Claire's POV I climbed up the wall and fell down again. I wiped off the sweat on my forehead. I saw a canteen being held in front of me, I turned to see BLU (For now on I will put BLU and RED so no one will get confused) Scout.

"Drink." He said. I took it and gulped it down.

"What are you doing?" He questioned.

"I'm running the course." I replied.

"Well don't, we don't want your body to get all banged up." BLU Scout said.

"No, I'm fine. I'm just trying to get stronger so I won't be a burden." I replied.

"Who says your a burden? Your brother loves you." BLU Scout comforted.

"Yeah...Before when, it was my fault when he...It's mixed in with the story of how I was afraid of guns. Do you want to hear it?" I asked. BLU Scout nodded.

Bill's POV *The same night*

"They're here! The team and Bill's friends!" RED Scout yelled. I saw my friends, they ran into the base and I walked down to meet them.

"BILL!" They yelled they all came to hug me. I felt twelve arms hug me...Wait, only twelve! I looked at my friends, my sister wasn't among them.

"Where's Claire?" I asked worried.

"Claire, she went off to go look for you." Amy replied sadly.

"We need to go look for her!" I exclaimed.

"I'm afraid we cannot go, you are still injured." RED Medic said. My sister, only eight with a fear of guns, all alone in a zombie apocalypse. I ran up to the top of the tower and shut the door behind me. I began to cry.

"Claire, I'm sorry. I made you a promise and I broke it." I cried.

"Hurph." A voice muffled. I saw RED Pyro, he had followed me.

"Hi Py." I said.

"Murph Heh Matther." He muffled. I could barely make out words, "What's the matter."

"My sister, Claire...She's in a life-death situation. And it's my fault. I broke the promise." I sobbed.

"Momiss?" RED Pyro asked. I think he had said promise.

"I made a promise to her, the day she became afraid of guns...And I broke it. It's my fault, like then. Do you want to hear it?" I asked. RED Pyro nodded.

3rd Person's POV

Bill and Claire always got along. Ever since Claire was born Bill had loved her. They never got into a fight. When Bill turned ten he won the Karate World Championship. Ellis had kept it in a special trophy case up on Bill's wall. Bill spent one hour each day looking at it. It was his most prized position. One night Claire was playing with her new kickball. She threw it around when she was facing Bill's room she kicked it.
It bounced off the wall and into Bill's Trophy's case. It caused Bill's prized trophy to fall and shatter.

"CLAIRE!" Bill had yelled.

"Bill, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to I sw-" Claire had squeaked, she never had seen him angry at her before.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED TO GET THIS TROPHY? I HATE YOU CLAIRE! GO AWAY!" Bill screamed. He shoved her and made her fall. Then he ran into his room and shut the door. Claire began to sob and she also ran into her room. Zoey came and grounded Bill for his behavior, Ellis then gave him a lecture.

"I'm sorry dad, I didn't mean it. I was just so angry." Bill cried. Ellis could tell his son didn't mean it.

"Bill, I'll make your grounding shorter if you tell your sister sorry." Ellis said. Bill made his way to his sister's room. He opened the door.

"Claire I'm sorry." He said. He looked around the room, Claire was not there. There was a note on her bed.

"I'm sorry Bill. I know you hate me, it's better if I'm not around anymore. I will runaway and you will never have to see again.

Goodbye, Claire." He read. Bill told his parents and they called the police and we drove around. Then they were joined by their friends for the search. I saw a little girl with her hair in a ponytail run down a alley way.

"Stop!" I yelled we got out of the car. I ran after the little girl. Then she disappeared.

"NO!" A young girl's voice screamed. I ran towards it. There were two men, one with Claire in his arms and the other with a gun at her head.

"What's your address? We need to send a little note to your parents." One man said.

"I don't know!" Claire yelped in reply.

"Just shoot her and get it over with." The other man said. My parents quickly came.

"Let her go! I'll give you anything, cash, credit cards, whatever! Just let go of my daughter!" My father yelled. He reach in his pocket and pulled out his wallet. He laid it on the floor. My mother did the same.

"HANDS UP NOW!" A voice yelled. It was the police. They held guns in the air.

"Just let the girl down along with your gun and we won't hurt you." One police man said. The man

holding Claire put her down and she ran to Bill.

