PART 1: SUMMER

Once upon a time, I had somebody that I cared about... It was a partner. Somebody I had to look after.

CHAPTER 1

It has been fourteen years since my friend and I were born into this world. A week since he was brutally tortured and murdered.

And I've hunting the men who killed him since.

I've been following an old man and a young girl, who seems around my age. She looks pretty. Green eyes, auburn hair. I don't know if I should show my face to them. They probably would kill me thinking I was a hostile but I will never know until that happens. I hate being alone.

They were moving.

I picked up my .30-06 rifle and my bag and followed from a distance using the cover of darkness to avoid detection. Even killed a hunter with my knife that my father who I never knew gave me.

Revenge is sweet.

Fucking bastards.

They've managed to repair one of the military's Humvees and strapped my friend's legless corpse to the bonnet. Now they are ruthlessly hunting the pair with it.

A light turns on as two of them walk out of a derelict bar. I shouldered my scoped rifle and lined up their heads and squeezed the trigger. They fell as one as the bullet passed through their skulls.

That's is why they fear me.

She dropped something.

I don't know what it is but I will try and pick it up and return it.

A firefly pendant splattered with blood?

It reads

I need to know answers.
