Authors note: In this chapter, we learn about our second hero, enjoy and please review. Mike will return next chapter.

Hey, the names Sam, and I have a dream, which is to get rid of Chris. It all started back when I was in 7th grade. Back then, I admired Chris. Everyone did. Anyway, my class and I went on a field trip to what the orange army calls "project mutant." At first, I was pretty exited, until I learned what project mutant really was. Project mutant was basically an experiment, using thirteen year children as lab rats. Scientists inject needles in kids, turning them into mutant creatures. And it gets worse! If the kid/mutant either misbehaved or went crazy from the mutation, the scientist will inject another needle, which stopped the blood flow in the child's body, thus killing him/ her.

After learning that, I didn't pay attention to the rest of the trip, I was too horrified. The only thing I really remember was this cute blonde girl. She looked like she's been infected already. I remember that when our eyes met, I could see all the pain and misery she's been going through.

Now, five years later, I've learned that "project mutant" was cancelled because of the building catching fire, killing all the scientist and test subjects. Due to curiosity, I went to check out the building. Sure enough, it was completely demolished. I go inside and look around. After ten minutes, I decide to leave, until I noticed something moving. What I found next left me speechless.

There, on the floor was the same blonde girl I saw five years ago, now dying of hunger and thirst. I decide to take her to my house. Once I arrive home, I put her on my bed. Thankfully my parents are at work. She wakes up quickly afterward and starts asking questions. I tell her that I found her in the lab and took her here, while I give her some food. After eating, she instantly tells me that she has to go. I ask her why and she tells me that she needs to go to Chrisvill, in order to stop Chris. I ask her if I can join and she tells me no, that it's too dangerous. However, I didn't give up. After two hours of arguing, she finally agrees to let me tag along. I pack my bag and take my dad's silent rifle along with a bunch of bullets. I write a note for my parents, telling them my plans and that I'll be gone for awhile. I let the girl use my car, since she knows where to go, and we head off. For the next three days (it a five day drive from my house to Chrisvill), we started bounding. She started telling me that her name is Dakota, and that her dad made her participate in "project mutant". I told her about me, that I'm a gamer and the reasons why I hate Chris.

On day four of our five day drive was when things got strange. We stopped at a small town to buy snacks when these three guys tried to rob us. They pointed their guns at us and ordered us to give them everything we own. I was going to do it until Dakota stepped in. She said that she wasn't afraid of them. That's when one of them shot her in her arm. But instead of penetrating her skin, the bullet bounced right off it. The fact that they shot her made her angry, causing her to transform into an eight story monster. The robbers tried to get away, but Dakota struck them before they got far. Afterwards, she calmed down and asked if I was ok. I just nodded, shocked by what I just saw. She told me that she was a mutant, because of "project mutation."

"You probably think now that I'm a freak now" she stated in a saddened tone.

"No I don't," I tell her, "in fact, I think you are the coolest girl ever."

"Really?" She asked with a blush on her face.

"Yea" I state, feeling very warm. That's when she kissed me. I've never kissed a girl before, so this was new.

"Sam," she states, "the rest of this journey is going to be dangerous, and I like you, so if you want to go back home, that's ok."

"I like you two" I state. "And I'll follow you anywhere." And with that, we continue towards Chrisville. Our journey has just begun.
