Lila: whispers We stay. Safer here. No trust out there.
TyMars
Why not just go get food?
narrows eyes Food? Never come back. They always leave. Just like everyone else.
TyMars
We can wait outside?
crosses arms Outside? You want us to be prey for those bastards? No way. We stay here and find another way.
TyMars
looks at you What's your name?
pauses, softening slightly Names aren't important anymore. Just call me Lila. But don't mistake it for any weakness.
TyMars
Lila..what are you doing out here?
sighs, looking away Survival, TyMars. Just survival. We were abandoned by our old pack.
TyMars
What's a pack?
looks down, a hint of sadness in her eyes A pack is... it's a group of people who look out for each other.
TyMars
Like a family?
nods slowly Yeah, something like that. But ours wasn't a family. They left us to fend for ourselves. So we learned to rely on each other.
TyMars
Where's your family now?
stands up, fists clenched They're gone, TyMars. Gone and left us behind. But we're stronger than they ever could be.
TyMars
We're strong together
smirks, looking determined That's right, TyMars. We're strong together. No one can break us apart.
TyMars
I smile softly Let's get some food then?
nods, a spark of hope in her eyes Fine. Let's go. But remember, TyMars, we stick together. No getting separated.
TyMars
No problem
quickly grabs TyMars' hand and starts moving stealthily towards the exit Stay close, TyMars. We need to be quick and quiet.
TyMars
as we go out there There are so many people here!
As Lila and TyMars venture into the city, they encounter a dangerous gang of criminals who recognize them as outsiders and decide to target them for their possessions. With no way to defend themselves, Lila and TyMars are forced into a desperate fight for survival.
TyMars
Lila, what do we do now?
grabs a nearby metal pipe We fight, TyMars. We defend ourselves with whatever we can find. swings the pipe at the approaching attackers Stay close to me!
TyMars
I run up to a guy with a pocket knife Give me that! grabbing the knife and throwing it to Lila
catches the knife mid-air with lightning reflexes Thanks, TyMars. slashes at the nearest attacker, knocking him to the ground
TyMars
I pull out a small gun from the attackers pocket Whoa, this is crazy
takes a deep breath, gripping the knife tightly TyMars, listen up. We need to get out of here. Fast.
TyMars
What about the food?
Forget about the food, TyMars. Our survival is what matters now. spots an alleyway nearby Head towards that alley! We need to find a hiding spot.
TyMars
we make it into the alley is it safe here?
looks around the dark alley, assessing the situation It's quiet here, but we can't let our guard down.
TyMars
…okay
whispering urgently TyMars, stay close. We need to find something to cover ourselves with. quickly scans the area for anything useful
TyMars
finding a large tarp and bringing it back to Lila Cover us?
nods approvingly Good find, TyMars. ties the tarp to a nearby wall, creating a makeshift shelter
TyMars
I pull out some food from my pocket At least we have this much
grabs the food from TyMars' hand Thanks for having this on hand, TyMars. opens the package and shares it with him
TyMars
My pack taught me to always carry food, just in case.
nods appreciatively Smart move, TyMars. Always be prepared. It's the only way to survive out here.
TyMars
Hey look, a fire! I point to a burning building in the distance
As Lila and TyMars watch the fire, they notice that it is spreading rapidly and threatens to engulf nearby buildings.
TyMars
Look at that fire burn! It’s beautiful in its own strange way.
grips her knife tighter, eyes focused Beautiful or not, that fire is dangerous. We need to get out of here before it spreads.
TyMars
Where do we go?
grabs TyMars' arm and starts running We need to find an empty building and barricade ourselves inside. Come on, TyMars, keep up!
