Silent Sniper

Chapter FOUR

The car stops abruptly and there is yelling.

"Addy! Mack! Take Murphy! Doc and I will take the baby, 10k you go with Ash, we need to split up Zeros are on our tale. This may take a while." I was hesitant on leaving Colton, but I knew Warren would protect him. I still held her words carefully. She said life or death situations, Doc had the baby, and if we where going to stay safe, I needed my hands, 10k can't protect me from getting caught.

10k and I run into the woods, shimmeying up a tree, he sits and I sit but I almost fall off, he catches me and pulls me to him telling me to shush. I grab my sling just in case and what they called Zeros where right below us. They have guns. There are about 6 of them. I shot one and then 10k shoots one with the slings.

One notices us and starts shooting. We move to the side and one gets me on the leg. I bite my lip to stop myself from screaming. I put pressure on the wound and breath. 10k covers my mouth and I breath through my nose pain striking through my leg. I fight to stay awake, and surprisingly I do. I lean back into him and start to cry. It is still in there and every move that I make hurts.

"It will be over soon, just stay alive ok?"

I nod and he uncovers my mouth.

"What's your real name?" I ask. I hiss in pain when he moves his foot a little and he whispers a sorry.

"What's yours?" He counters. I stay silent. He knew Ash wasn't my real name.

"How'd you find out?" I ask feeling I was about to sleep.

"Keep talking, and I just know." I blush and feel my eyes closing.
"10k.....I'm......losing to much............Blood." I say breathing heavy, the feeling if death hovering over my shoulder.

"Stop......It...." I whisper. He rips a piece of his shirt behind me causing me to wince and then wraps it gently above the wound.

"Bite this." He hands me my sling and I bite it with all the strength I have left.

I bite and then he tightens the cloth as tight as he can and I almost scream, but take it out on the sling. After its done I feel my leg go numb.

Some of the Zeros that had went the other way came back. 10k jumped down and finished then off taking some of their guns. He looks at me and comes to grab me but I stop him.

"Leave me. I'm gonna die anyway. Take care of.....Colton." I say fighting to stay awake long enough for him to get away and for me to distract to Zeros. I knew I was to die from blood loss, but I needed to know Colton would be safe.

"No, the last person I left is someone I don't even know anymore." He says. He throw me over his shoulder and starts walking.

"Hold on."

I hold on and he starts running to the best if his ability.

I try to push off him, but he holds on. I sigh and rest my head. He sets me in the bed of the truck, and then I hear a few whistles signifying he was using his sling and when I feel I am about to pass out, I feel slaps on my face, but it's another pinch compared to what I feel now.

All of the sudden I feel something push into my wound really hard. I try to shake out off and sleep, but it won't stop and it keeps getting worse and worse until I awake and cry out.

"Good, your alive. Sorry." He says. I nod and start to feel sick. The pain I had just endured making my stomach churn, and I puke over the side if the truck.

When done I look at him, an she has a look of sympathy. "Tell....Me your name." I say. He looks down and stays silent.

"I'm gonna die anyway, what's the......harm." I say with labored breaths.
