CHAPTER 2:CLOSER
Matt aroused himself from his slumber and surveyed the scenery. He was still in the 3rd floor of what resembled a homeless shelter. He got up and checked the trap he strung, finding it tighter than ever and still in the same position. Matt pulled a hunk of meat he found in a nearby kitchen and started a fire. We're pretty set up here. Why should we leave? Matt thought greedily, shaking the thought from his head. He placed the cold roast on a homemade split and slowly heated up breakfast.
POV switch: Lilly
Lilly awoke to the suculent smell of meat roating and fat sizziling. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and took in a familliar sight. A man, about as tall as she was, was dressed in pure black armor. Matt, she instantly thought rather fondly. She got up and walked over to him, sitting down and taking in the sight of the roasting meat. "Morning." Matt said, senting Lilly's heart fluttering. Stop it! you can't seriously like this human. He's, well, human! she thought, nearly smacking her forehead. "Hey, Matt. Can I show you something?" she asked, already handing Matt a holo.
POV switch:Matt
Matt took the holo, pressing the button on the bottom of the grey bar. A picture of 2 elites popped up. One, presumably a male, was about 8'5" and had a stern look on his face. The second was a mirror of Lilly. Same dark, blue eyes. Same height. Same beautiful face. Snap out of it you ninny! he told himself. "Parents?" he asked, almost choking up. "Yes." she replied, a sad look on her face as she chewed on the roash that was carved up as Lilly had sat down a minute before. Matt was suddely no longer hungery. His parents had died by brute hands, and the memory still haunts him. Suddenly, a loud BOOM shook the building as his trap was tripped. "Upstairs! Now!" Matt ordered, rushing the door as he pulled out a grenade. He primed it and tossed it in a shattered window, blowing up a few grunts and the door hinges. They rushed up the stairs, reaching the top floor in record time, when their radios bust to life. "Hello? Anyone there? Matt? Lilly?" Nikolai's voice was distorted through the radio, but there was no doubt it was the burly russo-german." We're here, Nik. What's wrong?" Matt had asked. " Me and Will had to evacuate Earth. The brutes got us and broke some bones, but we're both fine now. We're obiting the atmosphere right now. Sorry guys. You're on your own." Matt had never felt so enraged. Ever.
POV switch: Lilly
Lilly followed Matt onto the roof, concerned for him. He had punched the nearby wall, putting a small hole in the brittle material. Lilly grabbed his sholders and turned him around. "STOP" she screamed. "Right now, I can only trust you, and you alone. I don't want you dead." . With these words, Matt calmed down. Lilly felt the effects of the near bertayal from his friend. Lilly and suddenly hugged him. She had done it suddenly, and blushed at the prospect of doing it. She parted from him, and muttered some random gibberish. I'm hopeless, she thought.
POV switch: Matt
Lilly had hugged him. Matt blushed and stammored "I have some rope. We can get off this building and find somewhere new. How about it?". Lilly almost intantly agreed. Matt had tied the rope to a sturdy metal pipe and took off torwards ground. His boots hit a grunt below with a loud crunch and quickly dispatched the other 3. Lilly came down soon after, eyes wide in fear of death. "Let's get going, then" Matt said instantly. Matt and Lilly had lucked out. About a mile away was an old hotel with one flight of stairs. They climbed said stairs and found 2 rooms, side by side, and had fallen asleep after a half hour of thinking of the other person.
