Post Apocalyptic Kaos

Or so it continues

It took me at least 7 minutes to reach the cliffs we were just at. 3 more bags sat on the top waiting for me. I huffed as i stood on top of the cliff looking around. I heard rocks slide off one of the steep ends of the cliff and i flinched as i saw a 15 yr old girl coming towards me. I tensed up because i didn't know if it was a shape shifter or an actual girl. She walked up to me and just automatically punched me square in the damn jaw. I growled as i looked back at her blood seeping from the cut i just received.

She laughed and said, "Well don't you look all big and bad." She eyed me up and down. I sort of just snarled at her and i begin walking back down towards the other end. "Hey hey where are you going?" She asked as she threw a rock at my back. I got even more infuriated as i turned around and asked through gritted teeth. "What the fuck is it that you want?" At this point i had already figured out that it was a shape shifter considering an actual 15 yr old girl wouldn't just randomly go up to a person and punch them square in the motherfucking jaw. 

It smiled. "I want you to show me how far you can throw a measly little rock." I shook my head and continued with all my composure forward. This time it came at me. I sensed it before any damage was done as I turned around, grabbed it by the throat, and began to squeeze. Strange, loud hisses that could pass for screeches came from this creature and the disguise it took wore off. Shape shifters original forms fall more along the lines of Serpents. Really big talking snakes. I continued to squeeze as hard as i could.

The color from this creature faded as i saw past it's head at the moon. I looked back at the creature and it had been smiling as it turned to dust in my hand, slithering away. That's when I heard a bunch of small crackles and cackles. I groaned, "Son of a bitch!" I said as i took off towards the house. Out of the ground emerged several flamedrils. I continued to run trying to avoid them. I had my share of burn scars and i didn't care for anymore. They would disappear and reappear in front of me and i had to dodge them. I saw the door to the house open as i slid inside. 

I hit my head so I'd been disoriented from the landing. I laid half unconscious on the floor and all i could smell were just big clouds of smoke. I started to cough and i could barely see that the flamedrils had set the whole place on fire. I tried to crawl, but i couldn't move. The next thing I knew I was being carried off into a separate area. I just remember seeing figures moving back and forth before I completely knocked out.

I heard a knock on the door waking me from my sleep. I opened my eyes and was a little confused as to where we were. I looked around and saw my brother on the couch next to me. I sort of smacked him while i stretched out and yawned. He jolted awake thinking we were under attack and i fell forward laughing. "Haha you're such a fucking idiot," i said as i almost fell over. He got mad and pushed me back with more force than my slap held. "Shut the fuck up. What the hell did i do for you to hit me?" He asked as he looked around. I kicked his leg and stood as i motioned for the door. "No idea, but someone is knocking," I say as i make my way towards the door. I turned the doorknob and opened it. To my surprise it had been my parents with my other siblings and the rest of the family, including the 4 friends that had been with us. 

Everyone began flooding in and greeted one another. I looked around for my best friend and smiled when I saw that she was standing behind everyone else. I walked up to her and hugged her shortness. "Well if it isn't Ms. Ashley in the flesh," She said as she wrapped her arms around my neck to hug me. I chuckled and hugged her back. "Yes, yes tis I the Rainbow Queen and I have decided to bless you with my presence today." I said, as she rolled her eyes.  She went upstairs to the room her and I were going to share while we were here. 

My father came up to me with a questioning look on his face. "Where's your brother?" He asked waiting for my reply. I sort of cocked my head and said, "He went up to shower." My dad just kind of nodded. I looked around and was pretty happy that i had all these people left in my life. You never know how much something will mean to you until it becomes all you have.

I grabbed my bag and went upstairs to my room. I walked into the room and saw the two beds that were in it. Liz had already chosen the bed on the right. I kinda smirked and dropped my bag on my bed. "So what were you guys up to the whole time that we were apart?" I asked as i started to rummage through my clothes. She set her bag on the floor and sat on her bed as she replied, "Nothing. Your sister and I went out almost everyday scavenging for food in whatever places looked safe." I sort of hummed as i sat across from her on my bed. 

She had a black case under her bed that i couldn't really see. "Hey tiny what's that?" I said pointing to the case under her bed. She looked at me like what are you talking about and then it hit her. "Ohh yeah i forgot all about that," She said as she reached under her bed and pulled it out. I saw the big guitar case and she smiled. "The other day that Ariel and I went out scavenging i found this leaning against a pillar in front of a house so i grabbed it," She said as she opened the case and smiled taking out the guitar. I looked at her smiling back, "Play something for me." I stated as i leaned back on my bed. 

She sat down and took the pick that was around her neck as she began to play. Little hymns here and there. Sometimes a full song. I smiled as i sang along. We sat in our room for a couple hours just singing and talking. We were throwing ideas back and forth for our own song. We'd been working on some for quite a while. She put the guitar away and yawned as she pulled her blanket over her. "Goodnight Ash," She said as she rubbed her eyes. I smiled softly, "Goodnight Liz laa chu." I stood as i grabbed clothes to go shower and i heard the faintest whisper, "Laa chu too."  I smiled as i walked out.
