Cecilia woke up with a start, her body was freezing and she couldn't see anything very well. She wasn't sure what had happened but she does remember that she is in cryo, and she touched the glass in front of her. The touch caused a shock to run through her fingers, that was colder than she thought it'll be. She was starting to panic, what happens if no one was going to come save or get her out? Was she going to die in this metal tube? She was banging on the door of the cryo tube when all of a sudden the tube opened. She wasn't expecting that to happen so she ended up falling face first into the ground, the blue jumpsuit ripping on her left arm in the process. "He-hello?" She called out to hear nothing respond to her, it was just accidental that her pod had opened.
Wiping off the dust that was on her clothes, she blinked for a moment. Why was there dust on her? She looked around her to see bodies of people everywhere around her trapped in the pods still, her heart was pounding in her chest. These people, they were dead! She was shaking softly when she remembered what happened to her mother, was her father also dead?! She slowly walked over to the pod to see her dad frozen in the pod, he looked awfully still, almost reminding her of the other people. Her vision started to blur from the tears that started to form over her eyes. "D-daddy?" As soon as the first drop spilled over her eyes, the tears kept on flowing down her cheeks. "DAD!" She started to bang on the glass to his pod, no matter how much she pounded on the glass, her dad didn't wake up. "Daddy! Wake up dammit! Don't just stay asleep there, you have to wake up!"She just kept on banging on the glass, she didn't know what else to do. "You promised me..." Her knees gave out on her and she fell to the ground, silently sobbing to herself. Her arms wrapped around her body as she cried out her feelings.
She has been crying at least an hour when she forced herself to stand up, using the pod to support her body. She had a hand over the glass, her tears still falling down her cheeks. She looked behind her to her mother's body, she looked also way too pale and still. She tightened her eyes and gritted her teeth. Her parents are dead, she's all alone in this world. She has no body else left in the world that knows who she is. She was going to start bawling her eyes again when she realized that her younger baby brother was kidnapped. She didn't care much for him but her father loved Shaun, probably even more than he loved her. He may be dead now... But Shaun is still alive and she knows that if her father knew that, he would search for him. She sniffed and wiped her eyes using the blue suit, the tears staining the color darker where they touched.
She touched her fingertips the glass, the cold wasn't as bad as the inside but it was still there. Cecilia still felt some tears fall down from her eyes as she looked at her dad. "I'll find Shaun, even if I have to look every under rock." She closed her eyes and screamed as loud as her voice would let her. The scream echoed around the small room until there was silence again. She remembered the way back to the front door, now she had to hope that she was able to get it open. She took a deep breath and held it for a moment before she made up her mind. She turned around from her father's pod and headed towards the door. While she was walking, a flashing button to her left caught her attention for a moment before she shook her head. She didn't want to mess with anything she didn't know how to use. Her mother drilled that rule into her head.
She got to the door and knew the button to open the door was right there, all she had to do was touch it, she just had to touch the button. Shakily lifting up her arm, she clicked the button and watched the door open, to reveal an empty hall way filled with spider webs and dust. The air was horribly stale. She was starting to hyperventilate as she took a step forward. She clicked the other side of the door's button to close it behind her.
"You got out before your dad?" Cecilia nodded to Maccready's question, she waited to see if he had anymore. "Wait, you said that you were going to go look for your brother since you thought your dad was dead. Did you find him?"
Cecilia shook her head, laughing softly as she did. "I didn't even have the chance to get pass Concord to start my search!" She had a soft smile on her face remembering the past. The present just feels like a long dream that she never could wake from. Maccready had asked her something but she wasn't paying attention, like always. "Repeat again."
He was slowly getting used to her zone out moments. Before he'd get so pissed but he's fine with repeating himself. But don't get him wrong, it still ticks him off at times but it's to be expected. He sucked in a breath and he grumpily said, "What happened?"
She looked over at him and a sparkle in her eyes appeared, that look always freaked him out. It was the same look that she gave right before she killed someone. She looked so happy, though, it was strange. "Raiders."
