I don't own Gears of War; the characters; places; weapons; ect I am just borrowing them ;-)

Chapter 1: Sam

Sam woke with a splitting headache and covered in blood. She was surrounded by the burning wreckage of a raven. She couldn't remember how she got to this point and every time she did, a blinding hot pain nearly pushed her into unconcousness.

A wave of nausia washed over her. She rolled to her side dry heaving. She brought a sandy shakey hand up to push away several of her sweat drenched hair.

The red-hot wreckage was still smokdering around her, making her sweaty. She could feel beads of sweat sliding down her back, making her feel uncomfortable.

Off in the distance, gunfire and explosions echoed, but for some reason, Sam was unable to recall anything, what the cause of the noises were, her location, not even who she was.

All memories illueded her, and even brought sharp blinding pain.

The ravens were close by, the loud roar of the engins told her so, but her brain was unable to process it.

Slowly she straeached, making sure another wave of nausia wouldn't consume her. Her whole body felt like it was on fire, a pain all over that threaten to once again push her into unconcousness

Throughout all teh haze, the sounds of waves broke through her jumbled thoughts, slowly calming her down. Her heart slowed, nolonger feeling as if it would burst right through her chest.

Verly slowly she moved her fingrers, then her toes. Little by little she begain to regain motor functions. After several minutes, she sat up.

Everything around her was a mess. Small flames surrounded her, filling her lungs with smoke. She coughed, struggling to breath fresh air as she once again became dizzy.

She struggled to her feet, wobbling slightly. Very slowly she made her way out of the smoke into the fresh air. She walked across the beach she could feel the vibrations under her boots.

It took several minutse for her brain to register.

'Shit, grubs, Lambent, stalks...when will this all end?'

Sam moved sluggishly in the wet sand in search of her lancer. With blurried vision, she scrambled across the beach, nothing was focused. She tried shaking her head, hoping it would clear the fog from her mind, but it only made her dizzy.

Her whole body was numb, and her limbs felt heavy, making any movement difficult. She struggled to remember no matter how much it hurt.

A hot white light filled her mind once again, sending her to her knees. She held her head in her hands, her eyes squeezed shut as she cried out in pain. She regretted trying to remember , though it bugged her so badly that itt hurt too.

She laid there for several minutes, letting the throbbing pain subside.

It was hot, and she felt as if the bright sun was beating down on her, slowly cooking her. She turned alway, trying to keep the sun out of her eyes.

'Damn it..What the hell happened...?'

Then it hit her, and she felt like she slammed hard into a brick wall.

It came to her in flashes at first, images, sounds.

They were in a raven. They? Who was with her? How many people were with her? A loud noise, like a large weapon going off, followed by a very large explosion that hurt her ears. Hot, a fire? But what was on fire? `

Suddenly her body felt like it was on fire, then the feeling of free falling. She screamed and so did somebody else.

The face in the memory wasn't clear, and she struggled to remember.

There was a lot of wind as they rappidly approached the ground. Large rough hands grabbed her, keeping her from falling to her death, then at the last moment, pushed her out just before the raven hit the ground.

Her head hit the ground hard, a dull thump echoed in her ears, then everything went black...

TBC...

Haha What do you think? Did I do okay? I worked really hard all day I am leaning toward the sad ending more than a happily ever after..
