Desert Escape
'Beep! Beep! Beep!'
"Ugh…" groaned Leena and she slapped her alarm clock away as if it was a buzzing fly. She sat up from her bed, swung her legs to the side and stood up. For the first time in her life, she was able to get out of bed, in the morning, by herself, without oversleeping past noon. She turned on the lights and glanced at her room. A small pile of bags and suitcases were pushed off to the side. They contained the necessities for her life. Clothes, money, toothbrush, makeup, weapon magazines and of course, a box of chocolate cookies.
Leena grabbed a black skirt and white colored tank top she had left on her drawer the night before. She grabbed a towel, slung it over her shoulder, and headed towards the shower room. It was still early. No one else was awake yet. (I'm referring to the shower room where Bit walked in on her, I wasn't sure if Leena had her own bathroom, so I'm using the other one instead)
Leena walked down the deserted hallways for what seemed like ages for her. She could see her own breath in front of her. She could only hear the soft hum of the base's power generator and sound of her own bare feet, lifting off the cold, metallic floor. Her body shivered, the cold, desert temperature slowing her down. Her peach colored pajamas provided little warmth. Leena wrapped her arms around herself and continued. A few lights flickered above her, almost if they were reaching for her. Calling out, begging her to stop. Leena rolled her eyes.
'Great Leena, now the light bulbs are conversing with you, maybe next the fridge will bitch at you for raiding it every night…'
Leena finally saw the meeting room and walked through. The doors opened, as she walked past the zoid game she had always played with Jamie. Leena hated losing, she was always a sore loser. She remembered when she had knocked it over once, simply to the fact Jamie had beat her.
'Poor Jamie, maybe I shouldn't have acted so immature…..'
With a sigh, she stepped through the door, discarded her clothes and turned on the showerhead. Leena closed her eyes as hot water beat down on her body, completely enveloping her. Water splashed against the tiled floor, disappearing into the drain. Steam filled the air, creating a warm mist. Her wet scarlet hair clung onto her cream colored skin. She could feel the warm liquid drip down her body. She wished she could've stayed in there forever. It was so comforting, it felt like her wounds were being washed away, her mind being cleansed, her misery leaving her. But no matter what happened, she still carried the scars.
Reluctantly, she cut off the shower, the remaining water spinning away. The mist began to settle, she was able to see clearly now. Leena picked up her towel she had hung on a rack and dried herself. She slipped on her clothes, brushed her teeth and tucked her pajamas under her arms, and walked out the door.
The cold air hit her suddenly, but she kept walking towards her room. The air wasn't as cold as before. Leena checked her watch. 8:05 it read. Jamie would be up soon. She had to hurry. When Leena reentered her room, she made one final check. She chucked her alarm clock in a suitcase, folded the blankets up and stuffed them along with her PJs in a lavender duffel bag. Leena slung a bag on each shoulder, and held a suitcase on both hands. The furniture and everything else she decided to leave behind. The Gunsniper could only hold so much cargo, and she wasn't about to drag her bed along with her. Leena walked out of the door, the bags swaying slightly on her shoulders. Before she headed towards the cargo bay, she gave one final glance at her room. It seemed so empty…so……..desolated…
Leena shook her head fiercely. 'God dammit Leena!! This isn't some stupid soap opera! Just pick up those fucking bags and GO!!!'
Leena gripped her suitcases tightly, clenched her teeth and left.
**************************************************************************** **********
Doc waited in the cargo bay for his daughter. He had stayed up all night, finishing up the last repairs for her Zoid. Doc saw his daughter walk towards him. He gave a small grin and waved to her. He was so amazed. She had so much of her mother in her. Her spirit, her strength, and of course her temper, the resemblance was so close it stunned him at times.
"Hi dad," Leena murmured.
"Everything is set to go, I double checked the Gunsniper and had the weapons and armor upgraded for you. I even installed a heat seeking system for you, just in case."
"Dad, that must have cost a fortune…you didn't have to do that for me…"
"Don't worry about it! Consider this as a loan, I'm sure you'll win plenty of battles on your own so you can pay me back then!" Doc jokingly said.
Leena dropped her bags and gave her father one last final hug.
"Thanks dad, for everything." Leena whispered in his ear.
She pulled back, grabbed her luggage and climbed up a ladder leaning against her zoid. She threw her luggage in the storage compartment and jumped in the cockpit. She hit a few buttons, activating the Gunsniper. While the control panel ran through several system checks, she could hear her dad yelling.
"Leena?!!? What do you want me to tell the others?!?"
She swallowed hard and looked down at Doc.
"Tell them, that I need some time alone. Tell Brad I'm sorry about wasting the ammo, tell Jamie I'm sorry for being so childish and tell Bit that…."
For a split second, Leena was about to spill her feelings out. To say the words she had hidden away and she so desperately wanted to speak but too terrified of the outcome.
"Nevermind," Leena quickly added.
Leena closed the cockpit window and gave a last wave to her dad. Her Gunsniper turned towards the opening cargo bay doors and ran off into the desert. Alone.
This is NOT the end!!! This is NOT the final chapter! So don't freak out! I promised Shiro Mibu that I wouldn't end it like this! So expect another chapter soon! Read and review please!
