A destroyed world

I thought for a moment dropping out of the conversation. I spoke up again. "They will go for barricaded buildings. It means they are untouched, likely to have supplies and/or others are inside… just stay hidden where we can jump them if they decide to try a raid."

((The door is a hole in the wall if I remember correctly.))

"I see." She nodded. She stared at her feet, not really sure what else to say. I know I'm being selfish She thought.But I don't want to have anybody turn on us...on me She fought the urge to cough again.

(You could at least move an empty shelf in front of the doorway... or a couple of shelves.)

Riley nodded. "Lets hide then." He glanced at Lacey. "You doing all right?"

Moonbeam66 · Dec 19, 2012

"Yeah I'm fine I just have a lot of ash in my lungs from walking outside so much in the ash. And sleeping outside." She coughed again, regretting all those cold nights lying in ash.

((lol no one will notice an empty shelf blocking a giant hole in the wall xD well if the apocalypse had happened like 3 days earlier it might have worked but were down to the smart and experienced ones now.))

"I'm going to keep watch. Just find positions." I said.

Moonbeam66 · Dec 19, 2012

"Alright." Lacey said. She put herself where she could watch for any signs of danger.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

Luna woke up to the sound of the engines. Her head was slightly pounding and she groaned quietly. She heard voices and assumed it was a few of the guys that took refuge along with her.

"What's..." She began slowly. "Is that a raider?"

Quickly, Luna put on her goggles and took her bow and quiver in hand. She sheathed one of the many daggers she owned and poured water on the fire.

"Why didn't anyone wake me?" She asked, angrily.

Lone_Explorer · Dec 19, 2012

"Sorry," Riley said, "We were a bit busy figuring out what to do. Just stay quiet and stay hidden."

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

"Yeah." A muffled voice said. "No shit."

Luna breathed slowly as she heard the engine slow down to a hum only mere meters away from their shelter.

Warenai hana · Dec 19, 2012

I watched it slow. It was a single person. I held up one figure telling them that it was only one.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

Luna nodded and quietly loaded an arrow. Suddenly the girl behind them began coughing again. Luna quickly covered her mouth with a cloth and glared at her.

There was a rustling.

"Shit." Luna mumbled.

Warenai hana · Dec 19, 2012

I went to the door with my riffle ready. If he walked in without saying anything I would kill him.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

There was a moment of still silence. Luna felt her heart beat in her chest. This was not good.

After a moment there was the sound of a slab of concrete being thrown on the ground, dangerously close to the shelter.

Warenai hana · Dec 19, 2012

Fuck it! I'm just going to blow this guys head off. I started to walk over to the door ready to exit.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

Luna almost said something, but it would risk giving away their position.

Oh my god. The guy just totally is going to kill him.

Warenai hana · Dec 19, 2012

I turn quickly around the wall and look at the exit quickly spotting the person. "Who are you!" I was originally going to shoot him but something made me stop.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

Riley turned at the shout.

"Oh," She said nonchalantly. "It's a survivor."

She pushed her black hair over her shoulder and took the cigarette out of her mouth. Despite all the ash, this girl continued with her addiction. By the way she was dressed and by the mere fact she had a cigarette, it was easy to see that she was someone respectable.

Luna sat up straight. She heard the voice and instantly recognized it. It was exactly like her own. Taking her bow with her, she made sure Lacey stopped coughing before she stepped out behind John.

"Riley?" She asked in disbelief.

Riley hesitated. She looked through her sunglasses and raised an eyebrow.

"Who are ya and how do ya know me?"

Luna pulled up her goggles.

"It's me... You're sister."

The cigarette dropped.

Warenai hana · Dec 19, 2012

I turned and walked back inside not caring for family reunions.

Luna · Dec 19, 2012

Luna and Riley looked at each other. Black hair, gray eyes...

"I.. I thought you were dead."

Riley took off her sunglasses.

"Same..."

"What are you doing as a... raider?"

"Oh," Riley looked down. "This? Na, I kind of just made a name for myself. Don't worry, I haven't killed anyone or anything. I'm more of a trading and bartering person."

Luna nodded. "Right..."

I was getting tired of the conversation so I walked out of the building and down the street.
