CHAPTER 8: Leading The Way

  Avory and Lilly Continue to walk Down the hill, Nearly reaching the Now destroyed Town, Lilly Sighing, Avory Jumps Down The rest of the way, Landing on The Broken Concrete, He looks Around the Completely Destroyed Town, Picking up the Broken Town sign

  “Avenue Hills.. Well, It was good while it lasted.”Lilly Walks Into one of the clothing shops, Looking at The Bloody Rocks, And a Severed Hand, Making Lilly Gag, She quickly looks away, Gasping With Excitement From what she’s seeing, Avory Looks around, Grabbing still Useful Bullets on the floor, He Gets back up, Noticing Lilly, Holding Something behind her back, Smiling With Excitement and Enthusiasm, Making Avory Chuckle, Lilly Walks over to him

  “Close your Eyes~”

  Avory Closes His Eyes, Struggling to hold back a Small Smile, While Lilly Ties it so it stays on

  “You can open your eyes Now!”

  Avory Opens His eyes, Looking at his shirt, That now has A large Pink Bow On it, Avory Groans, But not with Anger or Embarrassment

  “You know, It could’ve been ANYTHING else Besides Pink.”

  Lilly Chuckles

  “It Looks good on you, Of course~”

  Avory Continues to search for useful bullets, while Lilly finds other things to humiliate Him, Avory, while searching, finds a Tattered Sheath For a sword Under some Rubble, He pulls it out, Revealing an Old french Sword, Still in good shape, sharp too.

  “Well, That will help.”

  Lilly Walks out of the shop, Looking at Avory’s New sword.

  “Whoa.. That is Awesome!”

  Then, Another voice Rings out from Behind them, In a Feminine and a somewhat Cocky Tone

  “Agreed, But.. I don’t think you’ll be Able to use it, Miss Baby hands.”

  Lilly Instantly turns around, Looking at the Unknown Person

  “I DO NOT, have Baby Hands! Miss TOWER!”

  She Gasps Mockingly, Obviously Trying to Make her mad

  “Oh! My heart! My Poor.. Poor.. Innocent Heart!”

  Avory Groans, Putting bullets in his gun

  “if you two Hate each other so Much, Why don’t you just Fight for Superiority?”

  Lilly Raises her fist, Grinning

  “GOOD PLAN!”

  Avory’s Eyes widen

  “I WAS JOKING!”

  She Chuckles, Crouching down to look at Lilly More clearly, Flicking her Forehead Mockingly.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  “What are you gonna do? Bite my Legs? I don’t think your even capable of doing that Either, tiny.”

  She turns to Avory, Forcefully grabbing his hand and shaking it.

  “Now anyways, I’m Aaron., Mostly Nice to see you!”

  Avory Sighs at her Cocky Tone and expression

  “Nice to Meet you too…

  Aaron Grins, Crossing her arms

  “You know.. It’d be funny if this Entire Infection and stuff Was caused by a Single drop of a mix of Herbs, Almost like an.. Elixir.”

  Avory Looks up at Aaron, His distrust Rising Quickly

  “Yeah.. It would Very.. Funny.”

  Lilly Grabs Avory By the arms Quickly, Staring at Aaron With Anger And Envy

  “Me and Avory Need to talk, WE will be right out!”

  Lilly Pulls Avory in a Building, And slams the Door shut, Locking it too

  “Avory.. Do you not Think SHE Isn’t being a bit.. Well You know, STRANGE?!”

  Avory tries to respond, Stuttering At every sentence he tries to Make, Lilly Interrupts his stuttering

  “Just.. Don’t listen to whatever She says, Advice, Or exploration, None of that, You got it?”

  Lilly Kisses Avory, Then quickly leaving

  Avory Sighs, Walking further Into the Room, Looking at himself In a Broken Mirror, Avory Lifts his shirt, Looking at the Bloodied Bandages, Grabbing the Loose Side, And Pulling it, Tightening the Bandages, And making him Slightly Bleed, Making him silently wince, a swirl of emotion washes through him, He looks at himself, Seeing his Attempts Fighting against Insanity Pathetic.

  “Was all of those Attempts.. Attempts to make them Proud.. Worthless..?”

  Avory Rubs his head, Groaning, Using a wall As support as he loses Balance, His head Aching, And his consciousness Fading

  “F-Fuck…”

  Avory Collapses.

  ABOUT 1 MINUTE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS

  Avory wakes up From the sounds of Gunshots, He quickly gets up and rams the Door open, Finding himself in his Parents house.

  “What.. Wait.. What the Fuck!?”

  He looks to his right, seeing his Younger self Hiding in a Wardrobe, He tries to open it more Further, His hand Phasing right through, He looks out of the window, Seeing the Incident Happen all Over Again, He Looks at the door, Still open, A bandit walks in, Throwing his Mom to the floor, Shooting her in the back consecutive times, Avory quickly Covers his eyes, His dad quickly running towards the bandit, Stabbing his Chest, The Bandit Kicks him to the floor, Taking out the knife and throwing it into his head, The younger Avory, leaves the wardrobe and Jumps on his neck, Stabbing his head multiple times, Till he falls to the ground, the Younger Avory Starts to Sob, Then he Wakes up, Avory Clutches his chest, Panting, Looking at his hands, still imagining the Blood of his Parents Killer on them, Avory leaves the room, Lilly taking quick Notice, Same for Aaron, Aaron Pushes Lilly to the ground, Waving at Avory with a innocent smile, Lilly Kicks Aaron in the stomach, And runs to Avory, Hugging him

  “Hi Avory! Aaron Was just admitting how Superior I was and how Much of a USELESS LITTLE-”

  Avory Cuts Lilly off

  “Yes, I am aware.”

  Avory Rubs his head, Avory again Losing his Balance, Lilly Quickly catching him

  “Hey.. You okay?”

  Lilly Looks at him with concern, Avory Quickly Playing it Off

  “I’m fine.”

  Avory Starts walking Down the street, Looking at the Tunnel Leading to the other side of the Mountain, Lilly and Aaron Following, Aaron Walking Faster to Catch up with Avory,

  “Quick Question, You are aware of the Bandits that Made a base at the other side of the mountain.. Right?”

  Avory Scoffs.

  “Yes, and I will Have fun ripping off the Limbs off of their Piggish Fucking bodies.”

  Aaron Looks at him, Confused

  “What now?”

  Avory Chuckles

  “Nothing.. Nothing.”
