Female Warrior [COMPLETED]

Chapter 19

Ava: Both Luna and I are still holding hands while running, trying to get as much distance as possible. We eventually slow down and stop to catch our breath at a Subway. We both walk through the no door entrance and sit at one of the booths. "That...that was so badass! I can't believe we just did that... Still, I can't believe that I, Ava Singh took down Atlas. The so-called, best of the best." I chuckle

Luna: I smirk. "All right, all right don't get too confident now. He could still escape and hunt us down again. Plus he knows that I'm with you so he'll probably be more careful."

Ava: "Well...thanks for jinxing us. That really depressed the mood," I tease.

Luna: "Sorry...so how come you wanted to hang him and not kill him?"

Ava: "I don't know...I guess because I've known him my whole life...literally. And I just couldn't do it. Hopefully, that'll leave my mind sometime and I'll just do it without hesitation."

*They sit in silence for a couple minutes*

Luna: I look over at Ava and see that something is on her mind. "What are you thinking about?"

Ava: "My friend, Lucas. Atlas said they were torturing him..." I sigh "It's my fault they're doing that to him...I just hope he's staying strong and that they haven't killed him. He's smart though...if he somehow found a way to escape, he's probably done it by now. He's probably out here." I smile a little thinking that I could see him again.

Luna: I smile at you and reach over and hold your hand. "Don't worry if he's as smart as you say he is, he's probably out and on his way to you."

Ava: I look down and see Luna's holding my hand, which makes me blush a little. But I totally ruin the moment by coughing heavily, I quickly turn my head and cough into my elbow aggressively. I quickly take off my bag, get my water and drink up."

Luna: "You sure you're okay? You've been coughing a lot and it seems to be getting worse..."

Ava: I stop drinking and wipe my mouth. "No, no I'm fine. Its just from all the running and fighting, I'm not used to it at all. It's just a little hard to breathe...but I still feel fine. So don't worry." I grin and stand back up. "All right, we should get going. Delaware is out next stop. Have any transportation ideas?"

Luna: "Yes, not too far from here there's a train that never stops...for some reason. It just keeps running, I know it sounds weird. But it's the apocalypse so who cares, right?"

Ava: I laugh and nod my head. "Right."

Luna: "So we just hop on and ride it out. Maybe even get some rest." I say getting up.

Ava: "Sounds good to me, lead the way." I say motioning her to the front so that I can follow.

*About 30 minutes later they approach the train tracks but there is no train to be seen.*

Luna: I stop walking and look left and right down the track. "It's going to come from the right. Don't know how fast it's going to be going. So just get ready."

Ava: I nod and get into a good running stance and I can hear the train coming from a distance.

Luna: "Wait...Wait...now!" Once I see the train in my field of vision we both start to run. Quickly, the train catches up to us and starts to pass us. I start to sprint and run closer to the train and once I see an open cart, I jump and climb on. I quickly turn around and hold out my hand for Ava. "Jump! I'll catch you!"

Ava: I'm running and see Luna is already getting on. I get a little closer to the train and try to run a little faster. As I get closer I start to get scared that I'll fall and end up under the train. But I remind myself of my goal and what I've already been through and that now is not the time to be scared. I take the chance and jump, Luna grabs both of my hands and quickly pulls me in the cart. She falls back and I lay on top of her, looking down at her. I smirk looking into her eyes. "We did it."

Luna: "Yep.." I smirk back at her.

Ava: I return back to reality and realize that I'm laying on top of her which makes me blush and quickly get off of her. "Sorry, sorry about that."

Luna: I laugh it off. "Nah, Nah it's fine." I flip over. "We should get some rest."

Ava: I agree and try to find a cozy spot to sleep in. Once I find it I doze off quickly, being tired from all I did today. After about a few hours in the night, I wake up and see Luna sitting up against the wall, knocked out. I grin a little and walk over quietly, I sit by her side and let her rest her head on my shoulder. While we both sleep together.

*The Next Day.*

Luna: "Ava! Ava!" I say standing by the door.

Ava: "Huh...wha-...what's going on?" I say waking up while rubbing my eyes.

Luna: "Time to go, we gotta jump."

Ava: I groan and get up slowly "Again...?"

Luna: "Yes now come on." I walk over and grab your hand again and bring you over to the door. "Ready...."

Ava: I yawn. "Yea-..."

Luna: "Jump!" I jump off bringing Ava along me, we both land, rolling on the grass until we come to stop. "Whew...need to work on my landing a little." I look up and see we landed perfectly in front of the Welcome to Delaware Sign. I quickly pull out the Polaroid. "Come on, picture time!"

Ava: I'm face first on the ground not moving. "How do you have this much energy? But that woke me up though." I say slowly getting up and walking over, standing by Luna's side, in front of the camera.

Luna: "Say, Sector 302!"

Both: "Sector 302!"

Ava: We both smile and Luna takes the picture, hoping that I look decent. She waves it in the air and puts the picture in her bag without even looking at it because she knows that it's perfect.

Luna: "Ready?"

Ava: I stretch and yawn one last time. "Yep, let's do this."
