where is my mother? i am aching and alone, and i want to be small again. i want to know i am safe, as long as i'm in her arms. i want to remember a time i was protected. i want the smells of my childhood, of warm bread and her perfume and honeyed fly traps.

I've got a place not too far from here ◞ you're more than welcome to come back with me .
It's not the best thing ever —— but it's something . . . Warm & something food .

ㅤYou can say that again . . . Feels like they're all simple minded . . . Deprave them of something & they'll crave it till they die . . .
ㅤ( Well —— Layla isn't exactly innocent either —— she's just not as bad

i miss you so much it feels fucking gross. it feels wet. it feels nauseating. i want to rip out my heart and shake it like a magic 8 ball. is this okay, is this okay, is this okay? or does it make me weak?
“ men are 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 the same , thinking 💭 with their pants .. playing with their f͟o͟o͟d. even the most deranged , are simple minded bastards. ”
stretching tired muscles , occasionally checking said surroundings for 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔.

ㅤDead .
ㅤcannibals or something . . . Though they sure as shit wanted their fun before getting their pound of flesh. .
That's what got them ◞ too busy unbuckling their pants to notice the blade is had in my shorts . . .

bruised digits trace along scared flesh , before innocent 𝑜𝑟𝑏𝑠 eying up the older girl. before a serious explosion washed all over the brunette , sigh passing from her petite core.
“ where are these 𝑎𝑠𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 , who are they ? “
ㅤ
Can't blame a girl for being paranoid —— last time I wasn't . . .
( lifting her vest top slightly , right side having a round bullet scar ◞ a few others smaller ones from knifes )
Well . . .you can come back with me if you want ?
ㅤ
afraid this an ambush , afraid i’m gonna steal your 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑠ℎ ?
( a half baked smile tugged on each corner of those chapped brims , tugging at some tense heart strings. )
yeah , i’m alone.

So about the same —— searching for candles as well . . . The place im at gets really fucking dark . . .
( That was the new normal —— well if you count anything to be normal in this era . . . Everyone was jumpy and trigger happy)
Are you traveling alone?
“ 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 .. supplies , you know. making useless , useful —— and everything in between. ”
demeanor danced on the edge of calm and susceptive , it was the natural order of things .. whatever “ 𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟 “ was 💭
“ and 𝓎o͟u ? ”

You're telling me —— I haven't seen or heard anyone in months ,'
( Hues danced around Ellie ◞ searching over every little detail —— definitely same old Ellie . . . )
Same as you —— probably ◞ just looking for food . . .

“ still slow on the 𝑝𝑢𝑛𝑐ℎ , i thought you were 💭. ”
arms returned to sender , palms messily holding said wooden weapon.
𝑠𝑢𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑜𝑟𝑏𝑠 eying the girl before her , heart racing as thoughts attempted to conjure.

ㅤHand reached to grab her pistol from her hip ◞ though it seemed Ellie was quicker . . .
ㅤ`` Hang on —— Ellie ?? ``
Grip loosening on the weapon as she stepped forward ◞ sunlight running off those familiar curly ginger locks
