little wonders

part 2: so many questions

Today was a randomly normal day I guess. Not much happened except for the fact that Luka almost got us fucking killed. Let me start from the beginning.

"Luka, hurry up! We have to go." He just stared at me. I grab his wrist and pull him until he decides to finally start running. I wonder why until I look behind me to see that we're being chased by raiders. By the time I turned around, luka had gone off into hiding and I didn't know where he had gone.

He's alone and I can't protect him because I have no fucking idea where he is. Sooner or later I just start running and hiding, looking for Luka because that's all I have my mind on.

"Find them!" Im guessing that was the leader but that doesn't matter. I have to get to Luka and get out of here. We came here for food and now we're being chased out by some fucking psycho maniacs. "Kari." I look to the side to see Luka hiding near a toy shop. Then I see one of the raiders. "LUKA! LOOK OUT!"

Luka turned around quickly and knocked the raider off of his feet and took his gun. All I could think to do is to get up, grab Luka's hand, and run. My heart is racing like a rabbit running from wolves. Then we hear running footsteps behind us that sound like rocks being thrown to the ground quickly. With every step they take they get closer to us but we begin to push ourselves to run faster.

Soon enough, we lose them and just keep sprinting till we get to the house. As soon as we got to the house I stop moving and I just try to catch my breath until I hear a group of men and women start screaming and a couple second after, gunshots that make my ears ring.

I push Luka into the house and lock the door. "What were you fucking thinking?! You can't just wander off like that! You scared me to death! I THOUGHT THEY HAD GOT YOU!" I start yelling at Luka because he ran off without me.

"I'm sorry." Luka looks at me with puppy dog eyes which make me less mad. I grab him and hug him and tell him it's gonna be alright. "You have to stay with me otherwise you won't last very long out here. It's dangerous and you could get killed."

After that I cook a little bit of the food we got from the market place, where the raiders tried to get us, but it wasn't much. "We're gonna have to go back tomorrow." Luka looks up at me with a frightened face. "Fine I'll go alone but you need to keep the door locked. Don't open the door or go outside at all. You understand me?" I snap at him waiting for an answer. "Yes ma'am."

I tell him thank you and continue to cook. After that we layed down on the couch and got some rest. He slept like a baby while all I could think about was how did we get out of there alive?

What would have happened if they caught us? Would they have taken Luka? Would they have taken me? Would they have taken both of us? What if they could've kidnapped us and took us to their hideout and tortured us? There are so many questions that I don't wanna I don't wanna find the answers too.

Sooner or later I fall asleep too but continue to have nightmares about today and what could've happened if we weren't careful enough.
