Penny sipped her juice and listened intently to Christian as he talked about Death (that was a weird thought). She felt slightly bad when he said that her story had changed, along with his, but she also felt relieved in a way. She, quite literally, cheated death and it was all thanks to Christian. [color=f49ac2]"So, basically, my life is mine to live now? You and Death don't know how my story is going to unfold anymore."[/color] Penny asked for clarification. Penny knew it wasn't quite as black and white as she was picturing it, but it was the best way to wrap her mind around the information he gave her.

Penny felt excitement and happiness build up within her when Christian said he was allowed to stay. [color=f49ac2]"It doesn't matter how difficult life will be. I'm alive and you're here with me,"[/color] Penny made eye contact and gave him a warm, sweet smile. [color=f49ac2]"I don't know what I'd do without you, Christian. You've been a really good friend, and quite frankly... the one consistent [i]good[/i] person in my life."[/color] Penny didn't want to think how sad that statement was and could be to other people, but it was true. 

[color=f49ac2]"A part of me is interested to know what my story could have been, but it doesn't really matter now."[/color] Penny finished her apple juice and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth before bed. When she got back to the room, the duvet on her bed was soaked from where her hair dripped, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She climbed under the covers of her bed and fluffed the pillows behind her so she could lay back, but be propped up. [color=f49ac2]"Luckily we aren't in a rush tomorrow. We just have to take the car back to the dealership and then the truck to the trailer dealer. He said he'll hold it till I get there. We'll hook it up and then be on our way."[/color]

Penny turned to look at Christian once again. [color=f49ac2]"What's our next move after that? How do I go about training and aquiring weapons? Should I keep a closer eye on the news?"[/color]
