Chapter 2:
Malik Hancock, snap back to reality when he realize that he is in deep shit. His life is at mercy of this strange girl. If, this continue he will not know what this girl will to do him, and he don't want to wait more longer to figure that out. So, he tried to budge his arm, and body. Surprisingly, the Moth girl is pretty strong, and her hand grip is totally seize his arm, and his torso. In other words, he is completely at the mercy of this girl.
"等待...(wait…)" Moth girl said with a quizzical looks. "You don't smell like a, 坏人. (bad person)"
"Hua...ren." the former ranger reply with his clueless face.
" Duìbùqǐ (I am sorry)" she apologize kindly, and she glance at him with her trouble face "What I mean is that, you don't smell like those bad guys or what do the locals call them…. ….Shì! (yes!)...R-Raiders. You call them raiders right!."
"Okaayy…." Malik said as he eyeing the moth girl in curiosity. "Tell me, how do you know the difference between me, and those Raiders just through your nose?"
"Jiǎndān! (simple!)" the white hair girl reply with enthusiasm while her ruby eyes dazzling like stars, and her feathery antennae is twitching in excitement. "Those baddies smell like blood, gunpowder, and, chems. In other words, they smell Lèsè! (rubbish!)."
then, the Moth girl cutely stick her tongue out in disgust. "Talking about garbage…..now, it reminds of the taste of that raider woman. I think she is the closest garbage i ever taste in my whole life…..ewww. Now, i am regretting biting that human trash."
The moth girl glance at Malik with interest, and her exoskeleton hand slowly reaching for his collar. "Unlike, you….."
"Whoa!" ranger said in surprise when the moth girl grab his collar, and pull up his half body closer to her.
Then, she press her face closer on his neck which made the ranger feel uncomfortable. She sniff at every nick, and corner of his neck, and his coat while her feathery antennae stroking his gas mask. Also, her moth wings is flapping in excitement. Then, she began muttering about how he smells.
"I mostly smell the sands, and dust stain on your scent that means you use to live in the desert wasteland. Also, i smell of mountain, ridge, and the old asphalt of the country road. Looks like you been travelling a lot of places in wasteland." the moth girl said while her antennae is waving in excitement. Then, she push him down to the floor, and she lean on the top of his chest which made her bountiful bust squished against his steel chest. then, she continue to sniff at Malik. "Also, i smell a unique scent coming from you. I smell a fresh green of grass, the fresh bark of a tree, sweet aroma of flower, and fresh water stream. Weird, you smell like something you found in Oasis. A place that never exist in the wasteland….."
'Hold on, she manage to know that i been in Oasis at Capital wasteland just through her nose!?' Malik said on his own thought while he is bewilder of her ability to smell.
The moth girl raise her torso up, and place her hands on his steel chest. Then, she glance upon the dusty man with her red eyes dazzling like stars, and her rosy cheeks is reddened up like tomato.
"Human, your scent is unique…." she said while she heavily breathing in seductive way. "I like it…."
The former ranger spine got shiver when he notice the odd expression of this white hair girl. He start sweating nervously, and try to call her out.
"eehhh...ah...Miss, are you alright? Miss to Earth can you hear me?" He said as he swallowed his own saliva.
The moth girl blinked until she realize what she just done. Her rosy cheeks blush madly when she realize that she had done embarrassing things to him. Thus, her antennae twitch in panic, and she said. " Duìbùqǐ! (I am sorry!), i did n-not meant to do that….I-I just got fascinated by you."
"You mean you are fascinated of how i smell?" Malik tease her.
"Shì(yes)..I mean NO!" the Moth girl reply in bashful way. She shook her head furiously, and she start to move in clumsy manner. Then, she shyly glance at him, and she put her index fingers together to fidget. "What i mean….that i got so interested in you that I really want to know more about you, human. So…...can you please tell me you nam-"
The moth girl pause. Her red eyes flare up like a torch, and her antennae perk up. Then, she look behind her, and she glance at the back gate of the storage room.
"They are here." moth girl grimly muttered.
"Who is here?" Malik asked.
"Those Raiders are still hunting me." Moth girl said while she grab the collar of the ranger, and she gently pull him up from the ground. "Go, human. You must go now!"
"What!? No, let me..whoa!" He said in surprise when the moth girl push him out of the storage room. "Wait, what are you doing!?"
The moth girl glance at the ranger with her wistful eye before she close the door, and lock it.
The ranger hold the door handle, and budge it. "Darn it, she lock the door. There must be other way."
He glance around the counter room, and there he found an open door that lead to the basement.
She spread her huge wings out, and fly up to the ceiling. She hang in a ceiling upside down where her wings face the ground. Then, she spread her wings to cover her body completely, and the color of her wings suddenly blend in with the color of the ceiling. Lastly, she is using her feathery antennae to detect her prey movements.
The garage gate open, and three raiders storm in the storage room. Two of them wearing a leather armor, and light clothes. And the one who leading them are wearing a raider power armor without the helmet.
"Let's go find that Moth bitch!" the raider in power armor said.
The three raider walk into small narrow path where they are surrounded of tall shelves at each side. The moth girl antennae twitch when she detect raiders movement. She creep her way to the raiders position until she found them below. Then, she gently flap her wings to release a powdery scale from her wings.
The three raider can see powder falling upon them. Once the raiders inhale the strange dust, their vision start to become hazy.
"God damn! I don't remember taking chems today…..alright, maybe i did!" the power armor raider said as he try to shake it off.
As soon as the three raiders sense become dull. The moth girl swiftly jump down, and her two feet land on the back of the raider which led to break his spine. then, she swiftly thrust her kick into the side gut of one of the raider which he land into the shelves, and got knockout.
