I realize these first few chapters start off slow and sort of short but it's basically just character background. Its gonna get better I hope!
A couple hours later, judging by the sun about 6:30, everyone else starts waking up. Franco emerges from his house first, lighting up a smoke.
"Those things will kill you one day!" I shout. Franco looks up and jogs my way then climbs the ladder to sit beside me.
"Well might well die doing something I enjoy." he says with a smile. He has a gorgeous smile.
"What are you doing up here anyway? I thought my brother was supposed to be on watch tonight?"
I shrug. "Couldn't sleep. Besides I figured he should get some rest before going out on the run today. Wouldn't want him tired. Might get someone killed."
"Speaking of that" says Franco. "I have an idea to run by you. I was wondering if I could start teaching some of the other kids how too shoot. They're getting old enough to start pulling their own weight around here."
"I'll think about it. You should probably go get ready. George already gassed up the cars, all you need to do is get your gear."
Franco leans over and gives me a peck on the cheek. "Whatever you say darling." I can feel my face turning an embarassing shade of red. He chuckles then climbs down to get to work.
That boy. I don't know what I'm going to do about him. I turn around just as a biter stumbled out of the trees, taking it down with one well aimed shot.
well there's chapter 2! Leave me a review and let me know what you think so far. Thanks for reading!;
