Chapter 15
"Wake up," A small voice in my head said. "Wake up."
I ignored it, must be morning or something, but I don't have to get up till late in the afternoon. I turned over in my sleep and sank deeper in.
"Hey get up." The voice came again, it was becoming harder and harder to ignore.
I rolled to the other side and put my pillow over my head. "That won't help you," The voice taunted. "It's time to get up."
"I dun wanna…" I mumbled and put the covers over my head.
"Alright then, don't blame me for this." Then a skull splitting screech echoes in my ears.
"ALRIGHT, What do you want?" I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes.
"Morning sunshine." I finally recognized the voice as Kayla's
"What the hell was that?" I asked to the empty air.
"That, was one of the many sounds I can play to your ear. Matt got some micro-headsets for us. It small enough so you don't know its' there. This way, Christy and I can communicate with you guys."
"There's a camera in here…" I rubbed my eyes some more then scratched my head. "Where's the goddamn camera…" I looked around and spotted it. I'd have to avoid it in the future. I got out of bed and put a shirt on.
The girls started giggling and I realized why when I looked down. "What? It's morning, not my fault."
I went to the bathroom and took a shower, when I went to the kitchen, the two girls were there having breakfast. Julie made the food so I felt safe eating it.
"Morning Danny." Christy said cheerfully.
"Mmm…Yeah, morning." I rubbed my chin, it felt a little coarse, maybe I'll have to shave soon, damn I hate shaving. I poured myself some orange juice and grabbed a piece of toast. I picked up a few pieces of bacon, put them on my toast and made a bacon sandwich.
"Why can't you eat them separate like normal people?" Kayla asked as she bit into her toast.
"What? It's faster this way." I ate my food and went into the den again, Matt and Julie were already there. "So, what's up?"
"Just going over the plans for our defense." Matt had a blueprint of the house on the coffee table. "Does the headset work?"
"Too damn well." I sat down next to Julie and started listening to Matt talk. Soon I got bored and felt my drowsiness come back, I fell asleep as Matt kept talking.
"DANNY!" Someone screamed right by my ear.
"I'm Awake!" I snapped open my eyes and realized that I was looking right down Julie's shirt, I had fallen asleep on her shoulder. I turned my head and smiled sheepishly at Christy. "Morning eh?"
"Yeah, Morning." Christy was tapping her foot and had her hands on her hips. I was in trouble.
I got up and gave her a quick kiss, "Morning Sweetie." And left the den in haste.
Matt laughed and Julie shrugged. "Kinda makes you mad hun?" Matt said when he caught his breath.
"More than kinda." Christy sat down and listened to Matt talk some more.
I passed Kayla on my way out of then den, she smiled and I gave her a quick kiss too. "Matt's talking about our plans for defending ourselves in there, major boring stuff."
"Well, we should listen you know? He spent a lot of time coming up with a plan, the least we can do is to listen to him." Kayla smiled again and went into the den, leaving me the only one not in there.
"DANNY!"
"I'm Awake!" I snapped my eyes open again and I was looking at Christy's angry face. I wish she was like Mr. Potato, then I can switch her angry face with her happy face when ever I wanted.
"How much do you sleep?!" She grabbed my shirt and dragged me off of my bed, wow she was pretty strong.
"Quite a lot." I tried to get her hands off of my shirt but she had an iron grip on them. So instead I slipped out of my shirt and fell back onto my bed. A second later I was asleep again.
"You know what? I don't care anymore. You're hopeless." Christy stomped out of my room and I rolled over.
"Hey." A quite voice whispered. "You have to get up."
"Five more minutes Christy." Wait a second, Christy only yells at me. "I mean Kayla."
"We don't have time, their attacking us now."
I sat up and grabbed my shirt. I grabbed my gun and took some spare clips with me.
"We're having a quick meeting in the den. Come on." Kayla lead me into the den where everyone was already waiting. Christy had her arms crossed and flashed me an angry look.
"Alright now that we're all here. Let's go over the plan." Matt unfurled the blueprint.
"You lost me at 'Plan' Matty, but I was one-hundred percent when you said sleep."
"When did I say sleep?"
"Oh, must've imagined it." Oh well, I sat beside Christy and tried to put my arm around her. She raised her left hand and branded her nails, I quickly moved my arm out of her scratching range.
"Well, anyways. Christy and Kayla will both be in the control room and Julie will be inside as a guard for them. Danny and I will be in the house, trying to keep them out. Easy?"
