| "Expecting and Thoughts of Evil" |
| Brady looked up to the endless darkness of the ceiling. She then looked to the dim light of the lantern and pulled out one of her own home-made cigarettes. Just sitting there trying to relax she thought back to her mother, and the life her mother lived. Remembering back she rubbed her swollen stomache that she now had. "You know that isn't good for you. Especially in your condition..." Brady looked over to left side of her to see one of the other girls that was near her same age. "What's it to you if I smoke!?" Brady then put out her cigarette. "My mother's friend wouldn't want to have seen her daughter killing her own grandchild before it was born." Rowena sat next to Brady. "Who the hell do you think you are telling me what my mother would've thought!" Brady raised her tone of voice. This woke up the other lost teenagers who were trying to sleep. "Can't I sleep for just one god damn moment?" Steve sat upright looking at Brady and Rowena. Abben was the second to wake up from the noise. He began to place his hand over the area where Rowena was sleeping beside him. "ROWENA WHERE ARE YOU! WHERE ARE YOU SIS!" With everyone alerted after that Rowena went back to Abben's side while Owen held his small sister in his arms. "Rowena don't do that! I thought the big death took you too." Abben hugged his twin. "Shh it's okay Abben it's okay I'm here." Rowena patted his head. Owen stood up and looked at everybody in the room. Alley his young sister who was rocking back and forth. Rowena coaxing Abben in the corner. Rebellious Brady who had her back to the fountain trying not to kill someone. Wesley his dear life friend was tapping his bat on the ground. Steven covering himself with his tattered sleeping baf. And then there was Alexander who was sitting on the stairs looking ready to take power. "Owen we can't go on like this we have to do something!" Rowena looked up to Owen. Owen nodded his head. "What? That's not fair I should be the one in charge!"Alexander jumped off the stairs and fell to the ground perfectly flat on his feet. "You expect this scrawny little boy to save you from the ravaging beasts out there?" Alexander pointed to Owen. "That's NOT what I said Alex!" Rowena stood up. "Well then majority vote is taken and I am Leader of the new MallRats." Alex jumped onto the fountain and began to sound self-absorbed. Brady rolled her eyes and so did Rowena. Owen just stood there while Wesley came over. "Well don't you act just like your father the great drunken Sexy Lexy!" Wesley looked up to Alex. Angered, Alex jumped down and put his face right into Wesley's," Don't you talk about my father that way. HE WAS A GOOD MAN!" Wesley turned to Owen. "Majority vote will be taken for a leader tomorrow. Everybody get some sleep there is a big day ahead of us for salvaging food!" Rowena nodded her head and went back to Abben's side. Owen did the same for Alley. Brady just gave a whatever look and tapped her fingers to her lips wanting another cigarette. Steve was already snoring. As for Alex he just looked to Wesley and gave him an evil look. "This isn't over Wes." He replied pointing his fingers to Wesley. "Yes whatever Alex." Wes said pointing his bat in the air as he began to walk back to his lookout post. Alex gave a last look to the walking away Wes and replied on his tongue. "I will, and who knows if you'll survive!" |
