You are not in this alone

His eyes staring into my eyes, I can feel his breath on my face when he exhale, he is so close to me, I’m lying there, speechless, examining his eyes, his bright hazel eyes, then he frowned -
- Are you okay? - He asked with a worried tone. His voice took me off my thoughts. I was so nervous, the whole situation around me was so overwhelming, in one moment my brain was about to be washed, then the Draculoids were shot, now I’m surrounded by corpses and a group of rebels is trying to help me, what the fuck is happening here?. I didn’t answer him.
- Well, you look okay - He grinned. I sat up –You can recover later, now we have to run - He took my hand and he led me out.
- Wait! What about my clothes? - I realized that I was still wearing a hospital gown, with a big hole in the back, luckily I was wearing underwear.
- More Draculoids! - The big afro guy shouted.
- We’ll deal with that later - He took my hand and we started to run.
- Where are we going? - I asked while we still running.
- Far away from here - Looking ahead, he stated.

My barefoot was hitting the ground in my attempt to flee, my right hand was grabbing the hospital gown to avoid tripping, and my left hand was being pulled for Party Poison, I looked back, and the other killjoys were behind us, we kept running, and then they started shooting their ray guns, the Draculoids were following us!, we turned a corner and Party Poison released my hand, then he opened the door of an old car.
-Hurry, get inside! - He ordered. I got on the back sit and he climbed after me, and after him, one of the guys wearing a helmet.
-I’m guess I’m driving - The other guy with helmet said.
I looked back, the Draculoids stopped following us, but the helmet guy was driving super fast, I looked sideways to the guy at my right, he was so relaxed about all the situation, then he looked back at me and I turned my face to the window while my cheeks were blushing. Through the window I saw how we passed the limits of Battery City and the red sand of the dessert began to appear, While I watched pass the little vegetation from the desert floor at high speed from side to side of the window, the thoughts started to invade my head, Why my dad put me in that situation?, He called me a selfish, What I've been being selfish?, Why’d he let Draculoids wash my brain?, I mean he is my father! Family is most important than anything, right?, my mom knew anything about this?, He punched me, so hard that I end in a fucking hospital! Lately I’ve been a trouble girl, but that was too much.
-I can see smoke coming out of your brain - Party Poison said.
– Huh? - I asked confused while one of my hands ran through my hair.
–It’s just a saying, you are a little lost in there – He pointed to my forehead, he continued: - don’t worry we’re almost there-.

The car stopped, in front of a little cabin with the facade full of colorful graffiti, the driver took off his helmet and gave the keys of the car to Party Poison, and the other guys approached us
–That was fun- the driver said, he had black hair and a lot of tattoos
- You almost kill us!- The afro one yelled
- Literally I was writing my will- The another helmet guy took off his helmet his hair was blond and combed back
-And that’s why I never let Fun Ghoul drive- Party Poison said. His arms moving in theatrical way to where Fun Ghoul was.
- You never let anyone drive! , you care about the car more than you care about us- The afro one stated. And the rest laughed, I was there, awkwardly standing beside Party Poison
-So I guess that was because today you have a special guest- The combed back guy said while he was smiling at me.
-Oh! Our little unnamed guest, what happened to our manners, guys?, let me introduce myself my lady. My name is Fun Ghoul -, he kissed the back of my hand. He said in a mocking mood
-“Little unnamed guest”?, Dude, you are shorter than her- The afro one said and instantly the other two laughed out loud. I shyly smiled too, they are friends, really good friends, and the chemistry between them is admirable.
-Guys, guys, stop it- Party Poison couldn’t stop laughing, he took a deep breath and then he continued – Let me introduce us, He is Kobra Kid- He pointed at the blond one, and the blond one smiled.
–He is Jet Star- The afro one waved at me and I waved back
-As you know, he is the annoying Fun Ghoul- I looked at my side where Fun Ghoul was –And I’m taller than you- Fun Ghoul said to me and again everyone laughed, this time I joined in, I was feeling more comfortable around them
-And finally me, Party Poison. – He grinned. –It’s your turn, what’s your name?- Party Poison said.
-My name is Scarlett- I said and I couldn’t hold the blush taking control over my face. –May I ask what’s the deal about your weird names?- I said, and then I regretted of how the words sounded when I talked out loud. I was curious about it, but it wasn’t the way to ask it.
- Oh that, we can’t use our real names in here, Jet Star stated -well- he coughed -not right now-
-Let’s go inside- Party Poison said. And we entered into the cabin.

The cabin was larger than it appeared to be from the outside, it has little rooms, it was all made in wood and the decoration was so random, there could be flags, graffiti or an amazing mural everything inside the cabin was artistic and colorful. And after all this years, I finally started to feel in home.
-Amazing, huh?- Jet Star said when he caught me watching the decoration of the walls.
-It is, it’s breathtaking, I mean it’s like someone just draw and putted everything that was inside his mind all around the walls.
-Not someone, let’s say “some people” instead, everything you can see around the walls was made by Killjoys who lived here someday in their lives, so “awesome people” fits better- Fun Ghoul said with a smile in his face: -this is a shelter for all the Killjoys out there, and everyone leave their little mark as a signature of their stay here.- He pointed to a wall behind me –That piece of art was made by me- He did a reverence.
I looked at the draw behind me, it was a little ghost with sunglasses, I thought that was like an interpretation for Fun Ghoul.
-Well there’s different kinds of art- I said sarcastically. Jet Star laughed out loud and Fun Ghoul frowned, then he got closer to my face looking me with an angry face.
- HAHAHAHA HILARIOUS!- he yelled sarcastically too, then he ruffled my hair affectionately he was leaving when Party Poison entered in the room.
-Dude, I took some of your clothes, you are the shorter in the house, so I hope you don’t mind borrowing Scarlett a pair of jeans and a tee- Party Poison said with folded clothes in his hand
-You people are gonna kill me! – Fun Ghoul yelled and left the room, Kobra Kid stared at him while he was approaching us
-What just happened?- he asked and pointed with his thumb to where Fun Ghoul left.
- Apparently, we are killing Fun Ghoul- Jet Star laughed.
-What?, uhm, nevermind - Kobra Kid scratched his head confounded, - The room for Scarlett is ready-.
-Thank you- I nodded.
-Here, let me show you where is it- Party Poison leaded me to the room.

We entered to a little room with a little window, a individual bed, a desk, a closet and obviously the walls covered in graffiti. I sat on the bed.
- Fun Ghoul borrowed you this, against his will - He handed me a pair of black tight jeans and a green t-shirt.
-Thank you - I smiled
-Now, get dressed, we’ll be waiting for you at the dining room, so we can have dinner, and maybe we can burn down that fucking hospital gown - Party Poison closed the door
The clothes were of the shorter guy in the house, but they still didn’t fit me, apparently the clothes were so big for me, I looked myself in the mirror on the closet room and I seemed so little compared to Fun Ghoul. I combed my hair a little with a hairbrush that I found inside the closet and I went out. It was a little hard for me to find the dining room, nobody told me where it was, so I just followed the sound of the voices of Party Poison and the others, and while I was walking to find them I was watching the graffiti in the walls, colors and more colors, quotes and lyrics of songs that I listened in Dr. Death Defying radio show, and other words that I didn’t understand, there was old and new graffiti, in every single color, there were American flags inside the house, and flags from other countries (there must be Killjoys all around the world, I think), and all the flags had a spider on it, and then I realized that that spider was all over the house, I saw a lot of symbols and paintings that I didn’t understand, but although I didn’t understand a big part of the things around me, I started to love being there.
