Chapter 4: Plan In Action

5 Days Later

It's been almost a week since I met Azul, it has been a journey with him so far. He sure is an interesting person. You wouldn't expect a protogen to be like him at all. He's so caring and compassionate, and not to mention how meek he is. You wouldn't think he was a soldier at all. 

When I first met him he was always so jumpy, so scared of everything. It's nice to see he's relaxing more now that he's settled into this type of environment. I can't blame him though, I was that way too the first time I got into battle. Let alone what he had to go through so far, especially with that killer still lurking around. 

He's still out there someone, no body was found where Azul said he shot him. I'm sure he's just waiting for his chance to strike when our guards are down.

Luckily there hasn't been another incident, but it's always good to a keep an eye out for him. You never know what could happen. 

But enough about that monster. the other day we could hear jets fly over the nearby areas. That means there should be re-enforcements any day now, hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm starting to get sick of this place.

All me and Azul could do all day was sit around and keep each other company. Which is definitely not a problem, in fact I actually enjoy his presence unlike a lot of other people. Some people can just get under my skin so easily, especially those monsters that make us go and fight in these dumb wars.

But don't get me started on that. I prefer not to start ranting again. I'm sure Azul is sick of me ranting about that sort of stuff. I can get pretty heated up about some topics.

Anyway, it's been kinda mellow around this place the last couple of days. I could tell Azul has been feeling better. He seems more cheery than he was a few days again, he does sometimes act a little strange around me though. Almost like he's embarrassed about something and he doesn't want me to know.

Even though we've only known each other for about a week I would say we've grown to be pretty close friends. We share fairly similar beliefs and we can make eachother laugh even in these unfortunate times. 

Speaking of Azul, he's currently resting upstairs in our new base of operations. We decided to stay in a little inconspicuous house just out of town. It was definitely an improvement from our last abode, a lot less worn down than before. 

The place was nice compared to what I normally had to live in. Back at base everyone would sleep in these big rooms filled to the brim with bunk beds. 

Sure it doesn't have any electricity or running water but I still consider the lack of hundreds of other people always all around me a plus. I only have to deal with one person, and that person isn't a hassle at all.

It does sometimes get lonely when I go out or when Azul is resting. All I have are my thoughts when he's not around. Even though I never was much of a people person I still miss Azul when he's not with me. He's always a nice guy to talk to. If you ask me, I think me and him are becoming pretty close friends. 

He's the type of person that makes me want to change the world. To give people like him a place to call home. Sadly I don't really know how to do that just yet. I am normally good at coming up with plans but I'm just one person. What can one guy do just by himself? Well who knows, maybe I'll be one of the exceptions. 

As I was lost in my train of thoughts, I could feel something. A rumbling of sorts. I can feel it in my chest, and on my feet. There isn't many things this could be, and I was pretty sure it was just the thing I wanted.
