2031. Just another year after the war. But the house felt more lively than usual. Someone new? You wondered.

When you left your room, you entered into the living room to see exactly that. No one noticed you at first, but Bri saw you from the corner of her eye.

"Well good morning Rookie! Glad to see you're finally awake!" She smiled.

"So this is Rookie, huh?" The newcomer said. "Yep. Rookie, this is Cooper. He's another old pal of ours." Braxton informed you.

"Another one?!" You joked. "Yeah. We were kinda popular with the nerds." Hunter smirked.

"You shouldn't be proud of that." Gillian glared at him. "Says the bitch that's best friends with a nerd. Oh, wait, you couldn't say that because you left her for popular jerks that treated her like trash." Bri said bluntly.

"Ooo, catty." Someone whispered.

"Now Bri, what did we say about starting fights over pointless things?" You nagged her jokingly.

She sighed. "Not to do it again..." She answered with a bored tone.

You clapped your hands together and sat down next to her. "Good!" You patted her head as she chuckled.

"So what's the plan for today?" Blake asked.

"First, before we start anything, how did he get here?" You pointed to Cooper.

"Oh you know, the unusual. Walking around, almost got killed, then saved." Cooper answered you.

You gave him a puzzled look. "Who almost killed you?"

"Bri."

"And who saved you?"

"Also Bri." Bri just smiled innocently as he answered. "Why in the world were you wandering around out here?" You stretched out your back from hours of not moving much.

"I'm not entirely sure, actually. I was kidnapped by a group of people and next thing I know, I'm tied to a tree. And about to be burned at the stake. Then Bri comes by and kills everyone, cuts the ropes, and leaves before I can say thank you." Cooper told you.

"The heck?" You look at Bri and she shrugged her shoulders.

"Since this new 'Mystery Person'-A.K.A. Bri-saved Cooper, I don't think we'll need to hunt them down like last time." Blake said and looked at Braxton, who only smiled.

"I had a job to do, no matter how much it hurt to do it. But hey, look at us now! Bri's alive, E is dead, and I only have a minor fracture in my shoulder! Thanks for that, by the way." He turned his attention to Logan and the two both laughed, and soon after everyone else joined.

After everyone went quiet, Braxton spoke once more. "But seriously, screw you."
