Sole Survivor

Intro

Once the bombs fell my family and I were at home with my bestfriend, Nora.

Knock, knock.

"I'll get it." I said to Nate walking away from the mirror and to the front door.

Knock, knock.

"One minute, calm down." I said.

Once I opened the door guess who it was? My bestfriend Nora!

"Hey, Nora!" I said smiling wide.

"Ava!!" She said back.

"Come in." I stepped out of her way letting her into the house. "Whats up?"

She walked to my couch and plumped down on it. Fun. I sat next to her.

"Nothing. Just came to see you in case we die."

Little did you know, Nora...

"What?" I asked dumbfounded.

"You know.. war.. us."

"Oh yeah.. Well, I love you too." I said getting up. "I'll be back."

I walked into Shaun's room to see him crying. I picked him up looking at him, "I love you, babyboy." I said repeatedly.

Unexpectedly Nate came in, "How's my two favorite people doing?"

"Look Shaun, it's daddy."

Nate laughed lightly playing with Shaun. Boy do I miss these moments.

"So what do you say about going to the park later?"

"Sure."

Giving Shaun to Nate we both walked to the sitting room and sat down watching the news.

"With the world poised on the brink of war, Vault-Tec is reporting a record number of reservations in Vaults around the country.
Vault-Tec announced a continuation of their popular "Welcome Home" promotion. They report openings are still available in area Vaults 81, 111, and 114.
Since debuting Vault 76 last year, in honor of America's Tercentenary, Vault-Tec continues to expand with plans for well over 100 Vaults around the country"

Vault-Tec.

Knock, knock.

Speak of the devil he shall appear.

"It's probably that Vault-Tec salesman, he's been looking for you Élise." Nate said to me.

I got up and opened the door, "Goodmorning!" He greeted me, "I'm so glad I could finally reach you, I've been trying for days."

"Well im here now, what do you need?"

"You have been chosen to be a participant for vault 111!"

"Is there enough room for my family?"

"Yes of course! The vault is protecting you from, ahem, total atomic annihilation. I'm afraid its inevitable, and vault - tec wants YOU, and your family to be ready. so just fill out this paperwork, and I'll walk it back to the vault."

"And done." I said handing the sales man his pen and clipboard back with my information on it.

"Good. Good! I'll walk this right back to the vault."

I shut the door and stood behind the couch, the newsman was saying something interesting.

"Followed by... yes, followed by flashes. Blinding flashes. Sounds of explosions... We're... we're trying to get confirmation... But we seem to have lost contact with our affiliate stations... We do have... coming in... confirmed reports. I repeat, confirmed reports of nuclear detonations in New York and Pennsylvania. My God."

"Wha--" I was interrupted by sirens, screaming and trucks.

It sounded like the end of the world, little did I know it was the beginning of a new one. Nate came out still holding Shaun with Nora behind him.

"All Vault participants head this way!" I heard a soldier yell.

"Nate, take Shaun. I will be there."

"What? No!"

"Nate, go."

He scoffed and ran to the vault quickly. I turned to Nora who had a horrific look on her face. "Are you?"

"No."

"Damn it." I hugged Nora tight, "I have to go, Nora. I love you, wait on me." I said smiling a reassuring smile.

She smiled and went back into my house. As I ran to the vault I heard someone. "What? That's Absurd!" It was the vault tec salesman, "I am vault tec!"

"Sir, im going to need you to step back," the officer stepped forward intimidating the man, "or I will make you."

He scoffed and walked off. I caught up to Nate and Shaun who I guess were waiting for me.

We all walked up, "we're in the program." I said.

The guard looked at his board then st us, "Go on, hurry."

Once we stepped on the platform it lowered, dust, fire, debris all flew above us. This was the end.

Inside the vault was big. I didnt even get to the whole vault because we weren't in there for too long. Once we got in we grabbed our vault suits, put them on and went straight to these big machines.

They froze us... Some type of experiment, though it went wrong. Some man and scientist killed Nate and took Shaun from him. When I woke up everything was dead, gone. I got out as fast as I could and travelled through Concord and encountered the place called 'Covenant.' I didn't stay there for too long because I was going to this 'Diamond City' to find a detective to help me locate my son...

Wish me luck.
