The Broken Wave (SidePack vs. COD Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Preston's POV:

Where am I? How did I get here?

My eyes flutter open to see blurry darkness. I feel the dank ground beneath my hands. I roll them along the ground to reach something else.

"Hello?" I whisper in a small voice, "Anyone?" I say a little louder now, fear tainting my voice.

"Preston?" A pained voice says from the dark void, "Are you ok? Do you know if anyone else is here?"

"Ugh, yes there are more people here Mitch." Harry sighs exasperatedly. Being Harry he practically yelled it. As a reaction you can hear lots of shuffling now. Each slightly making a role call with their orderly murmurs.

Together we figured out everyone was here, almost safe and sound.

The void-like darkness started to become lighter. Like the stars of the void getting closer and closer until the light evened out to make enough light to clearly see everything. But also allowing eerie shadows to creep up walls.

My heart stopped. We were in 'Shadows of Evil'. Realization spread on everyone's face, we were probably going to die.

I felt something form in my pocket, reaching in I pulled out a, card? I look up to see everyone else had done the same. I tap it in confusion to see it turns into a holographic card with my name and a score on it, 500.

"Hey did you guys see this?" I ask hesitantly.

"Yes, ye, ya..." They all mumble.

I start to observe our little starting area, walking over to a wall I see a gun sketched with a number below it and a little slot to slide a card in next to the number. 200. Cautiously I stick my card in the slot. A light 'ching', indicating a purchase, echoed throughout the area.

A light-blue light slid out of the outline of the gun. White sparks bouncing off of it, like mini fireworks, solidifying the hologram until it floats down to the floor.

Hesitantly, I grab the gun off of the ground. MP7? No, AK-47? No.

I sigh in frustration that I can't tell what gun it is.

But really that doesn't matter when the metallic voice speaks again.

"Wave one begins in 1 minute, and know that there is no respawn."
