Standing on a rooftop no longer proves fearful for me. I'm the newest angel and wings have removed all
fear of anything avian. It's always been my wish to fly, but now that i can i wish that I couldn't, The horror of
becoming an angel is something i remember much too well.
When You die, They take You to a "Hospital" They slice open th flesh in your shoulder blades and begin to
Insert the pieces of your wings, You're half deadfrom the time that they attach your first wing. And fully alive
by the second. After you're awake andfeeling everything, they begin to attach the real pieces of the wings.
Sewing onto the bones that they inserted in your skin. The pain is immense and you wish you could black out
But you know you can't sleep anymore because of what they've done to your head while you were dead.
With lower "ranks" of the gaurds angels, they modify the noise, ears, skin, and nails. They modify the skin for
the fraying process, and nail for the horrible shiv-like claws we're given for tearing apart the civalists...
The truely horrible thing is, Only Civalists are used for this process, That's why I was made, That's why
Jordan was made, and it's only getting worse, It seems like all gaurd control over angels has been completely broken.
I was able to escape the hospital and drop off Summer and her friends with more people from
Belle Meade. I found Destiny and Justin, Along with Griffin, Natalie, Thomas and Lily... They're not going to be "angelified".
I moved the bodies tomake sure. I put them inthe vending room. It's safe there.
When ifound them, I cried for each of them. I couldn't believe it..I even found Alex's Body, he had been angelified and
renamed as the second in command Ajax. This is why i say...Waking up for the first time...Sucks
When you become an angel they try to remove you from what you used to be by removing The one thing
has been with you your entire life. Your name. They remove your name and your "doctor" or your gaurd gets to pick
out a new one for you. My doctor chose my name just before
i died, I don't use it much..
I was thinking all of this, as i stood and looked at the town of Sperryville, standing as high as i could be, watching.
I could see angels and civalists and gaurds. All fighting each other, dropping, Dieing during the bloodshed of the
war that plagued this long dead town. And i knew what i had to do from than on.
I had to kill the gaurds, I had to elimanate the angels, All of them.
I have to make sure the world is reborn.
My name is Naoh
I used to be Noah
I Am an angel
I'm gonna end this.
Well there it is guys, The ending i've been hinting about for quite a while. It was nice to see people
getting all sad about the ending and saying there needs to be a sequel. Well you can't write a
sequel until your story is over can you? Saying that "The end" is coming in the next chapter can mean
alot of things, In this instance it meant "This is the end of Part 1 and there's more to come I'm just going
to take a break and write more before releasing"
Also to whoever won the challenge if anybody did to have this released before Wednesday. Congratulations
My dear friend. If I haven't already, maybe i won't kill you off.
--Jordan
Also a note to everyone i have killed in this series
Sadly for emotional impact it's alot better to kill main characters than it is to say kill our friend Jim
from chapter 2 or so. See Jim lived a normal life and we never knew Jim, So we don't care that he died
However lot's of people that we know for real have died some even twice. And that's that.
So to all that i killed off, I care for you. As my closest friends. But i'm still killing you off.
And for some, I'm killing you twice.

Chapter 10 Impurity
Impurity, There has been an Impurity in the race...The angel's have had some new form of creature join their ranks, We must ask swiftly to end them...
????'s POV
I opened my eyes for the first time today. Being born..It truely sucks, Being reborn that is. I remember every little bit of what i was put through to become the new breed of angel. And i know how this is going to end...
I stormed down the halls, murdering, slaying, freeing. Letting everyone who was imprisoned like me be free before they become like me and him. And I flew, I was free of the fraying effect I have absolutely no restrictions and i know the first thing I'm going to do...
I'm going to kill him..And the rest...
Justin's POV
"Well, I suppose this is the end then" I said with a hollowness in my voice I was never expecting to hear. Ofcourse i never thought i would see My own gun pointed into my face. And I never thought I would see the rest of the civalists of our school Murdered...
And I had to watch...And this is the end...
"You have Last words do you not?" He said, his mouth seeming to move out of sync with his words. "I do" I said "I can't believe you're ending it like thi-" And blackness took over all I could feel.
Destiny's POV
Her body fell next to mine..I only have enough time, to whisper something unintellagable as my eyes closed. The feeling of death is new and unexpected for me. The way that I died had been a mirror of how we met..A kick to my stomach and i was wounded, I couldn't move..Breath, I couldn't do anything.
I lie here on my Deathbed sadly. And there's nothing left to do but...die..
