Chemist's POV:
I was looking at the sky, trying to ignore the stinging burns that racked my body. Good thing I was wearing my goggles. Or I could've gone blind or worse.
"Runner?.."
Runner:"Yeah?.."
"Is.. Sailor dead?.."
Runner:"Y-yes.."
I started to cry. I covered my face, letting the tears sting my face.
Runner:"L-let it out.."
We hugged each other, crying our eyes out. I hugged her tightly, letting my tears drip on my shirt. It burned.
"Wanna..go check on our dad..?"
Runner:"Ok.. I'll be right back.."
She ran over towards her friend, she told him where we were going.
Zombie:"You sure?"
Runner:"We'll be ok."
Zombie:"Ok.. just don't get hurt."
She hugged him,and ran back over to me and picked me up.
Runner:"Ready to go?"
"Mhm!"
Climber:"Before you guys go.."
She gives us these masks and makes us put them on.
Climber:"To protect you guys from the smoke, because it's not the fire that kills you. It's usually the smoke."
Runner:"Thank you Climber!"
She then carries me off into the city, looking for our old house.
"I hope I'm not too heavy sis.."
Runner:"Don't worry..I had to carry Skater because he sprained his ankle once.. you guys have a similar build."
She then stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?"
Runner:"You don't want to see this.."
I looked at the area to see bodies all over the area. I could recognize a few people. The Messager, who had a gigantic spear in her chest. The Digger,who had a big gash across her stomach. And several animals.
"I think I'm going to puke.."
Runner:"It's ok if you do..I won't judge."
I turned my head,took my mask off for a second,and threw up on the grass. I just wanted to leave that area right now.
"Ok..can we leave this area?"
Runner:"Sure."
I put my mask back on, letting her carry me throughout the city until we stumbled upon more bodies,puked, ran from a very angry guard.
"Ok..if I see one more body.. I'm going to scream."
I held in a scream as I was hit by another wave of pain from the burns.
Runner:"We're here..-AHHH!"
I looked over to see..our childhood house was in shambles. We hurried over there, hoping our dad made it somehow. We were wrong. Our dad was laying there,with a spike impaled into his head.
Runner:"D-Dad!!"
We started crying uncontrollably as she collapsed from grief. I hugged her,not wanting to let go of the only family member I have left.
"W-why?! Why did this happen!!? I..hate this world...so much.."
She carried me throughout the house, seeing our room that we shared as kids not being badly messed up. I started to yawn a little bit,with the darkness of the area signaling it was night.
Runner:"Try to sleep.."
"Ok.."
She laid me down and climbed into another bed.
"Goodnight sis."
Runner:"Goodnight little bro.."
I closed my eye and let my body go numb.
