Maria looked through the scope of her rifle and saw a smoothskin in her cross hairs. She smiled.
She hadn't seen a smoothskin in years. She aimed her cross hairs at his legs and shot him. He quickly collapsed.
She got up from her sniper nest and walked down the hill to his unconscious body.
He had a vault suit on. She looked at the number and saw that he came from vault 13.
So he spends his time around ghouls now?She lifted him up and carried him to her cave home.
She laid him down on the bed and tied him down. I waited to long to pick him up. His legs won't work now.
Great I have to amputate them.She got an ax and cut both his legs off. She then cut her wrist and let her blood pour into the clean cut. As soon as she did this his bleeding stopped and his wound healed. She looked at him and felt bad for shooting him. She didn't think he would have a thing for ghouls.
As Grym woke up he noticed he was tied down. He check his surroundings was surprised he was in a cave. He felt a draft on his knee caps. He looked down and in horror he screamed as he saw his legs separated from his knees. He tried to get up but he was tied down. He looked around frantically to find a way out.
He was in a cave. He screamed for help and no one came. He screamed again and he felt someone put hands over his mouth. "shh. Its ok.". She said. He looked up at her with fear. She pulled her hand away from his mouth. "please let me go" he said.
She shook her head. "sorry but I can't do that". He tried to move. "I shot you in both your legs. I'm so sorry. I thought you were an intruder" she said.
He looked down and sighed. "I wanted to see the world and now I can't even do that". She put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll try to find you some prosthetic" she said.
She got out a pot and opened her back pack and put some Rad roach in it. She got a fire started a few feet away from the bed and set it to let it cook.
She grabbed the sliced part of his legs and put it in a container so it would turn to fertilizer without it smelling the entire cave. She sat right next to him. "can you please untie me? I don't have anywhere to go and if I did I couldn't walk" he said.
She sighed. "fine" and she untied him and he sat up and faced him self at the fire. He looked at his nubs. "you better find some sort of functional legs or I'm gonna have to burden you with you having to take care of me" he smiled.
She looked at him and laughed. "yeah, no." she said in a rough voice.
She walked down to the RoboCo prosthetic factory. She immediately found what she was looking for. She carried the prosthetics all the way to the cave. She went in and saw Grym sleeping. She got out her knife and cut his nubs open and put the prosthetics on his nubs. They drilled into his bones and hooked into it.
Then it sent tubes to grab his nerves. They connected and then it burnt the edge of the prosthetics into his skin. He woke up screaming.
He looked down and saw his new legs. He immediately stood and he cheered. She smiled. "see now you have legs. Now you can go" she said.
He looked at her and shook his head. "why don't you come with me? Why don't you come with me to see the world?" he asked. She looked at him and did her best smile she could but barely could since she didn't have the skin to do so.
She nodded. "I'll go. Not because you want me to but I still owe you for crippling you". He smiled a little.
They walked out into the waste land together. The wasteland will soon test these two and their relationship.