Jordan's POV
I Fear more humans may live, but i have taken all that I know. There's nothing more beautiful than a corpse in blood. The beautiful sheen of blood of the face of the young. There's nothing more satisfying. But sadly The hunt for the new angels have been unable to adjust. With out the growing effects the doctors gave them They cannot function. But with this new breed of angels I.. I don't know what to do.
Ajax's POV
Being the second in command wass great, killing everything that tried to escape that hospital. Not even one thing survived...Well one thing did, Not me ofcourse. I would never have the luck to live...That little bastard with the strange wings killed me...Way too quickly. there was nothing I could even do...
He's more devilish than our leader, Korzan...I thought there was nothing more frightening than Korzan...Sadly..I was wrong.

Recovery and Repair Chapter 9 - Angel
Angel. That's what i am! An Angel! I have wings, I'm am perfect, And I am lord.
Nothing shall stand above me. Nothing shall sit below me. I shall sit on a throne of my own kingdom. A Kingdom of Angels...
????'s PoV 1 hour after the first attack.
"Summer!...Summer!! Help!" It was the shrieking of a girl i had met here that woke me up.
Though there was no point in the waking. Infact waking was probabl worse for us both. She was being taken by "Doctors" as they're referred to. They're more like slaves of the gaurds.. I don't know what they do to people. But it's strange..All the people around me, Everyone mutalated in someway except for a mere 3 of us. Everyone else has extra limbs or is missing a limb, probably the "Doctors' make them trade something for another...
There's one man here whose obviously been here the longest, He has horrible Grotesque wings protruding from his shoulder blades, It pains him to move them, but he can move them. He has disgusting claws extending from the ends of his finger tips. Not long nails, but the tips of his fingers have had a bone like substance added to it to make them sharp.
The forementioned girls shrieks end, and there's a horrible splat, i look away as she's thrown back into the room, proved to be useless. The room consumes her and a terrible smell fills the air...This is our nurishment, I haven't eaten real food in 2 weeks, the bodies feed the room, The waste of the bodies feed us. I hate this...
Summer's PoV 6 Hours after the attack
I saw something, I don't want to believe today, Noah, being wheeled by on one of the gurneys. How many more are dead...I don't want to think about this.. I think it's time to talk to the old man...
Arkamidus PoV
My wife...My kids...My home, my job, my life. Everything ripped to shreds infront of me. I want revenge, I want these "Gaurds of Purity" destroyed. And so they die. In many ways, i was turning into one of them, a blood thirsty thrill seeker. Until the day I found the man who had killed my wife...And i couldn't believe it, There was my wife, Alive and well, feeding this horrible disgustingly fat man a slab of raw meat. She had glorius wings sprouting from her back, She resembled the angel that she was named for... She turned to me, and her smile. The familer curve of her lip, her soft skin, there was nothing i could do but cry, I stepped forward to her, extending a hand, and next thing i knew, I was pinned to a gurney, she was slicing into my back, at my shoulder blades, leaving deep gashes and 2 months later I awoke, I fought back, and i almost escape...But they did something to me, that activates what's called "The Fraying". My body began to fall apart as soon as I Disobeyed them and so i was locked up here, waiting...Today, A little girl spoke to me..I have no idea how old she is..But she wants to know what happened...I'll make it a bit less greusome when i explain what's going to happen to her friend that just passed by...
Nothing shall stand above me. Nothing shall sit below me. I shall sit on a throne of my own kingdom. A Kingdom of Angels...

Recovery and Repair Chapter 8 - Death
Death. It's something I can accept now, there's nothing else at the end of life but death. But for me for, I live on, i shall not die as long as others live I will as well...
????'s PoV 0:20 Minutes till the attack
I'm sitting, Perched above this room, This so called "safe house". They laugh and joke. They cry and smile. They all have something to be taken from them.
Wether it's their speed or their strength or even their intellect. They all have something to give, They won't expect me. They will fall, They will die, They will be Devoured
Noah's PoV 00:14:21 until the attack
I saw something weird today...I can't describe it, I don't even want to. But i know we need to be ready to fight. Some of us are faking a sense of being relaxed, but everyone is tense... We're all going to go crazy. But what the hell was that thing....
Destiny's Pov 00:02:34
This is funny, i repeat to myself, trying to keep myself happy and relaxed and calm as I panic.
I feel so scared, I've never felt anything like this, It feels like i'm going to explode, I was told that something has been watching us, and has killed someone and eaten him..They think he's going to attack and kill us, maybe even eat us...I Don't want to be eaten...I need to run. But first i need to laugh.. and stay happy..
