Suzy’s Strange Saga
“Julie, go…” you say.
“Suzy! I can’t leave you here to die!” Julie says.
“I’m dead anyway. You aren’t going to kill Kelly. At best you’ll probably kill me and blow off one of her arms in the process. After which she’ll probably beat you to death with it, because its obvious she’s got what it takes to survive in this shithole world which is getting shittier everyday.” You say.
“Heh, damn straight.” Kelly snorts.
“Suzy, I can’t just leave you! I just can’t! I love you!”
“Yeah… well I don’t fucking love you Julie! I never have and I never will!”
“But…”
“Julie just fucking stop! I’m not into girls despite whatever you might be hoping in your heart, so even if you did somehow manage to aim that thing straight and miraculously kill Kelly without hitting me, that still leaves you with NOTHING!”
At this point Julie starts crying again and barely able to hold up the shotgun. Kelly on the other hand starts chuckling.
“Julie, go on with your fucking life and forget about me.” You say.
“I…I…can’t. I won’t be able to. I won’t know how! I need you!” Julie stutters. She still doesn’t want to hear the words you’ve said to her.
“Julie, you’re far more capable than you realize. You’ve faced shit this week that you never expected to and survived. You’ll survive this too.”
“No…”
“Julie, look at me. If you REALLY love me as much as you say, you’ll listen to me one last time and get the fuck out of here. Please.”
Julie at this point continues to cry and nods. She slowly starts to walk towards the front door.
“Aww, ain’t this some fuckin’ heart breakin’ shit? Hell, I think I’m about shed a goddamn tear myself…over how fucking pathetically hilarious this is!” Kelly laughs.
“Kelly will you at least let me give her the keys to the car so she’s got a vehicle to drive away in? They’re in my pocket.” You ask.
“Sure, sure, anything to get this bitch out of here quicker.”
You put one hand in your pocket and start fishing around for the keys.
“Just keep moving towards the front door bitch. Your little unrequited crush will throw the keys to you. Heh. And then me and you are going to have quality sister time.” Kelly says.
You grab the key and slowly pull them out of your pocket.
“Come on, come on, give her the goddamn keys, al…” Kelly says when you blindly swing your arm backwards to try to jam the key into Kelly’s eye.
“AAARGH! FUCK!”
You’re successful and the piece of metal sinks deep into the orb.
Kelly releases her grip just enough for you to slip from her clutches and drop to the floor.
“SHOOT HER NOW!” you yell.
You see Julie pull the shotgun back up to her shoulder and point it at Kelly. A loud booming noise fills the room when she fires followed by a sickening squishy sound. Blood splatters on you from over head and the slumping of a body falls partially on you.
Julie drops the shotgun and rushes over to help you up.
“Suzy! Oh my god, I was so…” Julie starts to say in between the sobbing.
“Julie, don’t fuss right now, I’m fine. But right now the pair of us need to get our asses into the basement and look for that shelter entrance. With all the gunfire that went off in here, I’d hate to think what kind of crowd we may have attracted.”
Julie helps you up, but in reality, she’s hurting just as much as you, so you basically prop each other up. You stumble down into the basement and fortunately you don’t even need to search. You see a hatch in the floor that you’ve never seen before wide open and a fluorescent glow of lighting coming from within it. Apparently Kelly didn’t even bother to close up the hidden door.
You take a look inside and see a long ladder down leading to another floor, which you imagine that’s the main shelter. You can’t believe how close it was to your room and how you never knew about it!
“How the hell did you brother do this with you hearing or knowing about it?” Julie asks.
“I dunno. I mean he managed to routinely change the entrance all the damn time too. Ben had a gift I guess.” you say and you and Julie start climbing down the ladder and you close up the hatch.
Eventually you get to the bottom and you and Julie open up a metal door, which is fortunately not locked.
And there it is, you’re in the shelter proper. Before you is a dimly lit living area with various furniture and even a TV. Other rooms include a bathroom, kitchen area, a couple of bedrooms and A LOT of storage rooms. One such room is huge, as rows and rows of canned food and bottled water are found.
“Well looks like we’ll be fine for sustenance for awhile. Doesn’t even look like Kelly put a dent in the supplies.” You say.
Another storage room contains a goodly amount of ammo and weapons of all kinds. Mostly rifles. Medical supplies are in another.
One thing that stands out is that Ben’s shelter has solid steel walls. You have no idea how the hell he did this and you guess you never will. You do notice on several of the walls something has been repeatedly scratched out though not entirely successfully everywhere.
At one point you make out most of it.
Pr-p---- o- th- Gr--n- -er- Cor---at-o-
“Well Julie, guess we didn’t have to spend a bunch of money like those fucking commercials always said. Ah, damn it!” You say and hold on to your head, which is still throbbing.
“Suzy are you okay?”
“Yeah, I just need to lie down.”
Julie escorts you back to the bedroom where upon you collapse on the king sized bed.
“Oh Suzy, your eye, your face…its so bruised and swollen.”
“Yeah, I probably look like hell. Guess I’m not very pretty right now.” You laugh.
Julie holds your hand and looks into your one good eye.
“You’ll always be pretty to me.” She says and strokes your hair with her other hand.
There’s a moment of silence between the pair of you.
“Suzy… when Kelly was holding you hostage, I know you said what you said to trick her into letting down her guard, but… was it really true? I mean it’s fine but I just…”
You don’t answer her, you instead just grab the back of her head with your other hand and bring her lips directly to your own and kiss her passionately. And this time this isn’t one of those fake kisses to trick the National Guard; you genuinely mean it, because you do have deep feelings for Julie.
When you and Julie stop kissing, her eyes are closed and she exhales like a wave of euphoria has just washed over her.
“Well…I guess that answers my question.” She says.
“Ow. Ow. Get up, get up.” You say feeling another wave of pain exacerbated by the fact that Julie is partially on top of you right now.
“Oh. Sorry! Sorry! You okay?” Julie says getting off of you.
“Yeah, just still really hurt.” You groan.
“Yeah so am I actually. Why don’t I try to go find a compress or something for your eye?” Julie says.
“That’s a good idea. Maybe bring back some painkillers while you’re at it. I’ll just lay here and hurt.”
Julie leaves and you’re left in the room alone. You mainly just lie there, but you do occasionally have the brief thoughts of just how fucked up this week has been. At least you’ve sorted out your feelings for Julie though. Despite the pain, you’re also tired. Really you haven’t even been up that long today in the scheme of things, but being held hostage and getting the shit kicked out of you is enough for you to want to go back to sleep.
Besides, it isn’t like you’ve got anything else to do immediately. You’re safe down here and you’ll have plenty of time to figure out what to do next after some rest.
You drift off…
“Suzy! I can’t leave you here to die!” Julie says.
