Thread: Surviving in Chaos. (Dies/Midnight)

Delta was getting closer to the source of the smoke, someone was here, the pungent scent of the burning wood was strong meaning it was fresh, seeing the blood stained walls around her start to get less thick she continued down the halls, checking each classroom for the smoke. Delta looked to the radio on her hip and sighed Possible stranded in the school, wait for my signal for pick up she whispered to Fix and Charge. She walked to the last classroom and raised her guns slowly. Looking at the door she walked slowly to the opening and looked inside, it was dark but the smoke was coming from here that was certain. Panning across the room before she stepped in, she looked for the signs of people, she eventually found one but she was careful not to come to assumptions, she stepped into the room quickly pointing her guns up at the figure in the corner, from her experience it was never a good idea to assume someone was a stranded, raiders liked to play these kinds of tricks, especially when the knew the group was going on their stranded rescue missions. Delta could smell the blood, it was old at least so she had come in contact with a fighter? maybe.. though she didn't have the gut feeling of a threat so this person was either very good, or very bad, She stepped forward into the room, her pistols raised to the legs of the figure, she would wound the person if anything should happen, she wasn't going to kill anyone besides raiders and traders. The electricity passing between them seemed smaller, Delta was confused usually when two people stared down each others guns their was more feeling in the air, something like death creeping around the two, but this was different, there was no death in the room just her and this person she wanted to save. Delta was slightly surprised by the words, not surprised that he spoke but the nervousness and fear in his voice, the tone was something like fear and hunger mixed into one, she looked at him and sighed softly looking at him and thinking of something to say, Lower your weapon, I am no enemy of yours she said looking at him but her pistols never wavered for a second. Delta's eyes we're locked on the boy, she would have to think of something to do, she would have to get him to comply with her and get him to Eden, that was the promise she made to herself when the stranded became much more prominent, people needed saving and Delta took it upon herself to save them all, some would say she was an angel, others called her a plague. She often wondered how people could be so hateful on someone when they we're saving people, perhaps the people who still saw God as a saving grace would say she should let God decide if they are to be saved. There we're other she had heard of, she hadn't seen them but someone had once told her she was their greatest enemy in the world, she was the white ray of hope in everyone's eyes, some wanted to make humans die and wither away. The adepts, she had heard the name, seen what they could do, she had hoped they would never get into Eden, there were to many living there. Delta looked at the boy, she was sure he was young, the figure underneath the duster and the way he held the gun, he had not gonna much practice from the position he was in, she waved the thought she would never make a rash assumption like that again, in her mind, he could shoot like Shot, and that meant he could hit a pin at 400 yards. A long time ago Delta has made a poor assumption, though that man was long gone she did learn things, she learned what it meant to be a leader, how she had to want to save these people to be able to do it. She did want that, more than anything, she just wanted to be able to help the people of the world, nothing made more sense than that. Delta looked down to the boy and lower one of her pistols, she wasn't going to waste the ammo if she only needed one bullet if he attacked. Delta looked at the boy and sighed when he spoke, looking at him she smiled You fucking shoot me and there will be hell to pay kid she said walking forward and smiling My name is Mother child i'm here to take you to Eden, you can be safe she said getting to his eye level and smiling, even though he couldn't see she had lowered herself, Delta looked at him and put her gun on the floor Let's go Reapers will come soon she said looking at the boy she waited for him looking at where she saw the bandaged eyes, maybe he was a sound sniper, Shot told her some use only their hearing to shoot, she looked at him smiling, not once did it cross her mind he was blind, much less that traders and Adepts were after him. If they came she would have a high death probability, she hadn't fought more than 3 by herself and even then she hadn't escaped unharmed. Delta looked to the boy and smiled as she reached for her radio and heard Fix's voice Del!!, There's traders about 10 or more, Shot is picking off as many as he can but they'll get to the school with at least 7 or more Delta looked up to the door and picked up her pistol, looking to the boy she grinned, You better be able to shoot we've got company she said walking to the door, unknowing to the fact she just did exactly what Fox did when he left. Delta moved a table to the hallway, the door was a straight shot but there was a lot of overturned tables in the hall, she pushed hers against the wall and sat behind it waiting for the firefight that was to come.