"Bill!" She exclaimed. Bill held his sister.

"Now the gun." The police instructed. They stopped. When it appeared they would put it down. They quickly shot and killed one. Gun fire rang out. Bill hid Claire from the view of it.

"Get in the car! Drive away now!" A police man yelled. My father and mother grabbed their wallets and ran to our car and drove away.

"I'm sorry Claire. I promise I'll never leave you again." Bill cried.

"Cross your heart?" Claire asked. Bill crossed his heart and Claire did the same.

"Promise." They spoke in unison.

Bill's POV

"That's it. Thanks for listening Py." I said.

"Mur mu Mroblem." RED Pyro spoke. He said "Not a problem."

"Mind not telling anyone else? It's a bit personal." I admitted.

"Mo may. Man ro muep a remut?" RED Pyro asked.

"A secret? Sure." I said. Pyro stood up and backed up a bit. He took off his oxygen mask. Long brown hair fell to his waist...Or shall I say her. My mouth hung open in surprise. Pyro was a beautiful woman with tanned skin (it says he...she's from Mexico) burgundy eyes and brown hair. She had full lips, nice eyes and a perfect face.

"Surprised?" Pyro asked. I nodded.

"I came to the RED team as a girl at first. Then no one took me seriously or let me join. Then I came as Pyro and I was let in because they thought I was a guy. Make sense to you? Now I'll keep your secret if you keep mine, comprendo?" She asked. I nodded again.

Claire's POV

"That's why your afraid of guns. That is pretty scary. And how your older brother really loved you. I felt that too." BLU Scout said.

"Did you have an older brother too?" I asked.

"Make it seven. Only problem is that they liked to beat the crap out of me. But my favorite brother, the third oldest, was my favorite. Everytime my brothers were going too far with beating the crap out of me he always tried to stop them. Then they'd turn on him and he told me to run. And also he was the one that always walked me home from school too. And there were also people that came to fight my brothers too, he'd always tell me to run." BLU Scout spoke. He took out a silver flip thing. He clicked the button and it opened to reveal a photo of eight brothers, the smallest being him.

"What happened to him? Is he still alive?" I questioned.

"No," BLU Scout said, sadness lingering in his voice. "He died during the first zombie apocalypse. The only time I shouldn've run." I gave him a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Is that picture precious to you? Like mine?" I asked. I pulled out my gold locked from under my shirt. I opened it. There was a picture of me and Bill. The first half me and him five years ago and the other picture the most recent one, taken this year.

"Each year I replace the half with the newer year with another new year," I told him. "Then I take that year and paste it to a special poster."

"Yeah, it is. And Claire don't be afraid of guns. They were made for peace, not for war. The only thing that is bad is that people abuse it." BLU Scout told me. I nodded.

"GARGH!" A deep voice yelled. Me and BLU Scout turned to see a Tank.

"S*IT! RUN CLAIRE!" BLU Scout yelled. I nodded and ran into the base. But I stopped half way, I needed to help Scout.

"Everyone wake up! Scout's in trouble!" I screamed as loud as possible. I witnessed all the lights turn on in the base. I grabbed my sniper rifle and ran outside. BLU Scout kept shooting the Tank, but he was bleeding. I fired the Tank from the back. It turned around and charged at me. I kept on shooting at it, not budging. BLU Scout quickly got a baseball and baseball bat and flung the ball at the Tank. The Tank turned around. The Team spewed out of the building.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" The horde was running towards us. The sentries that were set up outside were exploded being sapped. BLU Pyro quickly ran to them, burning flesh on the way.

"Doctor! Ubercharge me!" BLU Heavy yelled.

"Yes!" BLU Medic screamed. I watched as heavy turned into a glowing, blue person. He shot zombies down to fractions of what they came. The rest of the team fought too. Pyro had gotten rid of the sappers. But the Tank still remained. It was pushing Scout further and further into the Forrest. I followed it and kept on shooting.

BLU Scout's POV

I kept on shooting the Tank, it drove me to the cliff. Claire was running behind it. She kept on shooting but the Tank ignored her, he went straight for me. He hit me once, I almost fell off the cliff. I hung on.

"Claire! Claire run!" I screamed.

