Chocó looked at Nova, all hope had vanished and see could not see how they were going to get out of this mess. Nova looked at Chocó, lifted her chin up and said, just a little bit of faith my friend that’s all I am asking. Sometimes you have to believe in the things you cannot yet see.  Chocó, smiled at felt a little lighter at heart. She lifted Novas head up and put it on her lap. A tear fell down on her chin. Chocó started crying “I can’t believe he did this to you, I thought we could trust him” I though he loved you Nova. Nova smiled while her teeth were red with blood, “It’s rare to meet anybody who loves you more than they love themselves.” When the choice is to live or die and the sacrifice is to kill, even the one you love it’s easy” Survival, Humans strongest instinct.

Choco looked at Nova, you think there is people like you and me out there too? Nova smiled. As long as there is faith there is hope that this world will be saved. Choco pulled out the manicular, she scanned it over Novas wound and the thin blue gel filled the deep deadly wound. Novas breath was calming down and her heat was coming back into her body. Nova took her Chocos hand” I don’t know what I would have done without you, but please promise you shoot me if you want to kill me, kind of sucks with all the blood and shivering, just saying” they both laughed.

Choco had hid behind the rocks, Nova told her to be ready. She had handed her the manicular fibroses. Choco didn’t understand what she was going to do with it, but she trusted Nova and had been sitting behind the rock when Black came back from the scout. She saw how black pushed the blade in her body and made her fall to her knees. It was unbearable and she just wanted to run out there and Kill him like the rat he was. What a coward, straight up a dirty rat. Her veins were pulsating outside her arms as she was waiting for him to disappear into the desert sand. She was on her toes now, what if Novas was already dead, what if she didn’t make it in time.  

Nova was getting back on her feet dusting the sand of her jacket. She looked like a mess but she seemed fine. Choco lifted her gun from the ground and handed it to her. Nova looked at it, loaded it and said “ well, I think we have a rodent infestation, what you say choco? “ I say time to play a little cat and mouse Nova and this time he won’t even see it coming. They looked at each other; it was an unspoken trust that was radiating in the air. Their eyes as glowing as the burning desert sun.
