Abby Chapter 1 - 02
The girl was shaking, her foot tapping rapidly as she tried to calm herself. She had gotten away, again, and this was making her blood boil. How did it come to this? The city was a dark forest, full of hunters. She was prey...
She heard the hum of the antagonizing overseer drone. She turned and yelled at it. She just shouted profanities, tearing into it, blaming it for the terrible state of danger and lack of safety. It, of course, responded with cold logic and threatened the girl with fining her if she wouldn't stop yelling.
Abby was able to stop herself from exploding, she had quite the willpower and it was used to holding her tongue. It did hurt nonetheless, and she wasn't done addressing the drone. She complained to it, demanding layers of security, demanding turrets outside, countermeasures to the rising criminal activity. But, of course, the cost alone made this a hopeless cause.
"I take it your jog wasn't nice?" A voice spoke from behind the girl. She turned around and finally dropped her shoulders. Abby rushed over and gave her friend a warm hug. Shaking from anger and fear still, she could release her pent-up feelings and forget about the recent fright.
David was like a brother to her. Her late father had somewhat adopted him, even if he was 20 years old when he was brought into the family folds. When her father had died, he made David promise to protect and look after Abby.
