Citizenship Revoked: Chapter one
This is a story about a character I am writing, I was hoping I could update it once in a while and maybe give you guys some entertainment, while in a way, kind of telling the story of my character from a different perspective than a log. So please, sit back and enjoy the first chapter parts of Citizenship Revoked as I tell the story of Sarah Williams, a citizen trying to survive in this vast world known as the HL2 universe, and please bear with me. My grammar is not perfect.
DISCLAIMER: This was originally made for GRP's (Genesis Roleplay's HL2RP).
Part One: Wake up
Thump, Thump, Thump! Sarah awoke instantly from her dark, cold, sleep. She knew the noise, and it meant bad news, as her door sprang open and multiple figures stormed in with their 10.000 volt emitting steel batons, all she could do was to drop to the floor. They ransacked her whole aparment, and dragged a man away, Sarah only realized it was Jonathan when he screamed in pain, she could only keep her eyes closed, she could not bare watching it happen again. And then, as the loud gunshot emerged from the hallway, everything went silent.
She slowly opened her eyes... Everything was blurry, where was she, a distant voice said. "Hey, lie still."
Sarah was confused; all she remembered was the cold, hard, steel stunstick hitting her face. As she straightened herself, she could now see the person that had talked to her, a man in his early thirties with dark black hair, brown eyes and a greeting face, he spoke with a Asian ring to his voice. Everything got clearer, and she remembered how she had jumped off the large train going to City Eight, only then did Sarah realize where she was, there were trees all over.
When she jumped off the train she must have landed badly and hit her head, strangely enough her head was bandaged and she was leaning opon a tree. The man was kneeling in front of her, "I... Uh" he looked away as the words came out, everything was still a bit blurry, "...Found you here, ten minutes ago, your head was bleeding pretty bad but I managed to stop the bleeding for now." Sarah nodded slowly.
"Whe- Where are we?" she mumbled.
The man replied after a few seconds "In the outlands, just outside of City Eight, you're lucky I found you, how did you even end up here?" he looked at her, he was wearing some sort of uniform, she remembered it, it had a armband with a red plus on it.
She replied "I... I jumped off, the train I mean" he made a rather surprised expression.
"The train? Thats miles from here!" as she was about to reply when they heard distant beeping noises and voices, slowly coming closer, The Combine. It seemed they both knew what it was, and what to do. They got up, and ran. The soldiers strolled past them, not noticing Sarah and the man hiding in a bush. They carried the standard AR2's, combine technology made from human technology combined with theirs, she could remember the times she had been shot at, the dark energy projectiles flying everywhere, you could clearly see and hear that this was the combine soldiers, or as the combine would call it, Overwatch soldiers. After the patrol had passed through, Sarah and the man could finally ease off a bit.
He whispered that they needed to go, get back to safety, she agreed and they snuck off.
After walking for a bit, she broke the silence "So, whats your name?"
He replied instantly "Tony Miller, medical officer in the Brotherhood" he coughed, "who might you be miss?"
Sarah replied that she was just a refugee coming in from City Fourteen and that he could call her Star.
"Okay then 'Star' we are heading to a refugee station north of the traintracks, there we can get some rest and you can get your wound treated" he replied.
She said nodded and they remained silent for the rest of the walk there, when they arrived though, it was via a hidden door, if she had not been with Tony she would proabably have missed it. as they walked down the narrow dim-lit halls and reached what the refugee's called Station Fifteen, it consisted of a series of tunnels and underground passages that had been abandoned after the war.
After she had been given a tour of the refugee camp, Tony treated her wounds and she was assigned a temporary bed and a room where she could sleep, before she left for her room he handed her a bottle. Sarah could feel she was tired after the events, escaping from a train isn't easy, and not fun either, so she decided to take a nap, lying down on the soft matress on the bed she slowly faded from reality, and fell asleep...
