Say It Like You Mean It

Chapter 1

So here's how it started: The government finally passed the law to make the annual purge legal in North America. It would take place in October on Friday the 13th. Of course, the most unluckiest day of the year. As soon as Friday the 13th came around, just as you could imagine, all security systems were shut down, 911 couldn't be called, even some doors couldn't be locked, and everything was legal. Killing, raping, drugging, drinking while intoxicated, speeding, stealing, anything you could imagine was allowed. Hate your enemy? Guess what? You can now kill him; with no jail or cops or punishment at all!
As soon as the government shut everything down, hackers hacked it and made it so the security system would never ever come back on again. And trust me; it didn't. The hackers protected it by codes even themselves didn't know. How? They just typed a bunch of random keys and pressed enter. My name is Mira Kronnasgha and I purged to stay alive. Haha #stay-alive challenge accepted. To many people, I am known as The black defender. I am dressed head to toe in black. I always wear combat boots, black jeans with black knee pads, a black long sleeve shirt, a bulletproof jacket , and a light black sweatshirt , and a cloak (obviously black) , leather gloves, a gas mask, a gun in a holster on each side of my hips, a bow and arrows on my back, and lord knows how many knives. Why defender you may ask? I avenge those whose died in vain. My mother and little brother both died. I never knew my father. I am also half German. Amazing, I know. No one knows my real name, only my family did, and they're long gone. It's now December 17th, 2022. This stupid game started 5 years ago. The day everything changed.

(Present time)
I walk into a town. The sign looks like it says Maryville, Vermont. I see some people hide behind their stands in the central market. I hear a person whisper, "The Black Defender. She's here!"  The central markets are safe zones. Nothing illegal aloud. I walk up to a food stand, grap a bag, pack it full, hand it to the cashier. "That'll be $23.45 ma'am." He says. I drop some money on the table and whisper "keep the change" Then walk away. I always keep my gas mask on so no one can identify me or see me. I walk over to a weapon smith and buy some arrows and a sword. "T-that's 8-86.79" He shivers in fear. I put my money down and say to him, "I avenge those who died in vain. I don't hurt innocents. Don't hurt me and I won't hurt you. Deal?" I ask trying to calm him down. "D-deal." I shake his hand. I wave good bye and start to leave when someone appears out of nowhere. "Let me join you. I want to avenge my grandparents. I want to kill those who have the need to kill others." He says. He's wearing a mask too. I sigh. "I don't want a playmate. So fuck off." I say in a deep voice. "I want to protect those who want the same for this world." He says. "Say it like you mean it." I say. "Huh?"  "You heard me."  "My duty is to kill those who have the need to kill others." He says with much more meaning. "Rule 1: Assassins are quiet. 2: kill those who kill before us. And 3: Say It Like You Mean It."  I Say. "Ok yes ma'am." He says. He takes his mask off. "Ughhh that was getting sweaty." He actually looked... cute. "You gonna take yours off girlie?" Hey says smirking. I sigh. "You're not a spy are you?" I ask. "No! How rude." He turns away and pouts. "Fine. Just don't tell anybody what you saw." I say. "Yes ma'am." He salutes. I slowly take my mask off for the first time since this whole game started. He hands me a mirror. I don't look as bad as I thought. I clean it with some water and look much better. "What's your name?" I ask him. "Jacob. Yours?" I take a chance. "It's Mira." I say while putting my mask back on. "Age?" He asks. "14. You?" "16." He says with a smile. I smirk. "So we're partners?" He asks raising his eyebrow. "Tell anyone my name and I'll kill you. But don't do that, and I think we could be good friends." I say giving him a fist bump. "Oh, I like the way you talk, girlie." He smirks while putting his mask on. I chuckle. We now both have our masks on, and look super badass together. "Where to next girlie?" He asks. "To my only friends house in the woods." I say "He'll let us sleep there for the night."
"Cool, lead the way." Jacob says. It's dusk when we get there. I knock on the door. "Who is it?" A guy says. "A friend with friends." I say. When the purge started, Me and a bunch of other people started up the Underground Railroad again. We even gave all members a map. And we used the same password that people like Fredrick Douglas and Harriet Tubman had. 'A friend with friends' .  A man in his early twenties opens up the door. "Muffin!" He says and hugs me. "Hey Horace." I say. "Long time no see eh?" He laughs. I never told him my real name so he always called me muffin. I did show him my face once though. "Oh, got yourself a boyfriend?" He smirks. "No! We're just partners." I blush. "The names Horace. Nice to meet ya." He says. "You too. I'm Jacob." Jacob says.

Time skip ••••••••••••••

We get settled and I keep watch first. Even though the doors lock, you can never be to careful. I then switch spots with Jacob at 12:00 am and go up and go to sleep.
