closed RP with praskoviyachekov; The Purge AU
Muse A has never enjoyed the night of The Purge, while Muse B on the other hand has enjoyed the night of The Purge every year when it rolls around. On the night of The Purge Muse A is out when the announcement rolls out that The Purge has begun. While Muse A tries to get home as quick as they can, they get caught up in Muse B’s crossfire. Muse B sees Muse A panicking in the middle of the street and decides to help save them —— in return Muse B asks Muse A to help them in The Purge.
Zeva had never enjoyed the Purge and the one time she did didn't count, so when the announcement that The Purge had started started, Zeva nearly had a heart attack. "No. No no no no." She muttered, gripping her bag to her shoulder tightly. "Not now! Please don't let it be now! NO!" Zeva cried, walking faster and keeping her head down. She felt her jacket pocket for the gun she kept on herself, just in case cause you never know, and felt reassured by the bulge.
"AHHH!" A shout came from a block behind her and Zeva shrieked and started running faster, trying to get home as fast as possible. Her parents were well off and had a large house that they protected with expensive and good quality security systems that worked. Not looking where she was going, Zeva turned the corner and a bullet shot past her face, missing her by less than a foot. A scream tore through her throat and pulled out the gun.
Her scream attracted the attention of the shooters and Zeva quickly pulled out the strangely elegant mask her parents had her get. She slipped it over her face and held tight to her gun, tears streaming down her face under the mask. Why me? Why now? Why here? She thought, hoping tonight wouldn't be her last, though that was very likely.
