Anyway! the story.
Carri pinned Angie down.
I could hear Angie squeal with laughter as our resident cyborg tickled
her. As long as the pair stayed away
from my potted plants I really had no problems with the rough housing of my two
companions.
“Say it Hunter, all you have to do is say it and I’ll let
you go.”
“Like hell I will you damned robot.”
I glanced up almost giggling a little when Carri easily held
Angie down with one hand. Angie, all
four foot six of her lithe frame was struggling the best she could against the
unforgiving hand. I had seen Angie take
on creatures twice her size in weight alone, though without her blades and
arrows she wasn’t strong enough to go against Carri, who before the accident
that took her right arm and both legs from the knees down, had been a soldier
for the State army.
“Hey Ash come on gimme a little help here.”
“Oh no way, you are not dragging me in on this fight.” I caught the green eyes of our monster killer
looking at me and shrugged it off. After
all it wasn’t my fight, and I knew Carri wouldn’t really hurt her.
“See now come on say the words already, you could have
escaped this hours ago you stubborn girl.”
“Belmons never give up damn it.” Angie struggled a little more trying to get
free still.
“Well not the way you wanted Carri, but she did say the
words, better let her up.” I was
giggling now, couldn’t help it the way Angie was growling reminded me of a
cornered fox. Carri let her go getting
to her feet.
“You’re lucky the doc jumped in Angie, you gotta learn more
self defense kiddo.”
“I do fine armed.”
It was my time to
speak, after all I was the only one of our little trio that tried to avoid
fighting. Being a pacifist exile in a
post apocalyptic world run over by creatures of science… Really sucks at
times. “Armed yes, but you know as well
as I do we’re not always armed. I barely
scrape by in a match with the little hand to hand combat I know, and sorry to
say it Angelia, I can best you in unarmed combat, even distracted by my plants.”
