Hello everyone this is the second chapter. I hope you enjoy.
Hydraulics hissed spitting steam into the soot tainted air. Weapons more than capable of destroying me atom from atom stared me straight in my soot stained and hollow eyed face. Clenching my jaw and closing my eyes i wait for death to encompass me in its cold embrace. Three shots are fired and hot liquid covers me from head to toe, dripping into my eyes and agitating cuts across my skin. Opening my blood spattered eyes blinking rapidly, I look down expecting to see a ragged whole in my chest, but there isn't. I turn my head and look behind me in horror spotting three dead cultists or what's left of them. Thundering footsteps catch my attention causing me to turn towards the dreadnought walking away in its slow heavy gait. Impulse drives me to follow it cautiously. Sticking to the shadows and doing my best to be stealthy I study its frightening form. Covered in dried blood and scorch marks, riddled with dent and bullet holes. One arm made entirely out of an assault cannon the other a claw. It was fearsome to behold.
Hours passed as I followed this hulking fighting machine. Soot stained streets and the background flicker of dyeing fires partially conceal its form, but a blind person could follow its great lumbering gait as it smashed through rubble and vacant streets. Throughout my following I kept wondering to myself "Why did this thing save me from those men back there? Why have I survived when no one else has?" but no matter how many times i asked myself the truth would never reveal itself to me.
Hunger and exhaustion starts to creep up on me. My limbs deadened and my eyes start to droop as the pains in my stomach with vengeance. Minutes pass without me noticing it. Time passes me by in a splendor of sights and sound with a feeling of dislocation. Before I'm aware of what's happening I find myself on my back staring up at the sky on a rubble strewn road the world darkening around me, as a hellish figure looms in my failing vision. I try to scream but by then I'm unconscious
