Fallout: Life In The Wasteland

Part 8 - "Echoes of the Past"

By: Jesse Racine AKA Samson

Original Date Written: January 14, 2011

Kid awoke slowly, his mind peacefully drifting into wakefulness. It was the start of a new day. He could feel the warmth of Dawn's body, Dawn still partially resting on top of Kid. He could feel her body slowly shift with every one of her soft breaths. They were in the same position they had been in before they had fallen asleep, with Dawn close to Kid's right side, her right leg between his. Her right elbow on his stomach, her hand down on his chest, the left side of her face was close to his neck yet resting down on the pillow below the both of them, her chin touching his shoulder slightly. Kid looked over to her face, seeing her to have a calm and relaxed face, just slowly breathing and going on sleeping. She was so beautiful, Kid couldn't help but gaze along her face for a few moments. He slowly raised his left hand to the one she kept over his chest, softly resting his hand down over her's. He brought his head a little closer to her's, closing his eyes, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, kissing some of her soft bangs in the process. Kid closed his eyes for a few minutes, keeping his head turned towards her's, relaxing silently.
He was so happy to be with her, a smile was on his face constantly. Kid suddenly heard a loud noise downstairs, sounding like it was coming from the kitchen. He opened his eyes then, a confused face coming to him. What could it have been? He heard the noise again, quieter this time. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was almost like a little crashing sound. He didn't want to leave Dawn's side, but he figured that he had to investigate the cause of the sound. It took him a minute to slip away from Dawn, Kid not wanting to wake her. Very slowly and gently, he slipped out from under her arm and leg, letting her rest on the bed alone. He pulled on his boxers and jeans, spotting Dawn's Gauss rifle to be on the floor nearby, by her pieces of black armour. If the noise was being caused by an intruder, Dawn's Gauss rifle would surely stop them. He raised it up, getting a feel for it. It was heavier than he had thought it would be, but he could still hold it up if need be. He tip-toed over to the door of the master bedroom, opening the door just a crack before slipping through, making no sound during his escape.
He quietly made his way down the stairs, hearing the sound again, knowing for sure that it was coming from the kitchen. He raised up the rifle as he jumped into the kitchen, pointing the gun towards the back of the figure he saw. He quickly lowered the weapon when he saw that it was only Libitina. She was wearing the same clothes from the day before. She looked over her shoulder when she heard him. She was standing at the sink, an empty bottle of water sitting on the counter by the sink's side. She smiled a little, looking back to the sink in front of her a moment later. "I guess you guys came and got me last night, huh?" She asked. Kid rested the rifle down on the nearby kitchen table before saying "Yeah, I wanted to talk to you, and then..." Kid trailed off. He walked up to Libitina's left side, saying "I'm sorry for saying what I did yesterday, I really didn't mean to sound pissed off...I mean it...I'm sorry..." Libitina sniffled and smiled, still looking down into the sink, her hands down in it. "I know you are. It's okay. I freaked out at first, but I was being stupid."
Kid glanced down into the sink. He saw the water within to be a dull crimson colour, the water moving slightly as Libitina moved her hands around inside, rubbing her hands together. She seemed to be cleaning the blood from her hands. Kid kept looking to the sink as he calmly asked "What happened last night?...Wh-When Dawn and I found you, there were so many bodies..." Libitina chuckled for a second before, in an almost unnaturally collected tone, said "Temporary moment of insanity. That's all it was. I'm alright, now." She raised her eyebrows and looked over to him, adding "They come and go. They stopped after I found you, ages ago...But I guess they're coming back. I can deal with it." Kid was worried, but he had begun to grow wary of his words. Too many times had he caused someone hurt by speaking about a sensitive subject, and right then and there, what the two of them were talking about seemed sensitive enough. He only asked one more question, asking a simple "Are you sure?..."
Libitina smiled more and nodded, saying "Yeah, I'm alright." Kid held his arms out by his sides slightly, asking "Can I get a hug?..." Libitina's eyes widened just slightly, but she smiled even more, almost grinning. She pulled her hands from the sink, shaking them for a moment to try and remove some of the water lingering on her skin. A second later, she turned to Kid, coming closer, closing her eyes. She slipped her arms under his and around his torso, resting her hands against his mid back. He slipped his arms around her and did the same, resting his hands against her mid back, bringing his head by her's. Her chin resting on his right shoulder, she smiled with closed eyes, keeping her right temple against his right ear. They hugged tightly for several seconds. Kid had only intended to hug her for a few seconds, but when he found himself in the embrace, he didn't really find himself willing to let go, and neither did Libitina. Maybe it was because of last night, about how worried he had grown over her? Now that she was okay and in his arms, maybe he was just showing that he had cared?
