Thread: To Break Down The Walls (Kravin5150 & darkangel76)

Kyle slowly opened her eyes. Her body felt a little sore due the horrid events that had passed the night before. And the sun shining down overhead felt hot against her skin. The day had come so quickly, too quickly. Slowly, she pushed herself up onto her elbow. Somehow shed ended up on her side on the ground. Suddenly, Kyle felt a wave of panic wash over her. Vino, she thought to herself. Where was he? Was he still all right? Immediately, sat up and frantically began to glance around for the man who had saved her not just once, but twice. She didnt even take notice of the half eaten dead bodies strewn around her, the reminder of the horrors that had happened only hours ago. A few yards away, Kyle saw Vino. She breathed out a sigh of relief when she caught sight of him. He was standing over a large bird, a vulture. She peered up into the sky and saw a few more circling them. They were not after her or Vino, but the bodies of the bandits that littered the area with their grotesque presence. Kyle shivered just then despite the heat. She suddenly felt very dirty as the events from the night before started to process in her mind. Kyle watched Vino as he worked on the bird, getting it ready for them to eat. But, as she watched him, her mind was elsewhere. All she could think about was how those mens hands had felt all over her. Touching her, violating her, making her scream, making her sob. Seeing their dead bodies gave her a strange sort of satisfaction, not to mention a small sense of comfort. Theyd never be able to terrorize another woman ever again. That made her glad. No one deserved to go through what theyd tried to do with her. She bit down on her lip just then as she continued to watch Vino. Not only did this man save her life, but hed saved her, her dignity as well. And to her that was almost more valuable than her life. The way Vino moved as he prepared the bird for the small fire that was still somehow burning left Kyle feeling a sense of awe. Everything he did was done with a fluid grace. It was absolutely mesmerizing. She had no idea how he managed to do that. How hed learned to become so at one with the harsh lands surrounding them. As she watched him, she managed to push the dark thoughts of what had so nearly happened to her out of her mind. Instead her mind began to fill with thoughts of Vino. How hed come for her, saved her. The feel of his skin as she traced his scars with her fingers, his lips when she gave him the small kiss while he was sleeping. Kyle shook her head just then, trying desperately to clear it. She looked away from Vino just then and wrapped her arms around herself. Biting down on her lip she quickly glanced at Vino one more time before she looked around herself, trying to see where they now were. They were far from the sector path and the cliff that theyd been trying to climb. So she had no idea how far they were from Sector 10 nor did she have any idea as to where it was now. As Kyle looked around, she could see what looked like a dead forest in the distance. For some reason, the sight of it made her shiver despite how hot it was. She wondered if theyd have to head in that direction or not. Slowly, Kyle stood up and walked over to Vino. He was done preparing the bird and was setting it up in the fire, cooking it through for them to eat. How are you feeling? Kyle asked, her voice sounding somewhat groggy. Vino just looked up at her, saying nothing. Kyle blinked her eyes and pushed her dark hair behind her shoulders. And umm thank you. Thank you for coming for me, she added. Her voice barely a whisper.
