Bloodbath [Inanimate Insanity Fanfic]

Prologue

{boom!}

What the--?!

{crashing}

What's happening?!

{exploding}

!!!

OJ rushed upstairs, ushering us into an empty room. {heavy sigh} "You two stay here. I'll get some supplies."

What's going on?! I don't understand any of this. Taco frowned, pacing back and forth.

"This is so stupid. I can't believe OJ locked us in here."

I wouldn't call this stupid.

She glanced outside the window. "..What's even going on out there?!" 

I'm not sure..

{debris falls} {crash!} 

What was that?!

{fling} What was-- Taco suddenly pulled my arm and a giant brick shattered the window. 

..Oh. 

She huffed in frustration. "Seriously, Balloon?! Be careful! You could have popped!"

......

Why did Taco's British accent sound so..angry? Nevermind, I still don't like her anyway.

"Look, I'm sorry okay?" {heavy sigh} "Whatever. It's not your fault. It could have been me, or the both of us."

Yeah..

{boom!} {boom!} {boom!}

That's too loud!

Taco sucked in a breath.

"Are those gunshots?!" I asked. 

She stared at me. I flushed, completely embarrassed.

That was a dumb question.

Taco glanced at the door. "Anyways, the difference between--"

{slam!}

OJ appeared in the doorway, holding two backpacks.

{panting}

"These are for you guys." He handed us the backpacks.

Wait..why are there only two backpacks?

{rummage}

{grunt} "Don't eat your snacks right away, Taco. You'll need them for later."

{sigh}

"..OJ?"

"Yes, Balloon?"

"..Why did you only get two backpacks?" He sighed. "I'm not going with you guys, remember?" What?!

"But where will you go?"

{heavy sigh}

"..I'm going to battle." What?! Why?

"But why? You can't stay with--"

{boom!} {erupting}

We ran out of the room and downstairs again.

{door opens}

"You two will be safe in here."

It's pitch black.

{gulp}

This doesn't seem scary at all..

Close to the walls were two cots, a fridge and an air conditioner. Taco parked herself near the huge AC.

OJ gently nudged me to lie down. "Go on, Balloon."

I can't. I don't want you to go..

{deep sigh}

"Will you be okay by yourself?"

He nodded. "Don't worry, Balloon. It's just an apocalypse."

No, it's more than that.

I hugged him tightly. "Are you going to be okay out there?"

OJ half-smiled. "I'll be careful. I promise. Now go get some rest."

{snoring} Taco's already asleep..

He hugged me one last time. "Don't cry, I'll be home again soon."

{solemn sigh}

I hope so..

I sat on the floor right next to Taco.

{door closes}

{beep}

Instead of going to sleep, I pulled my legs to my face and sobbed quietly.
