I could feel my mouth drying by the second, my stomach rumbled to remind me of the fact I had been fruitlessly trying to push to the back of my mind for the past two days.
I was hungry, .. Starving actually.
From the loud rumbling sound coming from the other side of the room I could tell i wasn't the only one.
"Nina, we have to go tonight. I'm really starving and you don't look really good either... We haven't eaten for days. If we don't get something soon--"
She moved her skinny body to my side of the room and slumped into the creaky tattered couch I was sitting on.
"--Well have to break in tonight " a tiny smile pulled at the corners of her lips .," but we've got to be very quiet. None of that stuff you did last time, "
She nodded her head slowly and for some unknown reason -maybe I was psychic - I didn't believe her for a second.The last time we broke into the stash we almost got caught.. It was a hella close call and we had to abandon a lot of the food we st-- eherm-- borrowed.
I looked at Dills and the sight saddened my heart , her eyes were sunken with dark eye bags that were too big for her face...I swear she must have borrowed those from a Gucci store. They looked so unnatural
She looked like a walking skeleton ...just skin and bone.
She saw me looking and smiled at me sadly, her dark brown eyes burning holes into my dull blues. In her eyes I saw she wasn't just hungry, deep inside those dark chocolate swirls I saw something that burned hotter than the rage that burned in my own eyes... Bloodlust. And it made the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end.
Oh crap.
......
The orange sky faded into a dark blue which announced the one thing we had been waiting for since the cock crowed... Nighttime.
"Let's go", Dilly opened the door and ran ahead of me with a big bin bag on her shoulder ...like ninja Winnie the Pooh. Not wasting any time.
I quickly caught up to her in the forest and together we ran till we spotted the dark grey brick wall.
We hid behind trees in the outskirts of the forest as I took a peek at the guards posted at the front gate.... To my luck , their heads were bobbing up and down in a universal sign that screamed 'I'm asleep, you can sneak where ever you want!"
A grin spread across my face, igniting my aching facial muscles as I pointed them out to the grinning blonde midget I lived with.
She raised four fingers up, a signal that meant we were to pass the back .
after many close calls and aborted missions we developed our own little sign language of sorts.. , that way we wouldn't have to speak and give away our presence.
Our code made me feel like a freaking spy, I could almost hear the spy kids music in my head...mixed with pink panther and James Bond.
Dun dun..dun dun Dun Dun..dun dun..dun dun.Dundun Dun dun..tananaa..tananaaa, tananaaa tana!
Our dirty black clothes acted as a significant camo in the darkness and From the way we had hunched our backs no one would think we were human.
We looked like rabid animals...and I liked it.
....
The wall.
I raised my index finger and pointed up..didn't take a genius to understand what I meant by that. Let's climb
I grabbed the rope I had tied around my waist , a rope which had been used as a belt for my over sized black trousers....which were currently kissing the ground.
It's not like anyone can see me or anything.
I threw the rope and it looped itself around the neck of the creepy lion statue on the wall
one...two...
holding tight on the rope I pulled myself up , feeling like some spy slash mountain climber.
Tananaa tananaa tananaa tana.
By the time I got there Dills was already there , holding out her hand for me to climb up. I had no idea how she managed it but she always climbed up the wall on all fours, a part of me wondered if she was part wall gecko or something .
....
The place was cold , freezing actually . What exactly did I expect.. It's used to store food dummy!
Sniff , sniff. I spotted Dilly sniffing the air before following a trail to some ramen noodles.
Okay maybe I should add blood hound.
On inspecting her find I hugged her and whispered in her ear while trying to ignore the various bones that dug into my skin. Geez.
"Dilly , you're a genius"
I couldn't really see her face but I could feel her smirk in response.
Quickly but quietly we packed packet after packet of those delicious noodles into our bin bag.
I grabbed some frozen sausages , she grabbed cornered beef , I grabbed sardines ...and gagged.
A flashback of me carelessly opening an expired can almost had me regurgitating all the food I hadn't even eaten yet.
Dilly gave me a death glare and I dropped the sardines into the bag, it didn't matter if I didn't like it , we were fucking starving.
In the corner of my eye I saw Dilly make her way towards the chips. She stretched her hand over some jars and knocked down one of the jars in the process.
"Fuck" I dropped the food I was holding "Dill, leave it lets go , we have enough"
"Wait a sec geez" she kept moving towards the chips ..always the damn lays and their salty goodness.
"Dilly! Hurry the fuck up. We don't have anytime!"
She ignored me and stuffed the bin bag with almost all the chips on the shelve . I frowned at her , shaking my head disapprovingly and she opened a bag and motioned for me to pick some,
Bribery...corruption...bribery, .. Whatever. , "ugh Dills this is the last time." I picked a chip from the bag cautiously. "We pick only what we need"
What's in the damn chip any way. I bit into it and the sweet feeling enveloped my mouth.
Fucking happiness.
Dilly smirked at my smile and was about to make a snide remark when suddenly...
Lights, flashlights.. The guards must have overheard us because of the fucking jar of pickles..crap.
I grabbed Dills hand--which was covered in crumbs-- and ran out of the room.
.......
The wall looked higher than it looked before we got into the school. It was literally impossible to climb with the load for me since I climbed upwards and Dills was too tired from hauling the bag around the whole time.
Sigh. We took the risk and threw the bag over the wall and proceeded to climb.
One step at a time, one step at the time..one step at a-- shit.
I had almost reached the top when I heard an annoying electro static sound and my body shook violently.causing me to loose my grip on the rope
I painfully raised my hands in a sign, against the protest of my numbing muscles.
RUN.
I felt myself falling backwards , Loosing control of my body before hitting the ground with a loud thud.. Then everything went blank.
