Glitch's p.o.v

-Two days after Glitch's revival

Holy shit...I just died and came back in what seemed like an instant. It felt absolutely awful but it was completely worth because...well...I'm alive. All I remember before I died is that Sally ran over to me and the mutant died. Then I looked down and saw claw and just died. When I started to come back I felt excruciating pain and could hear Sally screaming my name and asking if I was okay. Then everything just stopped. The pain...the screaming...everything. Then Sally ran over and kneeled beside me and started crying. I remember sitting up and saying that I was sorry...which I truly was. But best of all I remember mine and Sally's first kiss. I couldn't believe that actually happened, but I sure as hell wasn't going to complain. I now knew that our love was real. It made me feel amazing on the inside and out. Also it helps that Ice is back with us, seeming to be better than ever. These things kept ringing through my head as Henry, Ice, and I removed the corpse of the giant mutant while Sally was inside preparing dinner. Everyone had already checked up on me and we everyone did the whole "are you feeling okay" thing to me, so I guess everything is all good. It still hurts hear and there, but nothing so bad to stop me. Hell the only thing pissing me off at the time was that there was now a giant hole in my armor that I needed to fix. I'm probably just going to find some metal on a supply run and weld it in place where the hole is. It won't be as strong as the rest of the armor but it's better than having a giant hole where a lucky shot could go in you. I'm just going to have to be careful until it gets fixed.

It took us about an hour to remove the giant mutant from the HQ as it easily weighed three times as much as me. We where going to light the thing on fire so a revival wouldn't be possible. We where all exhausted and where praying for dinner to be done soon. So I decided to pitch an idea as nobody else was seeming to come up with anything.

"Hey guys, do you want to just go back to the cafeteria and wait for dinner? It is almost nightfall after all." I said basically knowing what there answer would be.

"Sure." Henry and Ice said almost simotainiously, looking at each other and laughing.

"Well then lets light the body on fire and go." I said putting the last of the gasoline on the mutant and throwing a match on it, causing at least a 20 foot flame to burst into the air...as expected.

"Yea, lets go." Ice said putting his rifle on his back and starting to head back down to the HQ. We where at least a mile away from the HQ in the middle of some open field as it seemed to be the safest place to light the thing ablaze. We all followed Ice back down to the HQ and could already smell the food. We weren't exactly sure what Sally was making but it smelled like chicken. This may seem odd saying this but I guarantee that none of us have had chicken in a year. Hell, where did Sally even get chicken around hear. We weren't going to question it though, we where starving and just didn't care about it. All we cared about was that we where getting fed. Around 45 minutes of walking went by until we where at the HQ and being blasted with the amazing smell of food being cooked on an open fire. Ice and I where walking when, all of the sudden, Henry went charging past us and started screaming something along the lines of "First dips!". Ice and I looked at each other and nodded in agreement that we should try to beat him to the front of the serving line. We started charging as Ice quickly passed me.

"Curse this armor." I said with a smile across my face. I knew I wouldn't get there first but the sight of me attempting to catch up made Ice and Henry burst out laughing. This didn't bother me as happiness was a rare sight in these times and the happiness of everyone was a good thing. I always thought that without happiness, everything was pointless. So I let them stand in the doorway of the cafeteria and laugh at me as a ran closer and closer. That's when they realized that I wasn't stopping.

"Oh shit! Get out of the way!" Ice screamed as he pulled Henry and himself out of the way of me, which was basically a walking tank. This made me laugh so hard I nearly tripped in the doorway of the cafeteria which indicated me that I should probably stop running. I saw Sally laughing at me through a window in the kitchen that looked into the cafeteria.

"I saw that!" Sally screamed at me continuing to laugh.

"I would think you where blind if you didn't!" I yelled back attempting to regain my balance. "I guess I get first dips then, huh guys." I said as I turned to face Henry and Ice who where now standing inside the doorway of the cafeteria.

