Day 1: Leaving

Disclaimer: I own ABSOLUTELY nothing. All belongs to Bethesda Softworks and their studio

I woke up to the sound of my friend, Amata, shaking me out of bed "Wake up, wake up! Come on you have to wake up!" she yelled, throwing my blanket off of me.

"Ugh. I'm too tired to work in the maintenance today, Amata!" I said pulling the blanket over me, again.

"It's not about that! It's about your dad! He's left the Vault!"

That got my attention "What! How? The door is sealed shut!"

"Not any more, apparently. Are you honestly saying you had no idea where you're dad went?"

"Yes, I had no idea where he went!"

"Oh I'm sorry, maybe Jonas was supposed to explain everything to you…"

" 'Maybe'? 'Was'? Why are you using him in past tense?"

"My father's guards, they just… oh gosh, they just beat and beat him and wouldn't stop!"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just go find your dad. Oh! And take this pistol I stole from my dad. I hope you won't need it but it's just in case."

"Thanks, Amata."

"No problem. I'll try to meet you at the Vault, if I don't make it go off without me." And she bolted out of my dorm.

I grabbed a baseball bat and some stuff from my medical kit and headed out. Immediately I turned a corner and, of course, there was a guard there. "There he is… Crickey more roaches!" he said. I averted my eyes from the horrifying seen as the Radroaches killed him and ate his flesh.

I crept by them and ran upstairs to the Atrium, where I saw a couple get shot to death trying to exit the vault. I ran to the guards and bashed both of their heads in. I took their armor and ammunition. And bolted up the stairs to the upper Atrium. From hearing through a door and looking in window I saw Amata being interrogated. "I won't say anything! He's my friend!"

I realized it was going down hill from there. I opened the door and killed Officer Mack, getting pushed out of the way by Amata when she was running out of the room. I ran up to the Overseer and help a gun up to his throat "I'll give you five seconds to turn yourself in, Youngman!"

"No, thanks. I'll just your keys to your office and your terminal password."

"Is there anything else I can get you?" He said in a sarcastic tone "I'll die before the security of the Vault is demolished!"

I put the gun closer to his throat and said "If you don't give me the items I will hurt Amata… bad!"

"All right, fine. Just don't hurt my daughter!" he said giving me a key to his office and his terminal password… "Amata"… of course… I could've guessed that. I ran into the Overseer's dorm where I found Amata freaking out.

I walked in and she immediately hugged me "Thank you! I don't know what my father would've done if you didn't show up!"

"No problem glad I could help." I replied

"Go to the door, I'll be there in a second." I walked into the Overseer's office and got into his terminal and clicked "Open Overseer's Secret Tunnel" and all of a sudden the floor opened and I followed the tunnel to the door. I flipped the switch and the door started to open. Amata came running in "Oh my gosh! You actually opened the door! I didn't think it was possible!"

"I couldn't have done it with your help."

"No. You didn't need me. Just go, hurry! I think I hear guards!"

Just on queue guards came running in and I bolted out the Vault door. I thought the guards would've gotten to me but they didn't even go through the door they just stood there saying "I'm not crazy enough to go out there!" almost as if they were mocking me calling me crazy. I didn't care I ran out of the wooden door out into the Capital Wasteland. When I opened the wooden door to the Wasteland, the natural Sunlight nearly burnt my eyes… I passed out…
