Tale of the Banished (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2: Our way to the innerside.

Adelaine Vejinovic:

The two guys who would drop us off inside the walls were waiting for us outside on a big open field. To be honest, we the Banished live in the middle of nowhere. On one side of the few houses there's an area that will never see green again after the war and on the other side we have a big forest you will get lost in once you step inside it. On the right, the dead field, was a truck waiting for us. It's a big black truck with only a cabin and the back had absolutely no roof. Sadly we wouldn't have that much space because they loaded a bunch of crates which we had to hide behind once we got closer to the wall, but until that moment came we would just sit on top of them enjoying the feeling of the wind going through our hair. After the war we never really experienced wind, only a lot of rain.

"This is the part I love about this job" I said while looking at my twin.

"You mean the guys who transport us to the wall?" Fawn asked with a smile on her face.

I laughed at her and gave her a friendly push. "I mean the ride of course. But they aren't that bad" I say as serious as I can.

While we are laughing one of the guys walks towards us. He has gorgeous blue eyes and dark blonde hair, he was wearing red trousers with a yellow shirt because they had to infiltrate as Amity guys. "Need a hand ladies" he asks. He probably never heard about us, because if he did he wouldn't ask us such a thing.

"As if we would need that" Fawn said, probably reading my mind again, and climbed over the ledge leaving the guy speechless.

I just grin at him before I stand on the wheels of the truck, with trouble, and with one jump I land perfectly on a crate.

"Show off" Fawn said.

I flip my hair and laugh at her. We both take a seat against a crate and before we knew it we heard two car doors slam shut, which mend our departure. Leaving our comfy couch we had been laying and sleeping on for the past month. Sometimes we didn't have any jobs for months in a row, but our last job was taking down some serial killer in what used to be California.

"So much for conversation" I said sarcastically.

"They just do their jobs, like we do ours. Plus they aren't our types".

"Yeah right and I am the queen around here" I say and make a snorting sound.

Fawn gives me a friendly push which makes me fall onto my side. But I don't give her the satisfaction of sitting up right, so I turn around so that I lay on my back.

"You are not the queen of the banished but you are the drama queen around here." Fawn said rolling her eyes.

We laugh softly while we feel that the guys started the engine. Before we know it we leave. I already miss that couch.

While I was close to falling asleep my twin was full of energy. This is also because I am the lazy one. Anyway she kept poking me until my eyes were wide open. I softly cursed while I sat up. Sometimes I wish my sister was just lazy as I am.

"Come on sis, don't fall asleep because then I will be bored out of my mind" Fawn says.

She stands up and takes a seat on a crate, yes it's true she is kind of badass. I look up at her but the sun shines right into my eyes, so I stand up. From a far I saw we were nearing the wall.

"Wait how did we get here so fast".

"You fell asleep and I was trying to wake you because we will be there soon".

My eyes fall on the crates and out of curiosity I open one. Only to see that they seriously transported crops of lettuce and tomatoes. I try to keep in a chuckle while Fawn looks over my shoulder.
