A/n: Sorry I have taken so long to post another chapter. Life is crazy,
crazy, crazy. There are only a few things you can do about it, but writing
hasn't fit in there. I was stuck on what to do for this chapter. Last
chapter was okay, but there were so many more things I wanted to express.
I reread it and couldn't see any of the points I wanted to get across. Oh
well, I hope this chapter comes out good. I'm still trying to get past my
writer's block.
Chapter 6
Things happen in life that forces us to make a choice. We are presented with these two or more choices. My choices were not difficult at the time. My situation made my view on the choices obscured. One choice was to let him continue with his onslaught to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and choose death over life. Another was to bring it to the authorities, but that wouldn't help. I had seen with my mother's case, how he made his truth theirs. I wouldn't have been able to live with the look of triumph that would have overcome him. Lastly, the road I took that lead me here, to this hell that just might hold an angel of mercy.
It was dark outside and I hadn't seen Simply since the fight. She didn't go to dinner, wasn't seen in the wreck room, or in the tent. The only other place that was left was the land outside the area of the tents, our digging ground. She would have to be a little stupid to stay out there after dark. There were many snakes and not to mention yellow spotted lizards. She could be dead.
"Yo guys, have any of you seen Simply." Everyone just stared at me.
"Who's Simply," asked X-Ray.
"The girl."
"That's her name?"
"That's what she told me."
"That's sounds more like a nickname. You didn't give her a nickname. Did you?"
"No X, I didn't give her a nickname. I asked her for her name and she told me it was Simply."
"Good, but I haven't seen and I thank God for that."
God that was aggravating. "Has anyone seen her?" Everyone just shook there heads. God, that means she had to be out there.
"Hey, why are you so worried about that crazy chica anyway," asked Magnet.
"I think Zig is crushin' on someone," nudged Squid.
"I think Zig wants to tap that," added Armpit.
Great, now they think I like her, but don't I? "It's not that. If she isn't here tomorrow to dig, we are gonna get it from the Warden. She's gonna think we did something." Everyone started. Nobody wanted the Warden to come down on us. Aggravating the Warden was never good. The only thing I hoped was that I found Simply first. If anyone else found her they might find out how much more kung fu she knows. Then she might never come back.
We walked out onto the desert floor spreading out. I walked for what seemed like an hour before I saw her. She was lying on the ground and not moving. Her orange overalls were closed up and her hair was untied. I moved closer to her and saw she was almost completely surrounded by holes, except for a narrow walkway. She was curled up facing the narrow path. I walked closer and saw it. It was a lizard with yellow spots. Simply was awake and staring at the lizard. No fear showed in her eyes as she got up to her knees. The lizard showed it's fangs and then jumped at Simply.
A/n: Damn, writer's block. It's not my best work, but it's going to have to do.
