Day Break
Rambles jumped out of her window, after a fight with her impossible mother. They had been fighting about the recent divorce, and frankly, they didn't see eye to eye.
Rambles was a tall female, about 5'7 and extremely skinny from neglect. Her bright red hair, down to her ears and flowing in her face, always seemed to casts stares at her.
But there where other reasons she was stared at....her, unique clothing: A skin-tight tank top with no straps, which was black and had numerous yellow black-widow symbols on it. Below that were light gray cargo shorts with a metal gear on it, just for random. And lastly, black and yellow striped  socks leading into beat up, rave shoes.  Her black, widow symbolic gloved hands helped her land as she hit the brown, dead grass. Neon bright yellow eyes scanned over the yard before she broke off into a sprint.  
It was only day break, and the sun was barely above the skyline, casting a yellow and purple glow upon the city she was leaving behind. She just kept running, small tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She was leaving everything....family, friends(if any), pets, and her life. Her right eye patch, which was black with a white 'X', stained with tears.  But she hastily smiled, fangs appearing. "At least I'm away from....her..." she mumbled, in an alto voice. Where was she heading? Even Rambles didn't know. She just kept sprinting, going where ever her legs took her.


Dawn
"Please- NO!" A girl screamed, only standing 5'0ft,  under a rusty shading of a building. A boy, a foot taller than her, was grabbing her arms, pushing her against the run down building.  The girl's long, dark brown hair was messy from resisting and fighting against her attacker, causing her neon green ribbon to slightly unwind. She wore a light gray, cut off (belly) top, bearing the radioactive symbol. On her stomach was a huge burn scar from a recent fight, and a small radioactive tattoo on her hip. "Just shut up!" the boy screamed at her, causing the girl to grip her light gray, neon green rimmed skirt with her gray, green tipped (glowing tips) gloves. Below that were her black and green  striped socks and gray boots with glowing soles. "Let me go!" she screamed again, gloves glowing brighter than ever.

This girl was trapped in The City That Never Laughs. This city was a complete wasteland of junk and just....unhealthy. It was filled with rusty, industrialized buildings and run down bridges. Only the tough lived here, and the weak died. Once you entered, you where there forever. Hence the giant wall around the quarantined city. Most of the people who were here are either runaways, lost or exiled. Kids formed gangs, going around the city and killing and stealing from new comers, along with fighting other gangs. Fights broke out all the time, wasn't a surprise here.

As soon as the sun peeked over the god-forsaken city, Ramble popped open the gate. She stepped in fearlessly, being the tough-girl who acted like a straight-up dude. To her surprise, she saw no one. The gates quickly slammed behind her, locking with a big "Chang!.  Rambles jumped a bit, but continued her pace, looking around alertly. "So this is the City That Never Laughs.....I can see why. It's a complete shit hole." she muttered, but then her blood ran cold, hearing a girl's screams, then the boy's shout. She gritted her teeth, knowing EXACTLY what that boy planned. Rambles took a 90degree turn, her soles digging into the dirt as she broke into a sprint again. Tall, hazardous buildings loomed over her, but she couldn't care less.

Early Day

"Ow! Stop! Please!" The girl wailed, eyes closed and shaking her head. The boy was gripping her skirt, but before he could go any further, a rock was whipped at his head. He whirled around, a scowl on his face. "Hey lonely bastard, why don't you back off of her?" Rambles smirked, running to the boy and gripping his FACE, weird yellow sludge exploding from her hand and down his throat.
The girl whimpered, crawling away quickly.
The boy's eyes bulged, boiling. Her throat broke through his skin, boiling also. Rambles just stared, not caring. The boy lay dead, his body not even twitching.
She quickly jogged to the girl, helping her up. "Hey,....you alright?" Rambles asked, stroking her hair a bit. The girl nodded. "I'm....I'm Pooki....thank you so much.." she sniffled. Rambles nodded. "I'm Rambles....Why are you here?"

Pooki was silent. "No one knows...No one knows why we're here..."  
This confused Rambles, but she gently took hands with Pooki and began to walk, down the lightly lighted alley ways of the sinned city.
