As Colby sped out of the parking lot, Amber was struggling to catch her breath.
"Shit Amber are you OK?" Colby asked with concern in every word he said.
Amber was still heavily breathing and nodding slightly in response
"We should crash somewhere for the night to get clean and take advantage of the last of electricity before it runs out completely" Amber suggested
Colby nodded in agreement pointing to a medium sized house, blue paint chipping away at the walls. The front doors'white paint had been stained a mucky brown colour."It's in need of some TLC," Colby remarked, looking sadly at the dishevelled state of the property.
"Well hello home sweet home" Colby cooed
She rolled her eyes at Colby's cheesiness
Colby smiled and opened the door
The inside wasn't any better, white , almost brown , paint was chipping from the walls , lights were flickering creating a horror movie synamattic aura . Blood splatters stained the oak wood floors and kitchen tiles dripping into the grooves almos knocking amber sick to her stomach. As soon as Colby reached the socket, he plugged in the phone, wasting no time or energy.
It doesn't turn on,
"Nooooooo , no , nooooooooo u have to be shitting me"
Amber looks over confused
"It ain't charging"
"What do you mean it ain't charging?"
"I mean it ain't charging"
"Well, I gathered that bit but the lights are still on"
"The old residents must have been using a generator or a summit for them"
"They better still have water , cold or warm i need a shower"
"I can go" Colby sniffs under his jacket "maybe another week or so"Amber gags, throwing up in her mouth as Colby pisses himself laughing"U absalout scruff"
Her clothing was stripped off and she stepped into the tub naked. She scrubbed her body until she reached her hands, scrubbing the dirt and blood off of them. A bright red cut made its appearance on the back of her hand , a scratch to be more specific . Amber's breath hitched as she just kept looking at the scab which was just starting to appear on the scratch.
"Hey amber u haven't done a runner on me have you" Colbys voice could be heard
"Oh no, I'll be out shortly."
Amber gets out, dries off quickly and throwson her clothes making sure her jacket covers the scratch
"See all done" Amber winks as Colby disappears into the bathroom starting his own shower..