He didn't know for sure, but before long, the two had hugged for a full minute. Kid gently began to rub along her back, feeling from the small of her back up to her shoulder blades, unintentionally running his hands along the straps of her bra, as well. Libitina gently began to do the same to him, rubbing along his back, almost massaging him. After a few more seconds, Kid quietly told her that he had been worried about her. He asked her not to run off anymore. He felt her pull back her head slightly, giving him a kiss on his right cheek before resting her chin down on his shoulder again. "Okay...I promise..." She whispered. "Thanks for worrying about me..." She added quietly. They hugged for a few more seconds before Kid felt that the hug had to end eventually, so it might as well end right then. He didn't know how to get Libitina to release him however, as she seemed to love holding on to him. He decided to tease him a bit, finding her main bra strap with his right hand, pinching it and pulling it back, releasing it so it'd lightly snap against her skin. She gasped and gave a little jump, releasing him.
She smiled playfully at him, narrowing one eye and giving him a look. She raised a hand and wagged a finger at him, saying "Hey, that's not cool, Kid!" Kid grinned and said nothing. Libitina's reaction wore off a moment later, the girl then saying "Alright, well...I need to finish washing my hands..." She sighed softly. "...And then I need to put on a new face. And then I think I might go out and try to find another Shredder glove, although I doubt I will. The things seemed pretty rare." Kid worriedly asked "Will you be alright out there?" Libitina confidently nodded, saying "Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking." Kid said "Alright, I'll be upstairs with Dawn, we might come down some time soon, maybe not, I don't know." Libitina grinned and said "Give Dawn a nice spanking for me, hmm?" Kid blushed intensely, giving Libitina a blank look for a second. Libitina chuckled and waved a hand at him, quickly saying "Nevermind, nevermind. Just get up there." Kid blinked a few times, smiling slightly, still blushing as he grabbed the Gauss rifle and began to make his way up the stairs again.
Quietly pushing the door to the master bedroom open again, he slipped inside, closing the door fully behind himself. He spotted Dawn to still be asleep, lying on the bed where he had left her. He crept over to the bed's side, resting her rifle down by her pieces of armour before undoing and lowering his jeans. He stepped away from his jeans and lowered his boxers, stepping away from them, as well. He looked to Dawn's body, freezing slightly, beginning to blush intensely. She was lying in such a beautiful pose. With her right leg still reaching out slightly, Kid could just barely see some of the lovely pink flesh of her pussy, her crotch almost entirely hidden. Her ample rump and beautifully thick thighs were practically on display, her ass especially drawing in Kid's eyes. Kid could see the huge pillows of flesh that were her breasts pushing into the bed from under her, billowing out by the sides of her chest a little. Her long black hair hung down on the left side of her back, also reaching over and covering the upper part of her left arm, which rested by her side. With her head partially resting down on the pillow beneath her, only part of her beautiful face was visible, but that part was enough.
Looking back to the space between her creamy thighs, he spotted that her skin looked a little shiny, like it was kind of sticky. Kid looked down to himself, seeing his tool to have the same look to it. "Hmm...We probably need a bath." He thought pensively. He looked towards Dawn again, beginning to get a naughty idea. Would Dawn mind if he...? No, no...He shouldn't...But would it be okay if he did?...Kid smiled a little. "She's asleep right now, she wouldn't let me...Right? I think she wouldn't...But...Hmm...Maybe I could...Just a little, it shouldn't be a problem....I hope..." Very gently and calmly, he got on to the bed, crawling over towards Dawn's body. He was on his knees, his right between Dawn's legs, his left by Dawn's left thigh. He slowly reached his hands down to the cheeks of her backside, touching her gingerly for a moment before pulling his hands back. He glanced to her face, seeing no reaction from her. He looked back to her backside, bringing his hands down to her once more, feeling her soft and plush skin run against his hands. He felt all along her rump's cheeks, being very gentle with her, not wanting to wake her.
He seemed to be doing well, as she didn't react in the slightest to his rubbing. He quickly began to grow aroused, reaching up to the sides of her chest, to her mounds pushing out by her sides. He ran his fingers along her soft flesh, wishing dearly he could play with her nipples yet not willing to push his hands under her for fear of waking her. He leaned over, closing his eyes, pressing a kiss to the small of her back, actually feeling her tremble lightly for a moment. He looked up to her face, seeing a faint touch of blush to have entered her cheeks. He gave her another two kisses, but she didn't react any further, her gentle blush just continuing on. Kid brought his hands back down to her rump's cheeks, gently resting his hands against her for a moment before slowly beginning to part her cheeks. In just a second, her bodily treasures were revealed to him, Kid able to see her backside's tight entrance as well as a bit of her womanhood's lips. Kid took his hand from her left cheek, only keeping her right cheek pulled to the side. He brought his hand down to her vaginal lips, affectionately beginning to rub the tips of two fingers along her supple flesh.
