Chapter 14: Circles

Alright...with everything back to normal, the story can continue..

------------

(Time Skip)

I felt a kick on my foot, it was irritating...just five more minutes please. I turned to my side and felt my arm touch something really cold. I instantly woke up, I was on the grass but my arm was touching the cold cement. MacCready stood by my feet, he was the one kicking me.

(MacCready)-" Rise and Shine....get up." He kicks my foot again. I lean up and stretch my arms. I yawn so widely, I message my shoulder, it had a sharp pain that kept cramping up...I was leaning on it for a while. Fawkes was outside the gates waiting for me to get up. I gathered my things as fast as I can.

(Y/n)- " Can we get something to eat or drink...I'm starv---" MacCready throws a can of dandy apples and a nuke cola. I luckily caught both. That's...nice of him to get me food....that's weird though.

(Y/n)- " Thanks.."

(MacCready)- " I don't want you slowing me down. Let's go." Me? slowing him down? Who asked him to take me to Sanctuary? I grab my things and quickly catch up to fawkes and Maccready who were already getting a head start. I opened the cap and started chugging down nuke cola...washing away my nasty morning breath...I could go for some gum right about now. I caught up with the two of them--with MacCready taking the lead. Once the bottle was empty, I tossed it down the street to my left. The sound of the glass shattering felt satisfying. I tugged on my backpack and made sure it was secured on my shoulders. Looking down, the flag that was tide around my waist was a bit loose, I tighten the knot to make sure it was sticking close to me. Thanks, Hancock...you devilish ghoul.

(MacCready)- " Isn't that Mayor Hancocks?" MacCready said without even looking back at me.

(Y/n)- " Yeah, he gave it to me to remind me of goodneighbor."

(MacCready)- "That Damn ghoul..." he scoffs with a chuckle.

(Y/n)- " What? You don't like Hancock?"

(MacCready)- " No, Hancock is a good friend of mine. He's just gonna get himself killed one day"

(Y/n)- " By giving me his flag?"

(MacCready)- " He's getting soft, that's whats gonna kill him...if that doesn't-- than the chems will." He may have a point... but Hancock is one of the coolest, wisest  ghouls I know....besides Charon, he's on a whole different level than Hancock.Hmm, I would like to see those two have a brawl...I wonder who would win? Charon? no--Hancock? hmmm...I shake the thought out of my head. 

(Y/n)- " By how much chems he takes a week...he'll probably live for six more months" He's a ghoul though? Wouldn't he be okay taking chems? I mean...he's already...not a smoothskin anymore. I think I'm overthinking it. A gust of wind blows--making my hair flow in the wind..it was pretty chilly.. I hug myself for warmth.

(Y/n)- " Brrr--it's cold all of a sudden" I shivered.

(MacCready)- " Fall is here then."

(Y/n)- " So?"

(MacCready)- " Winter is coming..and it's not going to be pretty." It was scorching hot yesterday..what happened to that weather? Now it's starting to get chilly. As we head towards another street..as we walk on by there lays decomposing raider bodies...by the looks of it, they been picked at. The flesh was rotting and the smell was terrible. I covered my nose as we walked the rest of the way. We get closer to the water--it feels much colder. But the sound of the water flowing..it was soothing. Fawkes seems to enjoy the scenery. I walk closer to the bridge, arms resting on the railing.. Looking down at the water..it was peaceful...I can stay here and enjoy the sounds of water and the wind..if it was warm wind that is. MacCready and fawkes continue to keep walking..but I stayed a little far back to take this in.

(Y/n)- " Guys! Can we stop for a sec!" I shouted to get their attention.

(MacCready)- " No. Keep moving!" he shouted back at me.

(Y/n)- " Keep moving" I mocked in his voice. I continued to see those two keep moving leaving me behind. MacCready turns his head back and look ahead but does a double take.

(MacCready)- " Hey! Get out of there?!" he shouts. What? Get out? Why? I looked around to see nothing. I shrug my shoulders at him, him and fawkes run back heading towards me.

(Y/n)- " What?!"

(MacCready)- "Blood Bugs! Behind you!" Blood bugs? What the hell are those? I look behind me and there-- a giant mosquito looking insect. I felt chills all around my body.. These are way bigger than bloat flies. They were flying in my direction-- shit! I started to flee the bridge and head to MacCready and fawkes. As I ran, I felt a rock beneath my foot-- twisting my ankle making me fall chin down on the ground. Scrapping my hands as I go. Aghh-- shit..

(Fawkes)- "Now it's time for blood!" He equips his gatling laser weapon. Spraying dwn on the insects. I felt something on my back-- my back hunch at the feeling of skinny like fabric touching me. The bug is on me! The bug is on me!

(Y/n)- " Get it off me!" I screamed-- I fucking hate bugs! I felt a sharp prick stick to my right shouler-- I cried in pain...I felt my body drain..the insect is sucking my blood out-- fucking mosquito. Get the hell off me! I felt too weak to try to fight back..I see MacCready take a few shots at the bug that has me pinned down. It drops on my back-- its dead..Fawkes kills the rest of them before they have a chance to stick him. MacCready finally reaches me, he lowers down to one knee--checking on my status. I tried to get up but I was really, really...weak.

(MacCready)- " Don't move."

(Y/n)- "I'm fine, it's dead right?" His face expression doesn't read anything. I can't tell if it's good or not.

(MacCready)- " Yeah..but its still latched onto you" the image of the bug's needle like mouth still stuck inside me is sending goosebumps all over my body again.

(Y/n)- " Get. It. out--"

(MacCready)- " Alright-- stop being a baby, hold still.." He picks up the bug and lifts its needle out of my shoulder. I groan at it being pulled out of my shoulder-- the squishing sound-- and the thud of the bug dropping to the ground once MacCready pulled it out. I pulled myself up-- my legs wobbly...I push my hair to my backside..

(MacCready)- "Afraid of bugs?" I looked down at the dead blood bug...its sac was filled with-- my blood! The sight was unreal-- My body trembles at the sight of it-- I don't want to be outside anymore...

(Y/n)- "Tch..no--" I lied. I was terrified.

(MacCready)- " He--hey! You alright-- you look like your about to pass out on me." I'm about to pass out? I feel fine..

(Y/n)- "I'm not gonna pass out-- I'm fine, I think its just the adrenaline rush" my eyes become blurry once I started to step pass him. My eyes fully close and everything went lights out.
