My Life As A Spartan

Chapter 1- Allys POV

I was six years old. I was completly alone. A month ago I had watched the aliens kill both my parents, tourchering them with slow painful deaths as I sat cowering under their bed. It was days befor I even came out. I had no one there to protect or even defend me so i quickly learned to survive. I was walking around the dark empty streets when i heard the cruffing of other feet behind me. I turned slightly, just able to make out my persuers. A couple of medium sized men dressed in better clothes than I was. I was instantly frightened. They just seemed...off to me. I quickened my pace till I was almost at a jog when suddenly a strong hand grabbbed my upper arm forcefully, yanking me backwards. I looked over my shoulder and came face to face with who I was hoping it wouldnt be. It was the smaller one of the two men who had been following me.

"Where do you think your going huh? your coming with us." he growled to me with a smirk on his face. In his other hand he held a small handgun. One word imediatly came to mind. Innies. That one word practically screamed in my mind over and over again. The man who was gripping my arm tried to pick me up, but i was to quick. I slipt out of his grasp. While he was still stunned over my escape i quickly jumped on his back and grabbed the arm that he held teh pistol with, bending it back far enough that he yelped in pain. He was strong. If I was going to get the gun from him i needed to make my move, now. As quickly as before I wremched the gun from his hadn and pointed it at the back of his skull. He froze knowing my intentions. Time seemed to slow. This would be my first time shotting a living thing if I could do it. Could I do it? I closed my eyes, blocking out the whole world, then i slowly pulled teh trigger. I had barley heard the shot that had peirced the mans skull and when i opened my eyes i found I was sitting atop his dead body. I turned towards where the other man was standing just in time to see his gun pointed towards me. I snapped back to reality, took my aim and fired. I had hit him striaght through the heart. Two very lucky shots. Two shots. My frist two kills.

I open my eyes to see the visor of my helemt. It had only been a dream, but why did it seem so real? I could hear the sounds of distant gunfire, UNSC Covenant alike. Why the hell was i sleeping on the battlefeild? I was just getting to my feet when i heard someone shout into my COM.

"Comeon Ally! We need to get outta here. the Covies are hitting this place to hard!" It was one of my squadmates and friends, Erin. what she meant by this place was this pacific area of a planet called New Harmony. She and another one of my sqaudmates. Thomas where a good fifty yards ahead. I regained most my scences and realized that i was already sprinting towards them, favorite shotgun in hand. Once I caught up them the tree of us began slwoly prowling through the jungle to the RV point where we would meet up with the rest of our Spec Ops sqaud. We were all Spartan IIIs from Beta Company. Our squad was me B-312, Erin B-320, Thomas B-352, Dawson B-367, Tommy B-304, Dane B-300, Gage B-309, adn Emily B-339. When we finally made it to the RV point, only needing to make a few quiet kills, we found three Falcons awaiting our arrival.

" W're heading back to HQ. We've done as much as we can for a now." Dane, our squad leader informs us when we take off. I keep silent but blink my acknowledgemetn light on, turning off the COM. I was in a Falcon with Erin, Thomas and Dawson. i was sitting in teh lone seat while Erin and Dawson were seated beside each other, Thomas at his usaul spot on turret. It was a silent ride back until Thomas opened a private COM channel with me.

"What happened back there? Why'd you black out?" He asks, sounding truly concerened. What was he talking about. I only remeber waking up.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ally you blacked out. We were talking then you stopped. I truned back to see you on the ground." I could practically hear his frownn. That made me irritated for some reason.

"I don't know ok." I sanp. just before i reachup to turn my COM off, I hear him sigh, ever so slightly.
