Rabid

[Blaiiine]

Tyler waited to reply until he had sat down, tossing the gun on the coffee table.


"I took care of it." He finally said, putting an arm around her shoulders. Staring out the window, his face seemed like stone in that moment. Gone was the carefree attitude from before the outbreak.


"So, town hall. Who's going? I doubt you'll let the little sister roll along." Blaine replied, turning the radio down.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Neither her or Tyler. They've had enough action for a while, and besides." She gestured up and around them. "Gotta have somebody protecting this place."
Kai stared at the wall, pondering things she regularly pondered.

[Blaiiine]

"Gotcha. Well let's get ready shall we?" Blaine asked, picking up the bat and walking to the door.


"What are you thinking about?" Tyler asked, snapping out of his stare and mood.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly followed, "How we going about this?"


Kai sighed. "How this will affect the world. Death. How small we all are."

[Blaiiine]

"We do what we do best. Cripple them and flush out Farrow." Blaine replied, opening the back of the truck.


"When did you get from kids to death all the sudden?" Tyler asked, gently squeezing her shoulder.

[cuzyeahboi]

"Kids die. We will die. All in barely a fleeting moment of Earth's existence." She shrugged and smiled sadly. "Yet children have children eventually. It keeps going, a moment making a century."


Holly nodded, checking her rifle. She didn't have much ammo with her, but it probably would work.

[Blaiiine]

"That's pretty ethereal, dude." Tyler replied, scratching his nose. "But either way, we won't be dying any time soon. Or the kids." He added, returning her smile with his.


"We'll grab the ammo and guns from inside, should be some more shotguns and pistols." Blaine said, tossing the gear he had into the truck.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai laughed, "I'm sure."


Holly tossed the rifle over her arm, the strap digging into her shoulder.

[Blaiiine]

Blaine walked into the house, leaving the door open for Holly. He fetched his jacket, backpack and the rifle Tyler left on the table.


"You two got the house, hold it down. We should be back by sun up." Blaine said, sounding more like a parent than just a fellow survivor. He hoofed it upstairs before Tyler could protest, going on to collect the ammo.


Tyler crossed his arms and let out a defeated huff, his ears flopped down and tail tip twitching.

[cuzyeahboi]

"To be honest, I think ya'll got the harder end." Holly said, grim. She ran up after Blaine.


Kai opened her knife, inspecting it.

[Blaiiine]

"So I think I'm gonna cook us some dinner while they're gone," Tyler said, nuzzling Kai's cheek with his muzzle before hopping off the couch.


He checked the bag and pantry, taking out different options before cutting it down to two. "Which do you prefer? Stew or pasta?" Tyler asked, holding two different tin cans in his paws.


Blaine was changing when Holly showed up, pulling a black hoodie on. He had his jeans tucked into his now tightly laced combat boots, a knife stuffed in the side of one.


"You ready to do this? I'll admit, even I'm a bit nervous." Blaine asked, pulling his leather jacket on.

[cuzyeahboi]

Kai raised an eye, "Me? I would go with pasta."


"Then you still have a shred of sanity, my friend." She shrugged, "Me, I never had one. I was made for this sorta thing."

[Blaiiine]

Blaine put his paw on Holly's shoulder, gripping it gently. "Dude, you've got sanity. It's your sister down there, just like mine is that goof downstairs probably making puppy eyes at said sister." He said, laughing at the last sentence.


"Pasta it is." Tyler replied, standing up and sauntering over to the counters. Combing through the drawers, he found a can opener and got to work on cooking.

[cuzyeahboi]

Holly shrugged. "Lets go," She said wondering whether or not the twelve shots she had with her were going to be enough.


Kai watched, she had never been much of a cook but still better than Holly.

[Blaiiine]

"We'll split the guns when we get in town," Blaine replied, removing his paw from her shoulder. Walking down the stairs, he pulled up his hood and reloaded the AR.


Tyler finished what he needed at the moment and let the food simmer, walking over to Kai. He leaned over the back of the couch, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek. "So, you wanna pick the next movie?" He asked.
