Dust or Gold?

Black cat

The following month went by quickly, and before they knew it it was the beginning of October. It was starting to get a lot colder and they couldn't keep on just wearing the summer clothes they had been wearing before.

"Fuck it's cold!" Sofie shouted in agony, she was outside hunting with Siri and Ida.

"You should've work a warmer jacket then, knife thief." Ida said mockingly, she was wearing a hoodie under her leather jacket.

"Fuck off, four eyes!" Sofie yelled back.

"I can hear you, you know." Siri said without turning around to look at her.

"Do you expect one of us to take off their jacket and say 'Here, take my jacket, m'lady.' ?" Ida continued mocking her.

"Shut up or I'll shove this gun so far up your ass you won't be able to breath." Sofie said.

"Christ, just shut up both of you, you're scaring away the animals, or worse, attracting sempits." They finally got quiet and concentrated on the hunting. After a few minutes they saw something moving in front of them.

"Siri, shoot it." Sofie whispered, she nodded. Then there was a pang and a scream, then a thump. It was still screaming when they got to it.

"Ah I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please show mercy!" A man had fallen on the ground, he was shot in the leg.

"Damnit, it was just some guy. Are you alright?" Ida asked when they got to the man. He was shaking his head rapidly.

"Fuck, now what?" Sofie asked no one in particular.

"I guess we should fix him up? I bet that bullet is still in his leg...." Siri said quietly. The others nodded and sat down on the ground.

"We don't have the tools to take out a bullet here.... it's at home, and so are the bandages..." Sofie said when she saw the wound.

"Fuck it, then." Ida took off her jacket and tied it hardly around the leg.

"Ow ow ow!" The man yelped. "That hurts!"

"Can you stand?" Siri asked. The man tried to stand up, but immediately fell again.

"Not really.."

"Here I'll help."Ida put the man's arm around her neck and helped him up. She then noticed how tall the man was, even though they were about the same length.

"Wow, almost every bella I meet here are as tall as I am!" The man said almost as if he could read her thoughts. The man had piece of hair that was in Ida's face, it didn't move out of the way no matter how much Ida tried to blow it away. When they got to the house everyone was at the door.

"Welcome back! Who's that?" Julia was the first one to say something. Vivi was glaring at the man.

"We don't know, we shot him by accident and we need to help him. Vivi move out of the way" Sofie said and tried to make her move, but she didn't move an inch.

"Oh no..." The man said as he noticed who was at the door.

"Leave him be." Vivi said coldly, Matilda tugged at Vivi's sleeve.

"But he needs help..." She said quietly.

"Please! We need to help him!" Siri pleaded, this was the first time they had seen her pleading.

"Vivi don't be silly! He needs help!" Ida smiled, hoping that It'd help.

"Let him in!" Sofie tried to shove her away, it didn't work.

"Please Vivi, we can't leave him out to die here!" Julia pleaded. Vivi closed her eyes, then shouted.

"LEAVE THAT BLACK CAT OUT HERE! HE'LL ONLY BRING US BAD LUCK!"

"PLEASE ANDERSON! LET ME IN!" The man shouted back. Siri and Sofie started to push her out of the way, then Julia and Matilda helped them, they held Vivi back. She was struggling like crazy.

"NO! DON'T LET HIM INSIDE! PLEASE!" She cried out.

"Stop struggling Vivi!Just let him in!" Julia shouted, almost right into her ear.

"No! You don't understand! If we let him in everything will-" She saw that he was inside and froze, then tears welled up in her eyes and started sobbing.

"Pass some alcohol for the wound!" Siri yelled from inside.

"Right at it!"

.

Everything was lit up and blurry, I couldn't really see anything that clearly, but I could see myself, the man, Sofie and Vivi. Vivi glared at the man.

"Ciao Vivinetta! Nice to meet you here!" The man said cheerfully.

"If anything, I'm Anderson to you. And," She took out a gun and pointed it at him. "You are not coming inside of this house." She put a finger on the trigger.

"Huh? Already? You really don't have much patience with me anymore, huh? But are you really going to shoot me this early?" The man seemed to be mocking her.

"Shut your fucking mouth, Feliciano." Vivi spat at him. Sofie stared at her, completely shocked. I- or the person that was me, stood in between them.

"Look, your precious sorellina will always try to protect me. And If I have to call you by your last name then you'll have to do the same." The man was still mocking her, even though he knew what situation he was in.

"Fine, 'Vargas'" She spat again, mostly when she said his last name. It was a little scary.

"But alright, shoot me but know this-" She cut him off, or rather shot him off.

"With pleasure!" The pulled the trigger.

.

"He's bleeding really badly! Give me the that!" Siri grabbed it from Julia's hands and then put it inside the man's wound, she tried to get the bullet.

"Owwww!" The man cried. Then Siri finally took out the bullet.
