Knowing that It's going to be a bit until I get the fourth chapter up, I decided I might as well make some quick changes to other chapters. I figured chapter three is where the story starts getting interesting, so I'm just trying to keep my readers interested until they get there. Happy reading!
As soon as I left my house the foul stench of death filled my nostrils. Looking around, I saw the lifeless faces of all the people I had come to love over the years. I instantly got sick, and threw up over the railing. An EAF soldier noticed me and began to slowly approach. I didn't know what to do, so I drew my weapon and started to fire. Out of the 4 shots I got off, only two connected, and that didn't even make the man flinch. I cursed myself for always turning my father down when he recommended shooting practice.
"Put down your weapon and I might let you live you little runt!" The man was armed rather heavily. Sporting a heavy ballistic vest, and a combat shotgun. I was rather outgunned. A shot rang out and the shotgun round slammed into the West residence, leaving a big smoking hole where there used to be a wall.
''Oh god. I'm going to die! What the hell am I going to do? This guy is practically a tank against a cruddy 10mm!' Then I suddenly remembered about the arsenal of weapons my dad kept around the house in case of an emergency. I needed to get to those weapons!
There was only one problem. That guy was standing right in front of the door. I began to unload my pistol into the man's helmet. The glass cracked, and he fall back against the side of the house. I siezed my opportunity and rushed inside. I opened the locker and grabbed any weapon. Just as I picked up a gun a shotgun blast tore apart the locker and all its contents.
'Jesus Christ! What kind of bullets is this guy using?!' I fell back as the man kicked the door in. Just in time to have his torso blown out by the shot of my laser rifle. The man let out a blood curdling scream. Crimson red blood flooded out of his mouth, and he slowly vaporized into dust. This got the attention of every EAF soldier in the area. I had to come up with a plan I remembered my dad teaching me all about how to set traps. I was actually rather good at it. I ran into my father's study and opened his secret wall, which housed several dozen weapons, ranging from frag grenades, to plasma rifles. I quickly stocked up on weapons, and threw on my fathers green Ranger armor. I layed down a bottle cap mine at the door, and the bottom of the stairs.
Soldiers charged the house, but four were instantly blown apart by the first mine. Their body parts showered the interior of the house. They fell back, giving me the opportunity to shower them with laser fire. It was going well for a while, until the men shot the bottle cap mine at the bottom of the stairs. The explosion sent me flying into my dads room and the house was caving in. Suddenly there was a loud crack, and then everything went dark.
I woke up in a daze, confused as to where I was. The house had collapsed and fallen all the way to the ground. I could barely breath. I guessed I must have gotten serious internal injuries on the way down. Four surviving EAF stepped over to my position, and loomed above me. One raised his hunting rifle, and loaded a single bullet into the chamber. I closed my eyes, deciding I would accept my death honorably.
CRACK! One soldier crumpled, having his head blown apart. CRACK! Another soldier fell to the ground. The EAF returned fire to no place in particular. CRACK! ... CRACK!
The last of the soldiers fell. I attempted to get up, and only then realized there was a huge piece of wood impaled in my leg. I screamed a loud, long, pained, scream. Then blacked out. I woke up in a cozy sleeping bag, next to a fire. I recalled the events at Megaton and panicked, struggling to get up. Pain shot through my leg like fire. A rough pair of hands forced me down.
"Save your energy kid. You'll need it" A rough gravelly voice said. It took a second or two to focus my vision, but when I saw who it was I was more then happy.
Keep reading guys, I have big plans for the next few chapters. And if everything goes according to said plans, then I have one word of advice. Look out for chapter seven. Thanks for reading!
