Dead!

It took about 20 minutes to get to Darling’s place once I got back to the car. I was surprised by how close it was. Just 15 minutes down Route Guano then another five down a dirt trail, most likely formed by Darling’s bike and there I was.
The place seemed deserted when I initially parked to the side of the old building which looked to be a broken down fast food restaurant. Then the front door opened and a girl with dark red hair poked her head out. “Kittie? It that you?” she called. I sighed in relief and hopped out of my car.
Darling ran towards me and caught me in a bone-crushing hug. “Oh man, I’m so glad to see you again” She exclaimed before letting me go and turning toward the car. “Come on let’s get your stuff inside. I already got a spot set up for you.” “You knew I was coming?” I asked confused. “Doctor Death Defying sent out a message over his radio show” she explained opening the back door of my car and pulling out my sleeping bag and bag of food. I nodded and silently thanked for helping me out a bit. I walked over to the front of the car and popped the trunk so I could get the rest of my stuff.
About 20 minutes later, all of my belongings had been moved and set up in Darling’s place, making it look like I’d been staying there for weeks rather than a few minutes. Darling and I had broken into my store of food and were indulging in a can of BLI issued spaghetti.
Back when I was with my old group, the four of us, absolutely despising the taste of Power Pup, Battery City’s version of dog food, and also the primary source of food for us out in the desert, along with a minor allergy Night had to some chemical they put in the food, would usually go out of the way to get actual food. Robbing supply trucks, buying it from smugglers, breaking into Battery City even. A lot of people called us stupid and selfish and I silently agreed with them, however not wanting to argue with my friends and the prospect of eating something that wasn’t canned dog food kept me from voicing my opinions.
However, since my friends died I haven’t eaten any of the real food we’d had stored and it had been sitting in one of D’s storerooms untouched.
“It’s been forever since I’ve had real food!” Darling exclaimed as we finished off the can. We were sitting up against a wall, our sleeping bags under us. I hummed in agreement before letting out a loud yawn. Darling giggled which made me blush for some reason.
“You should get some sleep.” She suggested and I nodded being thoroughly worn out from everything that had happened that day. I shifted myself until I was laying down in my sleeping bag, as it was already getting cold as the sun finally completely disappeared beyond the horizon.
I had just closed my eyes when I heard Darling’s voice again. “I’m glad you’re here” she said, staring at the opposite wall, fiddling with the can we’d just finished eating out of. “It gets really lonely out here sometimes. It’ll be nice to have some company.” I smiled at her. “Well thanks for letting me stay here” I whispered.
