Thread: Surviving in Chaos. (Dies/Midnight)

Delta sat still against her makeshift cover, the decaying wooden desk wouldn't serve well for long, hearing the hurried footsteps of the traders entering the school she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, hearing the shouting she held a small laugh knowing they were shaken from the carnage Shot was creating. Looking to her new companion she smiled and held her pistols tightly, counting in her head slowly as she blocked out everything negative her mind wanted to throw at her. As the first trader went down fast she smiled and lent up from the cover as the second was wounded by the boy's shot, see the trader left standing she felt the emotion she had expected when she encountered the boy, the world vanished between the trader and her, staring down each others guns seeing the ghostly visage of death looming behind them. Delta's finger squeezed first, the loud bang and continued ringing filled her void, then came the thud, her target was dead 1 down she said listening for any indication of the numbers they were facing. Delta looked to crow for a moment, his shots were fairly accurate, surprising for a young boy like him, hearing the loud pumping of the shotgun she lent back behind the table as her ally yelled, her heartbeat moved into overdrive, again the feeling of death crept over her, a feeling she got whenever she had to fight. Hearing the two shots and the thud of the man she breathe a sigh of relief, the steps started to die down, a few left now. Delta lent back up from cover and quickly bullets sped past her, ducking behind the table again she at least got there locations, one behind the rotting bench and one in the doorway. Breathing slowly she rose again, firing four shots, she hit the first behind the bench in the skull, just behind the ear while he was shouting to his ally, the second was much more sloppy, her first shot missed, the second and third directly to the chest. If she was going to stop and check for life, he wouldn't have survived her attack. Leaning against the table she sighed Still breathing she said smiling as she waited for any sounds, picking up her radio she issued one command All clear, Pick up now, one passenger. Delta stood slowly, reloading her pistols slowly as she checked the corners for more traders, looking to the boy she smiled as she lent down to one of the traders and taking a ruck sack they were carrying, Take the ones you killed, we need ammo, weapons and anything useful she said slowly handing him the rucksack and moving to the three she had killed, filling her bag with their weapons, ammo and anything they could use she stood holstering her pistols and holding her hand to the boy, snapping her fingers as to tell him to get it in gear. Leading the boy down the halls of the school she get his hand in hers, making sure she wouldn't lose him. Delta checked the corners of each corridor they passed, nothing was going to complicate this rescue any further. Hearing the familiar sounds of their vehicles and Fix's gossip about what she would do when she got home. Smiling she stepped outside and looked to the trail of traders corpses leading towards the school, giving a thumbs up to shot sitting on top of their truck with his sniper at the ready. Leaning down and doing a once over on the boy to make sure he wasn't hurt she smiled Now, whats your name? she asked smiling, as they setup to leave with the newly acquired information about the boy she looked around He can ride with me to Eden, I'll give him the spare bunk in my place till we can find a suitable bed for him she said pulling their spoils of war into Charge's truck, Fix sitting in the passengers seat putting the town on their map of searched places. Delta stretched in the moments before she headed for the bike Ok guys pack it up, home time she said looking at Crow and smiling Eden awaits she said as the rest of them started packing up their things, The everything went wrong, time froze around the group as a terrifying screech crossed the town, Delta looked towards the dunes to were it came from, the first words she could say were EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, Delta didn't think past that, her actions foggy as she pushed Crow into Charge and they took him in with them. Pulling herself onto the bike she took another look to the dunes as a chill ran up her spine. There stood the things no one wanted to see this close, standing tall on its boned legs a reaper and by the looks a female, the blackened skin, boned limbs and the scythe like arm that could tear them to pieces. Delta looked at Fix and nodded as they all took off towards the towns exit. The reaper could keep up probably even outrun them. With the precious fuel they had they couldn't floor it out of there. Delta at the side of Charge's truck caught eyes with Crow, they had just saved him from the impossible and now death itself was chasing them, Her mind thought of something to do, many ideas and all seemed to end in a gruesome fate. Looking back to her squad her voice wold come over each of their radios in the vehicles, Take the path to Eden, at the dead tree up ahead I'll distract it, i love you guys, don't fail me. it cut off then, She hit her brakes falling behind the group as everyone caught as many looks at her as they could. Delta looked up and smiled, her Mother personality smile, warm and caring as she turned her bike to face the oncoming Reaper. Pulling one of her pistols she held it towards the face of the reaper and fired, the shot bounced off the hard bone like a fly but it did what she wanted, a split second later another loud screech and it was after her. Delta spun her bike sand kicking into the air as she ran from the thing chasing her, nothing would kill it that they knew off, their bones stronger than metal, she could only hope to lose it in the wide expanse ahead of her, she would try her hardest even if she died, her mission was a success saving Crow that what she wanted to do and now she was living the bad part of the job. The radios of the Angels were alive, Fix was crying into her knees, Charge was attempting to drive and keep and eye on Crow, Shot and track were yelling over the radio at how stupid Delta was. They reached Eden before sunset, Fix still crying as she left to the fortified city, Charge took everything in and led Crow with him as Shot and Track went to go warn the watchmen Mother was still out their fighting off a Reaper. Meeting in Delta's house in the hours to come the air was still Its almost dark, what if sh... Shut you mouth, the small outburst was a shock, everyone looked to Fix rocking on the bed holding Delta's only stuffed animal left from the old world She'll be back, she has to come back. The silence continued after that for a few more hours. Fuck off you bastard! the shouting wasn't encouraging, before the sun had set the reaper still trailed her. Entering a small town Delta swerved in and out of Allys and backstreets, eventually backtracking to the entrance and gunning it as fast as she could in the direction of Eden, her eyes shifting from the road ahead and for the Reaper behind her, Nothing came after her for awhile, she smiled and sighed as she sped towards her home, the large shadow coming up in the night. Pulling her goggles around her neck as she stepped off her bike in the garage she knocked on the door into the city W..Who is it? a nervous voice asked, Mother has returned to her children she said softly holding her right arm now she her adrenaline had stopped she noticed the gash the reaper had dug taking a swing at her. Quickly she entered the city and smiled heading to her house tying her bandanna around her injured arm. Opening the door she walked in slowly seeing many sets of eyes staring at her Its like you guys have seen a ghost she said standing still and smiling Miss me much? she asked jokingly as a barrage of shouts from her friends, stemming from her stupid and reckless decision.
