I don't own gone. Or anybody from gone. Expect Eris/Arabella. If you take them I. WILL. KILL. YOU. Joking, (maybe)
When I woke people were trying desperately to found a place to safely store the food. Edlilio was doing the best to help but it was clear the events I'd caused were taking his toll. He had dark circles under his eyes. I wonder as I get dressed I wonder if he got any sleep last night.
As I walk out he's trying to lift a fallen rafter, and I can see that it's heavy because I can see his muscles straining. Running over I help him. It's heavy even with to people lifting it and he's taking most of the weight.
"Why'd you try and lift it all by yourself?" I ask.
"What?" He asks
"This hunk of wood must weight at least a hundred pounds, probably more."
"Well, before the FAYZ, my dad worked at the golf course, and sometimes I helped."
"The phase?"
"No, the FAYZ. It's something this kid named Howard came up with. It's the Fallout Alley Youth Zone."
"Oh," I said quietly.
For a while we worked in silence.
"Do you have any siblings?" He asked
That question stopped me dead. I could have lied. I could have made up some story. I should have kept my mouth shut. I shouldn't have given that much information away. But instead I said "Um, no, but I have some cousins here, we were going to suprise them when we showed up."
"Oh, do you have any cousins that are fourteen or under?"
"Oh, I really don't know. We used to be really close but them we kind of lost contact" I said shrugging "We were going to reconnect with them, but, well the rest you know." I trailed off sadly. "And you?"
"Two brothers who dissapered when the FAYZ wall came up." He answer quietly
"That sucks."
"Yeah, it does."
"Do you have anyway I can get some food?"
"Yeah, but," He hesitated for just a moment and I realized something. He liked me. It took me a moment to realize I could use this to my advantage, but another part of me didn't want to.
"But what?" I asked.
"Um, you could go," It was clear most of the jobs were awful. In a way in pissed me off more than I could say.
"You know what?" I asked brightly. "It's fine. I know what I want to do."
"Really? What is it?" He asked shocked.
"You'll see," I said mysteriously.
The next thing I did was find a house. It had white siding with a dark red door. It was in the nicer side of town but pretty far away. I'd probably move when the time came. It was a nice five bedroom, four bathroom, three level house.
It was nothing like the shitty apartment me and my mother lived in. My parents were never married. My mom was my dad's mistress. His wife was this heiress who made her money off of hair spray or something. Anyways in order to keep me a secret my dad gave my mom a thousand a month, which she spent on fancy clothes and things that she'd never use. She was a compete party girl and I completely hated her.
I was in the master bedroom now. there was the this huge vanity shoved up agaist the wall, loaded with cosmentic and speak of the devil, my dad's wife's hair spray. Then I looked in the mirror. I hadn't aged a day. Not a single fucking day. I was fourteen. Why wasn't I sixteen! When I went to the mine again the Darkness and I were going to have a serious disscusstion.
Quickly I went to the sports store and went to the hunting section. I walked past the empty gun case and when to the bow's and arrows section. The idiots. Maybe the didn't think they were dangers. They were wrong, but their also really useful. They would supply Drake them and me food.
When I went out that night I practiced hitting the target. The first five time I completely missed the tree that I'd carved a bulls-eye on, but the sixth I finally it the base of the tree. It wasn't accurate and would defiantly scare away the prey, but by the tenth time I'd hit the target.
"Playing Robin Hood are we?" A cruel snarky voice drawled. Startled I spun around to face Drake.
"I thought I told you to stay put," I spat, angry at being scared.
"Well, I got bored."I glared at him. How was this bastard going to help me. He was not a soldier, like Edilio. He was a snark jackass.
"Look, stay put or I will make you stay put got it?
"Yeah, sure what ever." Stupid Sadist. The Darkness really wanted him to assit me.I frowned. He was all I had. for now.
Ok please review. Also if you have any consructive critsisom I'm open to it.
Thanks