She gave another quiver after a second or two of light rubbing, a touch more blush entering her cheeks. He softly parted her lips, spotting her pink interior to be mostly devoid of moisture. He kept her open for a second, giving her right cheek a gentle squeeze, suddenly seeing a soft glimmer of moisture to develop inside Dawn. By then, Kid was fully aroused, his tool hard and standing to attention. He took his hand from Dawn's pussy, letting her nether lips come together and close once more, moving his hand back to her rump's left cheek. He pulled on her cheek and spread her once more, gazing at her little entrance. For a moment he just looked along her lovely cheeks, thinking to himself. She looked so great, he loved how her ass looked and felt, it was so enticing. Kid suddenly thought back to when Dawn played around with him with her bosom, when she gave him a tittyfuck. He stared at her ass for a few moments before thinking "...Could I do the same thing with Dawn's butt?...Her cheeks are so big and warm, and it looks like I could just put my dick between them..." He slowly moved her cheeks up and down slightly, smiling as he thought "...And they sort of move around like her boobs...Definitely not as much as her boobs, but still pretty close. Yeah...I could at least try it...Would she feel it?...I hope she doesn't wake up, or at least doesn't get too mad..."
He moved a little closer to her, straddling the backs of her thighs. He moved his hands around until his tool came down between her rump's cheeks, Kid bringing the full length of himself down against her. He slowly brought her cheeks back together, letting the warm loveliness wrap around his pulsating member. He instantly felt Dawn let out a light tremble, a bit more blush entering her cheeks then. She was blushing about as much as he was, but Kid knew he was only blushing at about average strength, so he knew Dawn couldn't have been blushing much stronger than that. The feeling of Dawn's ample ass cheeks resting down around his tool was exquisite, but the knowledge that he was doing it all while she was asleep, without her permission, it added a sort of dangerous element to what he was doing, it made it more exciting. He tried moving her cheeks around him like Dawn had done with her breasts before, but he quickly found out that doing so was just a little more work than he wanted it to be. It felt nice, but it didn't exactly raise a fire in him.
Moving her cheeks around made him worried that he'd wake her up, as well. He eventually decided to just hold her cheeks together and lightly thrust, popping his tool back and forth between her lovely cheeks. Those actions did raise a fire of desire inside him, Kid holding back a gentle sigh as he kept up his actions. Even if things were dry, her skin was so lovely and soft, warm, tingling pleasure began to rise up inside him as her skin rubbed against his. Kid let out a gentle groan as he began to move faster, unable to stop himself from doing either action. His tool rock hard and quickly passing between her cheeks, he kept going for a few minutes, speeding up every now and then. Thrusting into her bum passionately, he felt his climax come over him, Kid holding back a moan. Dawn's eyelids fluttered, unknown to Kid. She blushed heavily at the sensation going through her as she slowly drifted into wakefulness, Dawn thinking she might've been having some sort of wet dream at first. She had had dreams like that before, dreams that were highly sexual in nature. She usually only had them whenever she hadn't had sex in a while however, and she remembered having sex with Kid just the night before, so she was a little confused at first.
She also knew herself to be waking slightly, so maybe her mind was still trying to dream, that's why everything seemed so real? She opened her eyes a crack, letting out a soft mumble, still feeling the sensation continue. She was aroused, her pussy seeping a bit of fluid. Something was moving back and forth along her ass, going between her cheeks. She could feel someone sitting on her thighs slightly, hands pushing into her rump. Due to her position, she barely had to turn her head to see what was going on behind herself. To her surprise, Kid was over her backside, hotdogging her, thrusting between the cheeks of her backside. He had his eyes closed, his face full of blush. Dawn blushed intensely for a moment. Couldn't he wait for her to wake up? Suddenly, she heard Kid stifle a moan, a hot liquidy sensation appearing between her cheeks. She blushed even more intensely when she realized that he was cumming, Kid thrusting between her cheeks still, quickly spreading his cum along her. She was so flattered and amazed at the same time, a broad smile coming to her face.
She had hotdogged a few guys before, but not very much; it wasn't a sexual act she knew any men to cum from, it was more like a form of foreplay, she had never continued it through to an orgasm before. She would do it for maybe a minute before true penetrative sex took over, but that's it. Kid, on the other hand, had enjoyed it so much he had cum! He panted for a few seconds as he slowed to a stop, opening his eyes, looking up to her face, perhaps to check if he had woken her up. His eyes went wide when he saw her looking back at him, Kid freezing in place. Dawn laughed gently, grinning afterwards, affectionately asking "What, you couldn't wait for me to get up, you had to have some fun right away?" Kid relaxed slightly, seeing that Dawn wasn't angry or upset. He shook his head slightly, saying "I, um...I was just looking at you, and you looked so sexy, I...I don't know...I couldn't stop myself..." He blushed deeply, avoiding her eyes with shame. "...I was just going to touch you, at first...But then...I got an idea...And...Here we are..."
