Chapter 5: Destiny with No Last Name

         "Ouch!" screams a girl, jumping out of the shadows. "What about being more careful next time?" she mutters, hold her cut arm. The wound was pretty deep, I noticed with pride.

        She looks about the same ago as me. She has busy blonde hair which is tied into a failed braid. Standing about 5'6, she towers abover me. Her gray eyes strike me as odd, but beautiful. She is weilding a knife about the size of her forearm.  She must have noticed me looking her up and down because she introduced herself.

     "Now that we've been kind enought to keep our weapons to ourselves-," she sayd in a voice that much reminds me of a teacher. I blush.

     "My name is Destiny. Not about to share my last, because I ashamed of the scumbag I was named after," she says quite clearly, daring me to ask. I don't.

     "Wise Guy Cause. Section 3, squad 12. My weapon is an elevn inch steel knife. I'm good with a spear and a sword as well," she says, eyeing mine.

    I stand there, in shock, taking in the burst of information just thrown at me.

    "New to the cause, eh?" she chuckles dryly. "Present your name, cause, section, squad, weapons, skills, and kills. My list of kills is too long and you're too weak to be hearing it," she says proudly.

    "How do you know I'm not chipped? And what do you mean, too weak?" I ask, standing up taller, speaking with all the authority I can muster. Despite it all, my questions show exactly how desperate I am for answers. She understands and give them to me.

  "If you were chipped, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you. I'd be defending myself against you, " she explains.

  "You're too weak to kill me. If you weren't though, I'd list my kills to prove my strength and worth to live. But you're too weak to pose a threat," she tells me.

   Kills. Of course. She's fighting in the war. But she's on my side thankfully. 

   "So there are more like you? More fighters?" I sputter in relief.

    Destiny grimaces, but I' too excited to notice it. 

   "Soliders on our side? Are you trying to fix it? To solve this? Where are they? Where are the other fighters?" I ask, daring to hope.

    She gives a dry laugh.

    "Well let's go see the fighters. If you can call them that," she says in a flat voice.

Okay, chapter 6 done. Ugh, frusteration. It's not done, but I don't know what's wrong with it either. Suggestions, please. I don't know what to do with this...

P.S. See if you can guess which three girls Destiny is created after. Tell my your guesses in the comments :D
