shotgun.

(Chapter 19. New Character)

Tess stumbles back at the gurgling noise as blood spatters all over her arm.  “EWWWWW!!!!!” It’s nothing tess.  “Not that, The green pus and stuff coming out of its heart!” you noticed the green pus in all of her open wounds on her arm Tess turn around for a second.  “okay?? I dont see anything though.”  Tess, im sorry to do this but. ~you pull the trigger of the revolver~  as the last bullet pierces her skull You imagine it going out of the frontal lobe of the brain and out of her jaw, An instant death.

 

Well, Looks like i’m on my own again.  No one else to feed, all self independant, easy to hunt, easy to kill, easy to live.  she was never worth my time anyways,all she did was cause me pain.  God, what a mess.  Two dead people and an infected deer, the one hell of a mess i’m not going to clean up.  Whoever finds them can deal with it.

 

Maybe you’ll find someone else important,  Its not like she actually was or anything on those terms.  Someone who will understand.  Haha yeah right.  in this hell hole of a place, man, I don’t think so.  Ha, find people here? haha, “Your funny as fuck”You tell yourself, Finding someone out here?! My luck!  Maybe i am going to go for canada.  Definitely going for canada.

 

(One and a Half years later.)

I see the canadian flag.  All ripped up trying to blow with the non existent breeze.  Ever since I started traveling they decided to kill off most humans, only those of the most diverse have strung out long enough to survive.  The government put out a deep freezing agent.  Sending the whole earth into an ice age.  As you are watching the flag you see soldiers moving about, lining up people and killing them one by one.  Hanging the victims beloved’s as they are forced to watch, if they don’t theY perish just like the rest.  “I’m stopping this.”  

 

~You take your rifle out of its case and set up the bipod and statistics for wind, temperature, altitude, and distance.  You turn the top dial of your barret 50. caliber rifle scope raising the cross hairs for a three thousand yard shot.  You turn the side dial to compensate for wind.  You pull the trigger, a crisp clean feeling, you watch the bullet travel through the air hitting the neck of one soldier straight through to the second and into the third.~  

 

The last time I had target practice was on a deer with a revolver.  How the hell I did that I don’t even know.  I just know I couldn't do it again even if I tried.  “Oh god, its a long walk. Haven’t I fucking walked long enough?!?!” ~mumbling~ “Jesus Christ and het almighty savior or whatever, make it stop being cold.” (10 minutes pass) “Or not ya prick.”  

 

~The sign reads Verona,Canada.~ Well, at least im in Verona.  I've been there before,  It’s a small town, little  supplies, not enough guns etc.  To many people.  ~you walk up to the victims and their beloved’s helping them up and taking the nooses off their necks~ You say in a crisp warm voice to the one that is left, “you’ll be okay.  i’m here now.” ~she nods her head in what seems to be fear. and she stands up wrapping her arms around your cold winter suit.  Shes almost naked, She has wraps around her upper chest and lower body.  At least she has some privacy.~ You look cold. Here have my winter suit. ~you take off the suit and put it on her,  she nods in disapproval trying to thank you, she can't talk because of the cold,  her wind pipe is almost frozen.~

 

The wind is biting at your bare face and skin, you watch ice crystals form on your skin, She is looking at you concerningly, you remember the warm honey ginseng tea in your thermos.  Hey, stop for a minute. ~you dig into the pack and pour her a cup, she drinks it slowly, she then speaks with a sweet tone voice, “Hey i'm Kas.”  You nod accordingly and speak,  “good morning i’m Rayne.”  She thanks you for saving her life and keeping her warm,  You nod in taking the pleasure of keeping her alive.

 

So, Are there anymore soldiers?  At least near.?  “No. not anywhere close at least.”  Okay, i've been hiking for a year and a half to reach Canada.  Alot of miles.  “Holy shit.  You’re a busy guy aren't ya?”  I've been through worse….A lot worse.  I figured this place is more remote and all that shit, It is, i just didn't expect to see anyone.  Let alone kill 3 people.  Shit’s tough.  You just gotta live.

 

“So, did you come here with anyone?  I was supposed to but she got infected.   I ended her myself,  Didn't want her to suffer in the least of terms.  I didn’t care much in the end anyways… “That must suck, it must've hurt you.”  When it comes to an end you have to do what is needed to survive.  It’s a hard decision, but it is something that needs to be done.  ~She nods in agreement~

“Are you cold??” No not really. Lets set up camp here.  We can move in the morning.  “okay, can you promise me i'll be safe?”  In this world i can’t promise anything.  But i’ll try my hardest.  “Thank you. so so so much.” ~the tent set up in an hour and you start a fire for her~ “thank you Rayne…….(puppy dog eyes)......can i have a hug???”  Yeah you can. ~hugs her~ Im going to go to bed now. hop on in the tent you’ll be safe. “okay…..” ~you go in the tent with Kas following along~ Good night Kas. “good night Rayne…” ~as you fall asleep she kisses your lips gently, you don’t open your eyes, move or anything, you just lay there wanting it again.~
