Survival

Chapter 6

It was when the sun was at the highest point it could be in the sky that I stopped and took a break. I leaned against a building taking a bottle of water out and sipped from it. I heard someone yell, causing me to jump. I looked around looking for the sorce of the noise but not seeing anything. Then again another yell sounded, I ran towards the sound to find two men rolling on the ground fighting each other. "Stop!" I screamed pulling out my gun and they both halted their actions and looked at me. "Both of you on your feet! Now!" I screamed at them, they both stumbled to their feet. "Now who knows where I can find the rebellion?" I asked more calmly. The first man sneered at me, "why would we tell you where?" he asked looking pissed. "Two reasons bitch, and I'm going to tell you them, reason number one: your fucking life depends on it, reason number two: I knew a girl named Ruby and she told me to come here." Both of there eyes opened wide "y-you knew Ruby?" The second guy stammered. "Yes, I did. She gave her life for mine, she's gone." The first guy let a tear slip out of his eye but nothing more, the second guy fell and curled into a ball sobbing. "Are they guys who attacked you dead?" The first guy asked sincerely. "Yes there we two in the begging, we killed them, then ran, this morning there were four more I killed 3 and she killed one." I said looking at him strait in the eye. "how did she die?" he asked "she died distracting one guy while she already killed one and I just finished off my second guy when I turned around, she was loosing the fight. I tried to distract him by stabbing him in the ass but it didn't effect him. When I finally slit his throat he managed to stab Ruby in the stomach and slice her shoulder. She lost to much blood and died in my arms." I explained to them, crying as I did. "Come with us we will take you to our rebellion." He said rubbing my shoulders, when he was done with that he took my hand. The guy who was crying managed to get to his feet and stand. "What are your names?" I asked. "He is Sam, and I'm James." James said squeezing my hand. "Pleasure to meet you I'm Scarlett," I said trying to change the mood. "Lets go home," Sam said sadly. I then followed after Sam with James at my side.