Dawn practically purred, wagging her hips left and right for a moment before saying "Well, I'm flattered you like my ass so much...But now I really need a bath, and so do you. Remember when I said that the next time I took a bath, I'd want you to take it with me? Well, today's the day." Kid said "Are we going to get the water from the Highwayman?" Dawn said "Yep...There's enough there for a bath. But it'd be a shame to put all that water to waste with just a bath, so I think I'm gonna go out and try to find a water recycler and purifier on sale. The things can be pretty damn expensive, but I've got the caps...And while I'm out, I need to get more food, too." Kid slowly got back from Dawn, his tool beginning to soften. "Alright...Can I come with you?" He asked. Dawn smiled as she turned over, saying "Sure, if you want. But first..." She sat up, smiling as she grabbed him by his arms. She pulled him to the side, bringing him to his back on the bed. She grinned as she stayed on her knees by his right side, placing her right hand on his stomach, bringing her left hand to his tool. She pointed his soft tool upwards, bringing her head down, closing her eyes.
Kid moaned out and shut his eyes as he felt Dawn's tongue run along him, Dawn licking along the tip of his tool. It barely took a few seconds for his tool to shoot back into arousal, beginning to stand tall and proud once more. Coated lightly in his cum, it gave a twitch or two as Dawn pointed it upwards, holding him at his base with her index finger and thumb. She licked her lips for a moment to make them extra moist, pressing a kiss to the head of his member before slipping him into her mouth, quickly going deep on him. He moaned out in surprise, Dawn quickly pushing him as deep as he could go into her mouth, working her tongue skilfully. She closed her eyes and raised her right hand to the right side of her head, smoothing some of her hair behind her ear, holding it there as she began to bob her head up and down. Sucking along Kid fiercely, she licked up the cum covering him, swallowing to the best of her ability while having something big and hard slightly pushed into her throat.
Kid gripped the bed sheets in ecstasy, his head feeling light as Dawn went to town. Quickly raising and lowering her head, her lips squeezed tightly around him, slickly running along his skin. The heat of her mouth as well as the heat of her breath made things so wonderful, so erotic, Kid could barely handle it all. Every once in a while, Dawn would pull back until her lips surrounded the head of his tool. Dawn would quickly move her head back and forth, just massaging her moist lips along the tip of his cock, sending sparks along Kid's nerves. Every time she did that, Kid would moan out, Dawn blushing and smiling every time she heard him voice how he felt. She went deep on him some more, feeling his hot and hard member go back and forth inside her mouth, a sense of fulfilment coursing through Dawn at the sensation. She stopped holding him with her left hand, moving down to his balls, playing with his orbs a little. Kid trembled in reaction, but he didn't stop her. His member growing as hard as rock after just a minute and a half of sucking, Dawn figured he'd be cumming soon. As she had been hungrily feasting along the entire length of his tool, she knew she didn't have to do anything else like stroke along his length, she could just keep on doing what she was doing and his finish would be pleasurable enough.
She kept on going, quickly bobbing her head, working her tongue as well as she could. After going at him for about two minutes total, Kid couldn't hold on anymore. His eyes shut with his entire face red, his body tensed as it prepared to enter into a second orgasm. Kid said nothing, simply moaning a few times, his body trembling for a moment before he abruptly blew his load in Dawn's mouth. Dawn quickly began to slow down her movements, but she never truly ceased her movements, still using her lips and tongue to slowly milk Kid. She moaned out around him, smiling and blushing deeply as she lapped her tongue along him, tasting the gift he had given her. She kept her lips tight around his slick member as she pulled her head back, not wanting to spill a single drop of his seed. When his tool had fallen from her lips, she swallowed, downing his cum. She released his balls and pointed him upwards once more, hearing Kid sigh with contentment as she flicked the tip of her tongue along him a few times. She grinned and looked over to him, not even asking him if he had enjoyed what she had done; she knew he had.
She gave him an affectionate pat on his stomach, saying "Whenever you're ready, could you grab all the water from the Highwayman and bring it into the bathroom?" Kid was panting softly, but he still said "Okay..." Dawn smiled and got up, sitting on the edge of the bed. She was aching between her thighs, she wanted a good fucking and she wanted it as soon as possible. She wasn't sure if Kid could go a third time so soon though, and besides, she felt kind of sticky down there. She decided to wash up just a little before having sex with Kid, thinking that she'd have to make that one time count, as Kid probably wouldn't have the energy for a fourth time, even if she did all the work. After a few more seconds, Kid got up, coming closer to Dawn's backside.