Noah's PoV -00:00:48
We're doomed, we've all been wounded, I don't know whose going to survive...But i can't believe he did this to us...He...I...dead...Pain...
???? PoV
I woke up for the first time...In a long time today. In a room that's...horrifying...It's...Alive it breaths it eats it lives. I can't believe this. I just want to leave...me and Alexus and both stuck her and we can't get out...What's happening...Do i even want to know?...

Recovery and Repair Chapter 7 - Pain
Pain. More than i've Ever felt, it feels like fire, burning, ripping through my flesh even where I haven't been touched. My body is being shreddd rip apart, abused, forced and tortured. Why can i feel this. Why do i feel this. Why am I going through this. And when will it stop.
????'s Pov
I opened my eyes for the first time today. Being born is an amazing feeling, a shining feel, in a world of blood. I was given orders and i followed them, running flatout, reaching speeds no one can. My power breaking through and killing anything in my way. It's glorious to have this ability, but it comes with it's limitations. I can't disobey orders. If i disobey my body begins whats called "The Fraying Process" in which i start to come apart at the seems that hold me together...
I'm now 3 days old, and i've been given the order i've been waiting for. Kill the civalists.
I've killed one already, it was so satisfying to watch as they cried over the mangled body. I know where they are now. And so tomorrow it begins.
Noah's PoV
it's been 2 weeks since we ran from that camp. Kristiana Dee, Delaney David, Trevs, Thomas, Philip and Myself have been running since than, making our way back to The Vending Building. An affectionate nickname for such a disgusting place. When we finnally did make it back, we found the first survivors we'd seen in forever. Griffin, Justin, Naomi, Lily, Destiny and Natalie. That's also when i had heard...That he was dead. Jordan had died 2 weeks ago. I don't know what to feel...
????'s point of view 22 Hours Remain until the attack
I've got to run. This thing isn't human, no matter how much he looks like one, he isn't he's fast, he's deadly he's strong...He's my murderer..
???? 21:56 remains until the attack...
I didn't merely kill this young man, I devoured him, I feasted on his flesh and drank his blood as if it were nector from the gods. I gain his stregnth his amazing speed, his muscle power. And his knowledge. I tossed the man's clothes to the side, red and black shorts a black shirt, small bag, nothing of use in it, and i ran, much faster, know exactly where to go knowing exactly what to do.

Recovery and Repair Chapter 6
Just to let people know this opening is NOT Noah's PoV everytime i start a new chatper it resets to a default PoV.
Black. That's all i could see. Nothing more, nothing less... Why could i even see black I wondered. And why was it so cold. Why do I feel the cold, And what's going on. My thoughts were ever so rudely interupt by a shriek that i could only recognize as my own. But how could i shriek? I passed out soon after...
Noah's PoV
"Ow!" I naturally replied as we were thrown into a dark room with quite the hard stone wall. It wasn't so dark that i couldn't see and so i looked around. Instantly i closed my eyes, Anywhere there was a hole in the wall there was a decaying human body sticking head first into the room, filled with 11 to 13 year olds. I couldn't look around anymore just because of that. I knew Kristiana was still next to me and I didn't know exactly what else to look for, so it seemed best to just keep my eyes closed and wait.
2 Days passed and 19 children have been killed. The gaurds drop a small ammount of food from the top of the building into the center along with 2 weapons. They're allowed to kill anyone who goes for food should they so please. And naturally any of the kids who do kill are pulled out, offered the chance to become gaurds and if they say no, or try to fight BAM! One shot and it's over for them.
Most of the kids, the smart ones anyway, Tend to hang back at the walls, not wanting to charge right into that blood bath. Having gotten used to the rotting corpses by now(and realizeing how much it assissted the decor') I noticed 3 people who all looked familer, I had to stare at them for a while to see if it was really them. It was! It was Delaney David and Dee (alot of D's) I couldn't say anything, so i just continued to watch them, hoping they'd notice me, smiling for the first time in a long time.
Day 7 of being in here all those who are still alive are taken out. We're asked if we want to become gaurds. We all look at each other with fear(we had all met on day 4) one girl even bursting into tears. And that's when a miracle happened...
New PoV
"There's four of them, 350 to 380 feet away..." I said, brushing my now longer blonde hair out of my eyes and looking back at the others traveling with me. Trevs and Thomas, both armed with high powered CZ Ultimates (thank you google) with mixed emotions on their faces. "Think we can pull it off? I know i can hit two of them, but can you guys hit the others?" I asked looking at them curiously. Thomas turned to me "Ofcourse i can Phil, I'm not a fag like Trevs over there." To which Trevs pointed his rifle near Thomas's foot making him flinch. We lined up in order, Thomas Than Me than Trevs. Three shots fired, one missed, two more shots fired, both connected. Trevs looked over at Thomas smiling "Well, well, well, Thomas, what was that about getting the shot?" Thomas simplied glared at the ground, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Recovery and Repair Chapter 5
This is a chapter I had already written, but i edited it slightly, Making sure everything looked nice and seemed to fit where i want the story to go.
