Chapter 1: St Petersburg
Silence. It is the only thing I have with me. Apart from the distance cry of crickets and the crunching of gravel beneath my feet, everything was silent; and I was sick of it. For weeks now I have been on my own, surviving on my own, living on my own. But how could you call this living?! You couldn't. Because it wasn't. It was the year 2014, was it almost 2015 yet? God, I didn't know. Nobody had anytime to remember what day it was as they were to busy fighting for their lives...! That is if there is anyone left... Apart from the Glitchers. Anybody human...
It was August 2013 when they first came to Earth. They offered us new technology and weapons, ways to keep the planet stable and alive. Almost everyone loved them, while others were wary and unsure. Those were the people who were correct. When the government put their trust in them, that's when they decided to attack; when humanity was at its weakest. We call them Glitchers as they have the technology to teleport from place to place, leaving behind sparks and have weapon that can shock and electrocute us. They Glitch. Ample as that. They also have these creatures they brought with them. We call them Trackers as they are fats and are brilliant at tracking. Simple nicknames for them but quite efficient. Trackers are also the ugliest things I have ever seen.
I sighed and stopped for a moment; pulling out a bottle of water. I took a long sip and put it back in my backpack. I picked up my rifle and carried on walking. I wasn't sure where I was. When they first came I had just been visiting the States with my family on holiday. I wish I was back in England... Maybe it wasn't that bad over there? Oh, who was I kidding?! The whole world is screwed and there is most likely only a handful of people still alive! I kicked a stone with my foot and carried on walking.
Walking and walking down the long highway. Never ending highway... Great. Now I am going crazy! Suddenly I saw something in the distance. It looked like a car... Yes! It was a car! I picked up the speed and clutched onto my rifle tighter. I soon reached the car, panting ever so slightly. I held my gun out ready to shoot - just in case. The car was abandoned. I looked inside and saw a pair of keys! Oh, someone was watching over me today! I grabbed the keys and put them into the ignition. I quickly drove off down the highway grinning happily. I even found a CD player in the radio! I pressed play to see what type of music the previous owner of this car liked.
"You don't know, oh oh,
You don't know your beauti-"
I yelped and turned off the CD and sat back. No! No One Direction! Never! I took the CD out and chucked it out of the window. I laughed and look to see if there was any other CD's about. I found one. Night Visions by Imagine Dragons. Now this, was some good music! I put it in and went to my favourite song on the CD; Radioactive! I sang along as I drove and for once, I actually felt a little happy. But I was still alone...
I had found a city. I had literally just pulled up and exited my car and went to look around. Would this place be completely deserted like the last place I found? Most likely. I picked up my backpack and rifle, slinging the back pack over my my shoulder and holding onto my rifle, I ventured into the city.
Rubble and debris was everywhere. This city - which I'm guessing was once a standing magnificent concrete jungle - is now an old forgotten place... It was just ruins here... I sighed and walked into a budding that looked like it was once a shop of some sorts. I came out ten minutes later on to have found two rotten bodies and a can of beans. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.
I walked round for an hour more, finding nothing. But I did discover where I was. St Petersburg. I wasn't that far from Tampa then. And it was so freaking hot here! I wiped my brow and took a sip of water before carrying on again. As I was walking along, a horrible ear splitting cry erupted and echoed thought out the city. Above me, birds suddenly took flight and left. I cursed and ducked behind the shelter of an old and abandoned car. I held onto my rifle closely, and readied it in case any Glitchers appeared. I could feel a bead of sweat run down my temple and my heart was pounding like a bloody orchestra of drums.
I felt myself freeze in terror as suddenly, a Glitcher glitched itself into the middle of the street. I held my breath, not daring to move. It made that horrible clicking sound as it look around, static shimmering round it's body along with a horrible green missed that was full some sort of poison. Suddenly, it glitches out again and it was gone. I sighed and let out the breath I was holding. I got up and quickly began to move. Not long after I had begun to move again, another cry echoed out and I turned to see a small pack of Glitchers.
"Oh shit!" I muttered to myself and began to run.
I ran as fast as I could, I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins; the sound of the Glitchers catching up to me. I turned quickly, pulling it my pistol and shooting at them. I saw one go down with a pained filled cry but I didn't feel any remorse. I had lost that feeling a long time ago. There was still five of them after me. I cursed under my breath and ran. I suddenly remembered something. Not too long ago, I had found a dead soldier - which is a little depressing - but he had a grenade on him. I took it out of my pocket and pulled the pin, and launched it towards the pack of aliens. It took down one of them and the rest of them seemed stunned and confused for a moment. That gave me a chance to run into an old derelict building and hide.
I was crouched down by a wall, panting ever so slightly, with my rifle at the ready. There was a chance I wasn't getting out of this alive. Yeah, most likely not. I wish I had a drink here right now. Vodka sounds nice... I sighed and shook the thought out of my head. Suddenly, the room above me collapsed and Glitcher fell through, standing there snarling and growling at me. I yelled at it while I opened fire. Debris and rubble fell through with the Glitcher and suddenly something struck my head. I looked down to see the ground go slightly fuzzy. I put a hand on my head and felt warm liquid touch my fingertips. Ah shit...! I growled and held my gun ready for the next Glitcher to find me but things were starting to go really fuzzy for me.
This was it. I was going to die here. Slaughtered by Glitchers. At least I would be able to see my parents again... Maybe even see Jamie and Ellie again... I saw a Glitcher glitch into the room and I began to shoot at it but my strength and vision was flagging. I saw it fall down but another two glitches in. Wile they snarled and clicked at me, I looked down at my pistol. End it myself? Or give the Glitchers the honour of taking another human life. But I didn't even have the strength to raise my own gun to my own head! I looked up at the Glitchers hopelessly and waited for them to kill me. One of them raised its pulsed towards me but suddenly a bullet went through the side of its head and out the other side. The other Glitcher screamed and turned to look outside. Gunfire had erupted and the Glitchers began to attack the intruders.
Darkness was closing in on me... I was giving up... But just before I slipped into a black veil of sleep, I saw something run into the building I was in. It was a human. A girl... She had red hair and glasses. That was all I could make out before darkness over whelmed me...
