Stephan kissed Rylie as she walked over and put Addison down onto Grayson, leaning her on Grayson's arms, allowing him to easily hold her fragile body. Stephan looked at Moroal. "You ready, we have to save her Grayson needs her." Stephan said, "yes, I am ready I will do anything to make sure everyone is safe and okay, and I will protect everyone here at all Costs, no matter what it takes" Moroal said. "I love you," Stephan said to Rylie as he walked towards the door, "I love you too," Rylie answered, slowly shutting the door behind them as they walked out.

December 10th, 9:15 A.M., Daly City, 2029,
Stephan and Moroal walked along the grass. The cold air brushed off their Leather-like coats. Fingers on the triggers of their guns. Their fingertips feel like ice, and they continue walking in the cold like misty air. As they walked, Stephan saw the Storm Drain all burnt and Darkened, there was dirt filled all the way to the top, filling up the drain, the top piece still intact into the ground and dirt They got closer towards where Courtney and the Cult like people were. Only one member was walking the perimeter, "Do we even have a name for these Assh***s?" Moroal asked. "No," Stephan answered. "But when they walk over towards the tree that's around 50 yards away, we are going to make a dash for her and immediately untie her." Stephan said as he continued to look on. He looked over the Rocky Boulder. There was no Cult Member in view. "Now," Stephan said as him and Moroal both ran towards Courtney. her body sat there, unable to move, tape over her mouth. Stephan walked over towards Courtney and took the tape slowly off her mouth. "THEY KNOW YOU ARE HERE," Courtney Screamed. Stephan turned around to see a cult member running towards him. He quickly pulled his gun from his holster as the cult member stopped. Stephan pointed his pistol towards the cult member and pulled the trigger as the cult member pressed a red button on the side of his chest. The cult member immediately Blew into pieces as the bullet went through his blown-up Body, Stephan and Moroal blew backwards from the Explosion, The Shrapnel from the Explosion Hit Stephans Left Arm as his Back Smashed into the ground. Blood gushed from the Side of Moroals Cheek as a piece of Shrapnel just barely hit him. Both laid there, "GO NOW," Courtney yelled as they both laid their Weak. Stephan began to shake his head, his Vision blurry, blood oozed from his arm onto the cold Grass, he used the last of his strength to push himself off the ground and make his way towards Moroal. The sides of both their arms were Ashy and Burnt, Stephan continued to bleed as he tried to lift Moroal up, and Stephans blood leaked onto Moroals skin and clothes. he lifted up Moroal slowly, and they both began too slowly limp. in the Distance a Fast Faint Whistle Blew Against the Thick Wind. Noises Erupted and Echoed the air, the grass cracked to the footsteps behind them, they both looked at each other as Stephan held up Moroal. in the Distance 2 of the Dead Walked towards them. Stephan went to reach for his Weapon and realized it fell in the Blast. Stephan and Moroal avoided them and continued on past the Storm Drain. Whistles and loud noises creeped through the sides of Stephan and Moroal, Stephan turned his head, looking at the Snowy Cliff, one of the cloaked Cult members stood there. Stephan tried to pick up the pace. "We are almost there. Keep your head up." Stephan said, trying to comfort Moroal. "Do you think the other cult members heard the explosion?" Moroal mumbled under his breath, trying to keep up with Stephan, who was making sure he didn't fall. "Yes, I know they did," Stephan answered. His arm felt colder from the breeze blowing off the wet, thick blood from his arm. Stephan looked behind himself to see several Cult members, Bright Red Cloaks, their faces mainly hidden in the shadow from the hood. They were slowly walking towards them, not in any rush, "do you have your gun on you." Stephan asked as they continued on. "I think in my boot there's a little small pistol use that." Moroal said as Stephan reached down and grabbed the little Walther TPH .22. He turned around and pointed the gun towards one of the members. "You did this to yourself, you Cruel Bas****," Stephan said as he shot the gun. The bullet entered the Cult Members Arm, the cult member fell to the ground on his back, and all the other cult members just continued to walk towards them. Stephan looked ahead and saw the building. "We Actually F******g made it," Stephan said as he looked behind himself and saw nobody. They got up to the building, Stephan trying to hold Moroal up, sat him down on the ground, and leaned him up against a wall. "Someone help!" Stephan screamed, putting his bloody hands all over the stairs. With each step, he felt more Dizzy. A Bloody Handprint stained the woody like Stairs as he got to the top. He leaned against the wall, struggling to get up to the door. A burning sensation struck Stephans stomach. He looked down quickly and lifted a piece of his gear. He saw a huge slice mark open up with blood gushing out and leaking onto the ground. his body tensed up as he put his back against the door hard and sat down. he then proceeded to lay on the floor and look at the ceiling. Thoughts of his beautiful daughter began to overload his mind, giving him enough strength to stand up. He then twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.  he stood in the doorway, "Why is this unlocked?" Stephan mumbled as he tumbled to the floor. his blood soaked through his leather coat. Rylie ran over to him and put pressure on his Wounds, "Charlotte get Something now, quickly," Rylie shouted as she continued to hold the pressure onto the slice Mark. "If Molly was still here, she would be able to fix him up she was a doctor," Rylie said as Charlotte ran over, giving her a Rag. JR walked up to Stephan. "What happened out there?" JR said as Stephan sat there trying to breathe. "Moroals, he's downstairs," Stephan let out. Gasping for air. "Can you get moroals and help him up here?" Rylie said. JR knodded and walked out the door. The sounds of a Missle grew closer and crashed right outside of the building. The power from the explosions busted all 6 windows upstairs. And caused loads of smoke from the dirt outside to rise in. Everyone grew quiet as 3 more Missles shot off and crashed right outside the building, shaking the entire ground. Stephan tried to crawl to one of the wall like areas, Rylie went off to find Grayson, Sadie, and Addison. She got towards the middle of the room to see Grayson over Addisons body, making sure she was okay, Sadie next to him Stephan got over to a wall area and got up onto one of the beds, he then untucked the sheets and pulled them off fast, he tied the sheet around his Waist area covering the wound and applying pressure. He stood up off the ground and walked over towards the doorway, and yelled downstairs. "ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?" Stephan screamed, hoping someone would hear him."NO HELP, I CAN HARDLY BREATHE DOWN HEAR AND JR WENT OUTSIDE AFTER THE FIRST EXPLOSION AND HASNT COME BACK" Moroals yelled. Stephan walked out of the doorway and began slowly going down each step. Dust filling the entire Room Area, his lungs filled with dirt as he walked through the smoke like debris. He got down the stairs and grabbed ahold of Moroals Arm and slowly brought him back upstairs. Both leaning on each other to gain momentum to keep going and not fall over. They got upstairs, and both fell to the ground. Stephan held his wound that bled all over the white sheet. Soaking it's material Stephan tightened it more, stood up and grabbed ahold of Moroals again, and dragged themselves to the room.

