Civilization 7: Damned

Before the storm

3rd POV 

[On the highway]

A teenager driving her motorcycle to her high school with her backpack tightly secured on her back at the same time due to her paranoia for an unknown reason that is making her feel very uneasy brought also is hidden with her is an WW2 German bayonet that she inherited from her father, for her it was rather a royal pain to not only refurbish it but also sharping it to cut an Cantaloupe like paper! When she came across a stop light thus stopping everything is good till a rather ugly couple that is clearly showing too much of a good time indirectly challenged the teen on her motorcycle by firing his customized truck engine without knowing that there's an undercover cop behind them while the girl knows the cop since it's not only the county sheriff but her uncle that is raising her as she grin under her helmet. 

???: [confidante] Uncle, always enjoys watching me street race after he either give tickets or actually putting these idiots in jail. In a way I'm helping him by being me and I hope he can keep up with me this time. 

To make the couple feel it's on by not only firing her engine up and got several second ahead by passing the red light but giving the couple the middle finger and it did the trick the driver is right up behind her just a little to close making both the teenager and the sheriff nervous and slightly on edge then the said teenager start performing defensive maneuvers she self-taught and learned other moves from her uncle. 

???'s thought: [bit nervous] The living hell is wrong with em? Are they high on weed or something? 

[in the cop van] 

Uncle: [on his phone] This is Bravo 2-1 to Homeplate, over? 

Homeplate: [responding] This is Homeplate. 

Uncle: We may have another drug related chase on St. Treeve Road coming up on Circle K, over? 

Homeplate: Roger, dispatching unit A2 along with K-unit B5 too assist you. Over and out. 

Uncle: [calling the teenage motorcyclist] Come on, girl. 

[on the motorcyclist] 

???: "Dad", I'm a bit busy here. These jackasses are something else! 

Uncle: [loading his pistol] Get to our "watering hole", you know the one! You're free to go "Whiplash" mode! I repeat go into "Whiplash" mode! 

???: [excited] Hell yeah! 

She can finally let lose after the school exams and this current issue than kicked it off by adding the nitro into the engine encouraging the couple go faster and fall right for it unexpectedly however, the girl next the truck's driver hangs outside the firing her pistol at the teenage girl madly in response the teenager's uncle did the same at the driver due to his SUV being old and is losing speed made one last shot as the last bullet hit the driver [back of his head] at the same time the girl with the pistol managed to hit the teenager in her upper leg due to both the action and adrenaline the pain didn't ring a bell thus kept on driving. Looking behind she pulled off into the gas station's watching the truck rolling on itself while her uncle pulled up Infront of her cover them with his car while aiming his gun at the truck. Just she got off of her bike she instantly felt both the pain and blood rushing down her leg falling on the ground and leaning on the car. 

Uncle: [seeing the truck stop and help arriving] You good, Chris?!

Chris: [using her bayonet on her leg] Just fucking peachy, Dad! 

Unknown to him that she was hit after she used her bayonet to cut some of pant sleeve and used it as a makeshift tourniquet right when she pulled the bullet out then clean the blade from blood, she once more hid it from view with a very pissed off expression with bloodlust in mind that sometimes scares not only her uncle [that is basically her Dad] but several of his friends. Once the uncle's friends showed up and checking everything out the manager of the gas station came out with bottle of water and some food for Chris with a thank you expression, she gave her uncle a tight hug and kiss on the check then hop back into her bike and continue to school with one of the cops standing next to the uncle amazed.

Cop: [watching Chris driving off] That is one tough, girl. 

Uncle: [small smile] She got it from her mom that is my sister-in-law or was. 

Cop: Still hunting the bastard? 

Uncle: [eyes filled with anger] Yeah, I'm just lucky that Christana survived that car explosion if not for my older brother. 

Cop: [frown] Come on, found a lead to him and it's on the guy's body.   

Uncle: [putting his pistol away] Right behind you. 

[At school in her classroom at the start of lunch] 

Teacher: [staring at Chris] That what happened? 

Chris: [double checking her wound] Yeah, it's like they were having fun with their pray before killing it. Both Dad and I think they're high on something because of the odder when I stopped at the gas station was sticking to high heaven.

Teacher: [being serious] Go to the nurse station after math class and I assign one of your two close friends to help you in math and if the pain is getting worse than take the rest of the day off with no homework? 

Chris: [smiling] No ma'am. Just because what other refer to me as your "pet" doesn't exclude me from homework, I refuse to take such advantage of our friendship in that way. 

Teacher: [calm smile] Just like your uncle. I give you extra 10 minutes to cook your lunch and eat since you missed first two classes. 

Chris: [faint smile] Alright. 

She went to her little corner of the classroom distant of other classmates so she can eat in peace with her headphones in her ears then start to play a song as she cooks her MRE and very quietly humming along with it.     

As she still listening to the song and eating the MRE as well as studying chemistry one of her bullies sneak up to her and kicked where the bullet wound is after looking at her bully, she switched the song as she lost her temper and let it out on the bully.

After that fight Chris grabs the bully's shirt then drag her to her locker and stuffed her into it the to make sure she won't get out safely, Chris put a decent sized dent into the bully's locker then went to the nurse's station to cry into the pillow then she remembered a song that her actual father sang to her. 

She went to sleep and didn't wake up for a while with no pain not knowing that she rested on the bed with a bomb hidden underneath when it off it took half of the school with it also killed her two closest friends as well.
