and fired at us. There were lasers bouncing off the car and slicing through the sides.
My baby!
The good amount of the Dracs went down, but unfortunately so did we. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Baby Greenwaist go down, the laser beam was sent through her heart and I knew she was gone as soon as she hit. We were out numbered and had no chance, but I had to be positive, we had to fight. We were a team and no matter what it took I would keep fighting, I would die for them.
"Cryer!"
"No! Help him!" Garden yelled as Cryer was hit in the lower stomach.
"No! Get up! Come on! Get up!" I tried to lift him. He just closed his eyes, tears falling down his cheeks.
How dare they!
I got up and took out a few more, I felt bad killing another human being. But it was kill or be killed. In this time the murder of another human wasn't concidered against the law. It was necessary, the fight against BL/ind wasn't just rebellion. It was something you lived by, it was freedom.
As I ran from behind the car to the mailbox I felt a burning slice cut through my thigh. I didn't flinch or take notice to it.
"Rain!" It was Crimson Bow, I was teriffied. Crimson wasn't in the best shape, he was nearing 55 with severe heart problems and with the lack of medical attention it was a struggle. He was against the back of the car, clutching his chest. I ran, a Drac cracked me over the head with the back of his gun and my vision became blurry. I flipped around and sent a beam through his kneck before running to te car.
"No! Crimson! No! What's wrong?" I asked in a panic, it was loud and hard to see. Dust was everywhere, the sun may have been beating down but it was still hell.
"I'm hit!" He said moving his hand from the whole of blood on his chest.
"No, you can't!" I said, tears slipping down my cheeks. "You can't! I'm supposed to be the leader! I'm supposed to protect my group and now you's are all dying." I cried, a small smile formed his aged face.
"Rain, you only live forever in the lights you make." He said wisely. "In this life, your gun and mask are your bestfriends." He said slowly laying his head down.
"Crimson Bow, you are an inspiration. You made me the killjoy I am today, you're a father to me." I balled my eyes out even though the battle was still going on.
"Hey, shhhh. Goodnight." He said closing his eyes gently. My eyes cried tears like watering cans, I clenched my gun so tight, my teeth gritting together.
"You basterds!" I yelled before standing up and shooting my heart out.
I shot down Drac after Drac before a laser blew through my left shoulder, I could feel it slicing through my skin. For some reason, it didn't stop me. I kept going, for all I was I kept going, kept fighting.
A laser grazed my arm as I gave a punch to a Dracs stomach, he retaliated and smacked the gun off of my face, then he cocked me in the nose. I could feel the blood spilling down my throat, I got that one down and then noticed there was one left. It was standing over something, someone.
"Garden." I breathed as I stood, I shot the Drac in the head before it had a chance to hurt Garden anymore than she was. It feel to it's knees and then. "Garden Heart," I whispered resting on my knees, and holding her hand. Blood was pooling around her blonde hair.
"Hey, R.. ra.. Rainy," She said with a smile, she was stuttering and her voice was quiet.
"Shh, don't talk. Come on, let's go. I'll get you through this. You'll be fine." I tried helping her up.
"No, I won't." She said with a smirk, I kept trying.
"Rain." She said like a mother. "Stop," She whispered. I sat down and cried, what kind of leader let's their group die?
"Shh, don't cry. Not over us, we'll be in a safe place." She said, her cold fingers wrapping around mine.
"This is my fault, I let you's go. I wasn't good enough. I'm not strong enough to be the leader." I cried.
"Rainy, you are a born leader. Don't ever say that about yourself. You were the strongest out of us all." She said, her voice getting weaker.
"A leader puts their group before themselves, I'm not a leader if I'm the only one alive." I cried.
"Shh..." She said her eyes slowly closing.
"Garden! Wake up! Don't leave me!" I cried, my tears spilling down my face.
"Ca...Can I ask you a favor?" She asked her breathing getting shallower.
"Anything." I said through my muffled cries.
"Call me by my real name, just for now. I want to die as me." She said making me nod.
"You are my bestfriend, the most amazing bestfriend ever, Katie." I explained, she smiled at me.
"Keep runnin', Riley."
I will have the next chapter up soon, keep runnin', killjoys:)
