Dust or Gold?

Confusion

Ida picked up the leather jacket from her bed.

"Sooo.... How did you get these? I mean, everyone got a jacket...." Ida asked Vivi who was standing at the doorstep. Vivi shrugged.

"The people who lived here before, when I first got here, were a big family. They were American and they really believed that there was going to be a zombie apocalypse, people thought they were crazy but they still got themselves ready. Supplies and guns and ammo, they were really prepared for it. It's funny how they died though.... they really thought that they were prepared for everything..." Vivi grinned and thought about it.

".....And when did you get here?" Ida asked suspiciously.

"I got here a few months ago."

"But didn't you say that you got here one and a half week ago?" Ida was getting a little angry when she realised that Vivi had been lying.

(A/N And at that moment, Vivi knew. She fucked up xDD)

Vivi froze, then tried to laugh it off.

"What are you talking about? I never said that." She forced out a laugh. Now Ida was really getting mad, she remembered perfectly well what Vivi had said.

"I remember exactly what you said! You're just lying!" Ida yelled, Vivi tried to change the subject.

"Well it's time to go and work on that fence, eh? We'll need strong people there, and you're probably the strongest so you gotta be there!" Vivi said and dragged Ida out of the room, Ida decided that it wasn't worth to continue on that subject and just let it go. Vivi clearly didn't want to talk about it, anyway.

When they got to the fence everyone was already there and had started to work on it.

"Well you've come a bit already, it probably won't take too long to finish it." Sofie said when they got there, she glared at Ida. Vivi noticed and smiled widely.

"Why don't you two go and get the material over here? It's heavy, you'll need at least two people to carry it." She said cheerfully, but Sofie and Ida looked at her with an angry expression.

"There's no way in hell I'll work with this bitch, she stole one of my knives!" Ida yelled.

"You cut my arm! It could've been off right now if I didn't run away!" Sofie yelled back.

"Well it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stolen one of my knives!"

"Fuck you!"

"Go to hell!" Then they turned away from each other, Vivi let out a sigh.

"They don't really get along, huh?" Julia said while she handed Vivi some planks for the fence.

"Well, they don't exactly dance in September...." Vivi muttered, she was pretty frustrated with those two.

After a few hours of working on that fence it was time for some kind of lunch.

"Idaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Vivi yelled.

"What do you want?" Ida said annoyed, she was tired.

"Wow chill, man. Here," Vivi passed a key to Ida. "Go to the kitchen, there's a locked door there and get out some beans, then start a fire. Just don't set the house on fire." Ida wasn't sure if it was a challenge or a request, so she went with request. When she opened the door, there was at least two years worth of supplies for a family of 5 in there, with everything from energy bars and water to canned soup and everything else you can possibly can.

"Wow..." She looked at all this food, she had never seen so much food in one place before. She was thinking about keeping the key, but it wouldn't do her any good if anyone found out. So she grabbed a few energy bars and put them in her jacket pocket, then went to the fireplace and started a fire. After a few minutes Vivi walked in and put the beans into the water.

"What's that?" Ida asked over Vivi's shoulder, Vivi was putting in a spoon of light purple powder into the beans.

"Arsenic, what else?" She answered sarcastically. Ida laughed.

"No, but it's protein and calorie powder, to keep you guys strong and y'know, healthy." Vivi said. Ida was about to put in another spoon of it when she got to know.

"Well, wouldn't another spoon keep us healthi-" Ida was cut off by Vivi panicking.

"NO!" She pushed the spoon away, the powder spread all around the floor.

"Ah- uh... Sorry, I shouldn't have reacted that hard, sorry..." Vivi apologised, it left Ida very confused.