He sat down beside her on the edge of the bed, surprising her with a passionate kiss, Kid pushing his hand down between her thighs. Dawn gasped slightly, kissing him back, blushing furiously as he rapidly worked his hand along her pussy, spreading her new fluid along her skin. She grabbed his wrist, pulling back from his kiss, smiling naughtily. She teasingly said "Nuh-uh, not until I've had a second to clean up! We can mess around some more in the bath, alright?" Kid pouted for a moment before jumping up from the bed, grabbing his boxers and jeans, pulling them on. He ran from the room, Dawn hearing him rush down the stairs quickly, heading outside and to the Highwayman. Dawn blushed and chuckled at his enthusiasm, smiling happily.
Just a minute or so later, they had drained every single water bottle from the Highwayman into the bathtub on the main floor's bathroom, filling the bathtub up with the water. Dawn had slipped downstairs while Libitina had been distracted, taking her black armour and Gauss rifle with her. Kid got naked again once the bathtub was filled up, the both of them getting into the tub together, the door to the bathroom already closed and locked. Sitting across from one another, they helped one another wash up, Dawn running her hands down along his member, Kid rubbing his hands along her massive breasts. Her nipples were hard, Dawn still being aroused, and Kid was blushing as he flicked his fingers across her hard nubs. Dawn was practically stroking along his member as she cleaned him, Kid quickly becoming hard once more. Dawn flipped over and got on her hands and knees, the lukewarm water in the tub waving around slightly, but not spilling over the sides of the tub. Kid ran his left hand up between Dawn's wet thighs, coming to her lovely, hot pussy, rubbing along her and cleansing her.
After a few seconds, he rubbed his hand up over her wondrous backside, rubbing between her cheeks as well, cleansing her of anything left over from his previous sexual act. They washed along one another's backs, getting their hair wet and clean, as well. Eventually, they found themselves facing one another again, gazing into one another's eyes. They came closer, closing their eyes, holding hands in the water as they kissed one another lovingly. They kissed one another a few times before Dawn pushed her tongue out and against Kid's lips, Kid parting his lips and letting her into his mouth. They played with one another's tongues for several seconds, Dawn darting her tongue around his, Kid eventually nabbing her tongue and trapping it under his, Dawn slowly snaking her tongue against him. Eventually, she pulled back, a big smile on the both of their faces. She leaned back in the bathtub, sitting back, raising up her legs. Her legs dripping with water, she spread her legs until they were over the sides of the bathtub, her loins fully exposed under the water. Kid came closer to her, smiling more as his hard tool found the hot and wet lips of her pussy, Kid pushing against her.
The head of his member parted her lips and found the tight entrance to her depths, Kid slowly spearing into her depths, enjoying the sensation immensely. Dawn moaned out softly as he slowly pushed into her insides, stretching her clenching canal around his cock. Kid was on his knees between her spread legs, his hands on her hips as he slowly began to thrust back and forth. Dawn's chest gave a gentle jiggle with every one of his inwards thrusts, the water offering some resistance to his hips, but Kid managed nonetheless. Her pussy was so tight and warm, she was so wet, Kid could tell that she had been dying to have him inside her. They were both blushing intensely, gazing up into one another's eyes. The missionary position was a favourite of Kid's, it felt so sensual and intimate, it felt perfect. The two gazed into one another's eyes for a few seconds before Kid leaned down closer to her, the two of them closing their eyes and locking lips once more. Kid began to speed up his movements, the water beginning to lightly slosh around. They began to play with each other's tongues once more, Dawn reaching a hand down to her pussy, beginning to play with her clit.
Kid kept thrusting into her for about five minutes, speeding up every minute or so, not being as sensitive as before due to already having had two orgasms. Dawn was coming close to her orgasm, the two of them finally ending their kissing, Dawn letting out a moan of desire. "Kid...Ooooh!..." She breathed out erotically. Kid's climax flew over him, a moan coming from him as he deeply plunged his tool back and forth into her gripping depths. A few seconds passed, Kid's orgasm coming to him, Kid just groaning out "N-Now!..." Dawn rubbed at herself furiously, her orgasm ripping through her, Dawn's body convulsing for a moment before she attempted to stifle a cry, doing a fairly decent job, but her orgasmic shriek still managed to partially sound out between her lips. Kid rammed his tool as deep as he could go into Dawn, staying still as he shot into her. He couldn't feel Dawn squirt her fluids against him in the water, but he knew that she had, in fact, had an orgasm; aside from her cry, he had felt the water between the two of them suddenly grow much warmer, and he knew her spasming pussy must've squirted at least a little. Dawn gave a heavy sigh as Kid rested against her, the both of them panting to differing degrees.
