First Encounter of the Strangest Beings
This is in the new character's POV. Haven't yet decided a name. I'll change it when a name has been found.
I was creeping around the abandoned building. I heard gunshots a screaming, so being the curious thing that I am, I headed over to see what was going on. I peeked through the cracked, dusty window, seeing the predators chase something into the building opposite building. Four others clambered into a broken down bus. One looked injured. Another had a scratch across his neck. I frowned, where did they come from? The only people left had escaped to a nearby town. And that was God knows how far away. Margret stood beside me, also looking through the glass.
"Who do you think they are?" I asked.
"Don't know." She shrugged.
"Shall we find out?" I smirked.
"Hell yeah!" she bounced off, shooting out the room.
I followed her, grabbing my weapon on the way. As we ran in between the buildings, Margret ran off into a different building. I followed her. I looked back to see if anyone was following us and almost run into her. She'd stopped on the edge of a large cavern. A recently made one. I stood on the edge with Margret, looking into the bottomless looking pit. I knelt down, trying to get a better look at what could've caused it. It has to be a weight of some sort. Not much. Anything would destroy the pathway. I almost do. Except I found a way across.
"Hello?" I called down. "Anyone down there?"
Zip bounced on the other side of me.
"Zip! Don't!" I scolded. "You'll bring the rest of it down."
"Sorry." He apologised. "Just came to say I saw Markus chase some guy and he fell down the hole."
"Great." I sighed. Now I have to rescue the poor guy. "Is there another way down?"
"Yep." Zip shot off back the way Margret and I had come. "This way!"
We both got back up and followed the hyperactive thing. He's excited because he's seen humans running around. Ones we didn't recognise.
We quietly ran around the cars, using them as cover for us. I run above the ledge, behind the trees and buildings. As I ran in-between two covers, I noticed one of the guys looked directly at me. Shit. He noticed. He tried to get my attention by calling at me. I ignored him, carrying on to where the injured man was. The guy started following but was soon stopped by his friends calling him. He looked at me one more time before I ducked out of sight.
My eyes were used to the dark by now, so I didn't need a torch or any source of light. Plus, Margret and Zip warned me if I was about to walk straight into danger.
"He's in here somewhere." Zip announced.
"Split up. I'll go forward, you two go whatever way." I ordered.
And we split up. I climbed over the ledges and odd piece of foundation. The gun on my back kept hitting the back of my head, so I put it down on the ledge. In sight so I could remember to pick it up later. Zip sounded like he'd started digging for something. I looked over to him, seeing him frantically move some of the metal bars.
"I found him!" he called out.
I changed the Point of views since I found it easier to write this from my own point of view. And a word of warning. The POV will shift a lot and I may/may not actually say who's POV it belongs to.
If I don't and you get confused. Tell me. I would most probably forget.
She doesn't have a name just yet. I couldn't decide on one. I'll leave it for a few chapters. She'll say her name then.
Hope y'all like it.
It's a start.
