Giving Mercy • 10 K

My New Beginning

As I walk along side the unshaded road, I see a faint car shape in the distance, headed towards me. I just thought it was the dehydration getting to me or maybe the heat, but all I was concerned about was to not die and to get water.
I was only a fourteen year old girl who was trying to get to her family in Tennessee, not knowing if they were dead, wishing and hoping they weren't dead. I was about 5' 4" and skinny with hunger. I had really short shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes with a hint green in them. I wore over sized combat boots with shorts, and a camo shirt. My weapons consisted of I iron linked chain, a Jargdkommando  Tri- Dagger, a shotgun, a sniper, and a pistol.
The car seemed to be getting closer throughly the hazy glare of the heat coming off the road, but I was sure that it was an actual car. The hazy car I thought a saw was a brownish green color jeep, with what seemed to be a person standing, one driving, one in the shot gun seat, and two in the back. They came barreling towards me and I thought they didn't see me. The driver halted to a stop and I could see that it was a women.
" What's your name?!" The women asks while reaching for her gun.
" My name is... Uh... Well, they call me ' The Shy Bandit', ma'am." I say looking down at my combat boots that had been scuffed up from the Z's.
" Well isn't that a cute name for a girl like you. I'm Lieutenant Roberta Warren, that is Addie, That's Doc, that's Murphy, and that is our best shot 10 k . Where you headed?" Warren had asked me with her hand still on the gun.
" East ma'am, I have family there in Tennessee." I had said looking up at 10 k, a boy who was much older than me.
" Warren, we are headed in the complete and opposite direction of where she's going, and we can't just leave a 15 year old girl out here by herself!" Addie, a young women with short red hair had hollered at Warren, a short black women with long black hair.
Her guess on my age was very very close, just about 8 months and 1 day off, and in 8 months and 1 day I will be fifteen but for right now I'm fourteen and counting.
" Is that true? Your only fifteen?" 10 k, a boy with; black hair, weapons covering his body, camo clothes, and the same combat boots I had, asked me.
" Um... I'm fourteen, sir." I said with the littlest confidence in the world.
" Kid, you got to come with us, like, it's bad down there!" The man Doc told me.
" Um... I... I got to make sure my Aunts are ok." I persistently said for I cared deeply for them.
" Shit man, just leave her and let's go!" Murphy, a blue-ish green man, announced. 
10 k looked at me with these worried eyes and I realized how fucking dumb I was.
" You're right," I clammed, " they're probably dead." I sniffles out as I looked down at my feet.
" Awe, kid it's ok. We are here for you.  We can be your new family." Doc suggested to me motioning for me to get into the jeep.
" I can come with you?" I was surprised that they wanted me to come along.
" Well shit, honey, of course you can, we would love to have you." Doc said smiling and reaching for my hand.
I hopped up into the back of the jeep where 10 k was standing. We drove off and I sat down, waiting and wondering where we were going.
