Today I am visiting Phoenix, Arizona. It is so warm here, I love it.
"Well..." Josh sighs as we drive away. "That went well."
"That was not my fault" Logan says.
"It wasn't anyone's fault..." Phooka says.
"Well actually..." Eve starts but is cut off by the glare she receives from all of us. We had just raided a small warehouse, and ended up blowing the place up, along with our cars and everything in them. Now we were riding in a bus, Josh was driving and we were all exhausted.
I shut the light off above me and lay across the two seats. "Try to keep it down would ya?"
"No promises." Logan grins. I ignore him and shut my eyes.
Click.
"Hm?" I hum as I open my eyes. I look up to see Phooka was driving now, but everyone else was asleep. The early sun was barely peaking over the horizon.
Out of the corner of my eye something moved. The floor...? No, a board acting as the floor, covering a luggage compartment.
A head covered with red hair pops out. A girl crawls across the floor and I watch confused as she makes her way toward Phooka. As she is about to pass me I stick my axe out. She looks up, shocked.
"Where do you think you're going?" I ask, still a little sleepy.
"Uhm... I...
"Logan!" I yell. Logan's eyes pop open a few seats away from me.
"What?" He growls.
"Take care of this for me." I point at the girl and go back to sleep.
Rays of sun fill the bus with a pleasant feeling of rejuvenation. We aren't moving anymore but we're stopped outside of a gas station. I look around and see that I'm the only one here. I sigh, stretch and sit up. No one was outside.
I get out of the bus and walk into the gas station.
"Hello...?" I ask walking in.
Something whizzes past my face.
"Get down!" Eve yells at me.
"Was that a bullet?" I ask, not moving. "Did someone just try to shoot me?"
"Move, Lumina!" Phooka hisses.
"I swear to god if someone just tried to shoot me-" Eve grabs my leg and pulls me behind the cash register.
"Let's play the silent game." Phooka whispers, smiling. She the proceeds to turn and shoot at whoever was attacking us.
I sigh, sick of this and dare to stand up. "Everybody just stop!" I yell. Surprisingly the shooting stops and all goes silent. "Okay, it's clear we all got off on the wrong foot here. Let's all be civil, since the population is already dwindling on little to nothing, and shooting each other isn't going to do any good for us."
The room is still for a moment and then everyone comes out of hiding. A boy and two girls are the only ones I don't recognize.
The boy takes off his hat and bows his head. "My apologies, miss." The girls look like they could be twins, both had the same dark red hair. Although one was clearly older than the other, and she had much shorter hair than the younger one.
"We either part ways now or help each other out." I say. "You decide."
The boy looks at the two girls and they nod. He turns to me and smiles, "I think we can work some'n out."
"Great. My name's Lumina." I shift my axe to my left hand.
"This is Kelly," He gestures to the girl with the longer hair. "And this is Rose." He points toward the older girl. "I'm Bennett."He shakes my hand. "It's a pleasure."
"Welcome to the team." I grin.
Sorry if it's short. I'm suffering jet lag... I'm tired... I don't even know if I spelled jet lag right...
Goodnight(-｡-;
