I glared at Gerard. I got up and followed Krista. She had walked right away and didn't hear me call for her. I ran through the building and out the other side, just as the Dracs pulled up and dragged her away. She didn't even try to fight back. I grabbed my gun and started shooting at them but they were too fast. I felt one of their shots hit me straight in the arm and I winced. I ran back through the building and gathered the others. “We have a problem!” I shouted. They all looked at me.
“What happened to your arm?”
“I got shot but that isnt the issue here!”
“Let's get you cleaned up and you can tell us in there” Ray said. I groaned and nodded, following them anyway. “What happened?” he asked, as everyone was busy getting bandages and other items.
“Dracs. I followed Krista out the back and she ignored me and kept walking and then Dracs came and just took her. This wouldn't have happened if someone hadnt said what they did!”
“I tried to say sorry!”
“Didn't do a good job there did you?! Now she's been taken, again, by the Dracs and the worst bit? She didn't even try to stop them she just let them take her!” I yelled. I could feel the anger building up.
“Your done by the way” Ray mumbled. I nodded and I hopped off the table and out to the car.
“Where are you going?”
“To get her back. If you dont care then fine dont bother coming but i'm going” I hissed, getting in the car and starting it. I heard the passenger door open and Frank climbed in next to me.
“She's my sister. I'm coming with you” he said quietly. I nodded and the back doors opened and Gerard and Ray climbed in.
“I'm sorry. It was a stupid thing to say. Forgive?”
“When we get her out, maybe. But right now I'm more focused on getting her out” I hissed. The car fell silent as we drove.
I sat quietly in the little cell I had been thrown in, thinking about what was said. I sighed. “Hey. Are you ok?” I heard, coming from the room next to me. I looked around to see a girl in the cell next to me.
“Uh yeah. Sorry whats your name?”
“Oh I'm Battery Heart. I'm a killjoy from the zones and I was out on patrol and I got caught” she said, smiling. I gave her a half smile back.
“I'm Atomic Party. I got pissed off with one of my Killjoys and walked out on them and got caught” I explained. She looked shocked.
“I've heard your name before. From Dr Death Defying's radio shows. Are you with the Fabulous Killjoys?”
“Yeah but we had a fight” I sighed.
“Keep the noise down in there or someone gets ghosted” a voice came through. I rolled my eyes and tried to move my fingers. Still nothing. I sighed.
“What happened to your arm?”
“I got shot a few days ago and my left side got paralysed and now my arm won't move” I explained.
“Sounds painful” she responded. I nodded. The door opened and a Drac walked in, grabbing my good arm and ripping me out of the cell. I winced in pain and followed him without fighting. I sighed as I got thrown into another room. I knew what was gonna happen.
Minutes felt like hours and hours felt like days. Everything ached and my body was completely bruised and battered and the beatings had now become normal since I was sitting there saying nothing. The only things I told them were to go fuck themselves with a blade and to go to hell. I only got hit some more after that. “Your only getting yourself in a worse state you know. The more you keep quiet the more that we hurt you” a voice said. I didn't bother looking up. What was the point? They dragged me up again after another round of beatings and threw me back in my little white cell, blood dripping down my face.
“God you look like hell” Battery said. I nodded and grinned.
“The less they know the more they beat the crap out of me. How long have you been in here anyway?”
“just over a week I think. I'm not sure there arent any windows so I couldn't tell you” she said.
“what about your Killjoys? Arent they looking for you?”
“It's only 3 of us really. There's me, Electric Gunner and Cyanide Diamond.”
“Wow. I have 4 others with me. Well I say that. I dont even know if their looking for me” I replied.
“What are their names?”
“Kobra Kid, Jet Star, Fun Ghoul and Party Poison. He's the one I had a fight with and I walked away from.”
“I cant believe you run with the Fabulous Killjoys. I'm so jealous. When did you start?”
“Just after the world ended. Banded together and started fighting. Fun Ghoul is my brother so I didn't really have a choice” I laughed. She smiled. For once, I felt safe and calm talking to this other Killjoy.
“We're here” I said, getting out the car. We noticed two bikes pull up next to the car. Two girls jumped off them one of them had a green and yellow bandanna around her face and had dark brown hair tied into a messy pony tail and was wearing a green leather jacket with a yellow top and black jeans. She turned around and looked at us.
“Your... No way. Diamond, pinch me I think I'm dreaming” the girl said. I gave her a confused look. “Why are the Fabulous Killjoys here?”
“We're rescuing someone. Who are you two?”
“I'm Electric Gunner and this is Cyanide Diamond” she said pointing the girl with long black hair, holding a black and red bandanna in her hand. She nodded, not really saying anything. I nodded. “We're here to rescue someone as well” she said. I nodded and we all grabbed our guns and ran in, shooting everything and everyone we saw that was in white. We took a turning and ran into the area that the holding cells were in. “Heart! Your ok!”
“Yeah just a bit sore from their fun little bulling session” she said, grinning. We managed to bust the doors open, setting off the alarms. We dove in, grabbed Krista and we all made a dash for the exit. A sudden wae of da ja vu poured over me and we shot at the Dracs chasing us.
“You wanna come back to the base with us to rest up?”
“If it's ok with you then please” we were having a conversation while shooting Dracs. Interesting.