"No! I won't leave you behind!" Claire screamed.

Claire's POV What I was about to do was crazy, but I needed to do it. BLU Scout had dropped his shotgun, I picked it up.

"ARGH!" I yelled a battle yell. The Tank that kept going after Scout that was on a cliff. I hopped on his back. It was only a split second for the Tank that was after he was going to hit BLU Scout that he saw me. I pushed the trigger and the barrel was in his face. I was blown back and the Tank's head exploded. The rest of the body fell off the cliff.

"Scout!" I yelled. The team was behind me.

"Guys I need help lifting him up." I announced. BLU Sniper and BLU Heavy helped BLU Scout up.

"Thanks Claire, I would be a goner if it hadn't been for you." BLU Scout said.

"My Scottie! My baby!" Scout's mom came and hugged her son.

"Ma, I'm fine." BLU Scout said hugging her mother.

"Scott's your real name?" I asked.

"Yeah, better than Jane Doe." Scott (I'll refer to the RED Scout as Scout and the BLU Scout as Scott for now on) said eying the Soldier.

"Next time the Tank won't get you." He threatened.

*THE NEXT DAY, IN THE MORNING*
Engineer's POV

BLU Demoman shot bombs at incoming infected.

"NONE OF YOUS GONNA SURVIVE THIS!" He yelled. We made out way into the the abandoned army base.

We ran to the radio tower.

"Building a sentry and Despencer!" I yelled. I made a Level Three Sentry as BLU Demoman used the radio to link the radios together.

Bill's POV Everyone was having a talk about how we can look for Claire.

"Ok, Pyro you'll take the front along with Heavy, Spy you can take the Left with me and Engineer-" Cory planned.

"RED Team! Come in ya red pansies!" A voice yelled. I looked at RED Demoman because it sounded like his voice.

"I said nothin." He said.

"Uh, BLU team is that you?" Scout asked.

"Yes it's us. Listen, is a boy named Bill there. Put him up!" BLU Demoman yelled.

Claire's POV "One, two, three, four, five...Come on you two line up the heads." I whispered as I aimed my sniper rifle. The zombies heads lined up for a second and I shot. It blew both of their heads off.

"Nice one Claire." BLU Sniper said.

"Thanks." I replied.

"GUYS! THEY'RE ON THE RADIO! THE RED TEAM'S ON THE RADIO!" Scott yelled. We all rushed down.

"Ok, I'm on the radio, how'd you know my name?" A voice that belonged to the only one person I knew was my older brother.

"Bill it's me! I'm ok!" I yelled into the radio.

"CLAIRE? I'M SO GLAD YOUR OK!" Bill yelled.

"I got here cause a Tank punched me to the other side of the cliff." I explained.

"Are you ok?" Bill asked.

"Yeah, the BLU team saved me. They have a Medic!" I replied.

"We do too." Bill replied.

"That's great. Where do we meet?" Bill asked.

"Hold on Claire. I need to speak to the RED Spy." Scout's mom said. I handed her the radio.

Bill's POV

"Oh, Spy~~" A woman voice said.

"Give it here!" RED Spy took my radio calling thing from my hand.

"Spy!" I yelled.

"We are stratigizing. Ma Petite Chou-fleur-" He began speaking in French.

"Amy, you took French what is he saying?" Ron asked.

"He's saying...Never mind, I'm going to bed." Amy began but stopped.

"Come Amy tell us!" Josh pleaded.

"You guys sure you wanna know?" Amy asked.

"Yes please." Al commented. She gestured her hand for them to come closer. She whispered into their ears

and their faces dropped. They all muttered they were going to bed.

"It's best you do, the adults will stratgize. You kids rest." RED Engineer said. I nodded, but I still wanted to

talk to my sister. I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Mis moing ro mi malmight." RED Pyro said, she gave me a thumbs up. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up right back.

Claire's POV I yawned as I listened to the adults talking.

"Guys I'm going to sleep. Night." I yawned.

"Night." They repeated. I went up to the room they gave me and laid down. I also thanked the Lord that

my friends and brother was still alive.

"Surprise." A voice whispered. An invisible hand covered my mouth, the person that was invisible opened my window and jumped out.

"Master will be pleased." It said.
