Human Experimentation: Redux: The Fire is Starting

*\///*

Greg sat up with his back to Amy's as they watched the only direction that faced the group, they were sitting in the corner, everyone asleep almost at the end of their shift.

"This sure is a hell of a mess," Greg looked over at everyone sleeping and back to Amy, "Life's been dissolved, and yet here I've got my two best friends and am wondering how the fuck I'm not dead."

Amy giggled, and softly stroked his arm, "I know why." Her breath got a little raspy and filled with the air of someone with something heavy on their chest, "You're made for this sort of stuff. You could probably stare down zombies while wielding some sharp metal stick, and you have the charisma to probably handle two girlfriends if you had em. You were put here due to ungodly circumstances but you've gotten through it because you can see that silver lining somewhere out there."

Greg's mouth dropped, "Woah... Is that what you really think Amy?"

She just smiled and nodded, then got a grave looking face on.

"Amy?" Greg asked seeing the look. "What's the matter?"

Amy lifted her arm and screamed; Greg followed her finger and saw the outlines of people. His eyes wandered around and he saw one of the figures holding a gun like Chloe's. Then the world slowed and a burst of three bullets launched themselves from the muzzle of the gun.

The bullets were seen by Greg and he thought they were coming toward him, but the reality of it was that the bullets were hurtling themselves toward Amy. The death bringing points of lead finally closed the gap between themselves and Amy, and collided with her body. Two of the three bullets collided with her shoulder, and the other went for her head.

Her body hit the floor and went silent, while Greg looked on in horror filled status. His eyes watered over and he didn't see the same silhouette raise the rifle and adjust ever so slightly. Then there were two more gunshots, but they were closer to Greg than the original firing position.

Greg looked up to see where the gunshots came from and he saw Chloe, on one knee firing like an expert at the enemy figures. Greg looked out toward the silhouettes and saw that there were two figures slumped over on the ground, and the other seven were all running scattered.

Greg didn't notice but there was a set of hands extended by his arms, and it grabbed him from underneath his armpits, and pulled him up to standing position. "Chloe says that those two down were the only two with guns. Fiad, Skaroth, do you two think you can kill another being again or no. Because, to save us all from death, we'll need you to kill again."

Fiad looked at Isaac and nodded, while Skaroth looked toward Fiad. Fiad brought his hand down onto Skaroth's shoulder and nodded while smiling, Skaroth looked at the slumped form of Amy and looked toward the Silhouettes and growled. John stood by Fiad and looked at Skaroth, grinning like a mad beast, ready to hurt someone.

At this point Chloe started to fire at will, but with most of the shots ending in misses, as the silhouettes kept running around. "Isaac, I'm almost out of bullets, or so the gun says by this little gauge here so I'm going to have to stop firing at those... people."

Isaac tilted his head and looked toward Greg, "That's alright Chloe, but this means we'll have to fight hand to hand."

Chloe accepted this and looked toward Greg, "Think he'll be ok?" She asked through her thought speak.

"I don't know, and if he isn't that's understandable. I just feel like this shouldn't be the end of Amy though." Isaac said while looking over at her form, "We do need to kill these assholes before our emotions get the better of us and we die pointlessly, though."

Isaac looked at the silhouettes, "I'd say they're about a hundred and fifty feet off, so we gotta start running toward them. They can't get those guns again*

Isaac, John, Chloe, Fiad, and Skaroth all looked at one another and nodded, then back to Greg. They looked back at Amy's form and wept inwardly, but decided they needed to get the fight going. Chloe was on the verge of tears as she looked at her sister but then Isaac's hand clamped on her shoulder and he motioned for them to start running toward the attackers. She nodded and the four took off, leaving Haiden, Greg, and Amy.

Haiden finally walked forward after staying back a bit from the group, and knelt by Greg, who had slumped back down to his knees and was crying over the form of Amy, "Greg.." She said in barely a whisper, "Don't cry, I know you wish to but you need to be strong for Amy."

Haiden came down and hugged Greg from behind, and his body tensed. His body was racked by sobs and then he pushed Haiden off making her land softly on her backside. "I know I need to be strong for Amy!" Greg stood up fast and walked a short distance away, and his sobs continued, "But to have someone's life taken right next to you... How can you be strong!?"

Haiden looked and him then at the ground, "I-I- I don't know..."

Greg kicked a box and it went flying, spreading the contents out onto the floor, and leaving him with his thoughts.

Ok so, this is where I stop this chapter for the moment, and don't any of you get mad yet! I got stuff hidden in my sleeve that'll be shown next part of this chapter.

So this is part one of Redux 5! I've got to work on the battle scene a bit more so that's why it's being posted in two parts this time.
