Chapter 1
Ander's PoV
The sound of gunshots fill my ears. Bang. The sound of guns wakes me from my light slumber. Bang. I need to see whats going on. Bang. I grab my Atlas-Issued Desert Eagle and I grab some cartridges. Bang. I hope I won't have to use this. The crisp sound of the gun breaks the silent night. Bang. It only sounds like one person though. The guy sounds like he has stopped for a bit. I have moved closer because I hear him reloading. Sounds like he has a sniper rifle. Man... I HATE Sniper Rifles. They're just so annoying. They can hit you from a mile away. So I am not a fan of them. Especially if they're getting fired at me. Bang. He reloaded that cartridge fast or I have sat here for a while thinking to myself. I see he's shooting some Grimm. That's good. We need to take out the threat of Grimm for good.
Bang. He fired another shot. My ears have a slight ringing noise in them. The bullets are loud. I hope I don't lose my ability to hear. I go a little closer. Bang. I see him now. He is about 6"2 or 6"3. He is wearing military fatigues and some aviator sunglasses for no reason. It's night so the glasses do nothing to help him. Bang. Ouch! The ringing in my ears is so loud I can't hear that much. I don't know how he's dealing with the noise. But, he did take down the Grimm with pinpoint accuracy so I'm happy about that. I start thinking if I should confront this guy. I decide that I should. Well, here goes nothing. "Howdy! I am Ander Black what is your na..." But as right as I ask this guy's name he points his rifle right at me.
I get a good look at it. A L96A1 Sniper Rifle. It has Winter Camo on it. It makes sense because its basically Winter every day here. I am tensing up because any second he could kill me. He aims right behind me and fires. I hear a Grimm falling to the ground. He didn't want to kill me, he just wanted to kill the Grimm. "My name is Clance Redley. I have seen you around camp. But we have never met. So you're Ander?" Says the man. "Yea, I was just wondering why I heard gunsho..." He fired another bullet. It hurt my ears badly."Im Sorry, I just need to kill these STUPID monsters!" He says as he reloaded his rifle. I need a break.
I think I might leave the military next year. I hope I don't have I stay longer, but Clance is nice. I think this might be the start of a great friendship.