Enjoy
Nothing compares to the feeling of falling or jumping. The thrill and rush you feel as the wind pushes back against you almost like it doesn't want you. The feeling I have right now, doesn't compare to that in the slightest. No this is worse. Falling out of control, blood flashing infront of my eyes, pain striking between my ribs, no wind strong enough to reject this falling object. Why I was falling...I didn't know, I just fell and fell, Hitting blackness at the bottom...Never to rise.
You'd think i wouldn't have time to think of anything, Only time to think "Ah I'm falling!". But with adrenaline slowing everything down I had a last chance idea, I fired the pistol I took from Justin, the odd sound of the gun he would recognize and come quickly. I realized something else aswell, Quickly was much too late.
Justin's PoV
"Damn it!" I quickly cursed under my breath, not knowing what else to say. I had come across some other civalist, but the "gaurds". They found us all, even me. Griffin and I were both able to run away, unsure of our escape but we were close. Close to old vending machine when we heard it. A single shot from MY pistol being fired, and we knew what it meant. We forced our tired bodies to run as fast as they could in the direction of the shot, arriving at the alley between the buildings, at just the right time to hear and see exactly what happened.
He was falling. Falling fast, there was nothing we could do. He crashed against the ground, his bones break, his body bleeds, his head cracks, his spine shatters. The sound makes me sick and the view is even worse. There was nothing we could do... He's dead, The first of our group has died. And Jordan is never to rise again.
Destiny's PoV
By the time i was informed and ran there. The body was gone, just blood remained. I dropped to my knees as i realized it really happened. The rest of my group was back the Vending Machine. Tears filled my eyes and I couldn't move. Hours later when i did return and talk to everyone else. They told me that they never moved the body, But i wasn't really listening, i just went into the sleep room and passed out, not wanting to wake up anymore.
????'s PoV
I was tired of running, I had been running all day looking for anyone. And finally...Finally I had found someone. Curled up under a dirty blanket, the head hidden, i couldn't tell who it was, but was it worth it to find out who it was? If it's a gaurd i'm screwed, but if...If it's someone on my side. I drew the blade i had started carrying after this. It's not as much of a blade as a modifited curtan rod.(you know the old aluminum ones that are painted white and have the little hook on end?) And I pulled the blanket back quickly, and i nearly cried with joy to see a familer face, Kristiana was the one curled up under the blanket, holding a small purple pack to her stomach. She had woken up once i pulled the sheet away and she grabbed my ankle, making me fall to the ground. Than realization crossed her face and she hugged me. "Noah! It's so great to see you, it's great to see anyone!" I hugged her back. "How've you been, Kristana?" I asked realizing only than how thirsty i was because of the hoarseness of my voice. Luckily she had water and we were able to wait out until the next day.
The next day we moved on, Walking east, for a long time. Passing buildings, sneaking past gaurds. Looking for anyone, or anything that could help. We found nothing. Not for days, about the time we ran out of food and only had water did we find The Vending Machine, Inside of an old broken building there was a vending machine with the glass shattered and broken, we took all the food we could carry and ran, no one there to stop us, until we tried to exit, we crashed into someone, and that's when the trouble started...
Enjoy
Nothing compares to the feeling of falling or jumping. The thrill and rush you feel as the wind pushes back against you almost like it doesn't want you. The feeling I have right now, doesn't compare to that in the slightest. No this is worse. Falling out of control, blood flashing infront of my eyes, pain striking between my ribs, no wind strong enough to reject this falling object. Why I was falling...I didn't know, I just fell and fell, Hitting blackness at the bottom...Never to rise.
You'd think i wouldn't have time to think of anything, Only time to think "Ah I'm falling!". But with adrenaline slowing everything down I had a last chance idea, I fired the pistol I took from Justin, the odd sound of the gun he would recognize and come quickly. I realized something else aswell, Quickly was much too late.
Justin's PoV
"Damn it!" I quickly cursed under my breath, not knowing what else to say. I had come across some other civalist, but the "gaurds". They found us all, even me. Griffin and I were both able to run away, unsure of our escape but we were close. Close to old vending machine when we heard it. A single shot from MY pistol being fired, and we knew what it meant. We forced our tired bodies to run as fast as they could in the direction of the shot, arriving at the alley between the buildings, at just the right time to hear and see exactly what happened.

