Part two
The light hit my eyes like a laser. Someone had open the opening to my small prison. The place wasn't much bigger than a 1,5 meter wide and 1 meter high. I saw someone in the opening but the light was too much for my eyes and I couldn't look.
"Are you gonna talk now?" he asked. It was the blonde guy.
"Great, let's talk", I said, I had nothing to hide.
He dragged me out from the small space, I had to hold a hand infron of my eyes because of I wasn't used to the light. We were outside some old little house. It looked to be from the fifties sometime. We got inside and the other sat there by a table. The blonde guy sat down by the table as well, I stood there and looked at them.
The red haired one began:
"Who are you?"
"I'm the one that ran away from Battery City. Now you'll have to tell my who you are"
They looked at each other like they didn't know if I was serious or not, I was.
"We're the Killjoys"
I had heard about the Killjoys before, I knew that they were some sort of outsiders. They lived by their own rules and were wanted by the Scarecrows or the pigs as I called them.
"What are you doing here?" the short one asked
"Well, basically, you brought me here", I aswered, "so I guess you're responsible for that"
"True. But what the hell are you doing outside the city?" he asked
"Escaping from fucking BL/ind, they've taken over the whole city"
It became quiet in the room. In the background I could hear some radio playing on low volume. I walked arounf in the room, the place looked like it had been some coffee-shop once. Sometime before BL/ind. I walked over to the radio, it was playing some old rock-classic it had been so long time ago since I had heard real rock, BL/ind had taken away all the music that wasn't couted as Better Living music. I closed my eyes and just listened. I opened then again and looked over at the Killjoys, they were looking at me as if I'd be dumb or something.
"So, what are you going to do with me, kill me or save me as a souveneir?" I asked and laughed.
"Well, you've got nothing to with the pigs at least, I supose you'll live", said the red haired guy.
The short one sighed like if he had lost something. I gave him a hatefull look.
"What's your name?" asked the curly one.
"I'm Aly", I smiled, not a real smile, it probably looked more like a grimace than a smile.
"Jet Star", he said and nodded.
"Kobra Kid", said the blonde one.
"Pary Poison", said the red haired.
"Fun Ghoul", said the short one.
"Cool names...", I said. I wasn't sure about what time it was, I had been locked up in that small place for some time and felt how hungry I was. My stumach growled loud, "Anywhere to get some food out here?"
"You went out in the desert without having any food with you?" Fun Ghoul asked and raised his eyebrows, he looked amused.
"Do you know how close I was to get BBQ'd when I climbed over the wall?! If I'd have carried a package of food as well I wouldn't have made it over! So excuse me for thinking more about my life than food!"
"If you'd have cared for your life you wouldn't have walked on that road, or you shouldn't even had ran away from the city!"
"You think I should have stayed, well..."
"You two, stop it!" it was Party Poison. He sighed, "Thanks"
I sat on the desk. I had never been good at making new friends.
"Jet Star, Kobra Kid, why don't you show Aly around?" said Party Poison.
"Why not, c'mon Kobra Kid, Aly", said Jet Star and headed for the door. Kobra Kid followed, I hesitaded a little, "Are you coming?"
"On ma way!" I said and ran out. It wasn't a very big place, not so much to see outside, we walked around the house, on the backside Jet Star stoped.
"Have you ever tried one of these?" he said and held up his gun. I looked at it and then at him.
"Not since BL/ind took over the city, you know all the weapons got taken away from the people. He reached it to me.
"You're just gonna give it to her just like that?" asked Kobra Kid, "How do we know she's trustworthy?"
"In that case none of us should have a weapon," he said and gave the gun to me, "Point at those cans over there"
I pointed at some cans that stood in a line some meters from where we were and slowly pulled the trigger and missed.
"I'm fucking useless at this", I said, ready to give up.
"No, try again, you're doing it right, you just have to aim a little bit over the can"
I tried again and did as he said and hit the can.
"Great work! You're pretty good though you haven't used a gun in seven years"
I remembered the summers at my cousines farm, playing with soft-air-gun and when their father let us try the real gun, it was so exciting. I had always been the youngest one so I had to follow the older biys when they played, I had never mind, I had never understood girl-stuff neither.
Kobra Kid leaned agains the wall, he looked relaxed but still awared of everything.
Suddenly Fun Ghoul came walking around the corner, when he saw me holding the gun and Jet Star trying to learn me how to shoot, he got really mad.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" he screamed and jerked the gun from my hand. He tured to Jet Star, "You think you can just learn her how to shoot, she doesn't belong here!"
He tured to me, I looked down in the sand, what had I just done? Thinking that everyone would accept me? Fuck.
"And you..." he said and came closer, "you fucking pig, you should leave this place, right away, we don't want you here and you actually think we belived in your little story back then? I looked right through you you dirty little lyar!"
He pushed me down in the sand, he might be short but he was really strong and I wasn't too tall either with my 160 cm and with my weak untrained body I'd be an easy match for him.
"Fun Ghoul! Knock it off! She hasn't done anything wrong!" Jet Star said and put himself between me and Fun Ghoul.
"Oh, look, you've already fallen in love with her. That's almost worse than she being here"
"Hey, you two, stop fighting!" Party Poison had shown up from nowhere, "She can stay as long as she want, as long as she live by our rules and she'll have to fight for..."
Party Poison didn't get any further with that sentice before we all heard a great boom from somewhere too close to us. We could see smoke from a place a houndred meters from us.
Fun Ghoul and Party Poison looked at each other, only one word was enough for all of us to understand what had happen:
"Pigs"
To be continued...
