We were the last people on Earth. The world ended and women survived. Only the women that were perfect for his expectations. He killed everyone that wasn't a woman. My childhood was spent in those days when the King ruled the world. He made it a living Hell. At least Klaytoni defeated him. I scraped at a branch with my pocket knife and peeked at Belanu. Belanu was the best warrior in our tribe. She was out there. A beautiful, graceful girl. Everything a warrior needed. I didn't have that. I had no breasts, unlike the other warrior teenagers who had frikkin' planets on their chests. I had the usual face, not anything special. I was really short too. Plain, old Kayinao. Julia was pretty too. Belanu rank with tan skin and beautifully shaped brown eyes. Everyone said I was the toad that walked up to the hawk. I was just waiting to be killed. I knew I would be killed at a young age. Scientist became overwelmed and created horrible monsters long before I was born. Belanu looked over at me. I looked down quickly and made my dark brown hair fall in front of my face. Belanu smirked and continued enjoying another turkey leg.
"I wish she was the one that turned into a beast," I whispered to myself.
"What was that, Kayinao?" Julia said, spitting turkey on me.
"Say it, don't spray it," I smiled. Julia was my best friend. i Had known her since training.
"Sorry, this turkey leg is really good," Julia said,"Why aren't you eating?"
"Because I'm not. Maybe you're hungry, but I'm not," I shifted on the log, my armor rattling.
"Your always hungry. Come on. I know you want one," she waved a destroyed turkey leg in front of my face.
The smell of fresh turkey came to my face, "Maybe... Just a bite?"
"Take a bite, Kayinao. I don't care," she held it right beneath my nose.
I smiled and close my eyes.
"Take the bite," she sayed in an airy voice.
I sniffed the turkey leg and bit her hand harshly.
"YOOOOOOOWWW!!!" she screamed across the whole camp.
I burst out lauhing, "Thats for trying to make me take a bite! In your face!" I pointed at her.
The whole camp looked over at us for a few seconds then started laughing.
She rubbed her hand and looked down where she dropped her turkey leg, "My turkey leg!"
"Keep it down," Master came into our tent, "Its time for bed. Belanu, you're on duty tonight with Martina and Glass."
Belanu growled. Each tribe had to keep watch. Any creatures could try to attack us during the night. Julia helped me up and we walked out of the feeding tent. I looked past the gates of our tribe's camp. I wondered what was out there?
"Come on. I'm tired and my hand hurts," she dragged me toward our tent, looking back to playfully glare at me.
We walked into our small tent. Clothes on the floor and unmade cots. I smiled at our usual uncleanly selves.
Julia slipped off her armor and her skirt. We slept in our leotards. I unbuckled my armor quickly. Taking armor off wasn't quick. It took about twenty minutes. Thats when you would probably pass out.
Julia yawned loudly and fell onto her cot. Julia's brown curls slid over her face dramatically.
"Hi there, miss beautiful," I laughed. I realized I probably looked like that destroyed turkey leg next to Julia, but I didn't care. Friendship comes first.
"Hi there," She laughed.
I slid on my blanket and listened carefully to the sounds outside. When you listened carefully, you could hear way more than the average screaming. That was like a lullaby on Earth, though. You get used to it. It's sort of like home. I listened to the killing of a unicorn and a beast snoring somewhere deep in the woods. I soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