Around 30 minutes later, 11:23 A.M. Daly City, December 10th
"You think they're done?" Don asked. "I don't know, only one way to find out, let's go," Mikey said. Mikey, Don, and Charlotte all went outside the door, Stephan struggled to stand up and follow. "No, you need your rest. Love lay down over there. Let Dr Flemming look at you," Rylie said, "okay" Stephan answered as he walked over towards the bed.

11:27 A.M., Daly City, December 10th
Charlotte, Don, and Mikey all went outside and began slowly looking around. JR slowly peaked his head from a bush and came out with hands up. "I had to make sure it was-" He was cut off as a Gunshot went off, his entire eyeball blew out of Socket and onto the ground as the bullet passed threw the back of his head and came out the front.  He looked everyone in their face as he tried to speak, JR then tried to walk towards them but got stopped in his tracks as he was then shot in the chest. Blood poured from his back and leaked onto the ground, causing little puddles to invade the floor. He then fell flat on his face. Don, in shock, began to back up. One of the Cult Members was scene in the distance. 10 other ones began slowly coming from each side of the trees. "Oh, WHAT THE F***?" Charlotte screamed as she told everyone to run back inside. All the cult members then immediately rushed them. Sadie in the Window, one of the cult members sees her and points his gun towards her. He hesitates and pulls the trigger. The bullet entered her chest as she flew backward. Everyone that was outside tried running back in. The sound of a bullet blasted from the pistol as the bullet entered Don's back, causing him to lose balance, Charlotte and Mikey got back towards the house and entered the doorway. Charlotte turned around to see one of the Cult Members slowly walking up to Don, who tried crawling to the door. As the cult member got closer to Don, he pulled out a lighter, then pulled out a bottle with darker looking liquid inside. He began to fill his mouth up with the liquid. He got up to Don and stepped on his leg. Charlotte pointed her gun towards the cloaked Cult Member and went to press the trigger. She was then blocked by Don's body as the Cult member picked him up by his shirt. Don looking him in his face, "You're a B****," Don said as he began coughing up blood from his punctured lung. The Cult member, then staring back at him, intensly puts the lighter up to his face and blows. The flame grew huge, forming clouds of flames as the Cult member dropped the Lighter and fell back. Don's entire face began to melt as his skin began to crust off like cheese pizza. Bits of his Skull showed within the flames as his entire body began to burn, covering parts of his screams. The Remaining Cult members turned around and began walking the other direction. Don twisting and turning screaming in pain. "Someone has to help him!" Charlotte said, all nervous. "There is nothing we can do, but shut the door." Mikey said. "Are you serious right now?" Charlotte said, shoving him and running outside. The entire surface was destroyed from the missles. She got to his body that was still in flames. He no longer was moving. The sounds of his screams no longer existed. "He's D***." Charlotte began to tear up. "This can't be happening right now," Charlotte said as she stood up and walked towards the doorway. "Let's go," Charlotte said to Mikey, closing the door and walking upstairs, Mikey followed.
