Chapter Text
Loud gunshots rang out over the expanse of the barren plain.
Heavy panting and the light footfall of boots sounded out right after them.
Silver furrowed her brow and glanced out her window as a light blue blur zipped by. She almost dropped to the ground when three Raiders were right behind it. Silver snuck out of her door and hurried toward the third house down the street in the ruined town of Springvale. She raised her fist to knock on the door, but it opened before she even got the chance.
“Not even ten in the fucking morning and Raiders are already pissing on my doorstep!”
Silver dodged out of the way before she could get run over by her tall neighbor, trying to make sense of what was happening in front of her. A young woman was running down the street and three Raiders were chasing her and her neighbor was now right behind them. She never imagined that one of her mornings would have started like this.
Meanwhile, the 19 year old girl was ducking her head and dodging the bullets hissing by her.
Why did I think this was a good idea?! I should have just stayed out of Moriarty’s business, she screamed to herself as she squealed and ducked behind the corner of a house. Her heart felt as if it was going to burst out her chest as she gasped for air.
“I’m going to have me some nice, blonde, puss-“
The girl’s eyes widened when the Raider’s voice was cut off by a gunshot. She quickly aimed her pistol around the corner and was surprised to see the other raiders that were chasing her turning around to aim their guns at the newcomer.
The man didn’t hesitate to raise his shotgun and shoot again.
Before she could comprehend what was going on, the men that were chasing her were all dead and she was the only one now. She stumbled out into the middle of the street and opened her mouth to thank the stranger.
The man glared at her and growled, “Duck.”
She didn’t hesitate to drop to the ground as he raised his shotgun again.
She covered her head as she heard the sickening thud of the buck hitting a body and the heavy thump that followed it. Looking over her shoulder, she gasped when she saw the body of another raider with a crowbar in his hands. She quickly flipped over and crab walked away from the body as fast as she could, breathing heavily. She stared at it wide eyed; trying to figure out what was going on.
“Who the fuck are you?”
The girl whipped her head around and looked up at her savior, suddenly feeling light headed. Her eyelids fluttered as she tried to keep them open and her body felt as if it was made from the heaviest metal.
“Hey, are you okay?” the man asked.
The girl’s vision started to blur and she swore she saw three men standing in front of her now. “No,” she managed to gasp before her world went black.
