The Forming Bond. Story1

Dealing with madness

I shut my eyes as the man pulled the trigger, but the gun had fallen out of his hand, do to him being tackled to the ground. I frowned, seeing the other men starting to tackle the man one by one and took this chance to trip a man, using my feet to unholster his long Knife. I brought my legs up, laying the blade in my lap, deciding to try and stand up. Doing so, I scratched my forearms along the brushful oak, the blade falling out of lap and into the floor. I kicked he blade behind me, behind the tree so I could grab it, sitting back down, I grabbed the blade, starting to cut off the tape. Once doing so I quickly went for my sniper, grabbing it. I threw my bag over my shoulder, watching carefully as the men started to pounce each other. Seeing my crossbow, I grabbed it, having had slung my sniper over my shoulder. I holstered my python around my belt, having had pulled a grenade from my bag, unclipping it, I quickly threw it into the center of the men, running quickly, jumping over a log for cover. The grenade blew, the ground shaking, some trees starting to fall or burn up. Running quickly, I started to head straight for the highway, knowing I had completed my mission.

When I reached the highway, I heaved heavily, sitting down, and closing my eyes. 'What should I do now...?' I thought to myself, having doubt that anyone at Howes was alive. Getting up, I made my way back to Howes, deciding to risk it. Reaching howes within a few hours, I sighed, heading inside. Looking up, I saw that Ryan was watching the roof and shook my head, opening the door and walking in. I saw a bunch of new people inside, walking around like it was some community and frowned, looking up at the large lookout plats to see Kat. Climbif up the ladder, I sat down. Walking up to her, she seemed surprised to see me so I started to talk "Hey Kat. What's up with all the people?" She frowned, answering me "Ryan has been recruiting new people, apparently Z is still to annoyed with your exchange to give a damn. He mentioned to get them all to leave, but Ryan made a point that they were already here." I sighed, climbing down the ladder, walking towards the ladder that lead to the roof. Reaching the roof, I frowned, seeing Ryan talking to a few people. The man and woman raised their guns, so I merely rose my crossbow, shooting the man through the foot, only using one hand to wield it. He screamed in pain, Ryan managing to turn quick enough to stop the girl from shooting me. Not that I couldn't deal with it. The man got up, using all his will strength to get in front of my face "Who do you think you are?!" He hollered and I moved closer, having a scoel on my face "Someone who is not gonna hesitate to kill you!" I stated, before slamming my fist square in the face, knocking him out cold. Stepping over his corpse, I glared at Ryan, speaking in a low dangerous tone "This is why we don't let people in." He frowned, shaking his head "Why? Why did you change?" He asked, frowning. Narrowing my eyes while pushing him back, I started "You left. I waited nights and days for you! You know what happened to Sarah? Huh? He killed her, right in front of me. Where were you though? That's right, you pussied out and left! Your lucky I haven't killed your ass. Now, your not running shit here, so your gonna get rid of all these people and if u want to be with them, you join their asses. As far as me and you, we're not brothers!" By the time I finished my rant, I had shoved him near the edge of the roof, glaring at him. He looked back, seeing how close he was to the edge and attempted to manoever around me. I let him do so, waiting for him to speak "I didn't have a choice man, he was going to kill us all if I didn't." He exclaimed. Rage suddenly clouded my vision, as I responded "You knew?! You left knowing what he was gonna do and not warn me?!?" I kicked him down, but he twirled, getting up to swing block my next hit, but I broke past it, my fist connecting with his jaw. From there, everything went black.

I woke up to see that I was laying on the couch, Zeke and Kat looking at me with a frown. I turned to see Ryan there battered and bruiced, his face being unreconizable. I got up quickly, looking into the mirror to see that I had a black eye. Zeke spoke up behind me in his usual tone "Julius, if you continue this behavior, your going to need to leave." I processed this to myself, not really caring what he had to say. He continued "I understand that your doing what needs to be done, but you can only go so far with these things. You've been with us for awhile and have shown a whole lot of loyality, I know I can trust you in making a better choice. You best just stay away from him, for all of us not to be worried 24/7 about threats on the inside." I waited for a moment before responding back "Alright." I turned nodding, I looked at Zeke, before something caught my eye. My eyes widened when I suddenly saw Nero, just standing there staring at me with his coal black eyes. Everything just blurred out, the last thing I saw before being completely transed on Nero was Zekes and Kat's worried faces, Kat walking up to me saying a few words I couldnt make out. Nero suddenly started to walk off and I followed quickly, the move went all the way towards where Nero had supposedly died. I shook my head, talking to him "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that for Kat, I should have been here, keeping the place dafd while Zeke was out.." I had unhllstered my gun, looking slightly down and had it pointed downward, lowering and raising it, while talking "Maybe...maybe I could have killed them all and just left Kat on the bridge... I'm sorry alright? If you just leave me be, I could work things out, we can work things out." He shook his head, starting to speak up "No you couldn't have. You can only do one thing at a time." The members who had been brought into the community started to watch me talk to air, Zeke walking in front if the crowd, Kat following. The world didn't exist at the moment. I started up again "We can stop this...just let me start over, I just need one chance." Nero responded with a remark that made me come back to my senses "We all already started over bro, you just haven't been able to. I believe you can do it." I suddenly turned, holstering my Glock, and looking at the large crowd of people, starting to speak to them "You all need to leave...you need to look outside these walls and realize people that actually know how to survive won't be there to hold your hand...work together, find a new place..." I scanned over the crowd before finishing "....survive." The crowd remained quiet, Zeke just shaking his head, Kat staying quiet. Nodding, I walked off, the crowd of people starting to wonder off. Laying down on the couch in the office, I started quietly before falling asleep "Starting over."
