California (or what's left of it)

Zone 4

Poison Heart looked over the barren desert, struggling to see the outline of her sister's Trans Am. She sighed. It worried her to know that her little sisters had been gone for so long. She knew it took them a while to find safe places to raid, and she had no one but herself to blame for her being left behind. She turned and kicked at the self painted motorcycle beside her.

"Shit! Son of a bitch!" she cussed, and hopped on her good foot.

She had found the bike when they had travelled to California, after… she shook her head. She didn't think about it anymore. Mom and Dad were gone. Nothing she could do now but take care of the younger girls. That's what she had promised them when they were in the warehouse. The sun started to set, and as soon as the glare went down, she saw the outline of the old car in the distance. She smiled. Static Symphony was driving, she could already tell, because of the speed that the car was travelling at. She could only imagine her other sister in the passenger seat, Graffiti Valentine, clinging to the car for dear life. It only took them about a minute to reach her, and when they did, the driver jumped out, smiling hugely.

"I think that's a new record, don't you, Val?" She looked over, and laughed. Valentine was shakily climbing out of the passenger seat, and mumbling something about how Static would 'kill her one of these days.' Poison looked at them and was reminded of when they were small and would bicker over anything, and how even though they were fighting to survive, as well as fighting to help others survive, they still found time to fight.

"C'mon girls, let's go home." She turned to her bike.

"NO!" Shouted Valentine, "I am NOT getting back in that car with her!" She pointed at Static, who smiled innocently and shrugged.

"Well, fine, then. Val, you get to drive, and Static, if you do anything to freak her out, I swear you will regret it." Poison hopped on her bike and throttled the ignition. The other girls scrambled to get in the car and start it before she left them. Before Poison could leave, Static put her head out the car window and shouted:

"Where is home tonight, Poison?"

"I found an old hut a few miles away. It'll do." And she took off into the night.
