Sorry for the short chapter. I'm new to Fanfiction. As I am to writing stories. I know I'm no where near as good as other writers out there, but that's what I'm here for. To improve my skill. (: Please review and leave your opinion. Thanks... Now on to the chapter. Enjoy! Chapter 1. Cold Nights Just another peaceful night in Vault 31. After taking a deep breath I began to think. About how things were before the war, my grandparents always told me stories, but I never paid them any attention. Bombs started falling, so we all ran into these vaults. I feel confined, stuck in an endless rut. Everyday's the same. Wake up go to school, study help father design pip-boys & then read for a few hours, sleep wake up & do it over again thats it. For 14 years now. I could honestly care less about what it looks like out there. Anythings better than this place. My mother is dead. She died saving the vault. Shes considered a hero around here. After I was born the vaults water chip, a computer chip responsible for the water recycling and pumping machinery broke & someone had to venture out into the wasteland and find a new one. Surprisingly no one volunteered. My father didn't even bother. What pisses me off is he didn't even try to stop my mom from going. He's responsible for her death, it really made me question his love for her. When she died my father didn't flinch, didn't even shed a tear. Took her about two months to find one and return to the vault. However after a celebration of her return & act of pure heroism, she died a week later of radiation poisoning. I'm not sure what to think anymore. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be getting my first pip-boy. I was supposed to get it four years ago. my father didn't think I was ready yet. I'm a little excited actually. Also I'm taking the G.L.O.P.T General Logic Operation Placement Test. Once your fourteen you have to take it. Some people have tried comparing it to the G.O.A.T, but there nothing alike. The G.L.O.P.T has to do with Questions based off of old pre-war books. Basically anything that happened before the war. The point is so if we were ever to leave the vault we'd have a general idea of the world around us. That would help us understand why people do certain things, and why things are where they are. There's a total of 30 questions. The questions get much harder as you progress through the assignment. Depending on how I do I'll be placed in a division. The five divisions rank from greatest to least. 5. Vault Outcast 4. Acknowledgeable 3. General Observer 2. Vault Philosopher 1. Master Of Logic I'm not quite sure where i'll be placed. Probably 2 or 1. I'm an avid reader, and I know a good bit about how things were before the war. I'm not going to completely bomb it that's for sure. I guess I just have to wait and see. I slowly stretch my arms back, and pull the covers up, and over me. As I lay quietly I slowly begin to drift away, to sleep.
