My Story While In The Midest Of The Locust War

by Genesis Vakarian

This is my first self insert story. So, yeah. There might be errors or something like that along the way, but it's AU. And well hell, this will be my journey during the entire Gears Of War series expect for Judgement. Along the way, I will inspire at least one stranded to stick around. Yeah, and my oc is a flipping banshee to boot.

10. Chapter 10

After meeting Franklin I knew that Dom had it covered so I kept my damned mouth shut while Marco took over watching Aria and Sasha for me. Because I knew that I was going with Marcus and Dom to get the damned junker from Chap's gas station.

However, I knew that Aria, Sasha, Cole and Baird were staying behind and would be useful in a firefight. Marco knew sign language and told Aria that I will be back as fast as I could with Dom and Marcus.

So, after Dom called in the favor, Franklin gave him the keys to the junker and I followed after leaving my pistol with Aria and asking Cole if he could teach her how to use it. And he agreed. Aria gave me a quick hug before I scampered after Marcus and Dom.

I could feel the tension coming off of Dom for some reason and asked,"What's the problem Dom? Something's bothering you I can tell." I minored in reading body language as well and he seemed surprised.

Marcus knew that talking about his family was hard and told me enough to keep me from furthering the questions."He had gotten married before the war started and well, he had two kids. A boy and girl. Henry and Rose. He also had an older brother named Carlos who died while I was injured. So, that's part of the reason why he agreed to keep an eye on you girls. Because you would about about Henry's age while Aria would be about the same age as Rose."

I nodded in understanding and went quiet for a while till we got a sniper killed off and I grabbed his rifle knowing how to use it pretty well. As we moved towards check point 1, I knew better then to sing and I stayed quiet during the trip. However, I knew that kyrll were out when that scared me far fucking worse then any other shit.

After arriving at the first checkpoint, we were told to stay under the light when the guys were killed off after theirs died. I went,"Oh fucking shit. How are we going to get any further without any light?" aria always hated the dark and well, I kept at least one lamp in the room that we shared in the academy for her. However, I also used incense to keep us both calm.

So, as we made our way to checkpoint 2, I was really quiet when Dom placed a hand on my uninjured shoulder and gave me a smile when we had to deal with a e-hole. Knowing that I had to be sniper, I did it without protest and I have found many sets of Cog tags and collected them. I picked up another pair after we got to a street with a broad strobe light.

We had gotten to checkpoint 2 and got through it alright till we got to where Chap's gas station was placed. And a car had a gas tank in it. We had used countless others for light on the way. So, we moved with it in a roadie run and we made it to Chap's and the junker.