They rested for a few more seconds before they began to kiss once more, kissing softer this time, affectionately pressing their lips together as they felt the other's heartbeat through their connected areas. After another few seconds, they parted, washing each other up once more before getting out of the tub. They dried each other up with a towel, Dawn combing Kid's hair before drying her hair with the towel. She brushed her hair for a minute before getting dressed, pulling on her red thong and bra, pulling on her protective black pants a moment later. She pulled on her boots, lacing them up before slipping on her black leather gloves, pulling on her vest a moment later. Kid zipped the vest up for her before she grabbed her trenchcoat and helmet, holding them up in her left arm, her Gauss rifle in her right. "I suppose you're expecting trouble?" Kid asked, having thought she'd wear her more normal clothes for a bit longer than just one evening. Dawn smiled slightly and said "Can't wear normal clothes all the time, Kid...Especially not when I might be on the receiving end of some lead at some point in the day.
Rister isn't safe for me right now, not until I find the fucker that put that hit squad on me. When we're safe and alone, then I can put on my normal clothes." They opened up the bathroom door then, walking outside, Dawn feeling a gloved hand through her damp hair for a moment, shaking it up slightly. They headed for the front door, Kid spotting Libitina to be seated at the nearby kitchen table, blushing heavily. Kid said "We're just going out to get some water and food, okay, Libby?" Dawn glanced over, opening the front door, seeing Libitina nod while blushing. The two walked outside, Dawn grinning as she said "Think she heard us?" Kid shrugged, blushing lightly, saying "Maybe." Dawn chuckled softly, the two of them getting into the Highwayman. An electronic whine came from the car for a moment as Dawn turned her key in the ignition, a loud rumble coming from under the hood a moment later as the car burst into life.
A few minutes later and the two were driving down a road in Rister, the radio softly playing a classical song. Kid, lacking a better thing to do, looked to the glove box of the Highwayman, eyeing it curiously. After hardly a few seconds, his curiosity got the better of him. He didn't really know what was inside that glove box, but hadn't ever really looked inside it, but he wanted to then and there. He opened the glove box, Dawn glancing over through the corners of her eyes for a second before looking back out to the road. Kid looked around inside the glove box, quickly spotting a book, leather and without details, like his own. Pulling out, he opened it up, quickly spotting just about every page to have writing on it. Curious, he went to the first page, looking to the writing there.
"Blackjack said I should write down my thoughts and feelings in this book, to keep it like a sort of diary. I told him his idea was lame, but whatever, I'll give it a shot. We raided some people today, we'll eat nicely tonight. That's about it, nothing really special to write about. This idea's so stupid, but...Who knows, maybe Blackjack's on to something. I'll write some more crap tomorrow. September of 2238, journal of Ace, raider of the wastes."
Kid's brow furrowed, his eyes widening slightly. "Dawn, this writing, it's Ace's!" He said with surprise. He looked over to her, saying "She must've kept a journal like I do!" Dawn softly said "Hmm...Well, give it a read. Maybe it'll be interesting?" Kid kept on reading as Dawn drove around, even as she stopped the car at her first destination, a place to buy food. Kid kept on reading Ace's journal, learning quite a bit about what her life had been life. It didn't seem like things were easy very often, but Ace went on with her life, going through the trials and tribulations of every wasteland denizen. Dawn refilled any empty bags in the Highwayman with food and drinks, all the items costing her a heavy lump of caps, but Dawn still had a good two-thirds of her caps left. She went around driving and asking about a water purifier then, Kid still reading about Ace's life. He hardly even noticed when Dawn rested a big purifier machine in the backseat of the Highwayman. The machine had cost her a pretty big chunk of money, Dawn having less than half her caps left over. The two began to drive home, Kid reaching the middle of the book by then.
The two headed inside, Kid dropping off Ace's book before helping Dawn bring the purifier into the bathroom. The purifier looked like a big square of metal with a few tubes sticking out from one side, several buttons and switches on the front of it. Dawn set it up on a corner of the bathtub, the tubes sticking down into the tub's cloudy water. She flipped a switch on it, the machine letting out a whirring sound before it slowly began to suck in some of the tub's water. The two left then, Dawn bringing in some of the food from the Highwayman along with the rest of her own personal gear, grabbing her helmet, trenchcoat, and rifle. Bringing in some good, she started cooking in the kitchen, Kid sitting in the living room and continuing to read Ace's book. Libitina came and sat beside him at one point, relaxing with him quietly. Eventually, Ace began to speak about Kid and Dawn. He was sad to see that Ace had begun to consider the two true friends before Dawn knocked her out. That's when Ace began to be consumed by bitterness. Kid read the final entry just before Dawn called them over for lunch.
"I'm so close, Dawn can't be far. When I track her down, I'll finish her off, and then I can finally take a breather and get back to my life. Maybe I could stick around with Kid after?...No...He seems close to Dawn, he'll probably be pissed with me when I kill her. Oh well. I can't help it, I have to do what I have to do. She's got it coming. July 2246, journal of Ace, raider of the wastes."
