Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

A Chapter by Sarah Elise Valente-Compton

This is good one!!!

The next day Lostboy came up to me and sent me out to get food and supplies I thought of this as a sign of trust and responsibility, I finally felt needed. I was determined to not jack this up. I decided to take Pixie because over the weeks we became very close, and we were both seeking the attention and trust from the group we so desperately wanted. I took the path I first came from driving along listening to a CD she had we both enjoyed each other’s company. We entered the city and I saw familiar building that I had once walked past I drove to a little store I went to all the time.

I looked around and made sure it was safe I call pixie out. We enter and we find canned food, and lots of clothing for the winter I load the car but we run back in because we found a Gorillaz CD. We grab it. As we were about to leave a herd of 10 Draculoids come walking down the street we wait until it dies down. I walk out and I signal to her it is safe and she walks out. A few seconds later she collapse to the ground.

I look over across the street and I see a stray Draculoid I shoot it and I goover to pixie and see a gunshot wound. I pick her up and put her in the back seat and I start driving as fast as I can.

I start telling her “Everything is going to be OK; YOU are going to be OK, Please, please be OK”

I felt as if it was Raven all over again…I HAVE TO SAVE HER. It is like I was given a second chance. I reach the camp and I yell “HELP! PLEASE!” and everyone runs out. Wolfblood and Disenchanted grab pixie and takes her inside to a room with a long table. The last thing I see before the doors close is Disenchanted pulling out a huge first aid kit.

Lostboy asks “What happened!”

I hold my head down and I break down crying and whimper “it is all my fault, all my fault I said it was safe but she got shot…”

He holds my head up and wipes and my tears and says “It is nobody’s fault, it’s OK”

I didn’t know what to say it was a side of him I’d never seen before. 2 hours later Wolfblood came out and Lostboy was hugging me and I continued to cry. I run over as quick as I and say “how’s Pixie!’
