Night, so peaceful. At least people think so...
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH TAKE THAT FUCKER!" chaotic laugh was echoing through back alley.
"Well, at least now I don't have cops following me around. Now, let's find something for Ray."
As Zack was longing through the streets, of course hiding from population, he saw a great chance. There was girl, about Rachel's height and weight throwing clothes in a clothes bin.
"Bingo."
He waited for the girl to go away. He decided that it was best not to kill her since it will probably catch too much attention. He took the first bag which was obviously that girl's bag, and one more which had some man clothes. After that he started to return to their hiding place.
Once he returned, Ray was still awake, just looking at the ceiling.
"Ugh, that dead look in yer eyes again."
"Zack! You're back!"
"Of course I'm back. You forgot who I am? Anyways, check what's in this bag, you might find something for yourself."
He threw one bag at her, and took other one to see if there is anything for him. Both were bloody and dirty, so until they find some place where they can clean up, clean clothes will go. They got lucky. In her bag, Rachel found red and white jacket, white shirt, black shorts and some boots, while Zack in his bag found green jacket with white fur, black jeans and brown shirt. His old boots will go.
"Rest well, we are continuing in morning, before sunrise if possible."
"Okay..."
Uncomfortable silence. God, he missed her voice, her presence. He missed those dead eyes the most out of all. Now she lays down and he looks at her. She did grew up, didn't she? She is a little bit taller, and looks more.... more.... more like a girl and not like a kid. In his head one question was spinning:
Why?
Why did she come with him?
"Ray... are you awake?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"What do you mean Zack?"
"Why did you come with me?..."
He finally asked. He buried his face in his hands and after some times felt her small hands at his shoulder.
"I wanted to."
"Why?"
"Our oath, first of all."
"By that 'first of all, I believe there's more huh?"
"I look at you as my family."
Zack sarcastically laughed and looked at her. She was still dead serious.
"Stop saying fucking creepy shit like that. I'm not capable of being anyone's family. Even the woman who gave fucking birth to me didn't want me."
"But I do."
But I do....
"No matter how much you hate yourself, I will still be there. You are capable of being someone's family. You listened to me more than my parents did, accepted me more than my parents did. No matter how much you deny it... you are my family, Zack, and I'm glad you will be the one to kill me."
Damn, she really was mature for her age, wasn't she. He knew that though, but he didn't expect this. He felt... loved.
He was family to someone...
"Ya know... you are some weird-ass kid." he said as he ruffled her hair.
"I'm not a kid, I am fourteen."
"Whatever ya say, little brat. Now go to sleep, I'm not planning on carrying your sleepy ass tomorrow."
"Okay." she smiled.
OH GOD SHE SMILED. Still wasn't the perfect smile though, but she.fucking.smiled.
As she laid down, and he adjusted himself on the bed, after a minute he said:
"Keep working on that smile, you are a lot more beautiful when you smile."
After a little while, he heard one small "Okay". He finally decided to give off to his sleep, after all, they need to start moving when the sun rises. And he fell in the abyss, slowly and softly.
"You are my family, Zack."
