As the shadows of the ghoulies figures continued showing up on the other side of the window, banging on the glass with their hands, the glass began to break. I pulled out my machete, ready to fight and protect Wesley and Angelica. When it seemed like they were going to get inside, we heard the sound of arrows flying through the air, and the ghoulies began to fall to the ground. We all looked at each other confused. "Did someone just save us?" Wesley asks and I take a step back. "They just want our shit, and we will not give it up." Angelica says and looks at me, I just nod and look at the door leading to the back of the store. Both of them look that way as well and we begin to run. As we reach the door to the exit, I stop and slowly open the door, checking in case someone is there, waiting for us. When I don't see anyone, I open the door completely and we run out. Wesley and Angelica follow me as I make my way to my car. Then a few ghoulies appear in front of us. "Wesley do something." Angelica panics, realizing she left her weapon in the car. I run up to one of them and cut his throat. Then, one of them grabs me by the back of my neck and I fall to the ground, hitting my back and almost losing my breath. The ghoulie tries to take a bite of my neck. I push him off and he stumbles back. "Wesley cmon!" Angelica yells at him and he just stands there. I curse his samurai complex. The ghoulie catches some balance again and jumps on me. The rest begins to join. One of them bites my arm and the other pulls the bun I have my hair in. He manages to break the rubber band and my hair is now loose. I kick the one that bit me again, now he falls to the ground. I pick up my machete and kill the one that is trying to pull me by my hair. I get up and look at the one on my right. Then a car shows up, a familiar one. It hits the ghoulie and he flies far away. I check my arm and step back to Angelica and Wesley, standing in front of Angelica. I just have the instinct to protect her, I can't help it. The car door opens and I lower my weapon. I knew it looked familiar. It's the Cheermazons. "Hey, Michelle." I smile and walk toward her. "Hey, Demi." We hug. "How have you been? Is the tribe doing okay?" She looks at Wesley and Angelica and knows there is going to be trouble. You see I've been with the Cheermazons, for some time. Nobody knows it, mainly cause I left after like two weeks. Their whole thing is to kill all men. And I don't agree with that, sure, kill jocks and shit. But there are good men out there. I walk back to Wesley and Angelica. "Damn girl, you look good." Wesley says excited, cmon Wesley, don't make this harder. I flip my hair to make sure it's not a mess. "I don't dress for you." Demi answers and one of her girls brings her a bow and an arrow. "Cmon Demi." She just tilts her head and grabs it. Angelica visibly freaks out and stands up in front of Wesley. "Step away, we don't kill our own." "No, I guess you just have to shoot me." I smile and stand next to her. "Wesley is black and gay, he is the same as us." Angelica says and Demi gives us a super boring speech. "Cmon, we are friends Demi, he is my friend. Just let him be, we need to go and save our friend or he dies." "Josh has an infection, if we don't get to him with these antibiotics, he is dead." Wesley joins me. "Tenis Josh?" "No." "Small Josh with a big truck?" "Nope." "Gay Josh? Or the other gay Josh?" Does nobody really know him? He basically dated Sam for god's sake. "Just Josh okay?" She lowers her bow. "This once, and just because it's you. And you.." She looks at Angelica. And takes off her pyramid earing. Not this again. "Pyramid is the strongest shape, one side supports the other. You are brave, young sister. You can come with us." Angelica gets visibly excited. "You want me to join you?" Demi laughs. "You won't be joining anything yet, only the smartest girls get to join us, you have to pass the test first." "That's not discriminating at all." I add ironically, another thing I never agreed with, the tests. Sure accept only the smartest and shit, but don't basically kill the other. She looks at me and puts the earing into Angelica's hand. "The antibiotics?" Wesley says. "They can take the drugs to just Josh." Angelica takes the earring and looks at us. "We should go, we are still racing with death." She says and walks away. She is amazing I swear. I smile. "See you someday Demi." She smiles back and I and Wesley walk after Angelica. We get into the car and Angelica pulls her seat down and lays on it. I start the car and we get on our way. "You good?" I ask her. "Im okay." Wesley looks at her. "Why didn't you go?" "I like you guys, we make a pretty good team." She smiles and sits. I smile too and ruffle her hair. "I agree." She looks madly at me and then stops. "You look great with your hair down." I blow some of it from my face. "Thank you. I don't wear it like that anymore, ghoulies are grabby bitches." She and Wesley giggle. "Is your arm okay?" Wesley says and  I can tell he feels kinda guilty. "Don't worry Samurai. Im fine." We all sit quietly for some time. "Why was she so friendly to you?" Angelica asks while she plays with the earring in her hand. I search in my pocket until I find the other one. I and Demi had matching ones. I hand it to her. "Cause, well, I lied to you guys a bit." Angelica takes it and looks at me shocked. "Two weeks." I say and continue to look in front of me. "Why?"  