Glitch's p.o.v

I am now happy, this was nice since I haven't felt this in a long time. I was still asleep, or at least half asleep since I could still think. I was waking up but I didn't want to move because I could still feel Sally sleeping in the same position she fell asleep in. She was still on her side resting her head on my chest and my arm was still around her. This brought a smile to my face. I slowly moved my head so I could look out the window. I was trying my best not to wake Sally. I could tell that it was day time because sunlight was coming in through the window. The room was still fairly dark though. It was at least 9 A.M, this is the latest I've waken up in a while. This made me wonder if it was the same for Sally. How long has it been since she's had a good sleep. I figured to myself that it has been a while for her as well so I just layed there in silence and waited for her to wake up. It was nice having someone to sleep with as well. It just made you feel...good. I continued to lay there until Sally started to move around as she was starting to wake up.

"Morning Sally." I happily said.

Sally just made a grunting noise as she was just waking up and didn't want to talk yet. I gave her a few minutes to wake up before I tried again.

"Morning Sally." I said again, waiting for an actual response.

"Uuugghhh...morning Glitch, it's nice to see you. How long have you been up?" Sally questioned.

"Just a few minutes." I responded. "It's nice to see you to."

"Oh." Sally responded. "You sound relaxed, have a good sleep?"

"First one in a while, I assume it's the same for you...right?" I asked

"Good guess...not hard to figure out when someone is exhausted, is it." Sally said while letting out a small chuckle.

"I could tell that you where exhausted. Either way we need to inspect all the buildings for any flaws or repairs that need to be made. You stay here and get ready. Make sure all guns are loaded every time you go out that front door. I've had some bad experiences from not correctly preparing and you probably know what's waiting out in the wasteland." I said.

"Yea...it is pretty ruff out there. I'll get ready. See you in a minute Glitch." Sally said, smiling.

"K, I'm going to get Henry. We'll be outside." I told Sally.

"K." Sally responded as she started to put on her clothes.

I walked to the closet and put on my armor. I then grabbed all my weapons and loaded up. I then walked out the door and turned around to wave to Sally. She waved back and smiled. I shut the door and turned back around to go down the stairs. I was still as happy as I've been in a while. I walked down the stairs and started to hear moving noises coming from the first floor. It was probably Henry but you can never be sure. I didn't draw it but I still put my hand on my pistol just in case. I cautiously went down to the first floor and followed the noises to Henry's room. It had to be him, but again you can't be to sure. I slowly opened the door to see Henry crouched over in a corner. I looked around the room to see multiple, crudely done sketches of the Red Fang symbol. This was highly odd but I did remember Henry once saying that he had the image burned in his head and that when he drew them it made him forget them, momentarily. It has been a few days since I first saw him drawing the symbols, so I guess it wore off since the last time he's done this. I had to talk to him though.

"Henry, you there buddy?" I asked hoping for a logical response.

"HI THERE GLITCH!" Henry screamed out. "I see that you now have a lover with you, I'll be out in a minute. I know what where doing."

"She's not a lover, just a very good friend...sort of. How do you know what where doing any way?" I questioned.

"These walls aren't exactly sound proof you know...and if she isn't than I give you two at least a week before I can consider you two lovers than Glitch." Henry said trying to joke with me.

"Yea yea, whatever man. Just load up and meet me outside." I told henry as I walked out the door.

I walked out the door and put a round in the chamber of each of my guns. I started to look around at the four buildings. I liked this place. Not only because it would make a great HQ, but also because of...Sally. I loved her and she loved me back. It was an amazing thing. I thought about her for a minute until Henry walked out the door. He was completely loaded up in his battle armor with all his weapons loaded. He walked out beside me and we started to talk as we waited for Sally. Sally then walked out of the house with her armor and weapons. She looked beautiful. She was wearing her normal clothes but also was wearing a slender, bullet-proof vest and helmet. She looked good in it. I stared until I heard Henry say something.

"AAAWWWW you two look good together." Henry said nudging my shoulder.

"Yea...thanks Henry." I said taking it as a compliment.

Sally walked over and faced Henry and I.

"Well, are we going to get started? I didn't put all this on for nothing did I?" Sally said joking around with Henry and I.

"Yea. Lets go." I said as I turned and started walking to the house where I killed the mutant. I told Sally that I did this and that we should take caution. I wasn't completely sure if I actually killed it. We approached the building and heard the same rumbling, tearing noise I heard when I first went in the building. Only this time it was much louder and was followed by a very loud noise of something moving around. I looked in the window to see a giant, black figure in the building. I knew it was a mutant as it turned to look at me and growled like most mutants would. The mutant started to charge towards the front door where Sally and Henry where at. I took action.

"SALLY...HENRY...RUN!" This was all I could manage to see as I was frozen in shock that my friends where in danger. I heard screaming as the whole front of the building exploded outwards followed by a large, charging mutant. I ran to the front of the building as fast as my armor would allow me to. I grabbed my chainSAW and faced the mutant. It was larger than me. I quickly looked around for my friends. It took my a minute to find them and I instantly got worried. I frantically looked around and found them taking cover on the other side of the building. This was good as I now knew that they where okay. But then I heard the mutant charging...at me! I couldn't react in time and the mutant slammed into me. I went flying back at least 20 feet. This didn't injure but did stun me. Or at least I didn't think so. I stood up but instantly fell to the ground. I was than greeted by Sally telling Henry to hold it off as she ran towards me.

"GLITCH! Stay there and don't move!" Sally screamed as she crouched over me.

"I'm fine Sally let me fight." I said attempting to get up, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Look down Glitch, now!" Sally demanded with tears running down her muzzle and onto my armor. At first I didn't know what was going on, but then I looked down and saw it. There was one of the mutants claws pierced through my armor and into my stomach. This claw had to be at least three inches in diameter. My eyes widened when I saw it. Then I looked behind Sally to see the mutant running towards Sally and I. I reached forwards and pulled Sally's M9 out of her holster and pushed Sally aside. I started to fire at the thing as the rounds seemed to just bounce off. I fell on my back and accepted defeat. Then, all of the sudden the mutants head basically exploded...then I heard the shot. I was grateful for this as I wasn't going to die...then I remembered the claw. I turned my head to face Sally who was sobbing over me. I tried to talk but all I could say was.

"I'm s...sorry." I mumbled as I started to cough up blood. I reached out and grabbed Sally's hand. I looked up at her eyes and passed out.