Recovery and Repair Chapters 1-4
Recovery and Repair
Prologue
It's the collapse of society, or at least that’s what I head when I listen to the conversations of the others who retained an at least semi normal life style. They speak of No-laws and Absolute freedom, being able to do whatever they want. I was never a fan of people, so I never really paid attention to what was going on. How people became more poor, fights and assaults and murder became common practice because of the lack of money, And how less and less government or any kind of powerful force that could tell us right or wrong, were mentioned and soon fell into a thing of the past.
I chose to ignore it as there talk moved on to some plan to change the world or some such nonsense. If we couldn't change it before things went to hell I truly didn't believe that we could change it now. I began to think on my own of the things that were left from average lives as I climbed to the top of the roof no one having any reason to stop me.
I thought about how the strangest things had survived and stay what could in the older days be called "Civilized"; Schools were still the same, although with me going to a private school and avoiding people I can't speak for public schools. Most large corporate stores stayed the same giving some people a strange feeling of ease and familiarity.
My eyes closed as the clouds parted and the sun shined down, I was never a fan of the heat, I stood from my perch on the top of the roof to look to the nearest town. It had a bit of an Apocalyptic feel to it some windows broken by kids running wild, cars stolen pieces ripped off and paint scratched, the lights and windows and signs of Large stores shining bright and clean. My thoughts drifted to how because of money they were able to stay perfectly clean and flourishing, while everyone around them suffered.
Something quickly drew my attention, sounds of shrieks and muffled yells sounding like screams into a pillow. It was a man no not one but several ganging up on 1 woman in an alley, I turned my head not wanting to see or even think of the rest as I heard her yells quiet as the chloroform took effect. Most people who retained thoughts and memories of "The Civil Ages" would be trying desperately to call the police or stop them. but there was nothing I could do. I was young weaker than them for sure unarmed. I was amazed that the more I tried not to think of the poor unnamed woman being surrounded by the masked men the more I thought about it.
Soon my thoughts turned to the plan to change the world, and while it was certainly impossible how nice it would be. I spaced out, I suppose anyway that would explain why it was night when I awoke I looked to where the woman was. Her body was mangled cold and dead, I looked away, Not sympathetic just disgusted by what the world had come to. And that’s when I decided...we needed to change and that, from now on, I would try to protect these people to make the world "Civalized"...
Chapter 1
My initial plan is of course to look for that group that was talking of changing the world. Only problem is I have no effin' clue where they went. I looked all around the town dodging the "gaurds" of the the town.
The "guards" as they're so kindly referred to were actually people who believed in the no laws law. The guards "plan" to keep it the way it is currently is to kill the supposed "Civalists". So naturally I avoided them by hiding in abandon buildings and by staying on the rooftops whenever possible.
I had never truly explored this town, never wondered about its past the way it was run into the ground, or even its name. I could see streets signs vandalized and wrecked and ruined cars crashed and broken bodies of civilists.
I had never let this all effect me before my hatred for people and they way they act and live had made me cold to the world. The effect shocked and surprised me. The surprise that I actually felt sympathy for this human race and these people was something most wouldn't be surprised by.
Rustling was coming from beneath me. From beneath the remains of someone who had met an ill-fate with the "guards". I dropped in what I intended to be a silent fashion but it sounded like a brick being dropped from a cliff, the rustling, naturally stopped.
I cautiously stepped forward into the dark to who, or I suppose it could be a what was violating the dead. It was a young human male looked normal enough. He carried what looked like a pistol hidden shoddily beneath a black and torn hoodie. With the hood being up I couldn't see his face, but he stood and looked me over his hand moving towards the "concealed weapon". He pulled the pistol out but wasn't quite fast enough, I step forward quickly and caught the pistol. The man fired hitting the bricks beside our heads, I pulled his hood back and took the gun.
Now today having been a surprising day it was no surprise that I was surprised by the man in the hoods identity. "Well, Well. I knew you were kinda creepy but digging through dead bodies Justin?" Justin Smith shrugged his shoulders "What about you grabbing young boys in the middle of the night? Besides I was checking to see if he had any money or ammo." Justin looked back the body. The dead man shall we call him...Jim? Why Not. Jim's wallet was torn open his pockets turned inside out his clothes thoroughly checked for anything that could be valuable.
