Just a little story I did for my friend and her sister.
I think this is the final one



I open my eyes, waking up to a crack of light shining through the ruined ceiling. Kira laying against my side still asleep, breathing softly. I gently nudge her, she slowly opens up her heavy lids yawning stretching out her dust covered body. We both slowly sit up trying to minimize the noise as we start to gather our measly supplies. "Kira do you want to carry the rifle" I whisper to her as I hand her the scoped 308. She slowly puts her head through the strap as her eyes take on a purple tint. I smile watching my little sister as I loop my belt through the big cast iron skillet's handle buckling it back to my torn jeans. "Come on Kira get your pack on" I whisper to her as I throw my worn school bag over my shoulder. She mocks me silently with a smile on her face as she tugs the strap of her laptop bag onto her right shoulder. "I just wished we could find a market or something that hasn't been ransacked" Kira mumbles rubbing her stomach peering out a broken Window that looks down upon the ruined city streets. "Come on Kira we need to find supplies to get to the next town" I say peeking out the doorway into the crisp morning air. All of a sudden Kira yanks me back in by my pack putting her hand over my mouth as she points to the window. I slowly crawl towards the window Kira by my side. "Look out to the left of the burnt out bus " Kira whispers to me as she takes the rifle off her back. I peek up over the window ledge to see a faint person picking there way through the rubble. I take my bag off and open it up searching for a old pair of binoculars we had found In a church the day before. I quickly wipe the dust off the lenses as I put them up to my eyes looking at the now clear fennec. "Hay Moka look what he has" Kira says excitedly as the lone fennec looks in our direction and jumps as he sprints towards the bus taking cover behind it. I quickly throw Kira to the ground "what the fuck are you doing" I hiss at her as I scramble to my feet yanking her up "what!" Kira asks shakily as her eyes shade over white gripping the rifle tightly. "We need to move now Kira" I yelp frantically as I throw my bag over my shoulder as I sprint towards the door with Kira at my heels. We burst through the door running across the garbage strewn street trying to put distance between us and the stranger. As we round the block I run into the half collapsed church from the other day pulling Kira along as well. We sit inside for what seem like hours silently Kira refusing to meet my eyes. "What did I tell you about that Kira" I say quietly to her as I sit next to her. "You can't use the rifle like tha..." "why not" Kira interrupts her eyes flashing red and than quickly to blue. I sigh as I pull her into a hug. "You can't youse the scope on the rifle like binoculars Kira, the sun glints off that scope and we become a beacon for anyone looking at us" I whisper into her ear as I hold her in my arms trying to calm her down. I let go of her as I hear footsteps from outside, I hold my finger to my muzzle as I pulled my kitchen knife from my pocket and unwrapped the rags from around the blade. I gulped as I watched Moka go through the doorway her hand wrapped tightly around the knifes handle. I wait silently on the rubble strewn ground, waiting for my sister to come back, and then I heard the scream.... I jump as I run to the door my hoodie getting caught on some rebar tearing the gun strap and a big strip of the hoodie off, but I don't notice as I barge out into the street. I freeze as I see the fennec sitting on Moka's chest as he fights to get the knife out of her hand, blood streaming from a deep gash in his cheek running down his brown spotted neck and into a tac vest.

I charge into his side with my shoulder knocking him off of Moka. I breathe heavy trying to get air back into my lungs my heart feeling like a jack hammer as I watch moka getting up with her knife. I look back over at the fennec who was all ready back on his feet turning back to Moka who was still struggling to get up. I watch In horror as his combat boot connects with her side sprawling her out on the ground. She is gasping in pain as he brings his leg back for another kick as I lunge at his arm pulling him off balance. I pull on his arm as I swing him to the side throwing him to the ground. I don't give him a chance to get back up as I leap at him only to catch a boot to the chest. I feel the air explodes out of my chest as i fall to the ground, I watch as he picks his self up and grabs a brick. My eyes go wide as I see him approach me. I roll away from him as the brick smashes into the concrete where my head just was. I quickly throw my self at the bottom of his legs knocking him atop me. I wince from the pain but i quickly put his leg in between my jaws as I bite down tasting the iron as the blood flows into my mouth. My eyes go black as I feel the bone snap and give between my jaws not hearing his screams as I bite down harder. Than there was silence as he went limp. I slowly open my mouth as i feel blood pool around my legs. I look over towards my feet seeing him staring back at me with blank eyes and a slit throat, moka was kneeling beside him with her kitchen knife bloodied. I strain as I push his body off mine. I sit up in a daze "are you ok Kira?" My big sister asks as she holds her side in pain. I gag as I taste the blood in my mouth and feel it in my throat. I raise my self out of the thickening pool of blood gagging as I make my way to the side of the church leaning against it as i feel the bile rising in my throat. I shudder as I struggle to hold myself up as I throw up on the side of the church. I wipe my mouth of the blood and gunk with the back of my hand as I stumble back to Moka who is staring at the person that just tried to kill us. "So what are we going to do with him" I ask as I croutch down next to her. "Well we better take what we can use " Moka sighs as she puts her knife to the side. "Help me sit him up against the wall Kira" Moka says as she grabs hold of one of his arms. I grab the other one as we drag his corpse over to the church leaning it against the wall. "Wait where is the assault rifle" I say confused looking behind him and back at where the fighting took place. Moka drops his vest in suprise and stares at me "what he had a assault rifle" "yeah that's why I got excited when I seen him" I say rubbing the newly forming bruises. "Well if we don't find it we allways have this" Moka flashes a 9 mm from its holster. I roll my eyes as I limp around looking through piles of rubble. "Come on Kira your not going to find it" Moka snickers as she puts the newly found firearm into her bag. I smile as I hear people in the distance "hey sis, grab the rifle were going to have the supplies to make it to the next town after all".....