Kid was pleased to have some idea towards the date. It had been a few months since the situation with Dawn and Ace, but at least he knew the year now. It was some time in the year 2246. Libitina looked over to his face, smiling. "Finally done with that book?" She asked. Kid looked over to her, closing it, saying "Yeah, heh...Just a little memento from an old friend." Dawn suddenly called them over for dinner, the two of them getting up and heading over, sitting down and eating quickly. Just as they were finishing up their food, a rapid knocking came at the front door of the house. Everyone looked over with surprise. Dawn grabbed her rifle, getting up and approaching the door. Standing off to the side of the doorway, she called out "Who is it?" A voice quickly replied to her. "Dawn, it's Freddy, I'm a messenger of Julian!" Dawn curiously called out "What's the message?" The man named Freddy called back "He said he has news on the person that called the hit on you!" Dawn opened the door then, looking to the man beyond. He was dressed in leather armour, his brown hair swept back.
"He wants to see you at his place as soon as possible." Dawn nodded. "I'll be right there." She looked over her shoulder to Kid and Libitina, walking over and grabbing her trenchcoat, pulling it on while saying "Just stay here, alright? I might need to do some fighting, and I can't have you guys getting hurt. I'll be fine." Kid got up and rushed over to her, Dawn reaching her arms out to him, the two of them hugging tightly. "Be careful, okay?" Kid said, looking up to her face. Dawn leaned over closer to him, pressing a kiss to his lips, murmuring "I'll be careful...I promise..." The two kissed once more before releasing one another, the messenger at the door already gone. Dawn pulled on her helmet and shouldered her rifle, then walking outside and headed to the Highwayman, getting inside, turning it on once more. She began to drive away, Kid getting inside the safehouse once more, closing the door behind himself.
Dawn drove on to Julian's manor, pulling up in front of it, parking the Highwayman, slipping the key into a pocket on her pants. She got out and walked up to Julian's door, giving it a knock. A few seconds later, the door opened, Julian standing there. He looked left and right quickly before beckoning for Dawn to come inside. She stepped through the doorway, Julian quickly closing the door behind her. "You nervous?" Dawn asked, watching as Julian quickly walked deeper into his home. "A little. I found out who put the hit out on you." "So I heard." Dawn said, following after him. He took a seat on a couch in the front room, sighing as he did so. Dawn took a seat on a couch across from him, pulling off her helmet and resting it in her lap. He looked to Dawn seriously for a moment before asking "Dawn, do you know a "Horus Franz"?" Dawn's eyes widened slightly. "It was Horus? Horus put the hit out on me?" She asked quickly. Julian nodded. Dawn looked off to the side for a moment, anger flashing through her. "That son of a bitch, I should've dusted him when I had the chance!" She muttered.
Julian looked to Dawn worriedly. "I know where he is. He stayed in Rister and he's waiting for his assassins to come back to him to report, but since it's been so long, he knows something's up. He won't be staying in Rister much longer. I think he might be scared of you, Dawn." Dawn angrily said "He'd damn well better be. Where is he? I'll take care of the little shit right now, before he can get away." Julian said "He's staying in a back room at the pub on the east end. You know the place?" Dawn nodded. "Yeah, I know it." Julian worriedly raised a hand and said "I'd be careful if I were you Dawn, I heard he's got a lot of bodyguards." Dawn grimly said "They won't stop me." Julian watched for a moment as Dawn stood up and pulled on her helmet, Julian walking over, asking "What's the history with you two, anyway?"
Dawn said "We were on a job together a while back. We were going to rob this bank that was set up in a little shithole town to the north of here. It was me, him, his girl Star, and a ghoul by the name of Jerky-Skin Steve. The robbery went fine until some of the local boys decided they'd play hero, they popped Star a few times and put her down. By then, we had all been making our getaway, so Star fell with her share of the loot. Horus wanted to go back for her, but I told him we couldn't, that we were already running low on ammo and couldn't go up against the group coming after us. Hell, just telling him that nearly cost Steve his life. Star was still alive as we started to run again, but just before she was out of our sight, we saw her take a bullet to the back of the head, execution style." Dawn shook her head with annoyance. "Horus lost it when we got away. He blamed me for Star dying, saying he wanted to kill me. Jerky-Skin Steve stood up for me, and he took a bullet from Horus for that, but that ghoul was a tough bastard, he was okay. I shot Horus a few times and I was about to finish him off when the boys from the bank came running, they had heard the shots. I would've finished him off, but Steve kept telling me we needed to get moving, and I just left Horus for dead. I suppose the boys from the bank didn't finish him off, or maybe he crawled away and hid."