After, she took out the two raider. She unsheathe her Chinese officer sword, duck down, and she forcefully stab her sword into the rusty servo joint of the leg power armor. Result, the raider forced to kneel, and unable to move his one leg.
"Shit! Shiiitttttt!" the raider in power armor shout in panic. He pull up his pipe rifle, and pull the trigger blindly.
The moth girl quickly react from the bullet spray. She swiftly jump over the head of the raider, and climb over the tall shelves as bullets follow her. Then, she went over to the other side of the shelves, and she blend in with the shadow.
"Fuck, Where is she!?" the power armor raider cursed while his vision becoming more distorted.
The raider try to pull out the sword that stuck on his servo joint leg, and glancing around in panic.
The moth girl is hanging up on the ceiling just above the power armor raider. Then, she jump down, and ride on the back of the raider. Then, she grab his head, forcefully twist it, and snap his neck. Thus, the raider fell down to the ground, and lay dead. Although, the knockout raider manage to wake up, and grab a rusty rod pipe. Then, he stood behind the moth girl.
"You going to pay for that, you bitch!" the raider shout in anger while he raise his crude pipe in the air. The moth girl gasp in surprise before she turn around.
-bang!, bang!-
Blood spilling from the raider lips. He fall down to the ground, and it show a bullet hole on the back of the raider. The moth girl stood, and look for the person who just save her. Then, her ruby eye went wide once she saw the dusty man standing in front of her.
The ranger duster coat billowing behind him, and his Chinese assault rifle rest on his arms. Also, their is smoke coming out on his rifle muzzle, and a two bullet case lay on the ground.
"Are you alright?" the ranger asked with concern.
She falter a bit, and she look at him with her bewilder eye. "Y-you came back for m-me, but why?"
"I came back for you because i can't just leave you behind, and let you face them all by yourself." the ranger said with a worried tone. "Also, why did you discard me like that? I could help you fight them!"
"because most humans i saved or met mostly ran away in fear or save themselves. So, i also expect you will ran away from me too." the moth girl reply while she felt something heavy on her chest. At the same time, she feel hopeful . "B-But, why? Why did you return to save a freak like me?"
The ranger stroke his nape, and said. "Well, because i cannot simply save my own ass, and leave a girl like you all alone against them."
She glance at him with her baffle face, and muttered "g-girl…."
Then, the moth girl walk closer to him, and she grab his hands. Her bright ruby eyes stare at his red visor and said. "You mean that you t-treat me like a h-human girl."
The ranger got surprise of her unexpected move. Also, seeing her this close. Made him realize that she is really this cute.
Malik gulped, and reply nervously. "W-well you are definitely not human, but in the end you are still a girl. And i should treat you like a girl just how i treat any other human girls."
The moth girl stare blankly at him, and digest those words for a moment. As soon as she realize what he meant. Her rosy cheek heat up like a fire, and her feather antennae is dancing in joy.
"S-so, you see me like a human g-girl" the moth girl cutely mumble in Mandarin while she feel bliss on her chest.
Then she tightly hold on Malik hands, and her puppy eye look up to his red visor. "Human, i want to tell you something…...I want to tell you that I-"
Suddenly, the moth girl stomach growl in hunger which just completely ruin the atmosphere. She quickly move away from Malik. Then,her rosy cheeks blushed up furiously, and she use both of her palm hand to hide her blushing cheeks from him.
"I-I am really sorry, i did not meant to do that." Moth girl reply in panic, and she feel embarrass. "You s-see, i have n-not eat proper food for weeks."
"don't worry, i understand. I also have not e-" Malik got interrupted when his gut also growl in hunger. Which made him blush a bit, under his mask. "e-eat proper food for days too."
They blankly stare each other. Then,The Moth girl, and the former ranger chuckle together when both of them realize that they are really hungry. Also, the ranger think something that will benefit for both of them.
"You know i just remember that i have to pick up some green paint for Abbot." Malik said with friendly tone. "You know, after i get my caps. How about i treat you something to eat."
"Y-you sure?" the moth girl reply.
"Yeah, i am sure. Also, i am looking forward to travel with you" The ranger said with a smile.
" S-Shénme!?(w-what!?)" Moth girl reply in surprise. "Y-you want to travel with me?!"
"Yeah, i want to travel with you." Malik said bluntly. "And, remember you said back then. That you want to know more about me. So, i figured that if we travel together. We will know more each other. Right?"
"Shì (yes), you are right…" the white hair girl reply in bashful manner.
"Also, if you stick with me. You be able to visit human settlement without getting shooed away by human residents." Malik said with a smile on his lips. "Sooo, do you agree to travel with me?"
The moth girl nod in excitement, and bliss. "Shì, i want to travel with you."
"Good, welcome aboard!" Malik said with a warm tone in his voice. Then, he offer his hand for handshake. "By the way, My name is Malik Hancock. Just call me Malik."
The moth girl blink when she realize that she also forgot to introduce herself. So, she shook his hand, and reply with a cheerful tone. "My name is Yu Yan, and I look forward to travel with you."
"Same here!" the ranger said with enthusiasm, and a smile on his lips.
Then, he turn around while his dusty coat billowed behind him, and said. "Let's go, we are burning daylight here."
"umm...ah..Malik."
Malik halt, and he look back. Then, he glance at the cute moth girl with his puzzle expression.
"Yes?" the former ranger asked kindly, with his eyebrow raise.
Yu Yan rosy cheek blush up, and she show him a sweetful smile. "Xièxiè! (Thank you!)"
