Thread: Darkness Is Just The Abscence of Light (Dream Writer and Sarah)

DreamingWriter said Kayla didn't say anything, she knew that they had the advantage right now, and she was not going to lose that at this point. She waited a couple of seconds, her head turning to look at Sam, and then scanning the surrounding buildings. The rubble seems to be scattered everywhere, and she only hoped that there wouldn't be too many more visitors. Kayla's eyes finally wandered back towards the leader taking in her appearance. Yes. I'm the leader, and I'm sorry, but my team is staying right where they are. Kayla answered back calmly. Sam gave a small huff, not taking being ignored very well. She was about to force her way into the conversation, before the wind shifted. She took a couple of sniffs of the air, before gagging slightly Oh my god! What is that smell! Sam screamed out, plugging her nose with her fingers. Then, Kayla and Sam heard two more voices, coming from where they knew the other two to be hiding. Slowly two slim figures rose out of the ditch, and walked forward to stand on either side of the leader. Kayla looked over the two new additions, raising her hand slightly and giving a signal to Natasha, before lowering it again. She didn't mind being dismissed by the younger two, and stepped to the side, motioning the other leader over, giving the younger girls time to talk. She figured Sam needed this, there weren't many girls of that age around camp. Oh wow! You are twins! That is so cool! Do you guys have a special bond or something? I've read about those. She blurted out with out stopping, excitement bleeding into every word You don't know how lonely it is being 17! There is like, no one to talk to anywhere. She says with a sad sigh, before brightening up again So what are you guys doing out here? How long have you been here? You smell dreadful you know. She said, before bursting out into giggle again. Kayla was off to the side, her eyes on Sam, before pulling them back to the leader, knowing that they were covered. She once again scanned the rubble and destruction, waiting for the leader to join her. Click to expand... Cat and Kat also crinkling their nose at the wind change stepped a bit away from their leader....KARA.... Cat started and PLEASE Kat finished the sentence...which caused Kara to raise an eyebrow in recognition..Oh ....yeah..... she nodded to the other woman, who she noted didnt seem as perplexed with her camouflage and the stench that was wafting off her body. Reaching up, she unclasped the camo netting and tossed it down into a nearby depression.....tends to keep nosy aliens and unfriendly people away....you'd be surprised at how they avoid looking too closely once they get a smell..., then followed Kayla to the side a bit. Oh wow! You are twins! That is so cool! Do you guys have a special bond or something? I've read about those. caused both Kat and Cat to shake their heads no in unison to Sam's questin...No...no connection......Cat began....we are just two..... Kat added...ordinary girls.... Cat finished and they both smiled sheepishly at Sam...and agreed with her on being young and the lack of friends...then began asking alternating questions in their usual manner. I wouldn't expose my team either.. Kara muttered, then as if putting the snipers out of her mind, figuring if they were going to take them out, they probably would have already done so. Kara chuckled to herself as she reached down, unbuttoned a pocket of her filthy dirty army surplus clothing and wrinkled her nose as she pulled out a squishy, melted candy bar, tearing it in half and offering a piece to Kayla... I am a bit ripe... then locked eyes with the woman...look...we have been battling these patrols since we left St. Louis 3 months ago....they havent given us a minute's rest..its like they are trying to gradually wear us down..I have lost at least a dozen people in the last 3 weeks...not sure what they are up to...but this wasnt an accident...this was a plain old ambush...they knew we were here and they want us alive... she broke eye contact with Kayla and her began making sweeps down the street. I dont know how many of you..... Suddenly, a shrill whine filled the air which caused Kara to snap her head upwards towards the western sky and the twins to break off their chatter in mid-sentence....before a look of fear appeared on the twin's faces at the same time and Kat yelled...damn...not...ag and Cat to reach out and grab Sam's hand...ain..BAT!'s....flyers... and Kat....we gotta go...15 sec before hell arrives...and both started towards a nearby alleyway pulling on Sam's hand.... Kara grabbed her rifle, turning at the same time, her body already beginning to move towards another, closer alleyway...almost yelling at Kayla......alien flyers....we call them bats...got about 15 seconds before this place is toast... her body already running towards the alley way, the words spilling behind her. In the distance, a small black speck appeared, the shrill whine wafting over the small town as both it and the sound began to get louder...
