Thief Sleeps In My Bed

by Dabbles R Us

Sera fell to her knees. She hit the ground hard but she barely felt it. The world was spinning. Her heart, pounding. Tears stained her cheeks as she stared up at the sky. She let out a loud, half-broken scream and pounded her fists into her thighs. "Shite! Friggin stupid pissbag arsebucket frig shite."

Slim laid a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, not sure what else to say.

Sera shrugged him off and looked down at Jenny's corpse. Her red hair mingled with the blood that had seeped from her head. Sera brushed a strand of it from her face. "Stupid. You shouldn't have gone alone, stupid, stupid!" she whispered.

Sera got to her feet and grabbed her bow. "C'mon, then. First, we kill the friggin jackhole that killed Jenny."

Slim grabbed Jenny's daggers. "And then what?"

Sera grinned but it wasn't her usual happy smile. "Then we go on, same as ever. We're just people, right? And people can't hurt forever, yeah?" At least, she hoped that was the way it worked.
