Through Hell
Chapter 1
Keep your cool, keep your cool. "So whad'ya think about my smokin hot girlfriend guys?" Scout blurted out, a cocky smirk plastered on his face. The RED team was celebrating yet again another victory added under their belts, a night of drinking and cards. Spy, Engineer, Demo, and Sniper sat together occasionally casting slight glances at one another, then eyeing their own cards. Spy quickly shot back "Was something laced in your drink? You must not be thinking clearly." The men in the room let out a chuckle, Heavy piping up in the background "Is leetle man even allowed to drink?" Scout slouched back deeper into the couch he was sitting in, pouting, looking over at Heavy "Playin' checkers with chess pieces again hunk head?". Heavy paused a moment and looked at the chess table, with Medic sitting directly across from him poker faced as he won game after game. "Don't get your unders in a twist Junge, we are merely poking fun." Medic cast a glance at Scout who quickly got up and started sulking to his room. "Whatever, y'all can piss off!" And with that, Scout went to his room, took off his shoes, and flopped down on his bed un-gracefully. Soon letting himself be dragged into a dreamless slumber.
There was a large BOOM! From the outside of Scout's door, towards the common room. Scout groaned and rolled over, his head was throbbing, maybe he did have a little too much to drink last night- but what time was it? Scout looked over at the very basic alarm clock on his nightstand, right next to a picture of him and his Ma standing next to each other. His attention was pried from his thoughts the second he heard a gunshot- then two gunshots- then three. The a blood curdling scream. Immediately the sleep was shook from his mind and he got up and grabbed his bat that was sitting next to his door and shuffled out into the hallway. Right away the strong irony stench of blood hit his nostrils. The hairs on the back of Scout's neck rose, he walked slowly, bat in hand. He rounded the corner to the common room and was immediately hit with a gorey scene. Soldier was spread on on the floor, dead body pooling blood onto the concrete floor. Not that it really worried him though- the Respawn machine was still on. It was never shut off, his body would simply dissipate and he would be respawned in a matter of hours. Due to the fact that they weren't exactly on duty, the respawn machine went into a power saving cooldown mode. It was still there as an insurance- it did come in hand when Demo fell out the window piss drunk and broke his neck. Another gunshot fired, and he saw Medic stumble back into his view clutching his midsection before looking over at Scout and wheezing out as a small trail of blood pushed its way through his mouth.
"Run"
Scout felt a lump in his throat form when Medic said that, he dashed forward and dragged Medic by his top half over against a wall on the hallway. "Doc! What the hell is going on?" Scout shook his shoulders lightly. Medic didn't respond, his body lurched forward, completely limp. Scout let out a shaky breath. Clutching the handle of his bat tightly, he crouched down and peeked out the corner of the entry to the common room. Windows were broken and glass was shattered everywhere across the ground, blood and bodies were everywhere the more his mind could focus on it. Demo's bloody corpse was lurched over the table he was playing cards at not so long ago. There was a bullet hole in the center of his forehead, and the exit of the bullet was all over the wall behind him. He felt his heart nearly stop as he heard a deep voice he had never heard before call out "I see seven corpses before me and that means two rats are loose in this building, go find them!" He heard a fist slam on what he would assume to be the table in the kitchen, along with many footsteps moving towards him.