"You been doing all right for yourself, I presume?" I asked glancing at Jim. "As alright as anyone can be." He stretched and smiled I think it was hard to tell in the shadowy alley. "Certainly never boring around here. Always something to shoot, who would've guessed playing real life Halo would be so much more fun." We both laughed. The laughter lasted longer than it should have as we had both stopped laughing.
But three more voices were still continuing to giggle at our retarded attempts at humor on what could be called a battle field. It was 2 men and 1 woman an assault rifle each and they were laughing because they knew by the way we dressed and acted, we were some of the "civalists".
Chapter 2
"Well, Well, Lookie what we got 'ere." the man on the far left smiled his teeth yellow and ruined the stereotypical bad guy in this type of story. "Original Line is original" I mumbled to myself. "Lukes like thus wuns gut a bite of un additude."(This is the man on the right speaking he has one helluvan accent dunno where it's from though)(by the way he said "Looks like this one’s got a bit of an attitude.") The Woman smiled and said "Ay, but that only makes it more fun."(apparently Irish?) Naturally and to put it in the best of terms we were screwed.
The simplest solution at the time is to hope that they miss, although the chances of 3 people missing 2 boys in a narrow alley with automatic assault rifles were pretty low.
I raised the single pistol and they all laughed heartily and raised their rifles to them at me grim crooked smiles covering their scarred faces. "Okay than."
Chapter 3
While I know it's bad writing style to take a break from the action, I do wish to explain Justin's background and how he came to digging through dead bodies Besides , cliff hangers are more fun and an evil way to make you want to read more, in fact I'm think of never going back to that spot and releasing what happens as a sequel for which you have to pay for. Enough of my babble let's see how Justin got here...
This next bit is told from Justin's perspective rather than Jordan's so I am referring to him.
"I'm locked in a prison." I thought to Myself, not a prison in the literal bars and locks sort, but a mental one. Locked somewhere I don't want to be wishing everything was different, it's the way it's always been. I enjoy exactly where I am, the school that I go to, I don't like how everything is run. I would prefer to be free with no laws no rules, no ruling force.
Skipping ahead to when things first began to look bad.
"It's gonna be even harder now, trying to get an Xbox while money is so tight" I said pulling my hood down to cover my eyes. Thomas laughed and began to speak of Halo 3 and Odst and of his recent attempts to achieve the annual achievement; I heard his words but didn't truly listen. I mean that I heard everything but I tuned it out as him bragging about his skill by putting everyone else down, but besides this slightly annoying cocky streak He's a cool kid and one of my closest friends little did I expect that me and him would soon be separated(dot dot dot)
Skipping ahead to when hell truly broke out.
Run, I have to run. I gotta run far get some sort of protection I had to escape as I ran down the streets people screaming, cars crashing nearly hitting me. a piece of rock from a nearby crash did hit me and I blacked out. my awakening was a strange one, people surrounding me talking of Civalists and the "Normals", they kicked me hard in the ribs and I sat up gasping for breath and holding where they kicked me. "What the hell man?!" I glared up at the man, who returned the glare with enough force to make me wish I could scoot back and also check and make sure my ribs weren't broken. The man, Alan, Laughed a horrible sound grizzly laugh, “You look like a Civalist but I may be wrong. and you look like you may be a normal with the look in your eyes, so tell me friend do you support the lack of laws like me?" I nodded mainly because of my fear for this man and partly because I was happy to think that maybe I could be free.
There was nothing free about being a "Normal" sure you could do what you want to civalists but, you had set area's to patrol things you aren't allowed to know, a full on army for taking over the world. After a while I got tired of this lifestyle being "Free" but still being ordered around another mental prison. Over this time Alan had become attached to me, so it was a horror to him to wake up one day his own pistol to his throat and me pulling the trigger. I didn't feel bad he had treated me like a slave, I took over his work while he became fat, lazy and rich, the kind of thing I hate. So I killed him took his money, his ammo and his pistol and ran, I wasn't a Civalist and I wasn't a Normal, I was a criminal in the land with no laws.
Back in the present from Jordan's Point of view.
Our breath came heavy and hard after the run from the 3 people in the alley. I stood and looked at our new hiding spot, an abandon building, in which we had found a gap in the bricks to slide between. Justin removed his hood unable to see through the fabric his blondish hair longer now and long scar down his right cheek. "Pretty little battle scar you got there." Justin Scoffed “It wasn't a battle I was running and a piece of rock smashed me in the face." "Well......that’s a suck." I said looking over at a boarded up door. Justin must have been looking at the door too because he spoke suddenly and very off topic "I wonder what’s behind that door?..." Only one way to find out I thought to myself.