"Screw you Glitch!" Henry said.

"I'm agreeing with the crazy one." Ice said in response.

"I heard that you to!" Sally said, joking with them.

"You where supposed to." Henry screamed back a little louder than he should have. Sally just shook her head laughing and looked back down at the fire place where she was cooking the food. I told the guys to pick a seat at the makeshift tables and benches we built out of logs the day before. I then took of my armor and walked into the kitchen. I managed to sneak up on Sally and nearly scare the shit out of her.

"You little bastard. Don't you ever do that again." Sally said as she turned and gave me a hug.

"I have to keep you alert at all times." I said sarcastically as I gave Sally a small kiss on the cheek.

"Aren't you an affectionate one today." Sally said as she did the same in return.

"I guess I'm just in a really good mood. Dying and coming back tends to do that." I said thinking to myself that that was a pretty stupid excuse.

"Either that or your just delusional from starvation. Hear try this." Sally said as she shoved the first piece of food she could grab into my face.

"Hey look, I don't know what your doing but I'm going to eat that either way." I said as I grabbed it out of her hand and basically devouring the thing.

"Taste like chicken." I said with my mouth full and a slight smirk across my face.

"That's because that's what it is." Sally said turning back to the fireplace and laughing. "It will all be done soon. You mind telling the guys."

"Not at all." I said as I walked out of the kitchen. Upon opening the door I saw Henry and Ice standing there, obviously eavesdropping.

"How much of that did you two hear?" I asked as I crossed my arms and raising an eyebrow at them.

"All of it." Henry said with a smirk on his face. I just stood there, shook my head, and chuckled.

"Go sit, the food will be out in a minute." I said as I pointed over to the table wear they where previously sitting. They obeyed and did just that. Walked to there table, laughing in the process. No doubt at me. I walked over and sat at the table beside them, mainly because each table was mainly built for two wolfs at each. Would have made them bigger but we only had so much time. I sat there and just listened in on there conversation. It sounded like they where trying to have a who's the bigger badass competition and it was fairly entertaining. That's when all of the sudden a plate landed in front of me. I looked up and saw Sally smiling at down at me.

"Thank you." I said as she walked over and gave Henry and Ice there food.

"Your welcome." She said as she turned around and sat on the other side of the small table. "It's nice to now there getting along, right?"

"Yea, I heard they weren't to fond of each other at first. Even if they still didn't I wouldn't have any of it so...those two wouldn't have been a problem for two long."

"I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I'm just going to leave that alone." Sally said. "Enough talk for now Glitch you need to eat."

"Yea...your right." I said as I started to scarf down my food.

"Well that's attractive." Sally said in a smart remark.

"It's not supposed to be." I responded with a mouth full of food. I kept eating until it was completely gone in around five minutes.

"I take it you like my cooking." Sally said with a slight chuckle. I only ate like that because I haven't eaten in two days. I just nodded my head in agreement with Sally though because I didn't want her to know that.

"Well then, I guess I'm making the food from now on." Sally said

"Awesome!" Henry quickly responded from the other table. We all just laughed at Henry's response as it was quite funny...to us at least. We all sat around in the cafeteria for around another half an hour and cleaned up. We eventually ended up back in the house once we where cleaning. We sat around in the living room for a while and talked until around midnight. We all decided to go to our rooms and get some rest. Ice went to his, Henry to his, and Sally and I into ours on the top floor. We put our armor in the closet and laid down in our classic position. The same position we have laid in sense the first night we sleep together. We said goodnight to each other and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

- 3 hours later.

"Glitch! Wake up!" Sally said as she shook me to wake up.

"Who...what's going on?" I questioned, still half asleep.

"There's a patrol outside." Sally said as I sat up, seeing Ice and Henry taking cover on both sides of the door, fully armed with there weapons and armor.

"Patrol...of what?" I questioned.

"Red Fang." Sally said.