"No, not really." I said. Christy was still being cold to me.
"Let's move." Matt picked up his gun, a Smg and I picked up my pistol. I looked at his Smg then at my pistol and frowned.
"Dammit, how come I don't get one of those?" I asked Matt.
"You were sleeping." Matt laughed and moved to the front door. I followed him and flipped over the table in there. We used it as a shield. I heard the sounds of a few cars approaching and then doors opening and closing. I assumed the footsteps were those of our enemies. Time to get the show started.
"There's about fifteen of them coming to the front door, four are going to the back, and six are going to the left side." Kayla's voice spoke through our headsets.
"Fifteen of them…" I have to admit I was a bit worried but it seems like Matt had an idea.
"Not a problem." He walked over to the door and I watched him. His hands reached into his shirt and I heard something clink on the floor.
Before I knew what was happening Matt had tossed a grenade into my hands. I looked down and saw something was missing, then I looked around Matt's feet and saw a pin there. I looked up into his face and he was grinning. He opened our front door and I threw the grenade out on instinct. He quickly closed the door and dived back behind our shield. I heard an explosion outside the moment our door closed and the explosion was followed by screams. Our door shattered too and pieces of wood flew at us, one piece struck through our table/shield right between Matt and I.
"Never, do that again." I was pumped up with so much adrenaline that my hands could barely hold my gun.
"Why not? Makes things more interesting don't it?"
"Dude, never again."
"Fine…You're no fun." Matt grabbed his gun and sprinted to the back of the house. "I'll take care of things back here, you do what Kayla or Christy tells you to."
"Danny go to hell." I heard Christy's voice over the headset. Apparently she was still mad at me.
"After this, if I live, I'll go where ever you want me to go. But for now, I think I gotta stay here." I ran to the side of the house and looked for the six people that Kayla said were there.
I spotted them climbing up to the balcony and I sent a bullet each to them, I missed two of them and they fired back. One of their shots grazed my left arm and left a thin streak of blood and a little bit of burnt skin.
"You mother fucker." I send six more bullets, one for one guy and five for the other. "Damn that's gonna sting tomorrow." I went back inside and waited for further instructions.
"Danny you got eight more coming to the right side and three more to the front."
I ran to the other side of the house and by the time I got there, there were two guys already inside I shot at them from around the corner. It took a while to kill all eight like that but I eventually did, in the process one of them shot me in my left arm again. This time it wasn't a graze. I went into the kitchen and grabbed some salt. I tried to stifle my scream when I put the salt on to disinfect the wound.
I suddenly realized that there should be three more at the front I ran there as fast as I can almost tripping over a chair. When I got to the front, no one was there.
"Kayla I think there are a few inside the house. I missed the three at the front."
"I don't see anything…but there's two more cars coming at the front. I count…four in each car."
"Hey, ask Matt where he keeps his grenades."
"Ok…" Kayla asked Matt about it then relayed the message to me. "He says in the closet next to the umbrellas."
"What...the…fuck?" That's a strange place to keep grenades but I don't have time now to wonder about it. I ripped the closet open and threw the umbrellas aside, I picked up four grenades and went to the front door. I pulled the pin on two and threw them at one of the cars. One of the grenades bounced off the hood and exploded in midair, shattering the windshield. The other bounced under the car and flipped the car over when it exploded. Shortly after four men dived out. I pulled the pin on another grenade and aimed my throw at the other car. This time I got it inside the car through one of the open windows and the car went up in blazes. With my last grenade I threw it at the four approaching me and then used the explosion as cover to shoot at them. I ran out of bullets when I shot three of them, and in my mind I counted. Six and then six more and now three and that equals FUCK!. I reloaded quickly and shot at the one remaining. My first four shots missed and I didn't have time to shoot a fifth time, he shot at me with his shotgun and I dived away. A few pieces of the shell caught my legs and left a few cuts. Thankfully nothing major.
"Dammit die." I stood up on my shaky legs and realized that they were hurt more than I though they were. I waited for him to come in but he wasn't stupid he shot at the wall that I was hiding behind and I barely had time to dive away again but this time I dived towards the doorway and in mid flight I aimed and fired my fifth shot. I'd say it was skill but probably everyone else would say it was luck, I got him dead center on his forehead.
"Ok…That was unpleasant." I brushed my self off and looked at my legs. They'd probably heal ok in a few days or maybe a week or so. "Are there anymore Kayla?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"Right behind me." I heard a gun cock in my head set.