Our brilliant plan to open the ancient looking and defiantly smelling door, was to kick it down. After an hour of working and 15 minutes of hopping up and down cursing from stubbed toes, we finally kicked it down and pushed the pieces out of our way. Suddenly a foot connected with my face and I tasted blood, naturally I was knocked down. I felt the foot hit the ground and I tripped the source of the kick, he fell with a voice that was Familiar to me. "Griffin?!" I exclaimed spitting blood to the floor so I could speak. "What the...The hell're you doing you retard, the Gaurds are gonna find us." I'm just guessing he knew it was us, unless he greeted everyone like this now.
Now obviously me and Justin were not expecting to find Griffin and certainly not expecting to find griffin in an abandon building relaxing with an old vending machine, while the world around him ended. We sat around stealing from Griffin's Vending machine while he wasn't looking, and discussing this plan to change the world...
Chapter 4
It’s raining heavily as we walk down this street the four of us, all tired dirty and soaked down to the bone. We were looking for something but we didn’t know what, something that needed to be found, peace maybe? Life caring anything left that’s needed in this world. My name is Destiny I thought to myself trying to keep my identity, making sure I wasn’t going insane, I mumbled to myself ”I am not insane, I am not insane” a force of habit by now.
The people I am traveling with are my close friends, Lily Naomi and Natalie, they’re obviously miserable, walking in the rain for hours getting close to a day now. No one spoke, the only voices were screams from miles away and the laughs of the guards, everyone shivered and not just from the cold, the chilling laughter of the guards was penetrating no matter how far away they were.
We know what we’re trying to do, to change the world and get us, out of this spot, this miserable place of cold and rain. I bumped into Lily who was staring up at a window where there seemed to be some sort of life, soft talking and whispering, we couldn’t hear what the words were. “Do you think they’re guards?” Lily asked very quietly. “Why would guards be speaking quietly? When we can hear them laughing for miles.” Naomi said once again softly. Natalie Piped up “We should go inside either way before we catch a cold, personally I’d rather be caught by the guards than caught by the guards and sick.” Everyone laughed quietly at the failed attempt at humor.
All of us slipped into a small hole in the bricks and shiver and shook, listening to the male voices from upstairs, we sat and thought about how we came to this…
Jumping back into the past still from Destiny’s point of view starting with the day things went bad.
I brushed my hair out of my eyes and tied it into pigtails on either side of my head wondering what was going on, why everyone had seemed so stress today and why everyone had seemed…almost antisocial, except for Noah of course just as bright and cheerful as ever. Strange I thought to myself and I went outside the door to the tile room, when a terrible screeching filled the air and I stared towards the nearest down even then I didn’t know the name of town.
It was a car crashing into a building smashing everything inside, there wasn’t too much panic until it began. The gunfire, gunfire everywhere, it’s terrifying to had bullets flying from nowhere to have to run from what you can’t see. We headed away from the town a larger group of eight of us, Noah Trevs Naomi Philip Natalie Delaney and Lily. I saw Dee, Alex Emma David and Griffin all running towards the city, Justin running with Thomas Katelyn, Kathryn and Alexis. And Elliot and Trevor Justin Little, and Kristiana Someone was missing, besides the teachers, my mother…I hope they can get away I thought and then took mental attendance of everyone someone was missing, Jordan wasn’t there I looked back to see him curled up on one of the library couches sleeping.
The explosion was quick I wasn’t expecting it, we were blow apart, not into piece but into groups, Philip Delaney Trevs and Noah were separated from us that day. I Sneezed which brought me back to the present enough to notice that the voice’s had stopped and I heard footsteps people coming, and it was too late they were there and the shock and relief I felt when I saw Justin Jordan and griffin, was amazingly powerful, I screamed in excitement and hugged all of them the other girls waking from their long awaited sleep to do the same. It was certainly a warm reunion.
Switching back to Jordan’s POV(Point of View)
“So, We’re all on the same page in that we wanna change the world huh?” I said speaking to everyone and looking at them all in turn. “Yep” Said Natalie. “so…Any plans?” Everyone looked at everyone else looking for someone who has something to say. “Well” Said Justin “We Could always kill all the guards?” Naomi Chimed in “That could take forever besides the risk involved would be too great…I don’t think any of us wanna die?” “I’m not partial to it.” I said quickly, The silence that ensued was long and uninterrupted unlike the old days where no matter how much people asked there was no silence.
