A man runs into the bunker. "This is not a drill!"  He screams. I shot up in my bunk bed. Everyone was running outside, following the screaming man.

I jumped off the side of the bed and grabbed my hand gun and spare magazine from the table beside the bed. I flung it over my shoulder and ran outside to see what all the fuss was about.

As i exited the sleeping courts I ran to the crowd gathered at the entrance of the camp.

I shoved through the crowd until I reached the front. I followed everyones gaze to a crows of horses. . And hundreds of soldiers.

"What is this?" I whisper to the guy next to me. He looked at me and turned back to the trucks. It was hard being the only girl in the camp. When DePual first showed up in America I was in the military. DePual mostly targeted woman. Don't get me wrong a lot if men died too. But, to everyone 10 men who were immune there was 1 girl. The other 15 girls in camp died months ago.

Soldiers started jumping out if the trucks. Guns loaded in each set if arms. Our general, General Marks, stepped in front of the crowd of soldiers.

"Can we help you?

A man shoves one of the other soldiers aside, emerging from the army. He takes off his glasses and sticks then in his pockets.

"Lets cut to the chase." He smiles, exposing dirt teeth. "You and your army come with us willing, or you will for ed to compromise."

"You seem to have plenty soldiers." General Marks points to the soldiers behind the man.

"We can't build a country with only a few hundred."

"There's no one to go to war with."

"Well, soon there will be. So, what do you say? Save yourselves."

"We don't want to join your army."

"Fine. I never liked negotiating anyway." He made a hand gesture towards or crowd and the soldiers raise their guns and take steps towards us.

The strange man,then,, whips out a hand gun and shoots General Marks in the head.

General Marks's body slumps to the ground. As if on cue the army runs forward and starts grabbing soldiers and hauling then toward the trucks.

I watch a man from my camp shoot at the soldiers, just to be shot in the head, too.

Hands wrap around my shoulders.

"General! This ones a girl!" The soldier turns me around.

I jab the solider in his nose with the barrel of
my gun. He falls back and I take off towards the woods.
