'The Red War'

3

Edd grunted as the sunlight shined through the old windows. Shaking his head and sighed making his way out of the room looking at the other survivors..Some resting, eating or attending to wounds for friends or family. It hurt seeing all these once happy people turned to fear and worry for their lives! That laid in the hand of a man who craved the entire power of the world in his grasp...

Edd adjusted his coat and stepped outside looking at the red sky with tired eyes, being on the run could destroy a man's mental health. He thought back to his friends and frowned looking to the side "Where are you guys.."

"Freeze!"

His head quickly turned looking at four figures in the distance, looking back at the resistance he motioned for them to stay and ran towards the yell with a slight hope. Stopping on a pile of rocks he looked down with narrowed eyes as he examined the situation.

Standing not far was a girl possibly about 18 with a little girl maybe 10 hidden behind her shaking in fear, both covered in dust and faint scarlet on their clothing. Red and brown hair matted and scars but the oldest stood tall something Edd had seen with the familes and fathers protecting as best as they could..

"Leave us alone!" The oldest snapped throwing a rock at one of the males, a tall Ginger with a green overcoat and a purple hoodie quickly grabbing the object and dropped it. "The Red king demanded that every outsider is either brought to the base to join or die" The other spoke wearing a blue dress shirt and spiked up brown har..

Wait...

"And be mindless soldiers working for the devil!? Not a chance!" The girl yelled keeping the younger one behind her as she whimpered holding her side. "You tell that "king" He is a menice and should be dead for his crimes!" She huffed before coughing from the dust in the air. "Dont speak about your king that way!" The ginger snapped raising his gun watching the girls back up.

"He is no king to me..." She spat watching the two men walk forward one with his gun and the other with a chain. Edd looked around for a idea pulling out a pistol and aimed at a old trash bin..Taking a small breath he fired watching the bin fall. The men turned at the gun fire loading their weapons "Matt Ill report these two to Red, you handle the incident" The brunette huffed turning his attention to the girls while the other walked.

Edd jumped out and swung at the ginger who looked shocked and backed up to aim. His eyes narrowed as Edd got a closer look...A robotic eye and metal chin replacing a few parts of the males face.

"Matt?...."

"Edd.."
