Vault 81
From Create Your Own Story
As you emerge from the dark elevator of Vault 81, you wonder if Vault 111 could have become a home for you, your family. The thought sobers you, but you quickly regain your cheerful attitude as Austin rushes along the catwalk. When he sees you he stops, and smiles, and you smile back. Since saving his life, you had gained a small connection with the boy. He ran up, panting. "Hey, Nate! It's been a while!" After talking over random things for a few minutes he exclaims. "Oh, I almost forgot! Ms. Katy wanted to see you!" Intrigued, you let him guide you into the living areas, to a room you had yet been in.
Inside was Katy...wrapped in a towel, her hair wet. She was humming to herself, turned away. You hadn't had much interaction with Katy, and this was the first time you had honestly paid her much attention. You notice her dark, tanned legs, smooth, probably some of the youngest you'd encountered. They ran up to a rather interesting section covered by a towel. Hey dark wet hair hung aroud her neck. Austin gasped and let out a slight chuckle. Katy turned, giving you a profile view of her soft face, and decent sized chest, barely enclosed in the towel. Upon seeing you, she gasped and grabbed the towel close. "Austin! Nate! Austin, get out!" Austin, being a 12 year old, was mildly interested in seeing Katy like this, but knew when to fold, and ran off. Surprisingly, Katy smiled at you, somewhat nervously. "I, uh, suppose Austin told you I wanted to talk. Well, he chose a poor time, I just got out of the shower. If you'll let me change..." You stepped outside and returned a minute later, Katy now donned in a robe, hair still wet. She sat on the bed, and you sat on the chair in the room.
"What can I help you with, Katy?"
"Well, Nate, as you know, I run the school, and my curriculum has been provided mostly by Vault-Tec. One of the next topics is real experience. Since I have been in the Vault my whole life, as we all pretty much have, I'd like the kids to hear some of your stories, if you'd be willing."
"Sure, I'd love to help! I don't have a room here yet, and all of them are full, so the closest place where I could stay the night would be Hangman's Alley, an hour and a half walk assuming something isn't out to kill me. I should be able to be here by 11 int he morning." Katy bit her lip, something you found cute.
"Class starts at 8...I really need you here earlier. Why don't you just spend the night in my room?" You are surprised, but agree. You get some extra blankets and form a sleeping bag of sorts, trying to get comfortable on the hard floor. Katy obviously saw you struggle as she was in bed. "Nate, just get in bed with me. We'll make it work out, it'll be more comfortable for you, and I'll rest better." You were reluctant, but she gave you a look meaning do-this-or-die, so you climbed in beside her. The bed, really not super big for ONE person, was cramped with two. Her body was pressed against yours, and as she fell asleep her breathing moved with you.