“What if… We tried to form a resistance you know? Building a group of people who want civility, more than the guards as in number wise and then we just you know intimidate them into giving up?” Destiny said, Lily Nodded her head to show she agreed “Well than” I said standing and stepping onto the window sill looking out “Let’s Begin the Searching.”

I felt the foot hit the ground and I tripped the source of the kick, he fell with a voice that was Familiar to me. "Griffin?!" I exclaimed spitting blood to the floor so I could speak. "What the...The hell're you doing you retard, the Gaurds are gonna find us." I'm just guessing he knew it was us, unless he greeted everyone like this now.
Now obviously me and Justin were not expecting to find Griffin and certainly not expecting to find griffin in an abandon building relaxing with an old vending machine, while the world around him ended. We sat around stealing from Griffin's Vending machine while he wasn't looking, and discussing this plan to change the world...
Chapter 4
It’s raining heavily as we walk down this street the four of us, all tired dirty and soaked down to the bone. We were looking for something but we didn’t know what, something that needed to be found, peace maybe? Life caring anything left that’s needed in this world. My name is Destiny I thought to myself trying to keep my identity, making sure I wasn’t going insane, I mumbled to myself ”I am not insane, I am not insane” a force of habit by now.
The people I am traveling with are my close friends, Lily Naomi and Natalie, they’re obviously miserable, walking in the rain for hours getting close to a day now. No one spoke, the only voices were screams from miles away and the laughs of the guards, everyone shivered and not just from the cold, the chilling laughter of the guards was penetrating no matter how far away they were.
We know what we’re trying to do, to change the world and get us, out of this spot, this miserable place of cold and rain. I bumped into Lily who was staring up at a window where there seemed to be some sort of life, soft talking and whispering, we couldn’t hear what the words were. “Do you think they’re guards?” Lily asked very quietly. “Why would guards be speaking quietly? When we can hear them laughing for miles.” Naomi said once again softly. Natalie Piped up “We should go inside either way before we catch a cold, personally I’d rather be caught by the guards than caught by the guards and sick.” Everyone laughed quietly at the failed attempt at humor.
All of us slipped into a small hole in the bricks and shiver and shook, listening to the male voices from upstairs, we sat and thought about how we came to this…
Jumping back into the past still from Destiny’s point of view starting with the day things went bad.
I brushed my hair out of my eyes and tied it into pigtails on either side of my head wondering what was going on, why everyone had seemed so stress today and why everyone had seemed…almost antisocial, except for Noah of course just as bright and cheerful as ever. Strange I thought to myself and I went outside the door to the tile room, when a terrible screeching filled the air and I stared towards the nearest down even then I didn’t know the name of town.
It was a car crashing into a building smashing everything inside, there wasn’t too much panic until it began. The gunfire, gunfire everywhere, it’s terrifying to had bullets flying from nowhere to have to run from what you can’t see. We headed away from the town a larger group of eight of us, Noah Trevs Naomi Philip Natalie Delaney and Lily. I saw Dee, Alex Emma David and Griffin all running towards the city, Justin running with Thomas Katelyn, Kathryn and Alexis. And Elliot and Trevor Justin Little, and Kristiana Someone was missing, besides the teachers, my mother…I hope they can get away I thought and then took mental attendance of everyone someone was missing, Jordan wasn’t there I looked back to see him curled up on one of the library couches sleeping.
The explosion was quick I wasn’t expecting it, we were blow apart, not into piece but into groups, Philip Delaney Trevs and Noah were separated from us that day. I Sneezed which brought me back to the present enough to notice that the voice’s had stopped and I heard footsteps people coming, and it was too late they were there and the shock and relief I felt when I saw Justin Jordan and griffin, was amazingly powerful, I screamed in excitement and hugged all of them the other girls waking from their long awaited sleep to do the same. It was certainly a warm reunion.
Switching back to Jordan’s POV(Point of View)
“So, We’re all on the same page in that we wanna change the world huh?” I said speaking to everyone and looking at them all in turn. “Yep” Said Natalie. “so…Any plans?” Everyone looked at everyone else looking for someone who has something to say. “Well” Said Justin “We Could always kill all the guards?” Naomi Chimed in “That could take forever besides the risk involved would be too great…I don’t think any of us wanna die?” “I’m not partial to it.” I said quickly, The silence that ensued was long and uninterrupted unlike the old days where no matter how much people asked there was no silence.
“What if… We tried to form a resistance you know? Building a group of people who want civility, more than the guards as in number wise and then we just you know intimidate them into giving up?” Destiny said, Lily Nodded her head to show she agreed “Well than” I said standing and stepping onto the window sill looking out “Let’s Begin the Searching.”
