*A 15 year old girl with messy brown short hair wakes up from her dirty futon and washes her face in a rusty metal basin nearby, next to her futon her 'dog' is still sleeping. She's had another nightmare again, about a face, a disgusting metallic rotten face with purple living slime branching across it's face holding her in cold metallic hands ; then she remembers her other nightmare about the day her parents were taken by the watchers, she was very afraid but they would not leave them, her parents locked her in a small room with her father's shot gun and her mother's scarf. She remembered how the watchers those rotting husks with the same purple branching substance in them and their dead purple glowing eyes, they were horrid and she remembered how she screamed and cried but the door was locked and the watchers took them and broke her father's hands ,even bashing her father's head on the wall. When she did break out she tried to fight them but they knocked her out and she woke up in the apartment alone, her memory was vague.This was her daily nightmare but she couldn't escape it.*
A.N.N:Fjonir wake up, we're going hunting today. Unless of course you don't want me to share with you the venison.
*The 'dog' wakes up, if you could call it that, it was more of an infected wolf, it had the watcher serum in it's system from biting one of them she guessed, it grew faster and stronger than normal dogs , she'd found it the same day her parents were taken and it too had lost it's mother when she tried fighting back the horde of watchers and they mutilated her. They were both alone and so she decided to take care of Fjonir*
*The two are now outside with ANN's shot gun strapped on her back and a bow and arrow in her hands, the grey dog ,Fjonir,walks ahead of her as usual sniffing the ground and barking occasionally. She spots a deer and Fjonir quickly chases it and directs it back at her and she fired her arrow into the back of it's neck. Once it was down she pulls out the arrow from it's neck and snaps it's neck to kill it off. She then skins it and takes the meat she needs home where she salts and smokes it ; she then turns to face Fjonir who's half asleep in the corner .*
A.N.N: Fjonir tomorrow we're going out tomorrow.
Fjonir:*grumbles a bit I'm frustration*
A.N.N: Stop being so sassy, we're supposed to go look for my parents remember, I know they're out there somewhere. After all from what I've learnt about the watchers , they don't attack at random, they need a trigger and I'm not a trigger , neither are you so we'll be safe. Plus remember that day we saw someone in a cloak roaming and they ran towards the west after you barked at him, but he dropped a map .*she pulls out a map from a drawer and sits Infront of him and uses a charcoal pencil to circle around the location named "Mammon town" *, it's literally the closest town around 6 kilometers away, we can make it ok, plus I've carried enough supplies for the both of us*she then holds Fjonir's snout and makes him face her* please, I need to find my parents.
*Fjonir comes closer to her and she embraces him feeling the warmth of his grey fur and she knew he was her only friend,she loved him and he loved her , they would cross the ends of the world together*
*That night they slept next to each other and in the middle of the night Fjonir noticed her shivering and he covered her in his tail to stop the shivering, she was his sister , his pack and he would keep her happy and safe*
*The next morning the two immediately woke up early and she took her supplies putting them in a backpack and put a saddle on Fjonir's back with a satchel for supplies as well. After this the two left and headed for the west following the direction on the map ANN was holding. As she walked past the now abandoned buildings being reclaimed by nature she remembered a few of her vague childhood memories, her father teaching her to read, write and read maps in a place called a library and her mother teaching her to use guns , bows and arrows and knives, to salt and smoke meat to preserve it, then to make fires . These were good memories she held close to her heart , the good days with her parents.*
*Soon enough they're outside the city and they over look the abandoned city one last time and she waves goodbye as the sunsets slightly but she continues. On her way she notices a few watchers in the shadows of some shriveling trees, their orange glowing eyes piercing her soul , but they don't attack, just standing there, she's learnt well enough that attacking them will make them hunt you back and she can't have that risk of them hording on her, not now , she'd her revenge much much later.*
*The duo continue their trek across the desert even in the night and take a few hours to rest deciding they'll continue the sun rises and so Fjonir seeing how exhausted A.N.N is decides to take watch to let her sleep. This night she has a dream about her parents telling her not to go outside the city because out therethey would say were dangerous people who would hurt her, many bad people, but the day she saw her parents taken away from her(it was her birthday)she made it her mission to find them but she knew she wasn't strong enough yet but now after 4 years she was stronger and she knew they were still alive and out there and she trained hard just to find them and the first clues perhaps lied in Mammon town.*
