The knocking was getting louder and louder. "I can see you moving in there, Ruby" Well shit. "Go away please" "We are worried! Nobody has seen you in weeks" "I am fine think you.  Go away please" It was quiet for a few moments. "I have some work I want you to do" " I don't trade anymore" "I need something done that requires your ..... expertise, I will play double."<br/><br/>Ruby looked towards her empty kitchen. Her food had run out 2 days ago, she could really use some more water as well. NO, she could not trust people, they were evil and cruel and only cared for themselves, only Sawyer could be trusted, he had saved her from those awful men. He usually came by at least once every week or so, she just had to wait. "No thank you. You can go away now" "Look Ruby.." "GO AWAY!" It was quiet for a few moments before she could hear the person move off again.<br/><br/>She had not always been like this, she used to love having people around, but that was before that horrid night, all the death and screaming and crying. The man pinning her to the ground just before Sawyer suddenly showed up killing them all. No she was better off here on her own.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Two rather large drakes snarled at each other, a greenish brown one snapping at a slightly smaller red one for a last scrap of meat. "Stop that Bert, share or I will take it away." The voice came from a curly haired woman sitting on a rock, cradling a egg like it was a baby. The two beasts stopped at once, coming up to her rubbing their heads against her one human leg affectionately. She scratched Bert behind his eye ridges. "Yes Bert, I am not mad, you are going to be a good big brother to your new brother or sister after all right?"<br/><br/>The beast made a rumbling sound in its throat, and she smiled at the lovingly. They had just managed to steal a Wyrm egg and she was keeping it bundled up and warm. Her mechanical leg made a awful sound when she got up. "Fucking sand! Ugg" She looked at the two drakes " Change of plans kids, we are going to have to find a town." She thinks cross roads were close, or well the closest. Well better get going then.
