She caught up with him. walking at his side. "Hey. Was your dream about me leaving you behind? Because trust me, you're not getting rid of me anytime soon."

Moby smiled. "I don't remember. But that's good to know. I'd hate for you to leave."

"You'd better," she joked, punching him lightly on the arm. "Or I'd feel pretty neglected here."

He laughed lightly. "I mean it though." He turned to face forward again after nearly running into a tree. "I'm glad I ran into you that day," Moby told her as the fence came into view.

"So am I," she murmured, beginning the climb over the chicken wire. "I'm really glad that you didn't just run away when I talked to you. Who knows where I'd have ended up by now?"

Moby shrugged. "I was honestly really surprised I didn't run away. I usually don't do well with people." He thought about it for a moment. "I dunno. Something about you just made you seem so trustworthy."

"Whatever it was, we may just have impeded a much worse fate for the both of us." Viola hopped down on the other side.

"Let's hope not, anyway." Moby followed, studying the houses that were stationed at the end of a dusty path made muddy by last night's rain. "Well, we're here."

"It... Looks abandoned. Do you think there's even anyone living here?"

"There's got to be somebody. Some of the houses look too well taken care of." Moby started across the grass cautiously, avoiding the path and the mud.

"How does someone think about mowing their lawn at a time like this?" Viola stared out, eyes narrowed as she noted the well-groomed grasses and shrubs. "I don't see any herb gardens... which is good for us because we can trade them some, but bad because we can't trade for them."

"We can probably find some herbs in the forest if you mean the medicine kind. And anyway, they'll probably have tools, which might end up being more important to us," Moby said as he walked across the field, keeping a cautious eye on the houses' doors.

"Either way, it looks too well-kept to have been overrun by gangs. Most other places are completely looted. Either they haven;t gotten here yet, or the people here must have some good defenses."

"I'm willing to say both." As they got closer, he glanced around what appeared to be Main Street, or something of the sort. Both houses and a few small shops lined it, but nobody appeared to be present. Either they were all hiding from something, or it was ghosts that kept the town neat.

"We can't appear dangerous," she said quietly. "Make sure your shoulders are relaxed. And you keep your hands where they can be seen. I don't want lead in my skull anytime soon."

Moby nodded. "I've had enough experience on the wrong end of a gun," he murmured, shrinking himself down so that he was even smaller than usual.

Viola paused, studying him out of the corner of her eye. He's told me so much, but I still know so little about his past...

As they continued down the road, Moby glanced defensively at the houses, which all looked to be shut up tight. "There has to be someone here," he muttered to himself. "It just makes no sense." Whatever people were hiding from (if that indeed was the case), it must be something beyond dangerous.

Suddenly, from only a few streets away, the sound of a motorcycle snarling to life echoed across the seemingly abandoned neighborhood. The color drained from Viola's face as she pushed them into a large bush to hide.

"What—" Moby didn't have time to finish before he saw the reason they were now surrounded by leaves and branches. An all too familiar face belonged to the person on the motorbike, and if it weren't for his fear, Moby would've taken to weeping uncontrollably. He thought he'd left that city and his past behind years ago, but now it was just coming back to haunt him. "I-it's him," Moby whispered, voice shaking. "They're not supposed to be here."