I smile a bit sadly, I miss Demi. She is great, we had a lot of fun back then. "What can I say. I don't really want to kill all men." She looks down at the earrings. "Were you guys close?" I nod and my eyes begin to tear up a bit. I just wipe them with my hand. "It used to be fun. I was there when they only began to build that tribe. We got into some fights, and well, decided to take different roads in our lives." She nods and hands me back the other earring. "You had to be really close, no one matches outfits unless they are close." I giggle. "I have some old pictures we took at the beginning of the apocalypse." I search in my other pocket, I don't know why I still carry them around. I pull out an old polaroid photo, it's me, Demi, and Victoria. We are standing in front of the Cheermazons flag and we are hugging each other around the waists. I and Demi have similar outfits on and we are all laughing. I remember it like it was yesterday. I Hand it to Angelica. "She just made some stupid joke about Turbo and the Jockes and I did a parody on them. She always loved to match when we went out looking for others. She gave me that earring a few nights before I left, after one of our fights. 'We can work this out, lets's talk it out tomorrow, I'm sorry for being a bitch.' She said and I really thought we could." Angelica looks at the polaroid and smiles. "I always wanted this you know? A family you can choose, that protects you and takes care of you no matter what." Poor girl, it seems like she didn't have a good family back then either. "You have us now, it's not the biggest win but it's something right? A killer bitch that used to be a Cheermazon, Samurai with a complex, Prince Charming obsessed with saving someone who doesn't probably even need it, and a King of the mall." I laugh, we are truly a weird match. "Weird match huh?" I laugh and she joins me as Wesley does. "I like weird, and don't forget that we have the Witch." She says and laughs, even more, this is bizarre, I would never even begin to think that they are going to be the people I stay with. "Same Angelica." Wesley says and we park outside of the mall. We get out still laughing. "The king of the mall!" Angelica laughs so much that she can't breathe. "And think of this, our bomb genius is ten and she fights more than a fucking samurai!" I laugh back and open the door, we walk inside and I can see Eli listening to some music. "Stop laughing at me, you are the one that people call a' lonely wolf'! You know how cringe that is!" He laughs and Angelica joins him. "Super cringe!" I punch his arm. "Okay okay, killer kid and a pussy samurai, I didn't choose that name!" I laugh and play mad for a moment, then Wesley tickles me and I fall to the ground. "Stop it you asshole!" "Apologizeee!" "NEVER." I say with a serious face and laugh so much I lose the track of everything else. Angelica is sitting down cause she laughed so much she lost balance. "Okay I give up samurai!" I scream at him, I can't take this anymore. "That is a good girl." He says proudly. "What did you just call me! Angelica back me up." She throws her backpack on the ground and jumps on Wesley's back, they both fall on me. "My armmm nooo, Im dying!" I yell as their weight falls on my bitten arm. They roll over and we all end up laying on the ground giggling and catching our breath. I sit up and notice Eli with his headphones off just looking at us. I nudge into Wesley and he looks too. A sad expression appears and I can see that he is thinking. "Here." He says and hands me the remote. "Do what you think is right." I smile and get up. Angelica and Wesley do too and both walk away to work on the antibiotics. I look at Eli and walk up to him. "How was the travel?" He asks and walks to the gate and sits down. "Got attacked but we got what we needed." I smile and show him my arm. "Does it hurt?" I look at it and blow the hair off my face again, I need some rubber bands. "A bit." "Did Wesley bring the lotion?" He asks. "Nope, I didn't let him." "What? Why?" Cause I got lube, I'm not gonna give it to him yet though, first he will get something better. Freedom."Got ya something better." He looks at me. "What?" "First, tell me something Eli Cardasyan... Why were you here alone? Im sure someone came around." He looks down. "Nobody really likes me you know? They would just steal the mall and kick me out, that's what I thought you would do, that is why I trapped Angelica and Josh yesterday." He keeps looking down. "None of us would do that, don't worry. They may not seem like it, but they are great. Plus I wouldn't let them, I think people are quick to judge based on nothing, but if they... we, get to know you. You will make an excellent part of our little group."

Does she really think that? Why would she even want to get to know me? "You think?" I ask and finally look up, she is looking at me with a soft smile. She looks so beautiful with her hair loose, she looks beautiful overall. Sitting at the other side of the gate just smiling at me, it's giving me some hope. "Yes, and as I proper part of the group, you deserve some rights and a chance to prove to them who you are and that they can trust you, and I don't always want to talk through this gate... So, here is what I have for you." She pulls out a remote and opens the gate. I just sit there with my mouth open. She really managed to convince Wesley. How? "How?" I ask. "It took some deep conversations and speaking into his soul, nothing that hard." She smiles again and I cant help myself and hug her.
