looking around and a new face -chapter9-

,, Simon and Eva were watching the bombs exploded, they were sure that everything on the ground from there died .,,

,, after sometime from the explosions,they decided that they will go down in a place where it's more calm to not get any radiation.,,

,, after a few days the two brothers left the cloud as they finally will go to the ground.,,

,,,,,,,,

(Eva pov )

,, it's finally time to go to the ground again, not expecting to see the best things but at least we got food and good supplies with us in the bags.,,

,, as i and Simon finally arrived the place was …well as you expected a destroyed city with no one in it , not surprising to be honest .,,

,, me and my brother were wondering in our surroundings to see if there's a good place to sit in , we landed on the lest destroyed part of the city , still a big mess but better than nothing .,,

,, so what do you want us to do now, want us to rest or continue moving forward ?. , I ask Simon while turning behind to see him .,,

,, I think… I think we should take a rest that's a lot to take in one day .,,

Simon said as me and him find a nice place between some not very destroyed trees as we lighten up some fire to warm us .,,

,,I looked around us as we been eaten some of the soup we had , we haven't found anyone alive yet , it the city is so silent that it's creepy, I tried to change my thinking as I looked at Simon , he really looked different with his long pointed nose and blue skin with a longer hair and a beard but he still was the same old Simon (for now) I noticed that he still had the crown in his belt .,,

,, why do you want to keep the crown ?., I asked him .,,

,, Simon looked kinda surprised with the question as he hold the crown and looked at it and said.,,

,, I ..I feel attached to it with all these voices and visions, they are telling that I will see Betty again, and it also saved us Eva it warned me about the bombs and it may help us to be safer in case anything happened to us here , I just… I just feels that I had to keep it safe …,,

,, Simon that thing is taking over you don't you see it , and please brother don't use it that much I can protect us after all I'm physically strong and I'm trying to learn more magic to help us here , I just ( sighs ) please don't use this crown in any unnecessary situations it's not worth it ., I told Simon as I looked away from him .

,, what will he think about me if he knew that I know about the cured crown all this time but i didn't stop him will he hate me ? I can't just mess with an important even like that, .. let me not think about it that much I will found a way to save Simon later in the future…,

,, as we placed our sleeping bags I had my book as I was trying to do more stuff with my magic, playing with bugs was fun turning it to a small lights was better that hearing its annoying wings all over me .,,

,, as I finished with my book and turning the bugs I thought about what Simon told me when I showed him my magic for the first time when I was turning rabbits and doves to stuffs ,he said I changed , what does he means by that ? I'm not changing I was just using my methods on a differents ways that's it ! Yeah I know some people are sensitive about animals and that stuff but it's not like that I did it for fun, I did it to get better at magic to not harm me and Simon and these animals would have died anyway from the war not that big deal and I'm still the same… right.,,

,, madness and sadness makes magic users stronger.,,

,, I remember what the canon has mentioned, am I becoming more mad because of the magic, Nahh that's not true I'm just thinking way too much of it , I will never hurt someone , the worst I did right now accidentally ( not really accidentally) killed some animals for my magic not that big deal , oh boy I'm talking to myself way too much I should go to sleep.,,

,, I was in my sleep bag as I closed my eyes waiting to the next day .,,

,,,,,,,,,,,,,

,, in the next days me and Simon went to explore the city to find anything or anyone alive, we were walking together around all the destroyed streets , houses, buildings, to see if anything is alive, as I excepted well no , we haven't found anyone.,,

,, actually we found some things, these were creatures like zombies except that they are probably created from the mutantion of the chemical substances from the bombs with the dead bodies ( or alive?) of humans, the moment that they noticed us they were trying to get to us , not for a good reason and I don't want to know what will they do to a person once they catch them.,,

,,we called them Oozers .,,

,,,,,,

,, after days from staying in a place to play running away from any threat like oozers , mutants, raincorns or anything familiar with these creatures we were in the middle of the city were all the good destroyed still burning buildings are here , as i and Simon were trying to find a way out of here Simon stopped .,,

,, why did you stop?, I asked him .,,

,, do you hear this .,, he told me .,,

,, hears what ? ,,

,, I think it's a sound of a crying , Simon said as he was heading to the sound's source.,,

,, I fellow him as we found a little girl crying…. A little girl crying that had a pale skin with two pointy fangs, she was alone and looked around 6-7 years old ….. yep that was marcilane .

,, Simon and I come closer to see her , as I tried to clam her down , Simon wiped her tears .,,

,, what's your name little one and what are you doing here alone.,,

I asked her .

,, my…. My name is marcilane abadeer .,,

,,The little kid said as she was trying not to cry , Simon noticed that as he looked around to find the anything that may help her calm down a bit, he found a near broken toy shop as he got her and grabbed a bear monkey like plushie, while he was going to get the toy I should marcilane some trick like making the hearts in the card float to make her happier, she seemed to like it as she stopped tearing and smiled.,,

,, Simon was back with the toy as he give it to her , she hugged it .,,

,, what do you think of it .,, Simon asked her .

,, I love it what's his name? .,, she asked us as she was hugging it tightly.

,, you are the one who get to name it .,, I told her .

,, hmmm , I will call him hambo , haha he looks so silly and adorable, what's your names you didn't told me misters ?,,

,, she looked up to us and asked us .,,

,, I'm Simon petrikov, and this is my older brother Eva petrikov, are you alone marcilane do you have any place to go ?.,,

,, marcilane looked very sad as Simon asked her , she looked like she was about to cr…,,

,, woah woah kid it's all right if you don't have anyone you can come with us it's not save anyway to you to be alone.,,

,,I told her this before she might cry .,,

,, really?.,,

,, she asked surprised.,,

,, yeah you can come with us marcilane.,,

,, marcilane started walking to us with hambo in her hands as the three of us started heading outside the destroyed building around us before the night starts .,,
