"It's only a business trip." He kissed her forehead before taking a few steps back. "You'll be home in no time. I'll even change the sheets."
"Riiiight." Kade simply shook her head and adjusted the camera bag on her shoulder as the train whistled a warning. "Try not to have too much fun while I'm out in the sticks."
Parting with little more than a backwards wave, the photographer marched off to find her seat, boarding a mostly empty cabin with a welcoming of quiet grumbles from fellow passengers. With any luck, she could sleep most of the way, and be at her destination within the next day. Of course, life had never been so simple, and six hours into her on again off again nap, something happened. At first, the screech was barely noticed. A shrill and startling whine that earned a shaken chuckle to show she wasn't frightened. When the mystery sound turned into a crunch, Kade's face whitened while the rest of the passenger's switched into full panic mode. Screams deafened her, accompanied by sickening batterings as bodies were flung around the open space, knocking violently into the seats on their way to the ceiling of the compartments as the derailed vehicle spun in nauseating somersaults.
Still seat belted in place, Kade groaned quietly when the movement ceased. Her waist ached where the thick binding kept her hanging upside down and at some point, something had found a way to bash her left temple. that too ached, but she was more concerned with the fluid dripping along her features. How badly was she injured? "H-hello?! HELP ME!"
Shakily, the woman fumbled to release herself from her seat, though in doing so, dropped heavily onto the flickering lights of the once ceiling. Scattered around where she crouched were various pieces of luggage and mangled bodies, many of which had been so drastically thrown about that they no longer resembled people. It was a sickening to see, but she was a photojournalist, and the death in her cabin paled in comparison to the years she had been active. Bringing a sleeve to wipe at the blood from her sight, she prodded at the various strewn items to find her bag, and once more shouldered it when it was retrieved. The smell of raw meat and warm death made her stomach turn.
Crawling away towards a fissure in the wreckage, the train seemed to have been torn in two, twisting itself apart upon impact. Again, she tried to call for other survivors, but to no avail. "Someone?! Is anyone alive?"
The cold did nothing to breach the shock Kade was in, but she had come prepared to face it. At least for short amounts of time, over the course of her week long assignment. Clinging to the strap of her camera bag, she wondered if it still worked. If, in all this chaos, she would still be able to take pictures. Maybe even pictures of this catastrophe.
"Fuck..." Sinking into the snow a few yards from the train's ruined body, Kade brought her knees to her face and rested her forehead against them. "FUCK! FUCK!"
