Thread: The End War

Matty stood there looking upon the recently fallen building, her pseudo-hospital, and shook her head. It was a shame. So much death, so much injury. And it was all so very avoidable. It pissed her off that no one had listened to her warnings. But she couldnt dwell on such things. Theyd made their decision and shed made hers. There was no turning back now. With slight reluctance, she turned away from the building, not even wanting to see if anyone survived the incident. She knew if she heard any sounds of life shed be compelled to stay. And she couldnt have that. Not now. As Matty slowly walked away from the scene, the dust and debris thick in the air, she coughed. Breathing in such air wasnt good. She needed to get as far away from the area as she could, for her healths sake, if not for anything else. Coughing and walking, she suddenly heard the sound of something beating against air. Like strange sounding drums hidden behind the clouds up high in the sky. She looked upwards, squinting, desperately trying to see what was making the sound. Suddenly, Matty gasped. She caught sight of the silhouette and knew damned well she needed to run, to hide. Anywhere. Immediately, her feet began to move and she started running down the road. Just then, her way was barred, causing her to have to stop dead in her tracks. Shit! Matty shouted. Matty looked up and saw the angel. She didnt know if it had seen her or not, but ultimately she didnt care. Regardless, she had to hide from it because eventually it would spot her. They always did. She then looked in front of her. A strange sort of vehicle definitely military of some sort was heading right for her, showing no signs of stopping. Trying not to panic, she began to let her mind race through her options. Unfortunately, given her situation, things were not looking good. Matty had nowhere to run. The vehicle was large and taking up the entire expanse of the road. There was nowhere to go except back in the direction shed come from. Damn it! Matty screamed as she turned around and headed back toward her pseudo-hospital. She looked up and saw the angel clearly now. It was flying lower. It had spotted her. Fuck me! Suddenly, the vehicle came to an abrupt halt, just barely in time, almost having crushed Matty right where she was. Thankful that the vehicle had at least stopped, but still fearful of the beast diving toward her, Matty just shouted out to anyone who would hear her cries. Just then, a turret atop the vehicle hissed and squealed as it turned. She looked over at it, her heart racing, hoping. It fired. And within moments the angel above her was gone and all that was left was the brief flash scorching the sky. Matty wanted to collapse right there in the road, but her instincts told her to keep it together. Just then, she heard a loud creak and saw the back of the vehicle opening up. A man stepped out from it, gun in hand, ready to fire at anything that crossed him. She stared at him, worry and fear in her eyes when he suddenly lowered his gun. Areare you hurt..? the man managed to get out. Matty blinked a few times, trying to process what had just happened. Yes, she said finally, telling herself to keep it together. That this was no different than dealing with the bad odds shed faced helping all the people she did back at her pseudo-hospital. Thanks for that, she added, looking up toward the sky. Tucking her blonde hair behind her ear, she approached the man and extended her hand. The names Matilda, but please her voice trailed. Call me Matty.
