Chapter Summary
Just a idea, might turn it into something. Perhaps time loops...
Chapter Notes
Warning: Written quickly, not beta'ed, and edits are not in depth. Will continue to edit and refine if I spot problems.
The warren had been compromised. There was noise. There was not suppose to be noise. It would have brought a wave. So much noise. Animals. Cars. Raiders. Where was the gun? Why does my body feel so heavy. I'm drooling.
I can hear the blood pounding in my head. Where's my belt? Where am I? Darkness, but light, where was that light coming from. Get up Hopps, get up. Survive. Another day. Another day. One paw, two paw. Like the academy.
Something soft and smooth under my claws, I can't get a grip. Something breaks. They'll find me. They'll find me! Crawl then. Crawl! Crawl for Nick. Nick. Where's Nick? Did he get loose? Nonononononononono.
Find a weapon...I'm not in the warren. Kitchen. Kitchen. Knife block. Most raiders didn't bother with the knife block. This place is...is...clean. So clean...knife. I need a knife. A weapon. Can of expired food. Whatever.
Get up. The doorknob. Get up. Snap. GET UP! Knife...the refrigerator was humming...I know this knife...why? Open the thing up. Cola. Greens. Take out. Shrimp. Milk. Eggs. Where am I?
Dare I try? The faucet. Where am I? It's smooth, lift up...water...clear water. Not brown, not black, not dust. Water...how come I am not hungry? This...
"Carrots?"
This is Nick. He's there. He's there. He's there. He's okay. He is okay.
"...nnnnickkk?" My mouth feels numb. I feel numb. I can't think. This...this is water...
"Carrots...Judy...what's-what's going..." He is okay. He is okay. He isn't wasting away. He isn't telling me to get the muzzle out of the cruiser. He isn't going quiet...
He needs to know we have supplies. There's supplies. Food. So much food. This is a godsend. This is so good. We will be fed for a week, maybe more. This is so good.
"tttthhheree'ssss waater.'
Why is my face wet...Nick is okay...he'll take watch. He will protect me. I can sleep. Another day. I can't stand up any more.
"Judy!" It will be okay...you're here Nick...it will be okay.
Sweet darkness.
This is a lie.
