Living Life In The Zones (My Chemical Romance Fanfic)

Chapter Five: Escape! And Rescue...?

Lydia's POV

I noticed Victor got uneasy when we passed the toll booth, so I started walking a little faster. I asked him what time it was; he said it was around 1:30am-ish. I looked around and saw a small group of rocks that had a tree with lots of foliage in the middle of them. I steered us towards the space.

"We'll rest here for the night," I said, "We've been walking for a while."

I pulled out two pillows (no blankets cause it was hot!). We then exchanged 'goodnights' and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it was 10:00am or something when I woke up. I took a granola bar out of my bag and started to eat it when I noticed something-- someone to be exact from a small break between the rocks.

I realized that there were four of those vampire masked people. I started to shake Victor awake.

"Get up! We have company!" I whisper-yelled at his face"

I looked out the small hole/space and accidentally made eye contact with one of them.

The masked man pulled out a gun and shot at me, I quickly moved out of the way and saw the energy beam bullet fly right in front of my face.

Fucking accuracy...

I crawled out of the back of the space, Victor doing the same. I saw the masked men getting ready to ambush our spot and something in me took it as a chance to attack.

I ran out behind them while Vic distracted them by making himself a moving target. As they weren't paying attention, I grabbed the one in the back, grabbed his gun and shot him in his head.

Catching the attention of the others, with the gun still in my hands, I fired again, hitting another in his chest. Victor tackled one to the ground, and I tossed him the gun. He fired a round and killed him.

I was grabbed, which set Vic off. He threw a punch at it, which caused it to let me go. Then, he stepped back and roundhouse kicked the last one in the head causing a sickening crack to ring out. I shuddered.

I gestured to Vic to get our stuff while I stayed on guard. A few minutes later I heard a loud "FUCK!" Followed by a thud.

I turned around and saw Victor on the ground looking like a tired packmule. I laughed a little and went to help him up.

Then we continued our walk to who knows where...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After what seemed like hours. I was about to stop and rest until I saw a dust cloud on the horizon headed our way.

"Shit!" I yelled as I grabbed Vic's arm towards a rock formation that was big enough to hide us.

It turns out, the dust cloud was a car, and the car stopped very close to us. As I noticed that the car wasn't a BL/ind one, four men stepped out.

One was somewhat tall and had very puffy hair, in fact, so puffy it'd devour you. Another was very short, had long black hair and was ironically standing next to a tall blonde. Lastly, there was one with bright, firetruck-y, red hair. I felt my eyes widen.

It was them.

"I'm not crazy, but you did see people here a minute ago, right?" Said Mr. 'Fro.

"He's not crazy guys, I saw them too!" Said Fun-Size, looking around.

"It could've been a hallucination," said Blondie.

"No, I'm serious I saw them!"

"Alright! Calm down, Fun. We'll split up and search. Make sure they're not Dracs," Redhead commanded. They did as they were told.

As I watched them, I thought about everything I know about these "Killjoys"...

"Are they bad guys or something?"

"Worse, they're a group of dangerous terrorists out to destroy the very organization who managed to protect the city."

He then showed me a wanted poster displaying four men.

"We're on a mission. Just, get out of our way before I blow your brains out."

I realized they're on our side, they're the enemy of our enemy!

I was brought out of my thoughts when Victor started poking me to get my attention.

"Um, Lyd?"

I turned around, only to be met face-to-face with Fun-Size, who had a big smirk on his face.

"Why, hello children!" He said while grabbing our collars, "What're you doing out here in the desert?"

He dragged us out of our hiding spot and towards their car.

"Told you there where people here," he said.

The redhead stepped forward. I noticed that he had a certain look in his eyes.

Like an 'I have no choice' look...

He came over to us and you know that thing where you grab someone's pressure point on their neck and make them pass out?

He did that.

The last thing I heard was, "Get their stuff and put it in the trunk..."
