Thread: Death Planet (DarkAngel76 and Kosmik_Khaos)

He could see her anger playing plainly across her face and in all honesty, it was adorable. The way she pouted stirred long forgotten feelings somewhere inside him. There was something about this girl that drew him in like a moth to flame. Ignoring the stirring deep inside he continued to lead her away from the ruined town. Pausing at her outburst he looked down at her with a raised eyebrow. If he thought she was mad before he had no doubts anymore. Smirking when she called him 'old man' he sighed heavily and took his hand from her shoulder. Taking a few long strides he placed a gap between them before spinning on his heel and facing her with a hard glare. The smug grin on her face annoyed him to no end. Her words didn't bother her but her attitude was pissing him off. I may be an old man, but you are still a child, a little girl with the smell of milk still on your breath. His voice was level but seethed with dangerous undertones. You wouldn't survive more than a week on your own before you died from the elements, or got carted off by marauders to be a fuck puppet. Pausing her watched her like a hawk watches a rabbit. After she blurted her last question he waited for a moment before drawing his revolver and shooting her dead in the chest. The retort echoed in the dead town and the slug met home on the left side of her chest where he heart would be. Just as the slug hit the coat the ballistic lining hardened and effectively stopped the bullet from killing her, but the impact from less than three feet away still took Kaira off her feet and planted her flatly on her back in the mud. The hit would feel like getting kicked in the chest by an angry horse and would most definitely leave a mark. Walking to her he looked down at her the revolver still in his hand. I could have let you die like the others. I could have killed you myself just now. I could have done many things and can do many things to you that the things of your nightmares have nightmares about. Stooping down he grabbed the front of the coat and hefted her to her feet with one hand. Holding her shoulder to keep her steady on her feet he watched her for a moment then sighed. We are going east. That's the best I can tell you, we will stop at the closet town and you can start over. Now lets go. Taking his hat off he laid it gently onto her head covering her from the rain. So little g-- Lady. Do you have a name to go with that lovely face of yours? He might as well know who it was he just decided to take under his protection. Normally he wouldn't give a damn, but that insistent stirring compelled him to find out more about the pretty woman in front of him. 'When did I decide she was pretty? Who am I trying to fool she is gorgeous and I know it.' Growling at himself he turned away and started walking east, the rain hammering down on him soaking him through. We need to move, it will get cold soon and if we don't find somewhere to make camp out of the rain neither of us will make it very long before getting sic k, and in case you have delusions about being alright, being sick out here is a death sentence. No doctors or medicines to help you in the wilds.
