Chapter Three: Deunan

Tommy and I leaped over the sandbags. I took out the extra scope and looked around. Nothing, so far, so good. Wait?! What was that? I could barely hear

it. The pitter-patter of feet I nudged Tommy. "You hear that?" I asked. "Hear what?" he replied impatiently. "There!" I hissed. Silence. Then, 'ping' 'ping'.

Tommy screamed, "Grenade!" Tommy quick as a flash threw himself on the grenade and hugged it. I barely had time to realize what was going on before-

BAM!! The grenade exploded and Tommy's corpse thudded to the ground a couple feet away with a wet smack. I tried to move my left arm. Nothing. That's

when I looked down and realized, I had no left arm. Tommy had saved me but I had lost an arm. A fucking arm!

I hoisted myself up with the sniper and fired into the direction the grenade came from. I yelled in anger as smoke grenades were tossed in the path and

smoke obscured my vision. "Come on you bitches!", I screamed, "You killed my friend, now pay bastards!! I'll kill you". I heard the pitter-patter again. I

was getting pissed off at the sound. I screamed, "Stop running and fight me! You fuckers are going to pay!"

Then, A dark, long haired man with a ponytail, and a woman with an unruly head of dirty blond hair jumped over the sandbags. Quick as a flash, the man

whipped the sniper out of my hands. Then, pulled a pistol on me. "Come on fucker! Kill me!" I yelled. "I will if you don't shut up." , said the man,

"In fact, I just might." "No!" ,the woman said , "You can't just kill a guy with no arm, and down!" "Yeah, tell him bitch", I said.

She looked at me with disapproval. She took out a med kit and said, "Look, stop I'm going to try and help you? Can I do that?"

"Fuck that in the ass", I said, "You're gonna give me some fucking poison or something." She said nothing but held my right arm firmly, then injected

something into it. Before I passed out I asked groggily, "Who are you?" The woman merely said, "Deunan"
