Dusty Trails (Private for hellshero)

[Kokomi]

"Fuck" was the only thought racing though Amber's mind. Her heart was racing, her hand unable to remaind steady as she tried to unjam her 9mm shotgun. She could hear foot steps gradually get closer. How someone had found her out here was beyond her comprehension. She was usually more careful these days, seeing as there was quite a large bounty on her head.

Days earlier she had stolen a large amount of caps from one of the many fine gambling establishments on the New Vegas strip. She somehow managed to get out of there with her life. Her clothes were dusty and torn. Her armor in need of heavy repair. Her face covered in dirt and cuts, arms and legs bruised and battered. She sure made it out alive... but not undamaged. If only she could make it down to Primm, she was safe in that town. After all they owed it to her for the numerous times she fought of resiliant chain gangs.

Click went her gun, and it was finally unjammed. Quickly she pulled her dusty, bright red hair back into a messy bun and hid behind an old Nuka-cola machine that had happened to be in the desinigrating shed she had made her shelter. Her hand was on the trigger ready to shoot whomever... or whatever was about to come through that door.

daisy walked up to the shacks door. she was just a lonely traveler, rejected for her home back in the north westfive years before after she refused to carry the leader's son's child. she had still gotten pregnant, ended up with a still birth baby as she'd figured and rather then be tortured through pregnancy after pregnancy because the leader ran things like a kingdom rather then through dimocracy she waited till he was asleep and pissed all over him before running away at 3 months into her pregnancy. 6 months and 2 states later according to a pre war map her baby was laid to rest in an unmarked grave.

at the moment she was tired and needed to pee so before opening the shack door and set her unique varmint rifle she'd found called the rat slayer, turned around and lifted her skirt and began peeing.

Amber's hand laid on the gun, still shaking slightly. She waited a few moments before poking her head out... she was puzzled, hearing the sound of water hit the ground. She couldn't remember the last time it had rained in Clark County. Carefully she moved out heading slowly towards the door.

"Step away and you won't be harmed." She warned, quickly throwing the door of the shack open and pointing the gun directly at the woman. A little smirk came to her face, upon realising where the sound was comming from. "Interesting place to take a piss if I do say." The red head's grin grew wider, her gun still pointed at the woman. After all Amber was highly wanted and at this point she couldn't trust anyone...

[hellshero]

daisy looked at her and blinked. " yeah, it's a habit after my pregnancy. i just find some sort of cover and do my business. my father was a sniper though and drilled into me not to stay in one spot for too long."she said, obviously not knowing who the girl was.

[Kokomi]

Amber could tell that she was no harm to her... for now. She lowered her gun, and put it back into the holster on her belt. "I have my eye on you.." she said, her green eyes looking over the woman infront of her. She could tell that the woman and herself had something in common.. they were both on the run.

"If you need someplace to 'take cover' I guess you can stay here with me..." she said, backing into the shed "Make your decision quick. Can't stand here all day with the door open."

[hellshero]

she nodded. " sure, sound fine."she said, dropping her skirt after finishing. she picked up her ratslayer and headed inside. "so whats your story?"asked daisy

[Kokomi]

Amber closed the door behind her and sat down on a dirty stained matress. "My story" she said with a bit of a smile "You're probably one of the few people who don't know about me... not that I'm bragging." She let her long red hair down out of the bun before continuing. "I'm on the run, robbed one of the casinos on the strip. I was pretty drunk... to say the least." She paused, moving over so the other woman could sit down. "I managed to get away with a good chunk of caps... only problem is I can't spend them. By the way.. I'm Amber."

Her heart started to race, as she felt her bottom get warm. She knew she shouldn't have dranken that much cola.. oh well. "So how about you?" she said, a bit nervously.

[hellshero]

daisy sat down. " my names daisy. my story, i live up north in a town that was ruled similar to a kingdom. i was chosen to marry and produce the next ruler. problem was my dad was a sniper like i said and my mother was a nurse. she was the fifth child in her family, a family with a history of even with the best conditions in this terrible wasteland haveing multiple stillbirths, or children being born dead, before finally having a living child. my mother was lucky and got her living child in her first pregnancy. i didn't wanna risk it but was forced to get pregnant anyways. after three months i got some courage and went into my soon to be father in law's bedroom one night. he was a heavy sleeper and a drunk so i pissed all over him then ran for my life. 6 months later what i predicted would happen did, i gave birth to a dead baby. i said a prayer, buried her, then moved on and have been running from that past for the past five years. i`m 19 now and i`m finally far enough that i wanna settle down in a nice house, or shack depending on how many cap's i can make off my stash i've built up not far from here."she said as she watched amber.

[Kokomi]

"Im sorry to hear that..." she said softly. Everyone had it though these days, and after hearing Daisy's story she couldn't help but to recall the painful past she had blocked out in her mind for so many years.

"Before the casino 'incident' " she said, reaching into her bag and pulling out two bottles of beer, and opening one for herself, and handed the other one to Daisy. "To put it nicely... I was an escort. Until the night I was drugged and woke up in an nice pool of toxic waste. Then after that.. well nobody wanted an someone with the problems I had. Lucky I didn't walk out a Ghol. "

"If you want you can come down to me to Primm. One of the few towns that won't turn me in. I could even give you some caps for your trouble. Seeing how banged up I am as much as I hate to admit it I couldn't make it down there on my own."

[hellshero]

she nodded. " sure but hey how many cap's do you have?"she asked, remembering something she'd heard about recently.
