Blood on my name

Chaos in the Streets

Danica looked at me in shock, the shere fact that I was able to get into the military was big enough, let alone Sergeant General...Abby went to the window timidly to look to see what was going on in the Streets below, she covered her mouth in fear as she saw people dropping dead one by one by military forces. Gayla punched the support of the apartment in frustration as she turned to look over at me. "So what do we do all night Sam...people are dying and your standing here like you don't care.." I looked at the wall blankly, trying to come up with a plan to keep my family safe, Nicole was what it looked like, doing the same thing, but she looked scared...it took me a minute to realise that no one here besides Danni and I have actually been exposed to this type of hell... "SAM, WHAT ARE WE GON-" "SHUT UP GAYLA..." everyone looks at me in shock and fear, trying to hold their tears behind there eyes "Danni and her squad will keep watch, Gayla, Abby, Nicole and I will sleep in shifts, one person awake at a time...the door will remain locked and if I see anyone go into my Wardrobe I will slap a bitch..." everyone slightly chuckles and softly smiles as I strap the holster to my leg, I look up at Danni and motion my hand to secure the main entrance as the rest of us walk into the bedroom to get ready for bed. Abby and Nicole sleep next to eachother in there regular day clothes, I'm still in my uniform above the covers ready to spring up if need to be, Gayla is latched onto me in her sleep, she's slightly shaking and breathing heavy. I brush her hair behind her her as I pull the blankets over her and walk out to Danni "any sign of hostile personnel?" I ask in a tired tone, sitting down on the couch and closing my eyes "not yet, but we did have to escort a few to the stairway" Danni tells her squad to remain in position as she walks over to me "Sam...earlier this afternoon...I've never seen you like that, just, bursting out at Gayla and instantly taking control...I'm impressed" my hands start shaking as I'm having a flashback of Afghanistan, a small tear rolls down my face as I look up at her "back in Afghanistan...I had to completely slaughter a family that my commander thought to be hostile, he told me to start with the kids First, then the wife...then I had to shoot the man in the back and leave him there....I had to do that for every...house...we searched, we were searching for this man...Osama bin Laden, he was planning on blowing up the twin towers in New York city, on the 11th of September, but we couldn't find him..." Danni looked at me horrified "i-I'm so sorry Sam...if we knew tha-" "stop..." I say firmly "it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault, I just need to led my family away from here...as safely and stealthily as possible" Danni gets up, takes out her gun and points it at her squad, killing every last member. I pull out the gun she gave me and point it at her "what the hell Danni!, what are you thinking!" she chuckles and smiles "your family is gonna need body armor and fire power, arnt they? Now stop being a bitch and wait the night off..." Gayla wakes up and looks around the room "s-sam?" she says faintly "sam?" Gayla gets up and walks to the living room to see us both at gun point with 5 dead bodies on the ground "Sam?!" She starts to run at me as I quickly look at her, putting the gun down, hugging her "Sam What happened?" I sigh and look at Danni, I shake my head and sighs again "they were hostile...they had Danni against the wall, they were about to kill her before I walked into the living room and killed them..." She slowly backed up as I watched her facial expression change from worry to fear. I toss her my gun and spread my arms out "c'mon...your obviously scared shitless..." she looks at the gun and tosses to back to me "your not the Sam I used to know...where's the shy, loving, funny adorable Sam I used to call my friend?" I look at her as she seems heartbroken, I put the gun back into the holster as I walks towards her "he died...I'm a war in Afghanistan...the new Sam is cold hearted...because that's that we have to become to survive out there...I had to kill multiple families over in Afgan, that makes you turn cold" I neal down to look at her properly "Gayla, I know your scared...but you used to be a fighter, the one who would pick me up when I've fallen and the only one who could make me cry...I remember everything from the past, but the war in Afghan, that changed me..." I kissed her on the head as I walked her back into the bedroom "you'll be fine, everyone here will be, because they've got me" I smile and point to my chest as I say those words, Gayla smiles in reassurance and chuckles "what am i? 8?" she said smiling "well, you can act it sometimes..." she punches me in the chest as I start laughing "get some sleep, whenever everyone is awake, this will be all over..." she nods as she rolls onto her side and begins to fall asleep. I crawl back into bed as she grips onto me again, and falls asleep. Not knowing what will happen to My family, in the morning
