THE LANDS ON THE BORDER 2




Gaige's POV:

"They forgot about me!" She gasped.
Looking around franticly, she couldn't see anyone.
"Axton wouldn't leave me!!"
_{Or would he?} Her mind seemed to ask.
She desperately looked behind rocks her eyes filling with tears.
"Maya?"
"Zero?"
"Salvador?"
"AXTON?!" she shouted.
Only silence replied.
She thumped down on the dusty ground. The sand settled around her. What was she to do? She was certain that Axton would take care of her and not abandon her like her previous companion had.
_{I'm a freak.... Why would someone like me?}
She sobbed quietly, her tears splattering in the dirt below.
"Why?" She asked aloud.
She stood up and wandered over to their camp. She curled up in Axton's usual sleeping spot where she found the blanket he used to cover up with. Clutching it with a shaky hand, she clung to the blanket. Like a child, her tears slowed and her eyes got heavy. She slid into a deep, dreamless sleep. She clutched the blanket so tightly, one might think it was the only thing that was keeping her alive, only, what they didn't know, it was.

Zer0 trekked on, carrying Maya like a small child in his arms. As soon as Zer0 had restored her back to almost full health, she drifted of to sleep. He looked down at her. She looked to innocent and harmless, he almost wanted to fall asleep with her. He could use some extra sleep. The small cave were they had found Maya's creature, was a speck to their left as they followed the path up to their camp.
"I HAVE TO PEEEEE!" Salvador shouted for the fifth time.
" DAMN IT, SALVADOR! GO PEE!" Axton yelled.
Salvador wobbled over to a small corner.
Zer0 laid Maya down easily. Her eyes fluttered open, and she gripped his arm, like a desperate plea not to go. Zer0 sighed and plopped down next to her. She intertwined his finger with her and drifted back off to sleep. Zer0 laid down next to her and almost as if it was instinct, Maya snuggled up next to him. Her head between his helmet and chest armor. He hugged her tight. Maya let out a sigh, and she fell into a deeper sleep. Zer0 drifted off to sleep.

On the other side of the camp, a small body was cradled by Axton. He looked down at her.
_{Why must she be so lovable?} He thought.
He carried Gaige to the edge of the clearing, where he sat down and hugged her tight.
They sat there for a long while. Just before he fell asleep, he saw the creature climb on top of the over hang and lay down quietly.

"GUYS!" Salvador shouted.
"what?" Maya moaned.
"THE TRAIN!"
Zer0 bolted into a sitting position.
_{THE TRAIN!}
Maya scrambled up and gathered her things. She could her the clicking of the on coming train. The gathered her things quickly. Zer0 looked around wildly. A question mark hologram appeared on his helmet.
"It seems Axton and Gaige have disappeared."
"Who cares?! The train is here!"
