KEEP RUNNING *A Fun Goul Fanfiction*

Living on the Railways

"Angel!" Party Poison shakes me awake. I sit up and rub my eyes.

"What..?" I groan.

"Get your stuff. We gotta go. They found us."

"How the hell did they find us?" I ask, standing up instantly without thinking. Panic and adrenaline rushed through my veins as I grabbed the little amount of belongings I had.

"I don't know, but we need to move quickly. We have a car parked in the back. Let's go!" Party leads me to the car and tells me to wait there.

"Wait!" I call out, starting to run after him.

"Stay there!" He runs back inside. I stop dead in my tracks. I knew that if i disobeyed things would only get worse from experience. I sigh and bury my head in my hands. How did they find us?  I rub the back of my neck and breathe in the dry desert air. The full moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly on the quiet world around me.

Gunshots started to sound from inside, and my heart started to beat faster and faster. I held my breath as I waited for someone to come out. It took about two seconds for me to get impatient. I started to head towards the back door.

Kobra Kid ran out the back door, and I sighed in relief. He looked beyond my shoulder and drew his gun. I tensed and closed my eyes. I heard a shot and looked back. A Drac was lying in the ground bleeding out in the distance.

"Thanks," I say. "Where's Ghoul and Jet?"

"I don't know. They-" Kobra stopped talking when the gunfire stopped. "We need to go."

He grabs my wrist but I yank it back, "We can't just leave them!"

"Just trust me!" Kobra orders and pulls me away from the shack we were staying in.

"Where are we going?" I ask. He didn't say a word. I sigh and roll my eyes. Kobra lets my arm go as we approach a car, but he keeps walking. I stop for a moment.

"Come on! We don't have much time!" He yells. We both run into the desert as millions of thoughts swirled through my mind. How did they find us? How long have they known that we were there? Where is Kobra Kid taking me? How does he know where to go? He says to trust him, but can I?

I look back and realize that we were far from where we started than I'd thought. How long were we running? My legs burned and breathing became harder with each step. The moon lit our way through the desert.

"How much.. Longer... Do we have to.. Do we have to run?" I pant.

Kobra looks back, " This.. should be fine."

"Now what?" I ask as I catch my breath.

"We wait." Kobra says as he starts to search for wood. He can't be serious. What happened back there?

"For how long?" I ask as I help look too.

"However long it takes."
