Apocalyptic Survivor

Chapter 5

Suddenly the darkness disappeared and I was tied up to a chair while Amber lay bleeding on the floor in front of me. I start screaming for her but she doesn't respond and I fear she is dead but suddenly I hear a voice behind me say " it's a pity, she could have been useful."

Who's there I ask curiously. My name is kahmed and I work for The Waste.

What is the waste I ask.

The Waste is an organisation founded by a powerful man who's aim is to find and conquer and if you are not with us then you are against us and must die kahmed says.

That is stupid I say and I feel a hard knock on my head as kahmed hits it with Amber bat. I didn't finish what I was going to say I shout at Kahmed.

As I was saying before I was interrupted and as I start talking I am wondering where this sudden confidence h's come from, maybe it's from seeing Amber on the floor motionless. 

I said it was stupid because we should be helping each other to rebuild and restore the world and not be part of an empire I say.

That is your opinion for now but in time you will come to see the truth and you will join us or end up as your little friend has so I will leave you to think for a while and when I come back I will expect a decision Kahmed says.

I hear a door slam and I look down at Ambers body and I say " I wish we could have gotten to know each other more, I wish I could have had the courage to tell you how beautiful and amazing I find you and I think that your one hell of a girl"

I close my eyes and then I hear a voice say " don't get emotional with me here "

I look up at I see Amber is standing above me holding her chest and I nearly shout out " how the fuck is this possible "

She says shutup and tells me that the bullet went clean through her chest and that the idiots that bruaght us here didn't check me properly. She u ties me and she nearly falls over but I grab her. I say to her that she is still injured and that she need to take it easy.

I sit her in the chair and grab our stuff. I help her to her feet and we make our way to the door. I open it and I see a guard standing down the passage. I close the door and look at Amber and I feel inspired so I get up the courage and make my move to break us out.