She shook her head again. "Doesn't matter. I'll make sure he stays down this time. I'm going out to get a little something before I head over to the pub. Thanks for the info. If you can find anything on Dominique, I'd appreciate it." Julian nodded, but he watched her with worry, seeing her leave. Dawn was fuming inside as she headed for the Highwayman. "Horus, that stupid motherfucker, he put a hit squad on my ass? Coward didn't have the guts to try and take me out himself, had to hide behind a few hitmen. Pathetic." She got in the vehicle, starting it up, speeding down the road in front of her. She had a destination in mind, a gun store not far from there. After a few minutes, she reached the gun shop, stopping the Highwayman in front of it. She grabbed her sack of caps from the backseat, also grabbing her Gauss rifle, getting out of the car and approaching the store's front door. Stepping inside, the smell of gun oil wafted past her. The inside of the store was bare except for a nearby counter, the wall behind the counter covered in guns, tools and ammo covering the counter. A man dressed in an old green suit of military fatigues stood behind the counter, looking at Dawn keenly.
Dawn laid her sack of caps down on the counter, bringing her Gauss rifle down on the counter, too. She raised her hands to her head, pulling off her helmet, resting it down on the counter, as well. She shook her head for a moment, feeling her hair swing slightly. "You do weapon mods?" She asked. The man raised an eyebrow, giving her a curt nod. Dawn reached into a pocket on her trenchcoat, pulling out her Beretta. She held it by the barrel, reaching it out to the man handle-first. "What could you do with this?" She asked. The man took the Beretta, looking it over. His hair graying all over, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes scanning along the pistol. "Good condition. Hmmm..." Dawn said "Money's not a worry. Just tell me everything you could do with it." The man thought for a moment before saying "I could hook up a silencer to the thing. Maybe give it an extended clip. A scope is always possible, but that'd require a little grip for your other hand, you know, for added stability. With some time, I could give it full-auto fire, but that would really need a stock to help control the recoil.
A laser dot sight is possible, but that's my most expensive upgrade, and I don't know if you'd have enough caps for that, lady. Besides, I usually only do that for privileged clientele." Dawn said "I don't have all day. How long would the silencer and extended clip take?" The man shrugged. "Barely a minute or two." He said. Dawn said "Alright, let's do that. One more thing, though. Would it be possible to set up a scope with my Gauss rifle?" The man rested her Beretta down, saying "It's possible, but tricky. Gauss rifles were never meant for modification, ya see. It'd take me a few hours to get it right. Dawn said "Well, I don't have that long, so let's just customize the Beretta." The man nodded, Dawn placing her hands on her hips as the man began to fiddle with her pistol. He took a metal tube of sorts, slightly longer than her middle finger, and twisted it on to the end of the Beretta's barrel. Then he ejected the magazine from the Beretta, quickly popping out the bullets within. He pulled out an extended clip from underneath the counter, quickly pushing the bullets from the original clip into it.
He filled the rest of the clip up with his own bullets before sliding it into the Beretta, pulling back the slide and loading the first bullet into it. It was easy to see that the clip was extended, as a thin black bar now stuck out from the bottom of the pistol's grip. The Beretta's original clip only held fifteen bullets, but this extended clip held ten more bullets, the clip holding twenty-five rounds. Dawn knew she wouldn't be able to just push the pistol into a pocket on her jacket anymore, as it was too big now. The man told her what the upgrades had cost, Dawn reaching into her sack, pulling out two handfuls of caps. The man handed her her change, Dawn dropping it into the sack. She pulled on her helmet again, grabbing her Gauss rifle, shouldering it. She grabbed the Beretta and her old clip, slipping the empty clip into a pocket on her jacket. She grabbed her sack of caps, bidding the man farewell before heading off to the still-running Highwayman. She tossed her bag of caps into the backseat, getting into the driver's seat a moment later, seeing several people on a nearby sidewalk to be staring enviously at her vehicle.
Dawn rested her rifle in the passenger's side seat, letting her modified Beretta sit in her lap, over her right thigh. She began to drive off then, heading for Rister's east side. The east side of Rister was notoriously seedy, where gangs ran rampant and crime was even higher than usual. The pub that Julian had mentioned was the only pub in Rister, so even if he hadn't mentioned the east side, she would've known where he was talking about. The place was routinely filled with some of the toughest badasses in Rister, ranging from murderous raiders taking a break from their raids all the way to super mutants. In the back room was a staircase that went up to the second floor, the second floor acting as a sort of motel. Dawn was hoping she could sneak in and get to the second floor without a problem, using her silenced Beretta whenever necessary, and her Gauss rifle in case her cover was blown. Horus wanted her dead? He'd get his chance to do it himself, but Dawn wouldn't make it easy on him.
She was gunning for him, and no amount of bodyguards would keep him safe forever.
